TAMING LUCIFER

I I don't understand why this keeps on happening. Every single damn night I'm running through the same woods that I don't even know of. Why am I running? Nah real question is who am I running from? I guess it's someone important because I wouldn't be as scared as I am right now. I turn back around to see if anyone is following me but luckily, no one is not. I turn back around to catch my breath and I see the same man that I see every night. "I believe it's your time." He says with a devilish smirk What the hell does he mean "What are you talking about?" I ask him, unsure of what he's saying and his smirk turns into a grin. "You belong to me now." He says while grabbing me and turning me around so that my back was pressed against him. I screamed for "HELP!" Before he ends up snapping my neck.....again. "AMARA! AMARA WAKE UP!" s**t, another nightmare. "f**k Amara, this is the fourth time this week. I'm really worried about you." Wanja said to me, comforting me by hugging me tightly. "I know, I don't know why they're all coming all of a sudden. This....this man keeps popping up in my head. A man I've never met and it scares me." It's true, why am I dreaming of a man full of tattoos killing me? "To be honest, and I'm being honest and don't take this the wrong way." He said as if she was unsure of what to say. I simply gave her an "ok?" Look before nodding at her to continue. "I feel like...I feel like you should go see help." She said while biting her lips. "You think it's that bad?" I asked her and she nodded "Ever since you were 18 you kept having them, it's still happening and your turning 21 tomorrow. I just think it's what's best for you." She simply said and can I tell you how grateful for this amazing friend I have. She pulled me into a hug and I simply told her a thank you for her honesty "Good, because I booked you an appointment at 3:30 today and it's 2 so get ready, I'm dropping you off." I knew if I argued, it wouldn't result well. So I just stripped my clothes off and stepped in the shower The warm water seemed to calm me mostly. But I still couldn't shake the feeling of the strange man snapping my neck. I shivered at that thought. But my mind went somewhere else. He wasn't.....that bad looking. If anything, this man looked like a Greek god. Pretty sexy too. O god Amara stop with these thoughts. This is an imaginary man we're talking about! The water turned cold and I decided to end my shower. I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around my body before walking into my room. If you're wondering, Wanja and I are roomies for college. I knew her since high school and can I say that I'm glad I met her. I sat on my bed and grabbed my lotion and moisturized my whole body before slipping on my Calvin Klein bra and underwear and slipping my black Adidas sweater on and my Nike leggings. I just wore some fuzzy socks before slipping on my space jams. "Wanja, I'm ready!" I yelled out for her while sitting on the couch. "Coming!" She yelled back and two seconds later she appeared. She was wearing a Nike sweater with her roots pants and her white air forces. She looked amazing and she didn't even have to try. We left our apartment and hopped in her Honda Civic. We stopped by Tim's first just for some coffee before driving to the "session" As I walked in, I couldn't help but shiver at how cold it was in the room. We just sat there for about two minutes before my name was called. "Amara Winters?" The lady called out. "Here," I said while raising my hand up. She gestured for me to come with her and wanja followed behind. She lead me to her room and I just sat on the really comfortable couch while wanja just sat next to me. The doctor came with her clipboard and just sat down infront of us. "So Amara, how are you?" She asked, "I'm fine, and you?" I asked and she responded with good "So why have you come here today?" She asked while glancing at her clipboard then back at me. I looked over at wanja and she gestured me to tell her. "Umm, I've been umm, I've been having these nightmares," I said while stuttering a bit. "Can you tell me about these nightmares?" She asked and I nodded. "Well, it starts off at me partying, getting up drunk and walking off somewhere. But then I feel the need to run into these....mysterious woods. It was like I was running from someone I guess and every time I turn around to see if anyone's following me, no one is, but once I turn back around, this man is just there....watching me." I say and she nods while writing some things on her clipboard "Explain this man, what does he do?" I sucked in a breath, snaps my neck "Umm, HES a lot of tattoos. He's got black hair, he looks devilish. And umm, he snaps my neck." She seemed to choke at the end of my statement. "Oh umm well studies show that if you dream about them often, then it means your thinking about them. Wrist case scenario, you want this man. He's your soul mate." She says and I scrunch yo my nose at the word soul mate "Noooo, I've never met this man before." "How often do you dream of him!" "Since I was like 18," I said while shrugging my shoulders "And you're turning 21 tomorrow so you must be pretty obsessed with this man," She says with a little chuckle with Wanja but I just stayed silent and sighed. "Well if your having trouble sleeping I suggest these..." She turns towards the back and grabs a plastic bag with a bottle filled with pills inside. "You know, just to help you sleep." I nodded and took them, thanking her afterward. We finished my session and boy can I say it didn't help one bit. "Amara, don't worry. Tomorrow, we will have the time of your life." She says while clapping and all I did was roll my eyes. "Yea where are we going anyways?" I asked and she rolled her eyes this time. "It's a surprise."
