-Hey- Christian was on top of her in her house, in her room, below the sheets of her bed. The objects and furniture of her room were mixed up and deformed. Even though, the tulip was at the same spot. He woke up her in the middle of the night with a soft and sweet kiss. Sparkles came back. He bit her lip as a petition to enter inside her mouth. For an instant, she didn’t mind and she accepted his wild tongue to come inside. Moans and gasps were heard inside of her room. It was a cold night, therefore, their skins kept each other closer than ever. Christian warmth’s body fired up hers.Emma hold strongly Christian’s hair to keep the balance from all the harsh moves of the other body: passionate kisses, warm cuddles and rude touches, specially, inside Emma’s thigh. He touched all over her body, inch per inch of her fragile doll body. Except one spot.

“Stop, stop, stop, stop….” She couldn’t do anything; she was being hold by an invisible force. It was like being pulled by hundreds of hands to the bed and they let Christian do anything he wanted.

Few seconds later she saw a bulge, a big bulge. That thing. She felt it, on top of her. She arched her back as a reaction. He was about to unbutton his pants when:

-Hey- Christian hugged her hard and wildly, now they were in one of the hallways of the academy. He was celebrating something. She didn’t understand. Then, she stared next to her a big billboard with color sheets attached to it. She saw few names like Julie, James, Elliot and other names, but not Ema. She dropped her gaze to the floor, with that, Christian lifted up her chin and pointed another sheet. It was a yellow sheet. It said Emma and next to that few words more. She couldn’t understand those words. Suddenly she felt the headache coming back, but this time it was like a bullet shot.

She opened her eyes and came back to reality.

It was another nightmare.

“All this time was just a huge dream. But it felt so…real” She didn’t understand it and the only thing she could do was blame the headaches.

“What about yesterday?  Was it a dream too?”

“It could be…”

Today was Thursday, it was 4 am, but Emma decided to get up from her bed already since she wanted to practice before the class started. She took a shower and she quickly put all her clothes and prepared her bag. She poked her head out her room, searching trace of her mom but it looked like she was sleeping.

Silently, she got out of the room and walked through the dark hallway. None of the lights were on, and besides of how early it was, the season was winter.

That morning she felt very hungry so she had no other choice but to eat. She grabbed a cracker from the kitchen and before she got out of the house, she looked at herself in the mirror for a moment.

“I’m really ugly today, I can’t be ugly if I want to be Odette” she had big dark circles under her eyes, because of the lack of sleep. She quickly went to her room and looked for some makeup to cover it.

When she returned and looked in the mirror again, she saw something strange.

There were some fresh scratches in her left collarbone. “This wasn’t here a minute ago”.

She started to scratch it till it came out a little blood, she felt a little horrified but decided to ignore it “I don’t have time”.

Applying some makeup in her whole face, she got out of her house really fast.
