There I was, floating. It felt like I was at least, in the void of my brain, in the dark. Suddenly I saw a woman, she was pretty and a man who was handsome but in the rough kind of way. He had a sense of firmness that made you feel like your implanted on the ground, and far from harm. The woman was happy, smiling and this man was holding her hand looking at her with a warmth I felt from miles away. But it shifted, cities in ruins, life turned upside down for them, wherever they went destruction followed, ploughing down everything in its path, razing homes to the ground. They ran and ran to find a peaceful place, but they couldn't seem to find one, then the man and woman looked right at me and said, 'it'll be okay'.

I woke up shivering, cold sweat on my back. My eyes were filled with tears, I couldn't help but feel like they were familiar, they had a life together and I saw it get destroyed right In front of me. Although this was the millionth time I saw this I always wondered why I did.

It seemed odd to me that I saw all this, was it the past? Or future? I didn't even know if it was real. Heck if it was, I'd pass out because I saw a bunch of non-logical stuff happening there.

I decided to forget about it and start my day. It was 1 am but who cares, I brushed my teeth and ate something [chocolate is very healing], and I went for a run outside...why? Because the outside makes me feel better. It always has.

Especially being under the moon and stars, I always got my best ideas under them.I ran back home, went upstairs, and collapsed on my bed. As I was tired after the run, I fell asleep.

I woke up to my alarm clock at 6:30 and got up without a fight for once, I got dressed went downstairs to get breakfast and go to college. Oh, I know you're thinking, college? How old was I? well I'm 16, yep, 16. A super smart 16-year-old who's in his 2nd year of college. I'm
fine with that, I don't have many
friends...actually I have none at all. I looked really different compared to other kids, I had black hair, but always had this weird dark blue colour at the same time and it always messy no matter what I did, brown eyes but they had a green tinge to them and copper skin which for some reason I always got bullied for it.

My ears were kind of pointy, enough to be named 'the elf' in our class (but I really don't think they are that bad). Another reason why I was bullied in school was that I was a big freak. Whenever I was upset the whole campus was in a dull mood, even the teachers. When I was happy, everything went really well. Even the teachers who were stressed and annoyed most of the time were really happy and chill. It was quite weird. The cherry on top was that I always heard these voices telling me things, but I couldn't always make them out. The two words I always heard were "safe and die", so that's extra creepy but I never told anyone for obvious reasons (not that I have anyone to tell it to). I also always wear a red earring and it had z on it. When I was adopted, they said that it was all I had left of my real family.

Anyway, I got dressed went downstairs where I was greeted by mom who was making my lunch. She's actually my foster mom but she's the only family I've ever had. She treats me like her own which I'm thankful for. "Good morning Kai! I've made your lunch for today". My mom was only 36. She had long brown hair, green eyes and she was always smiling. She got up, wore her white coat and her name tag that read 'Dr. Aurora, Pediatrics department'.  I gave her a hug 'hey mom, thanks.' And I went to college. We had a test which I didn't know about, but I aced it. I had lunch alone as usual, but it doesn't bother me anyway. It was a normal day. I came home, which was around 7, and mom texted me saying that she had a few more patients and wouldn't be able to come home tonight. She's a paediatrician and an awesome one if I do say so myself. So, I just made myself some dinner and I drank about 8 glasses of water which surprised me. I just did my homework and went to bed at around 10:30pm.
