                 Chapter 3: The Omen.

   It's the middle of the night and you feel pretty content with life. You've managed to get your life around, have a good job doing good work that matters, and you've got a great friend in Jill. Though the moment you think of Jill, you smile even more and actually giggle. How you've managed to get close these past 2 months. Feels like a dream. You turn to your side hugging your pillow. Drifting into slumber. The fuzzy feeling of warmth and happiness is suddenly swept away by a dark omen.

    A voice in your head echoing. "It's all fine now..." The voice getting deeper and ragged like a broken radio speaker. The muffled speech coming closer to you. "But what happens when they find out about you?" The humming gets louder, and louder! "You're a monster..." "Soon they will REJECT YOU!" You start to run but can't make the distance. You breathe heavily and start to feel your heartbeat faster and faster! Sweat comes down your face until your turned around by your shoulder forcefully by the voices hand. You jerk to face it against your will and there you see its face. It's you. Your face with hollow lifeless eyes, mangled body and ragged hair. It's the part of you you try to hide from everyone you love and care for. No words can describe the horrors you've thought and hoped for, all the anger, pain, and malice. Born from deep within you. Writhing and gnawing to be set free to wreak havoc across the city. It begins to laugh as you show fear at its face. "TrUly YoU cAn'T hAvE fOrGoTtEn Me!?¿¡" It starts to stalk you in a circle, laughing. As if it is laughing at the facade you think is the real you. "YoU cAn'T rUn FrOm Me." "YoU cAn't HiDe FrOm Me." "I aM yOu As YoU aRe Me!" You try to move but you look down to see your entangled by darkness. You tell it to leave you alone and to shut up. But as you shout your demands, it grabs your chin and only smiles. "YoU'rE sCaReD." It grips you tighter and sticks its hand into your chest with great force. Its hand gripping your heart. Slowly squeezing it. It's blackened warped fingers digging deeper into you. You feel the tears rush from your eyes and feel the pain becoming unbearable. The only thought in your mind is wanting it to end. It comes closer to your face as it begins to whisper "AnD sOoN sHe WiLl ToO..."

   You wake up in a cold sweat. Your body shaking as you feel your body as if trying to clear something away. You grab at your chest to feel your heart. Thankfully you don't feel anything. But you have the strange sense to check your chest anyway. You move your shirt and check. There you see nothing. Thankful, you get up from bed only to be met with a knock on the door. It startles you even more awake and you take a moment to get off the bed. Wiping the sweat from your face you hear the doorbell go off. You then get up and make your way to the door. As you open it, with irritation. You realize it was Jill. Jill asks "I'm sorry for bothering you so early, but I was just wondering if you wer-" but before she finished her concerned request. She looks down to see you in your underwear with a small white blouse on. Of course you were too preoccupied with your nightmare to have realized fully the door is wide open. So you immediately get embarrassed and almost slam the door on her face. Thankfully Jill stops the door with her boot and snaps out of it. She then reiterates her concern. "Look I came to check on you, I heard you screaming last night and wanted to check and see if you were okay." "I tried last night but I got no response." You shake your head saying that you were fine and that she shouldn't worry about it. Brushing it aside however Jill just wanted to let you know about her next assignment. And how she will be gone for a couple of months. Upon hearing this you feel incredibly sad. Though you try not to let it be obvious. You let her know that you'll miss her and Jill only blushes as she takes your compliment. Before long she leaves you to put your clothes on and gets back to packing her things. Though as she leaves you cannot help but feel the distance is only the beginning of something bad.

   Thankfully you continue on with your day and make breakfast. As you make a bowl of cereal you get a call from work. The caller ID is new so you aren't sure who's calling specifically. Answering the phone, you ask who it is. Strangely enough the voice on the other line sounded familiar. "Hi this is Claire Redfield calling." She then explains she is looking to speak with you specifically. You answer back confirming it is the correct number. "Great." Claire then asks if you and her could meet up somewhere to chat. You tell her about the coffee shop nearby and you both agree to meet up there. After finishing up breakfast you go to take a shower and get dressed to meet up Claire.

       Thus ends Chapter 3: The Omen.
