From The Ashes, We Rise

SUNRISE

"(Y/n), it's going to be fine stay right here", a voice spoke to me as I just nodded, my body was shaking as I was afraid but I didn't know why. After a moment I hear some shuffling, and could hear some muffled voices, they were speaking about something but I could barely make out what they were saying, "I want out, simple as that", a familiar voice spoke out. This was followed by someone laughing their voice was deep as they sounded like they had heard one of the funniest joke on earth. "I'm serious Clyde, I'm done", the first voice spoke as I could hear the other person stop laughing, before speaking their tone serious, "Oh I don't think you understand, you don't leave on your own freewill, I own you", the voice spoke a little bit annoyed. "Watch me, now get out of here before I call the cops", the first voice spoke up again annoyed, as I could hear the other person growling clearly annoyed by this reaction, and I was still shaking worried about what was going on, who was he talking to, what is he angry? I just don't understan-

BANG

I immediately sat up in bed, my heart was pounding in my chest as I could feel sweat running down my body, I was panting rapidly and I was shaking. I felt like throwing up, but I looked around the room realizing that I was in my bedroom, taking a breath I tried calming myself, realizing that it was all just a dream, and I kept telling myself that but that sound I could still hear it ringing inside of my head never letting me forget. Shaking my head, I try to think back to last night, remembering all that happened, was that also a dream? I think back to it and it did make sense as some really crazy shit happened. I hadn't been getting enough sleep recently, it was probably just my mind pulling a fast one on me, yeah that was it, although it did feel really real I could've sworn I felt the heat from the flames. Pushing that aside, I get out of bed and did some stretches for a bit, and stopped after I heard a very satisfying pop coming from my back. Nodding to myself, I exit out of my room heading straight to the restroom, still thinking about last night it all felt real, and now that I think about it where was dad's leather jacket? I could've sworn I went to sleep with it on, and now that I think about it when did I cover myself with the sheets I could've sworn I just fell asleep on my mattress?

And that's when I noticed it, an odd smell that I didn't even realize was there was lingering in the air. It had an oddly appetizing scent to it, but why was it there exiting the restroom I followed where the smell was coming from, and headed downstairs and I could hear what sounded like metal clanging against each other. Picking up a wrench, I proceeded with caution as I approached the kitchen, I stood in front of the door a lump in my throat as I was afraid what could be on the other side. Taking a deep breath to collect myself, I fling the door open, "AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!", I screamed out which got a response, "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!", a high pitched scream was let out.

There she was, standing there completely startled by my appearance as she stood there wearing an apron over her outfit, a bowl in front of her, with a whisk in her hand which she flung in the air in surprise. It flew up in the air before coming back down and smacking her on her head, as I just stood there blinking in both shock and surprise. "Owwwww", she let's out rubbing the back of her head, before an annoyed look was placed on her face, "What the hell was that for?!?!", she asked clearly annoyed. I just stood there in shock as I did not expect to see her here, "Y-you're here? You're real?", I asked as she crosses her arms a pout on her face, "Of course I'm real!! Why wouldn't I be?!?!", Kiara responds to me clearly insulted that I didn't believe she was real.

Still not believe that this was even real, I then attempt to smack myself in the face with the wrench, "AHHHH WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!", she screams out as she lungs at me stopping me from doing that.  "Are you crazy?! Why would you do that?!", she yells out as she's trying to wrestle the wrench from me, as we crashed into the ground at this point now I'm starting to think that this might not be a dream anymore as she felt pretty real and definitely felt a bit heavy. That's when I realized that this wasn't a dream, and that there was a random woman in my house which sent a whole different amount of fear in my body, and this chick was pretty strong too as she managed to rip my wrench out of my hand and fling it somewhere random in the the kitchen, I could hear it crash into some as she sat on top of me a grin on her face.
