Deadly Desire In Midnight City

Chapter 7 Who To Trust

I feel completely hopeless. Everything is dark all around me. To top it all off, I'm freezing.

There's a very strong pain in my wrist, and I feel light headed. Suddenly, I see something shining from a far. I walk towards it with my curiosity piqued.

When I reach the object, I realize it's a full body mirror. But what shocks me is the reflection.

It's a younger version of me..

My brown eyes widen at the sight. I am in a pair of old, dark jeans and a faded, blue shirt. My hair is short, but still scruffy enough to fall in front of my forehead.

The next thing that catches my attention makes me want to throw up. Blood is oozing out of the scar on my wrist. I instantly freak out, having a difficult time breathing.

"No! Stop! Why am I bleeding?" I shout, noticing my voice has completely changed.

I sound like a small, lost child.

But I guess I am..?

What's happened to me? Where am I?

I slip my shirt off of my head and wrap it around my wrist. The cut is beginning to sting, but there's too much blood dripping. I can feel myself growing nauseous.

I don't understand what has happened to me. Have I miraculously gone back in time? No.. That's unfeasible. Isn't it?

Fuck!

I squeeze my temples with intense pressure. I feel as if my head may explode.

All of a sudden, I hear a voice in the distance.

I can't make out who it is, or what they said. But it sounded like a woman.

Then I hear it again.

"Stay away from him!"

It was a scream, and this time I'm sure it was a woman.

The voice sounds so familiar..

I she in trouble?

I begin to hear footsteps pounding on the floor and her voice becoming clearer.

"HE'S MINE JOSHUA! YOU CANNOT HAVE HIM!"

What the.. ?

I begin to see a woman running in the distance. She's coming at me.. Reaching her hands out and crying. I can't help but want to run up to her myself. To have her catch me in her arms.

She's wearing a flower pattern dress, full of different colors and her hair is extremely long and light brown. She is tanned, but only a light shade of it with soft, light brown eyes.

I take a look at her wrist and see a Lunar tattoo. It makes me pity her.

Is she running away from a Solar?

"Honey come to me, don't run away from mommy, I'll keep you safe this time, I promise!" She says while looking directly at me.

Have I gone insane? She said mommy.. I don't have a mother. I don't understand..

Please.. Take me back to reality, I'm begging...

PLEASE!

I feel something moving on the bed and it awakens me. My eyes feel blurry from my slumber, but I manage to rub them clean. I sit up and look to my side, only to notice Nate is tossing and turning on his bedside. He keeps screaming and mumbling something under his breath.
