I was walking along the aisle, hands in my pockets, earphones in and music blasting. I was in my own world and it seemed like people around me didn't exist. I'm a reserved person and at school I didn't talk to anyone. What can i say, that's who i am!.

After few minutes of walking, I arrived at home and a delicious smell grets me. So today, it's grandma who cooks. I take off my shoes and hang by bag on the hanger at the entrance.

--Grand ma! Auntie ! I'm back! I said loudly

--Finally you're here darling. Replied grandma .

Her voice rings from the kitchen. I walked in and find grandma setting the table . I go to give her a hug and asked her.

--Auntie isn't here yet? I asked curiosly

-- She won't be long but sit down I'll serve you. answered grandma with a reassuring tone.

Usually, she comes home from work at 6 p.m and now it's 8 p.m...weird. I even notice that grandma is hiding something because she behaves strangely and she's avoiding my gaz.

--Is everything ok grandma? I asked not very reassured

--Yes darling. Go eat! She said hastily.

I sit down and she serves me. I observe her trying to unseal something but nothing. So we started eating in silence. From time to time, she was asking questions like how was my day and all of that stuffs. Several minutes later, the door bang. Auntie just came back. I was about to get up to say hi to her but she didn't pay attention to us and she walked in to her room saying.

--I'm tired and I'm going to rest. Just keep my dinner in the fridge. She said without any emotions in her voice

And then, she locked up herself in her room. I turn my head to see grandma's expression but she didn't react.

--Grandma, auntie mindy seems not to be ok. I said worried

-- Don't worry , she might be tired. She answered sadly

She didn't even look at me but she was staring at her dinner sadly. Obviously, There is something wrong.

After washing dishes, grandma and I go to bed. Me , I didn't want to because since a certain period of time, I'm having horrible nightmares. I see beings, not looking like humans killing each other. I see blood everywhere. Corpes here and there. A real battle field So every time, I do my best to not fall asleep because I see myself in a world of horrors and slaughters.

I didn't talk to anyone about it because I don't want them to think I'm crazy. So I watch movies on my computer until the sunrise. And then, I prepare myself to go to school and after to work.

I'm ready to a sleepless night . When you have to go, you have to go!

Ahhhhh!!! I wake up suddenly, my heart beating at 100 km/h. I felt asleep without doing it on purpose. I had again a nightmare. My shirt was completely drenched in sweat. I get up from my bed and go take a shower. I look at myself in the mirror and notice horrible dark circles and red puffy eyes. I don't even remember the last time i had a good sleep night. I really look like a zombie.

After i dress up, I head towards the kitchen but I stop earing grandma and auntie arguing.

-- He wants to take Nyx with him Mama!! You realize?? Said auntie , her voice trembling.

-- I realize nothing Mindy. Since the beginning , we knew that he'll come back and you know as well as me that the necklace will not last long. Answered grandma , firm.
