Illusion of my dreams

Genie trapped in a bottle

I stood infront of the large mirror, looking at my soaked shirt. The soft fabric had absorbed all the blood that escaped my body when I got shot. Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at the shirt, wishing that it never happened, wishing that Tom would've chosen me.

My eyes trailed around my body, shivers running down my spine whilst I stared at my reflection. Dark circles had formed under my eyes from the long sleepless nights and my nails had grown brittle from the amount of times I bit them.

Anxiety had taken over my body and I started to think I was going insane. I quickly blinked one of the burning tears away before stepping away from the mirror. I looked around the room, scanning every tiny corner. Suddenly Chiyo's hoarse voice echoed trough the house. I flinched at his strong voice and quickly ran out of my new room. Chiyo was gathering everyone downstairs so I hurried down the endless large stairs, trailing my fingers over the wall whilst I did so. I arrived downstairs and met eyes with Chiyo who was looking extremely cheerful today. He had a big smile plastered on his pale face and he was holding a glass filled with sweet scenting liquid. I sat down on the grey couch that was facing Chiyo together with Osuke and the others. We impatiently stared at Chiyo who grunted before speaking. " Dia, I have good news for you."

He started, smirking before gently putting his glass down onto the counter next to him.

" you can get your revenge."

Chiyo explained whilst maintaining eyecontact with me. I rose my brows with confusion as I tried understanding his new project.

" you will kill them."

My heart sunk and I felt sick to my stomach.

" what?"

I asked, my voice dazed as I did so.

Chiyo looked at me, surprised.

" isn't that what you wanted all along?"

He asked me whilst walking towards me.

Chiyo sat down next to me and patted my thigh with comfort. He sighed before talking again.

" you will kill Tom. He deserves it."

He said.

I anxiously glanced into his chocolate eyes and my stomach squirmed with fear.

" I will give you everything you need to kill him, don't worry dear."

He smirked as he stroked my stained cheek.

I flinched at his cold fingers and Chiyo just stood up. " I will send Osuke to fetch some information and then we'll talk, alright?"

He asked me, his eyes narrowing.

I quickly nodded. Osuke instantly jumped off the couch and made his way towards the frontdoor. I managed to stand up as well. Chiyo accompanied me upstairs, his arm around my waist whilst he helped me up. We entered his bedroom and we sat down on the edge of his freshly washed bed.

" so.."

he started, trying to kill the silence that had been invading the room.

" when would you like to kill them?"

He asked.

I stared at the floor, my heart beating trough my chest as I thought about Chiyo's new idea.

" I don't know."

I managed to get out.

Chiyo rubbed his head whilst glaring at the wall infront of us. The cold light of the ornated lamp was shining onto our skin as we made plans.
