Chapter 7: These Dreams Before Me Pt. 2

"I'm not afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of what I'll find in the dark."

"I loved you at your darkest." - Romans 5:8

Will you love me at mine?

Avery

As I slowly turned my head, I wasn't afraid of who it was. I was afraid of what I wasn't ready to believe. Everyone says if you believe the impossible, the odds the impossible will happen. Her jet black hair covered her face, she was pale, and her hair seemed longer, few bruises similar to mine. "How are you here." I asked breathing heavily.

I hovered over my pillow as I looked at the door. I got up and went into the bathroom to look into the mirror which seemed to appear that my hair was messy. Avery always seemed to like it for some reason. I started to run the water in the sink as I brushed my teeth and then washed my face. After doing that, I went past the living room into the kitchen as I hovered over boxes of cereals. I immediately grabbed the Cap'n Crunch and grabbed the milk out of the fridge, followed by a bowl and spoon as I placed the milk back in the fridge and proceeded to eat. I took two spoonfuls of my cereal and then carried my bowl onto the couch to watch tv.   ~*~  Avery She smirked, "It's like you don't know me." She replied. I started to back up as she followed me. "I thought I'd be the first to lose it." She said chuckling a bit. "Lose what?" I screamed. She continued smiling, "Do you really think I'm alive?" She asked. "Well I know I'm not dreaming." I replied, she sighed in disagreement. "Are you sure about that?" She asked.

"Monsters are real. Ghosts are real, too. They live inside of us...And sometimes they win."

"So your dead?" I asked with precaution. I've gone mad, insane. Probably two feet away from a being placed in an insane asylum. I was confused, yet in a daze. "It's not safe, Avery." She whispered softly. "Like I would trust you." I muttered. "He's not who you think he is. He has secrets, deep dark secrets that can kill you inside and out." She replied. "Can you handle that?" She asked as I my eyes started to flutter open. I felt a bit unconscious but yet I was awake. My eyes were heavy, tired even. I'm flat on the ground, dirt on my face and a few scratches. I saw a dark figure; someone with jet black hair with a pale face and a bit skinny. The person slightly turned their face back and then continued walking. I slowly got up and grasped onto a tree as I started moving my legs forward. Whoever it was, I knew I wasn't dreaming, I wasn't alone. I was with someone. Did I know who it was, no. But I knew that this person, knew exactly what was going on.

"Ah, your up." Liam said walking into the living room and took a seat on the other couch across from the one I was sitting on. "Yeah." I replied and placed the empty cereal bowl on the table. "I have something for you to do today." He replied as I looked up at him. "What's it about?" I asked as he handed me some papers. "His name's Daniel, most people call him-" He said when I cut him off, "I know him." I replied. "You do, don't you?" He asked smiling a bit. "So this should be easy for you, I'm hoping?" Liam asked. Daniel wasn't always the easy type, he's different, more cunning. "Yeah, easy." I replied as I placed the papers on the table. "I'm going to take a shower." Liam said while getting up and walked away. Ralph was gone, he didn't say much, just something about he'll be gone for a few days and don't worry about him. I reached over to grab my phone, which appeared to be a text message. 'She's gone.'
