I'm in my room as I twirl my spaghetti around my fork as the thought dawns on me. I can'tdie. In other situations I would be jumping with joy but in this case its worst thing that can happen now, wait no I'm lying theres worse things. An unknown warmth is on my top lip, I rub what ever it is off with the back of my hand. I bring up my hand to my eyes to see what it was. I stare at the black liquid substance on my hand, I feel more warmth and it soon begins to drip. I catch the droplets with my hands. My hands now covered with the black liquid substance I feel the same warmth on the top of my cheeks. I lift my hands to feel it, Its coming from my eyes. I feel it sliding down my cheek and falling into my mouth. I spit it out, and get up and run to the bathroom.

I catch a glimpse of what I look like in the mirror, the black stuff are streaming out of my eyes and nose. I turn the tap on and wash my face. I lift my head and look at myself in the mirror, my eyes are black. I rub my eyes, upon opening them I see that they are back to normal. I sigh and walk to the door, I try opening it but it can't open. I take a deep breath and slide down the door exhaling.

"What now?" I say as I bury my head into my hands. There is an eery silence until the lights bursts. "What a show starter" I say rolling my eyes and resting my head against the door. I hear a tapping sound on the window, I focus my eyes towards it and see a raven pecking on the window. One crack, two cracks, three cracks. It keeps spreading until the glass shatters, a strong and forceful wind escaping it. "Again with the wind, come on" I chuckle. The wind blows a pair of tweezers in my direction, hitting my arm. I wince in pain and take it out. My skin healing itself.

I get up and stumble backwards from the wind. The wind dies down. "oh so you wanted me to stand up for this, this seems important" I say standing patiently. I know it's probably not the best idea to taunt something so dangerous but honestly by now I know that the evil feeds off fear.

The raven that was sitting on the end of the sink fly's towards me and sits on my shoulder, its claws digging into my skin. I try to get it off me but it's claws just keep digging deeper. I stand still.

"Well what now, your little raven over here is hurting me"

As the words leave my mouth, it bites my neck. I scream in agony as its teeth go deeper and deeper until I feel what I assume is blood going down my neck. I grab it by its wings and throw it out the window. Once its gone the door swings open. I place my hand on my neck, rubbing the spot where I got bitten. I walk out the room and look at the bite in the mirror. It hasn't healed, that's strange but it doesn't hurt. I flop down on my bed, as soon as my head hits the soft cold pillow I fall asleep

*the next day*

I walk down the busy hall of my school trying to avoid any eye contact with anyone. I reach my locker, I twist the lock entering my code. With a click I open it. I grab my books and shut the it. I turn my head and see someone staring at me. I let out a small squeak and drop one of my books.

"What the hell man, you scared the hell out me!", I say as I bend down to pick up my book, my heart beating a million times faster than before. I look ahead of me and see who ever it was walking away from me. For a second he looked like Hunter from the back but I pushed the thought away and walked to my class.

I sit at my usual seat at the window, the class is filled with the loud voices of the students. The teacher hasn't shown up yet. I sigh and look out the window, the playground swing swinging with the wind outside. Memories flow back of when me and my family always used to go out to the park. I would run around like a mad child and then my dad would throw me up in the air. When my mom would push me to go higher and higher on the swing. I missed those days, considering everything that has happened. Finding out the girl who has tormented me in my dreams is my sister. What blissful memories.

The teacher appears in the doorway after 5 minutes of the other kids throwing my with paper at the back of my head.

"Okay class, please take your seats and open your textbooks to page 154. I would like you to do Exercise 4.9 Q 1-20, if you don't finish it becomes homework"

Moans and groans pass through class as they take out their books. I start working on it.

Moments pass and I hear a tapping on the window, I turn my head to find a raven pecking on the window. I shoo it away by tapping on the window with my pen. After a while it comes back and continues pecking on the window. I groan and tap the window with my pen it goes away but comes back after a while. This continues until the end of class. As soon as the bell rings, I gather up my books and rush out the class to my locker. Once I reach it I put my books away and get my lunch. I shut it and as I turn around and walk straight, I hit some type of hard thing that smells nice. Wait a second a wall doesn't smell nice, it doesn't even smell like anything. I slowly lift my head to find the same that snuck up on me this morning. He has a frown glued to his face.

"Can't you watch where your going gee?!" He scowl. As the words leave his mouth my jaw drops to the ground.

"Says the one who was stalking me this morning", I stated as a confused face appears on his face. Rolling my eyes I explain to him what happened. Once I'm finished he just bursts out laughing, now I'm confused.

"What's so funny?!" Hearing this he just laughed louder. Sighing I wait for him to sober up. Once he has I raise both my eyebrows waiting for an explanation.

"It's so cute how you make up things just for attention, and for your information why the hell would I even consider to stalk someone like you", with that said he slams his locker shut which just happens to be next to mine and walks away.

I run my hands down my face in frustration. I can't do this anymore, it's too much for a 18-year-old. But one thought keeps repeating in my head, I try to push it away but it always keeps coming back.

Was that really Hunter I saw, is he still alive?

--------------------------------------

Once lunch was over I went to my biology class. It was a new teacher so that means we get new partners.

Just great...

I walk into class and take the window seat. As the teacher walks in, the Raven sits at the window sill. Ugh this stupid bird again. Ignoring it I listen to the teacher tell everyone who their partners are. When he says my name I listen carefully

"Nicole and Parker"

Who in holy hell is Parker?
Getting up I look for my unknown partner. Everyone is already sitting with their partner except one guy in the back of the class, slumping in his chair spinning a pen in his hands. Walking closer I realize it's the guy from lunch . Kill me now.

I take a seat next to him. He notices and looks in my direction. " ugh you"

"Ditto" I retort with a nice fake smile. He just rolls his eyes. I huff and look ahead. This is gonna be a long year.

The rest of the lesson the teacher told us to bond with our partner. While everyone was chatting happily to their partner, we on the other hand haven't spoken a word. But there was still one question I wanted to ask him. Not being able to keep my mouth shut, the words leave my mouth

"Can I ask you a question?"
"That is a question dumbass", he retorts, rolling his eyes
"Well than smart ass I take that as a yes" I wink at him. Which makes him more irritated.
"Whatever" he replies flatly
"What did you mean when you said you wont stalk someone like me. Like what exactly?"

" oh you know the perfect people, gets whatever they want. I don't see the reason cause their lives are so boring", I scoff at his words nodding my head slightly.

"Okay then, think what you want but my life is not even nearly as good as you think it is"

"Well then tell me about it ?"
" I don't feel like wasting my voice on you" I retort. He scoffs at my words.
"Like wise, why would I, I mean look at you" I open my mouth to say something but the bell rings. I got out faster than you can say 'asshole'
