I Am Reapers Daughter

3: Ceres: Future?

That night I laid in bed sleeping. I rolled to my side, then to my back and so on. I couldn't sleep, I didn't know why. Finally, I got comfortable enough to fall into a deep sleep. And as I slept, I began to dream. My dream was strange.

It was like I was floating. Opening my eyes, I saw red and darkness. Well not dark, but it may as well be darkness. All around I saw red and chaos. Lots of destruction. Buildings where burning, some where in ruins. Technology everything was in ruin. It was horrible, I could see bodies around. I so wanted to wake up, like right now. It was so awful, this dream I hated it. I wanted to leave this dream. I crouched down and cover my face. I began to count. Maybe that way I'll wake up. But it was no help at all until the ground started to rumble. Looking up I saw everything begin to change. It was like someone press the rewind button. Now everything was back to how it was before it got destroy. And I recognize this place. It was my home, my hometown. My school, places I had gone to, and my home. My house. But why was it destroy? This didn't make any sense at all. People where slowly began to appear. Ordinary people were walking around, doing their daily routine. Everything seem so slow though. Frowning I walked around, I know this is a dream. But it felt so real to me. I ran to my home, once there the front door was. Mother never leaves the door open, ever. Walking over to the front door, I stood outside for a second before going in. It was silence. Not a single sound. Come to think of it, while in town I didn't hear anyone, strange.

'Mother?' I called out. 'Anyone home?'

Silence.

Where is everyone? I looked upstairs; it was too quiet, then I saw a bright light in the kitchen. So I headed that way as I got closer I could hear some cracking. Not just any cracking, like in those movies. Where there's a monster or something, and it twists around. Like bone cracking. It was so, irritating made the hairs on my arm stand up. I felt goosebumps just hearing it. I'm sure if you all heard it, you'd feel the same way. Anyways I go closer and pushes the door open gently. And I saw mom; she was standing there with her back turn to me.

'Mom?'

I made my way over and I felt my heartbeat speed up, my breath was uneven. Reaching over I placed my hand over her right shoulder. She turned slowly. At least I thought she turned. But it was her head that turned. And this wasn't my mom. Wasn't even a female at all. Or was it. Didn't matter I ran out the back door and I was back to where I started. Where I began my dream. And again the ground rumble. It shook more violently. This time I could hear people screaming and running. I could listen to buildings falling, the metal bending and creaking. It was horrible. People getting crush, falling into cracks on the floor. It was too awful; I wanted to wake up so badly. Tears ran down my eyes. So much blood. A person ran past me and as they did. A metal back went through his forehead and out the back of his head. Right own front of me. And I felt the blood splatter on me. The ground kept shaking it. All around me was chaos. I saw people get killed. The ground turn red from all the blood. The sky red from the burning buildings. Smoke everywhere. Than I saw hooded people. They walked around like nothing. Like all this was normal for them. One stopped and turn it's head to me. The eyes glow red. It walked toward me. The closer it got the better I saw them. It was a he. Just by it posture. And now that I can see him better his cloak looked misty. Like it was just floating around him. I didn't fear him at all. I wanted to go to him and hug him. It was a strange feeling. Now that he was in front of me. I saw he was all bones.

Then I knew, he was a reaper. Is that why I felt safe? Because he was like my father, he reached over and touched my cheek.

'Wake up..' he said. 'Ceres wake up. You shouldn't see this. Why do you see this?' If I knew, I would've had told him.

'Wake up now...this isn't the future I wish for you to see, go back.'

'I can't wake up, I tried..' I cried. 'I don't want to see this anymore. Make me wake up, please...'

'It's okay...I'll help you, sweetie,' he hugged me. And I couldn't help but let him. I felt safe in his arms. 'Close your eyes Ceres and before you go. Please stay away from Blake..'

I gasped and woke up Omar was hovering over me. "Hey, thank god your okay," he said and hugged me. I hugged him back and held on to him. I looked at the clock, 2 in the morning.

"It was so, horrible," I sobbed.

"Shh shh it's okay sweetie," he said. "It was just a nightmare."

"Hey what happened?" Kenny ran in.

"Uncle Kenny," he walked over and sat down next to me. "Omar go get her water I'll stay with her." Omar nodded and left. Kenny sighed. "Your mother is coming home tomorrow with the baby."

"Okay," I leaned against him. I asked him to stay with me until I can fall asleep. He did. He stayed with me until I fell back to sleep. This time I didn't dream at all. It was peaceful.

But then I began to dream again, about that man. He was there standing over me as I slept under a tree. He was staring. Like he was watching out for me. I know him. I have seen him. Then his appearance changed, into a human. I recognize his face. But from where. I wanted to ask him. But I felt sleepy. Can one feel sleepy in a dream? Maybe my mind was so exhausted, that I couldn't dream. Or couldn't think. Didn't matter I just wanted to sleep. And I never wanted to have that horrible dream.

Wait, how did he know my name? Now that I think of it, he knew my name. So he must know me as I must know him. I was so, confused. All my thoughts where scramble. A nice rest should do.

I wonder who he was. And why doesn't he want me to see Blake? He doesn't have to tell me twice. Blake is terrible I know that. Like hell would I hang out with him even though he stalks me. I barely pay any attention to him.

I'll deal with him somehow. There's nothing he can do to make me hang out with him, nothing. Gosh, I hope I didn't jinx myself.

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

So like almost all my stories, I apologize for the errors and horrible grammar. I'll do my best to fix it later on. And I don't mind being corrected.

But to be corrected like a lot and being told over and over that I have a bunch of errors tends to get annoying and on my nerve. So yeah, please don't keep on mentioning it. I know I have mistakes, and I'll fix it in due time.

Thank you.
