Through Your Eyes

Mr.?

The birds were chirping. I opened my eyes slowly, my vision was blurry and was regaining its sight. I turned lazily around to view my alarm clock. What was the last thing I did? 2:30 its late in the afternoon. I scratched my head and stretched my legs. My grandpa use to tell me if you stretch everyday then you will soon grow. I was obsessed with being tall, and ever since then I have always stretched whenever I would wake up, but I still stayed short. I swung my legs around so that my feet barley touched the ground. I was still very dizzy. I stood up and headed slowly towards the kitchen. Oh, that's right! The professor was in my apartment. Well, that's something  that doesn't happened everyday. I grabbed a bottle of cold water. My mom should be home soon. I sat down on the couch and started to write my report. The doorknob rattled. My mom should be home now. I got up and went to open the door. No one seemed to be there, maybe it was my imagination. I went to go sit back down. The phone rang. I jumped and answered the phone. "Hello". "Honey, I am going to be a little late the expected, I kind of got hung up at work today. Do you think you can hold down the house until I get there?", "Of course mom", I answered. "Thanks hun. I hope to get home soon love you sweetie." She hung up. That was weird, maybe I should just go back to sleep for now. My eyes slowly started to close. Again, everything went black. 

I woke up it was completely black. I got up and scrambled, fumbling for the switch. I flicked it on. Its creepy without my mom here. There was a loud knock on the door. I walked slowly towards it. I opened the door. The lights went off. I felt a cold hand on my mouth. "Shhh...", said the voice. He giggled slightly. "There is nothing to  be afraid of honey," I struggled trying with all my might to get out of his hands. I could feel his slender and bony body pressing behind on my back with his arms wrapped around me. There was a black mist around me, a cold a eerie feeling. I saw something move quickly in the corner of the room. It had a long snake like body with legs, I could still feel the bony body against me. The lizard like monster snarled opening its mouth wide. It had rows and rows of tiny little jagged teeth. It screeched, saliva dripped down. A long sword came down in front of me slicing the lizards head off. "Whats your name?", I asked. "Mr.", he started saying. Everything went completely black, it was quiet. Then a huge gust of wind flew through out the apartment. Dishes broke everywhere and the windows blew outwards and the shattered glass went falling downwards. The lights went back on and everything was normal besides that the house was a terrible mess. 

What was that? The door opened. "Ellie! What the hell did you do to my favorite china! The windows! I said hold down the house! Not rip it up!." my mom said yelling. "Mom I didn't do any of this!" I yelled. I was still shaking. Was what I saw real or fake? "Ellie help me clean this up," she said in a stern voice. "Mom there was a huge lizard like creature with razor teeth and..." I stopped. I realized that I sounded completely psychotic. "Mom I'm sorry," I whispered. She didn't answer I swept up all of her favorite china that was completely in shards. She picked up the plain black phone and called downstairs. "Hello. I have a problem. All the windows in my room are broken. Mmmm. Okay. Well that's fine. Okay. Bye." she sounded stressed and she hung up. "Okay they are coming to fix it tomorrow. I am going to go to the store and grab some more dishes," she said. She left and closed the door. I held the shards in my hand and put them in a bag and put the on my bed. I would glue the back together somehow later. 

I grabbed a towel and a robe. I walked into the bathroom and locked the door behind me. I sat on the toilet seat while the warm water filled the white bathtub. I turned off the water and got into the bath. What a weird day. Who was that guy? What was that creature? Why could I see it? I took off my glasses and set them on the tub. I closed my eyes and relaxed. I am so confused. What was behind me? Why did he save me? Two things I was positive of: One was that creature was a guy. Two he saved my life. Two things that linger in my head: One, why could I see what I saw? Two, why did he save me. I wish I knew. I washed my hair and body. Wrapped it up in a towel and stepped out of the tub and drained the water. I put my blue fuzzy robe on and sat on my bed. I plopped down onto my bed  and fell asleep.
