In My Veins [Teen Wolf]

Chapter Two: Echo

You know when you're drowining you don't actually inhale until right before you black out. Its called Voluntary Apnea it's like no matter how much you're freaking out the instinct. To not let any water in is so strong, you wont open your mouth till you feel your head is exploding, but when you finally do let it in it stops hurting, it's not scary anymore, its actually kind of peaceful

I shot up out of bed, it happened again. The same dream. I can't get away, no matter where I go. Even if I'm not sleeping I still think about it. Its like a memory that will never fade, a memory that you can never stop thinking about even if someone was to compel you to stop thinking about it. It's a nightmare. Something I will have to live with forever. Its like every night when I close my eyes I relive my near death. It's like an echo. You know how when you scream in a loud place and what you scream echo's over and over again repeating itself. Me dreaming of this every night is an Echo.. My Echo.

I pushed the blanket from my body and stood up I looked at my hands blood coated them from the tips of my fingers and all of my forearm. I walked into my bathroom that connected to my bathroom, I looked in the mirror to see blood across my face and my hair a mess. I let out a pant and tears filled my eyes. I killed someone Was all that I remembered. I pulled off my clothes and threw them in the hamper, I started the shower and got in tears, fell from my face as the warm water collided with my blood stained skin.

I watched the shades of red fall from my skin into the water, memories quickly flooded my head. Of the water being colored red. I closed my eyes remembering back to 3 years ago.To that night. As the water began to fill my lungs, everything was peaceful. All I saw around me was specks of blood in the water. My blood I opened my eyes. Next thing I knew I was at the lake my 'mother' tried to drown me in. I looked around clutching my body, I fell back into the dirt as I watched my mom make her way toward me with a blade in her hand. She walked closer bringing the blade up I saw my reflection in it. I looked terrified. Thats when I screamed, like I never screamed before. I screamed..

"Adriana!" I heard a voice I looked up to see Allison above me her hands on my shoulders shaking me.

"A-allison?" I gasped tears flowing down my cheeks, she pulled me close not minding my nudeness.

"Are you okay? What happened?" She questioned rubbing my back, the water was turned off I just sat at the bottom of the tub with water surronding me.

"I-I... I just had a nightmare and I thought of it." I shook.. yet another lie. God dammit Adriana come out with it. Be like.. hey allison buddyio I'm a freaking werewolf and my mother tried to kill me 3 years ago I wiped the tears from my cheeks and looked at her.

"Heres a towel." She looked at me worringly and wrapped it around my shoulders, " Do you want to go to school? You don't have too." She said soothingly.

"No, no. I'm fine really. How much time do I have to get ready?" I stood up fully wrapping the towel around me. She crossed her arms and ran her fingers through her disheveled hair.

"about a hour, a little less. Are you sure? My dad would be fine with you staying home." I shook my head and fake smiled.

"Ally, I'm fine..really. I just scare easily." I shrugged, "Now let me get ready." I laughed and playfully shoved her from the bathroom.

"okay, okay." She smiled and walked to the door, "Hurry, you don't want to be late for your first day." She smiled and walked out.

I jumped off my bed while pulling up my pants. I landed on my feet and smiled, I buttoned my pants and walked infront of the body length mirror. My red lace bra looked bright against my black jeans, i tilted my head to the side and side smirked. I walked over to my closet and pulled out a red lace tanktop and slid it on, I smiled and walked over to my dresser and opened a drawer. I pulled out black socks and slid them on. I walked over to my closet and pulled out my closed toe heels. They were Ankle boots with a 5 inch heel. I slid them on and zipped them up from the side.
