Once in a Red Moon

Chapter 6

Thanks to Brooke_Storm I have finally got back to writing this story. Make sure to go to her profile and read "Beautiful Poison" it is amazing! She's a very talented writer and you guys will surely feel the same way when you read her book!❤️ Sorry it's been awhile but I promise not to give up on you guys!

I woke up feeling like someone was bashing my head with a hammer. I tried to breathe but all I could get were small gulps of air.

I started counting, it always relaxes me. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10.

I managed to calm myself down and look at the clock beside my bed.

3am. Great. Just fantastic.

I stared at the ceiling for a moment before I got an eerie feeling.

Why do I feel like I'm being watched?
I look around my room, determined to find the source of my uneasiness. I looked around, checking every corner and crevice, and saw nothing. I slowly sat up and crept my fingers towards my lamp. If someone was here I didn't want to spook them before I caught them in the act.

I flipped on my lamp waiting to catch this mysterious person when all I saw was an empty room.

Maybe it was all in my head? I did have a pretty rough day..

Ignoring my gut, I turned my light off and rolled over on my side. Blocking out my creepy thoughts and tried to focus on falling asleep.

My eyes grew heavy and right before I slipped into darkness I heard a faint voice," Sweet dreams my little Adeline." It sent shivers down my spine and I could've swore I've heard it before. But before I could move the darkness consumed me.

I woke up feeling refreshed. Maybe today will be a better day? I hoped. I slowly got out of bed and made my way towards my bathroom. I know I should think positive about today but I still can't shake this creepy feeling in my gut. Why did I feel like someone was watching me last night? And why do I feel like something bad is going to happen to me?

I look at my bathroom mirror and complete my morning ritual.

"My name is Adeline Hail. I am a wonderful person and I am beautiful inside and out. I am 17 and I go to Clintwood High School. People care about me and I care about them. Today is gonna be a great day."

Expecting to find the same pale girl looking at me with blotches of skin, I was surprised. I had to do a double take. Today my face looked even in color, almost like a light tan.

I smiled and truly hoped today would be a good day.

Surprisingly apart of me believed it too.
After finishing my ritual I take a long hot shower. It always manages to help me think clearly.

What am I gonna do about Lyke? I know he doesn't like me, but why was he acting like he cared about me yesterday? I feel this sort of draw towards him and I don't know why. It seems like I just want to stay in his arms. Every time I see him I just want to run into his big arms and kiss him until we both run out of breathe.

As soon as I try to think more about the subject the water turns ice cold and immediately grabs my attention to let me know it's time to get out of the shower.

I walk out feeling somewhat better and throw on a comfortable outfit. Every once in awhile I'll dress "modern" but not everybody has the money to dress "normal" nowadays. Especially if you're a High Schooler living on your own.

I look down at my favorite Hucks hoodie and black sweatpants and smile.

Now to deal with my hair. Yay. Usually I'd leave it down and just leave my waves alone but I decided today just to put it in a bun. Out of my face and out of my mind. Just like all this bad nonsense.

I walk out of my room and to the kitchen. I quickly grab a granola bar and a water before I make my way out the door. Kissing truffles before I leave.

"I love you, little fur ball." I coo. He just  rubs against me in response.

I turn back and smile. Home. Even though I may physically be alone, other than truffles of course, I know that I'm not. And with that, I left to go to school.

Sorry if this isn't the best guys but I promise things are about to get interesting soon😄 I have a surprise in store.
