Zayope chronicles

Chapter 1

I was rolling back and forth to get some sleep but for some reason my eyes couldn't close. I didn't notice the windows slightly opened so I jumped up from my bed to close it. I silently walked towards the window and forced my hands on the metal knob to close it.

It has been a week since I last slept in peace. I kept seeing a dream again and again and it was always the same. I always saw a handsome boy... I didn't know who he was in real life but in my dreams,it felt like I've known him for years.

He always hugged me, kissed me, cuddled me with his comfy hands, told me stories and many more. But after a while he always turned to a deadly beast and always said the same thing.

"Hope run"

After that I always wake up soaked in my own sweat.

I live with my aunt and her husband. My parents were killed in a car accident 2 years ago. I was in that car with them too but at that time I didn't  recall much from the whole tragedy  except for  some unfitting blank pieces of it. It all became clear as time passed by and I remembered everything that happened.

I'll never forget that my mom was fighting with my dad a lot because of a letter a person sent her.

I was at the backseat yelling and crying for them to stop but my mom seemed to angry to be distracted by my voice.
And then I saw somebody next to me, perhaps a ghost since it happened to appear out of nowhere.

He held my hands and whispered "Don't worry Hope,everything is going to be okay."

I was a little confused at that time so I remember asking him back, "Mister who are you and why are you saying everything is going to be ok? Is something wrong? If it is trust me,you can-"

"Hope close your eyes." he ordered almost yelling at me. My heart started pounding hard  inside my chest.

"why whats going on?" Was all I could manage to reply with my guts.

"I said close your eyes now." He shouted wrapping his arms all over my shoulders and throwing his long Batman like gown all over my face  to prevent me from seeing anything.

I was scared and confused at the same time but I managed to close my eyes.

And the next thing I knew, I was lying on some place naked. I really didn't know what happened with my clothes. Perhaps I was robbed by the psychotic people that take others clothes for them to wear or sell it. Either ways, it benefitted them and no one else  so they're still guilty.

My auntie came to me and wrapped her coat all over my body.

I didn't know how she came or how she knew I would be there so I raised a question. My mouth just started talking really fast.

"Why are you here? How did you know I was here? Where did mom and dad go,did they send you here? If so-"

"shhhh." she replied in a low yet enough for me to hear  voice.

"Hope,from now on you'll be living with me ok."

Is she kidding?

"But why? There is no school break in this semester aunt. I cant just quiet learning and come be with you. Plus you know your house is way too far from my school so um." I retorted not liking the sound of going with her to  live at her house. Plus I never liked it there. It was all quiet and the neighborhood seemed to be very unfriendly.

"Sweet heart,your mom and dad are dead now. Who'll take care of you if I-"

" Wait wait hold on, what did you just say? Did mom and dad die?"
