Prologue

|Sʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀɪɴɢ Rᴇᴀʟɪᴛʏ|

『A million words would not bring you back,
I know because I tried,
neither would a million tears,
I know because I cried.』

Third Person

Your brother stared at you as your hair shone brightly under the sun's light, laying there peacefully while he brushed and tucked a stray lock of your hair behind your ear. Your body was still, not moving or shifting around as any other person would.

Your snow-white bangs lightly brushed your eyelashes, and your lips were slightly parted. Your brother stared in awe at how someone could look so peaceful in a world so violent.

He looked back at you. Innocence showed on your face as your eyelids were closed and your hair slightly fluttering in the sun as a breeze passed by. You looked like you were at peace, without any nightmares or any dreams.

"I'm sorry..." He softly whispered, although you couldn't hear it.

And if it hadn't been for the pool of blood beneath your withering body...

...He'd have thought you were sleeping.

First Person

Snapping my eyes open, I quickly sat up from my bed whilst gasping for air, clutching my shirt where my rapidly beating heart was located while I try to relax and even my breathing.

Looking around at my dimly lit surroundings, I noticed that I was inside my room, which made me sigh in relief as the worry and panic were washed away from my being. Though I was still unsure if I was still dreaming or not, so I pinched myself.

Cringing slightly from the pain that I had inflicted upon myself, I removed my hand from the irritated skin on my arm, as I had now confirmed that I was fully awake.

Sighing once again, I plopped back down on my comfy bed, moving and placing my right arm on my forehead as I blankly stared up at the ceiling in a daze. "...That damn nightmare again, why can't I just get over it?" I asked myself as I continued to stare at the ceiling with a pained look on my face.

"*Sigh* It's been years and I still can't get over it... If only I hadn't-"

Knock Knock Knock

"Brother? Are you awake yet? I made you some breakfast downstairs." Hearing the voice of my sister snapped me out of my thoughts as I quickly sat up from my bed. Stretching my body just to hear a satisfying 'popping' sound that came from my bones as I replied with a, "I'm awake and thanks."

"No problem, just come down to the kitchen once you've finished getting dressed. And hurry up before the food gets cold." And with that being said, she left and went downstairs. Leaving me with my thoughts again. "*Sigh* I shouldn't be thinking about that. That's all in the past now, and I should just focus on the future."
