SHIFTER

Chapter 1: 3 am

Eli woke up from another nightmare. It's exactly 3 am and her dreams are always bugging her mind everyday.  She found it odd for waking up every 3 am.

Must be a sign. She thought even though she had no idea for what do that dreams tell about her life.

She went out of her room, went down through the stairs and went straight to the kitchen.

She looked at the clock. It's 3:01 am. Totally weird.

Finding food in the refrigerator will make herself feel at ease.

"I guess I shouldn't sleep then. Ofcourse I have classes." But she must wait for freaking 4 hours.

She sat at the stool feeling weird because she's talking to herself, again.

Eating chocolate ice cream makes her feel calm. She remembered that her mother is weird because their supply of chocolate ice cream is never-ending.

She sat on the stool. Eats the ice cream and then there she was thinking straight about her dream.

It was about a little girl playing with a boy. She knows deep in her heart that she was the girl. But who is the boy?

The little girl and the boy ran through the woods. And after that, they are shifting places.

She remebered the place like it was so familiar. A place somewhere she has been. But where?

Then suddenly out of nowhere  tall men are surrounding the kids. The men were wearing a professional coat or whatsoever.

The professional looking men are about to took them. The kids were scared cause those man are scolding them asking the kids to come with them. They fought to struggle and to escape but there's no use for escaping, they're too strong.

The last thing she saw is that the men took away the boy and all she did is ran away.

She massaged her forehead making herself at ease. Why does it feel so real? But all she remembered that it was just a fucking nightmare that she must not overthink to.

She heared her mom walking down the stairs. She looked at the clock and it was already 6 am. Right enough time to get ready for school.

"Good morning, Ma." She greeted.

" You woke up so early. Nightmares again huh?"

" Yes, same dream over and over again." She brushed her eyes to make her vision clearer.

"You'll get used to it, "

"Thanks, Ma. I'll go now and prepare for school."

"Okay, Sweetie. What do you want for breakfast?"

" It's up to you, Ma. Ciao."

She went up to her room. Took a bath get dressed with her usual look wearing a white adidas t-shirt, pants and her chucks. She also wore the watch that her mother gave on her 15th birthday.

She went down and ate breakfast. Her mom is driving her for school everyday since she's only 15.
