[[[ Kashe (Prologue) ]]]
Kyarra woke up drenched in sweat.
Opening her eyes into the darkness of her room, she shuddered. It had been the same dream.
Throwing off her quilt, she took a deep breath trying to clear her mind off the disturbing images of her recurrent nightmare.
Again and again it was the same thing.
She was running through a dark alley, somewhere on the outskirts of an unknown city. Night had fallen and the city was asleep.
She wore a deep purple long skirt, croqueted with pink silk, which reached her ankles.
Above that, she was wearing a long flowing top made of a delicate material, woven with silver thread.
Her neck was bare and her hair was down, loosely clinging to her neck and shoulders which were plastered with sweat.
She could feel the adrenalin coursing through her body willing her to run on, faster. She ran for all she was worth, hearing the footsteps of the men thundering behind her.
Now, looking at the moonlight which was filtering onto her bed through the half open window, she tried to remember why she had been running.
One thing was clear, she was being chased.
And yet, she couldn't bring herself to ignore the feeling that there was more to it than that.
She had considered telling her parents about this recurrent dream (yes it was the only dream she could remember having had in the past six months. It was either that or a dreamless sleep).
But when her mother had looked at her with big wide eyes and a frown creasing her forehead, kyarra had dropped the idea.
Her father had even suggested taking her to a psychiatrist. And that was when kyarra realized her mistake.
Since then, she hadn't confided in anyone about these dreams. No, she had learnt her lesson.
It was hard enough trying to fit in a normal high school without having people think of you as a mental case. She just couldn't afford to give people another reason to laugh at her.
Mostly, she just tried to forget these dreams or tire herself to the extent that she wouldn't dream.
By now, she knew it all by heart.
The narrow alley, lined with empty vendor stalls (probably a market during day time).
The uneven street over which she ran barefoot.
The wind rustling in her hair. The echoes of the heavy foot falls of her pursuers.
And then, out of nowhere she ran against a wall and hit her head.
That was when everything went blank and she woke up with a start.
She was still in bed listening to the wind rustling the silk curtains.
Her house was at the outskirts of the town 'westwood', surrounded by orchards beyond which were the dense thick forests.
Not that she minded. Actually, she rather loved it.
Evenings she sometimes took a walk in the neighboring peach and apple groves listening to the gentle gushing of the brook which flowed nearby.
Another reason why she was a 'freak'. She chuckled darkly.
Day one in high school, her name alone had caused her to be labeled a 'freak'. Kyarra. Her name was different. And so was she.
With her dark, raven black, waist length hair, dark and tanned, but not exactly dusky complexion, she stood out from the blond and red haired beauties of her school.
Her flashing midnight blue-black eyes taught the guys not to meddle with her. For, she could certainly take care of herself.
Now that was what she just didn't understand.
Here, in westwood, she could easily take down four to five grown up men, all by herself.
She wasn't one to run or be daunted easily. And, yet in her dream, she was always running.Away.
Kyarra prided herself on her pluck and courage. That was why it was disturbing to see herself running away in fear.
She looked at her bed side alarm clock and sighed.
3:23 a.m.
Another sleepless night.
She was going to look like hell tomorrow, which was only going to give the gossip mongers in school, more to talk, laugh and wonder about.
She shrugged and got back into her pink quilted bed. (Cliché I know)
Snuggling in, she fell into a blissful, dreamless, harmless sleep.
