New Beginnings Volume I - The Hunt

Bloody Beginnings

       I'd like to start off by thanking you for taking your time, dear reader, to give a chance to this book. You know how there are always those bitches that just scoff in your face and tell you "You don't have what it takes to do that"? sadly I do too. I was told numerous times I suck at a lot of things, which was actually one of the reasons I kept trying. And here I am today, telling them to suck it! Did you ever experience that? If you did, then let's make them bitches sorry!

      The first volume was written two years ago, in 2014, and I know it needs improvement, but it really is worth reading because it just opens the road to the story in the next volumes. It's not me who says that, I actually was pretty sceptical about it, but my friends pushed me and supported me and I got like "Eh, why not?" XD. I mean if it's bad, it's bad; but if it's good, some bitches are gonna die ;D. And so I started!

       Now, if you aren't snoozing, or if you jumped directly to the end( wink wink, I kinda like you, i'd do the same sometimes) go back and read everything; and if you didn't fall asleep or closed the tab that, then I truly am really grateful and I am waiting for feedback ♥

      Darkness ...

       The only thing that surrounds me ... I feel lost ... my heart is racing ... I'm getting closer ... I feel ... watched. Suddenly panic is rushing through my body. My mind tells me to run but my feet just won't listen. They're getting closer and closer. My pulse is unbelievebly high ... they're here ... adrenaline pumping ... one more step and ...

Stranger : "Hanna, you still sleeping ?"
His voice brought me back to reality. He realizes what's happening and steps closer trying to calm me down.
Stranger : "Another nightmare ?" he says while hugging me tight.
Hanna : "I get them more often lately ... . And each time they seem more real ... like the actions have conseqences in real life ... "
Stranger : "Don't worry. They'll pass."
Hanna : "I hope ... " I said as I raised from my bed. "Thank you Chris."
Chris : "Don't mention it."
His words were followed by a morbid silence. But it was broken soon.
Chris : "Your parents would be so proud of you, you know that, right ? After everything you've been through .... not even a single tear!"
Hanna : "I know ... "
He hugged me again but this time a light hug that lasted just for a couple of moments, then he left the room.
Chris :" I almost forgot ... the van will be here tomorrow at 7 a.m. You've got everything packed ?"
Hanna : "Yes. I just need to get the stuff from the tree house and I'm all set." [sigh]
Chris : " It's going to be fine ... I promise you. A fresh new start is exactly what you need right now."
Hanna : "Maybe you're right. But it's the second time I hear these words ... and the last time it didn't end even close to 'fine'."
Chris : "We'll work things out togheter, ok ?"
Hanna : "Ok." I said trying to smile. "But you know ... I just don't understand."
Chris : "What is that? " he said sitting in the doorway with one eyebrow lifted.
Hanna : "Every nightmare is like ... a ... next part for the previous one ... they have continuity. The first one was just the beginning of the series. And that place ... I've never seen it before but It's like I've been there. And that person ..."
Chris : "What person ? That part I never heard." he said with fear in his eyes.
Hanna : "I don't know who he was ... "
Chris : "So it was a man"
Hanna : "Judging by the shape ... I think so. He was running ... and he was injuried. I tried to call him but my voice got stuck in my troath."
Chris : " Like you were just watching ? "
Hanna : " No ... like everything was planned. Like I was playing a role. My body was moving without me controling it."
Chris : "And have you seen his face ?"
Hanna : " A bit ... somehow ... I just can't remember anything detailed."
Chris : " And you 2 were alone ? "
Hanna : " I thought so ... but in this last one ... it's like they were watching us. Waiting for us to make a move ... they almost got me but then you woke me up."
Chris : "Who were they ?"
Hanna : "I have no idea."
Chris : "Sometimes dreams are just dreams. It's your mind that is playing tricks."
Hanna : "I sure hope so ... [phone beeps] Listen ... I've got a text from a friend, I'll meet her to give her some stuff that she left here. I'll be real quick."
Chris : "Ok but be carefull. It's almost dark."
Hanna : "I will. I promise."
       He left the room and I quickly changed my clothes and rushed outside. The moment I left the house I realized my keys were inside. "Heck with them ... I'll just walk"
Reaching Lana wasn't hard, we were sort of neighbors. We met halfway.
Hanna : "Here ." I said handing her a bag with some clothes and notes and also a box that contained a bracelet.
Lana : " Thanks. So ... you are really leaving ... "
Hanna : "Yep ... I wish I didn't but you know how complicated things are ... "
Lana : " We're so going to miss you!" she said dropping everything and hugging me tight while tears filled her eyes.
Hanna : " I know! Me too! Make sure you tell the others!"
Lana : " Wait! You are not going to say goodbye to them ?!"
Hanna : "It would be too hard ... it's better if I just leave. Also I sent them the jewelry."
