Caitiff

Chapter 1

{Caitiffs POV}

I jolted up in my bed and let out a shrieking scream. It was pitch black in my room except for the small glow from my clock. I looked over at it, it was only 3:16. I had another dream again, this was at least the fifth one this week. Every dream was the exact same, some how I would end up outside in the woods running from something I couldn't make out. I would fall down and as soon as the figure was about to jump on me all I would see was wings then I would jolt awake. "Caitiff!" I heard my mother yell from outside of my room. "Time to wake up and go to school!" She shouted back after I didn't reply. "Okay mom, I'm coming!" I yelled back not wanting to get up. Ugh, another day of boring school. I sighed and climbed out of bed getting my clothes, and getting dressed. I brushed my hair and teeth, and ran downstairs to grab my bag and head out to the car. As my mom drove me to school, something was off about today, I didn't know what it was but I felt weird. I shook the feeling off as I walked into school, up the stairs and to my home room. I've always been really quiet in school, some people didn't even know my name. The school day seemed to just drag out super slowly, after the last bell rang I started down the stairs to go outside to wait for my mom. At the last step a sharp pain hit my left side where my ribs were. I almost fell to the ground, but then the pain just stopped. I shook it off and walked to my moms car. It didn't take too long before I was back home. I through my things down and ran to my room. As soon as I entered my room the sharp pain in my side was back again. I collapsed to the floor, the pain seemed worse this time. I heard foot steps coming up the stairs, and the pain ultimately went away. I looked out into the hallway, there was no one there, weird.
