CHAPTER 2

I woke up in a cold sweat. The Demons hurt me more than ever. Oh god, the things I saw almost felt real. They tried to choke me and forced me to see them cut open humans, they ate all their organs in front of me.

It's very disturbing in a way I thought I was crazy thinking its soothing.

Really, nobody can think that sooths them at all. God it might drive them off the wall and go might I say, mental?

My hands were cold as they ran through my hair. I look towards the faint red clock on the small wooden bedside table next to me and read 3:03 in the morning. Now that I'm awake, I'm afraid to go back to sleep again. Besides once I woken up I can't go back to sleep anyway. I glance towards the window to see it lightly raining & feel a cool breeze come in through the small cracks in it.

It was so beautiful tonight. My fear faded away slowly and to a nice feeling.

What could I do now? I have nothing to do & I really don't like staying inside all day. Outside looks amazing when it's dark, why would I miss out now?

The waters would also look amazing, there's a place I would enjoy going to at this hour or just enjoy the view.

I got out of bed and walked to my tiny closet. Practically, all I had was dainty dresses as of from the "old" era but I still like them. At least it's different from every girls ripped jeans and tiny tops. I had no pants like at all, the only thing I have that counts as pants is a few pair of tights which I only put on in the winter for safe keeping.

My eyes caught on to a gray dress with a thin brown belt around the waist & long enough to my knees. I quickly changed into it and went through the narrow hallway to the front door. The only pair of shoes I had were black flats with a light blue bow on each.

It actually took me a bit to save up for them & I'm glad that I did. They are a nice touch to everything in my wardrobe. I grabbed my keys and went out through the door.

The rain lightly kissed my skin as it seemed to stop.

I wish days could be more like this.

My feet turned left towards the main city where everyone lives with their "fancy" mansions, cars, & lives. I enjoy it but not all the glamour, I didn't choose to live here so I am saving up money to go to a more peaceful place. My mind is set on Canada or London.

Either will do since I like urban areas more than outgoing ones. I want to runaway from this place since it has my history written all over it.

But for now, I need to enjoy this life.

Few cars passed by me as I walked on the sidewalk. The street is never alone even if it's this time of night, people are always busy with their own work.

Teenage boys smoke in alleyways acting "cool" & talking smack about people. They seemed sad in a way I can't describe, but they are. Everyone does drugs for a reason, so why do them if you have no problems.

It's like you want to die for no reason at all & of course, it kills. No joke.

The lamp posts seem to flicker more often since crime took a step down. Shouldn't they shine brighter?

Wow, I'm so bored from all the little things.

Suddenly my attention drew to a long pathway to what seems a large building. It looks familiar, I think it's something way before probably.

But then again, no.

The old stone looked way too familiar not to be recognized & so as the vines.
