I woke suddenly, sitting bolt upright. Sweat covered my body, and I was breathing heavily. The nightmare I just had was so vivid, and still in my mind that I was certain that something bad had happened to me, but when I looked down at my self, I was exactly how I was when I fell asleep. I breathed out, and pushed my hair back.
I looked around the room, and all I saw was darkness. I reached over and turned on my lamp. It was midnight, and this was the third time I had woken from a nightmare. I shoved my blankets off with shaking hands, and threw my legs over the edge of the bed. A cold breeze came through the room, making me shiver. I looked over at the partially open window, and stood up slowly.
I shakily walked over to the window, and closed it. Turning back around, I looked toward my desk. My screensaver on my laptop was floating around on the screen. Pictures of Quxxin flashed past on a slideshow. I finally calmed down, and walked over to my desk.
Sitting down on my chair I spun to face my laptop, in which I shook the mouse to bring up the desktop. I pulled up the internet, and quickly typed my blog address into the top bar. Once on my blog I checked the messages that I had received. Most of the messages were from Quxxin, but there was one message that scared me.
KilletForHim:I'm here! and I can't wait to see you!
I gulped, and stared at the screen. I quickly logged off, and then stood pacing about my room. 'Who the fuck is messaging me!?' I thought before I walked back to my bed.
"Alright... I can get sleep, I swear I can." I said to myself.
My bedroom door opened up, and Jillian popped her head in. "Hey, are you ok?" She asked.
I shook my head, and my fathers voice popped into my head. 'You're to weak to even say it!'
I sighed. "I've been having nightmares lately." I finally told her.
Jillian stepped into my room, and closed the door behind her. "Well, tell me about them."
Biting my lip, I suddenly went off about what the nightmares are like, and how vivid they had become. Through the whole thing, she listened intently.
"I understand Aadin, you don't have to be afraid to tell us." She held out her arms, and I looked at her before leaning against her allowing her to comfort me.
"How about you go have a shower, take as long as you need, and then come into the kitchen... I'll make you some hot chocolate."
I nodded, "That would be nice thank you."
I stood up and picked up my towel, and walked off to the bathroom. Once in the bathroom I shut the door behind me, and leaned against it. The voice in my head continued. 'They don't really care, they just want to appear like good guardians.'
I smacked the side of my head, and then pushed away from the door. I walked over to the shower, and turned the water on before pushing my boxers off. I climbed into the shower, and then sat down at the bottom of the tub. The water pounded down on my back, and head soaking me quickly.
That's all I did for an hour, was just sit there in the shower thinking things over. After a full hour I got out of the shower, and walked into the kitchen. Jillian was passed out on the living room couch, and a mug of hot chocolate was sitting on the kitchen table for me. I walked over and picked up the mug. I drank it quickly as it wasn't really that hot, and then set the mug in the sink. I walked back into my bedroom, and sat down on my bed pulling the blankets over my legs.
"ok.." I spoke softly, as I turned the lamp off, and laid back down.
I fell asleep, and went into a deep slumber, and was unable to wake up from the nightmare that took place for the rest of the night.

I walked into the school slowly, and found Quxxin at my locker waiting for me. He gave me one look, and a concerned look crossed his face.
"Aadin? Are you ok?" He asked as he walked up to me.
He placed his hand on my cheek and pushed my head up a little bit. "Did you get any sleep?"
I nodded slowly, "Yeah, I got sleep.... but I've just been having nightmares."
"Awww, babe."
Quxxin hugged me, and then kissed me before taking my bag from me, and opening my locker to put my bag away. I looked around the hallway, and froze when I saw a girl with bright red hair, and black tips. I gulped, and moved closer to Quxxin. The girl looked over, and then smiled before bounding over to us. Her mid-thigh length black dress bounced slightly due to all the ruffles.
"Aadin, how nice to see you!"
"N-n-n-nice to see you too..." I gulped again. "Miranda."
Quxxin turned around after closing my locker. "Oh.. Who's this?"
Miranda smiled at Quxxin. "I'm Miranda, I'm an old friend of Aadin's."
I stared at Miranda, and then looked down the hall again. The bell rang, and I turned to Quxxin.
"I have Biology... I'll see you later?" I asked.
"Yeah, of course babe."
Quxxin kissed me, and walked off to his class. As I began walking down the hallway, Miranda caught up to me.
"What teacher do you have for biology?" She asked.
I glared at her, and then quickly looked away. "Mr.West."
I did not dare back talk Miranda, I knew what she could do.
"Oh Goody!" She said as she suddenly clapped her hands happily.
I closed my eyes, and all I could think was 'Oh god... we have a class together.'
Miranda looked at me, and then reached out gripping my wrist. "And if you dare try and run from me again, I swear I will hurt you." She growled.
I breathed out harshly, and then stepped into class. I walked up to Mr.West. "This is a new student, her name is Miranda."
I looked at the preps that were staring at her, and when she gave them all the death glare, they quickly looked down. Mr.West looked at her, and then nodded. I walked over to my seat, and sat down. Miranda quickly joined me, and sat down beside me. I turned my body away from me, but she quickly reached out, and grasped my hand.
I bit my lip, and then moved my body back to face the front. Once I did, she let go of my hand, and moved her hand down. I breathed in sharply when I realized what she was about to do. I closed my eyes, and put my head down on the table. I fought the urge to scream out in class.
*******************************************************************
After class I ran as fast as I could to the boys bathroom. I wanted to avoid Miranda as much as I could, but just as I rounded the corner to the bathroom, I ran into Quxxin, which made me a little more happier. I hugged him, and he looked down at me.
"Aadin! Is something wrong?"
"No." I replied, unable to tell Quxxin what was going on.
