The Value Of Life

Vision 2: Late Morning

As I walked to school, my vision stayed with me. Almost like a huge  imprint in my mind. What had it meant? Was I losing my mind? I didn't have any mental disorders that I knew of.. So why was this happening? As I came up upon the doors of the school, fear swallowed me for a reason unknown to me. The school suddenly looked like a Prison. As if as soon I went in, I would be forever trapped, ensnared in a spider's web. God... Was my mental state really that bad??? Aside from the foreboding feeling in my bones, I forced myself to go inside. The corridors suddenly seemed Longer, and my stomach did flips. As soon as I opened the door, blood came spilling out. The same smell from this morning filled my nose and it took everything I had to hold back the bile building up in my throat. I could feel the crimson liquid trying to seep into my shoes.    Though the blood was terrifying and disgusting, the worst had yet to come. In my first vision a hand grabbed my ankle. In this one, Someone came out of the  pungent river of death. My boyfriend, Christian, stood there , staring at me, blank eyes seeming to stare into my soul.I called his name , but he did not answer. Fearfully, I edged closer to him, but dared not to step into the blood. Only then, did i see why  he was not replying. His face looked to be melting, the skin bubbling and oozing away. My throat tightened with fear. I tried to run, but he grabbed my wrist tightly.  Sickening cracks erupted from my bones and I let out a howl of pain and tried desperately to yank away, but his grip did not waver. He pulled me close, and I noticed his skin had completely melted away, but instead of a skull, it was replaced by another boy's face. I must admit, he was very beautiful.  His hair was cyan, and he had golden eyes.These eyes were not blank, they were like jewels. The feeling looking at them gave me was like getting a drink of water after being lost within a dessert for weeks. Like I had found a rare piece of gold, and now I had to worry about nothing.  I could not help but be entranced, Even as he continued to break my wrist. He smirked, and with voice like honey, said; 

"Time is ticking, little girl."  

"W---Who Are you??? What do you mean?"  I stammered, almost hypnotized by his beauty.  His smirk widened as he leaned forward to press his lips to mine, and I leaned in to allow him to...

      My eyes snapped open and I jolted up. The pain in my wrist had faded, but my body was covered in sweat. I was outside the school, and Christian was leaned over me, icy blue eyes full of worry. 

"Lavy??  Are you ok???'' He questioned worriedly, helping me to my feet. Guilt washed over me. Though it was only a vision, I had almost cheated on him. He stared at me, awaiting my answer. 

"Y---Yeah.... I've just been having bad dreams.." I replied.

"Bad dreams????" He looked a bit nervous, his grip on my hands tightening. 

" Well They were more like visions." 

He seemed to flinch inwardly. "What kind of visions?..." 

I explained both of the visions, and as I told him about the boy, His face paled , and his eyes flashed with anger and fear. 

"Christian?...." I asked confused. 

Instead of answering me, He pulled me close and kissed me. I kissed him back, but this wasn't a normal kiss. Our normal kisses were happy and loving, and while this one was loving, it was somber,as if it was a goodbye kiss. 

When he pulled back, his eyes were moist, and they wouldn't meet mine. 

"Christian?! Whats wrong?!" I cried, putting my hand to his face. He held it, as the tears fell. 

"I love you." 

".....What??? What are you talking about???" I asked confused, but he ignored my question and wiped his eyes. 

"Nothing Lavy." 

"I can't help you If you won't tell me whats wrong!"

"You can help me by spending the day with me." He smiled, but I could tell he was faking it. 

Something was wrong. And I was going to find out what it was.
