I was running again.

Running, but a different path.

It was night time in the middle of the city's streets, a couple of street lights still lighting up some space.

I was running in the middle of the street, where the cars should drive past.

But there's nothing.
I'm all alone with my biggest nightmare behind me.

"Please stop doing this!" I cried out, forcefully wiping my tears away while trying not to fall due to the blurry vision.

"Nari" An inhuman voice echoed as if it's played through a speaker.

"Please leave me alone.." I mumbled, trying to run faster and further away.

"Stop" The same voice hit my ears and I was stopped.

My legs just stopped without my permission, leaving me heavily panting and trying to catch my breath.

"Please.." I breathed out.

"Don't run" A deep, almost human voice filled the empty streets.

It sent shivers down my whole body. Is this the end?

I could feel something on my cheek, a cold touch to my already cold enough skin.

Receiving goosebumps from the coldness and also the fact that he just touched me, I tried to back away, but to no avail.

My feet were stuck to the ground like glue. Super glue.

"Please don't touch me or come near me" I said, whimpering.

I heard some giggles coming from the monster himself. They weren't genuine, they sounded evil.

"I will do what I want, Nari. This is my universe, and you're my main character in my own story" The monster growled.

BEEP! BEEP!

"Ugh, why does this always happen? I should've tossed that alarm out the window by now!" I rubbed my eyes and literally smashed the stupid alarm clock.

Sitting up, I looked through the window. It was raining.

The sounds of water dropping on my glass windows were calming, filling the entire room with a gloomy atmosphere.

"You're my main character in my story..." I mumbled, still gazing at the now busy streets through the wet glass.

After a couple of moments, I reach for my drawer and pull out an old notebook.

The cover was simple grey leather, and the pages were starting to have the old paper scent.

"What's the reason for these dreams? Is he coming for me in real life?" I mumbled while flipping the pages to a new one.

I started writing down his words in a new page, underlining the words my universe, main character and my story.

Settling the old book deep inside my drawers, I finally get out of my sheets and get ready to finally meet my brother.

•••

Sitting in a little cafe at the end row, I patiently waited for the person I'm supposed to meet.

Gently tapping on the dark oak table, I gazed through the window to see more rain and puddles.

This reminded me of Peppa the Pig to be honest.

I sighed before resting my hands under my chin and mostly overthinking the most recent dreams I had.

"Nari-ah!" A well known and cheerful voice filled my ears.
