-----------------•I•----------------

It was almost past midnight, and I still couldn't sleep.

No matter how many times I flip, turnover or roll, I still couldn't bring myself to fall sleep.

Most of my nights are like that, ever since the nightmares' dilemma began, I started to become not so fond of my sleeping hours like I used too. I mean, what is the point if it's only gonna wake me up in the middle of the night-- screaming? Yeah, no point.

At times it would get better and I would finally have a good night's sleep, time  passed, it got better and I got yet again attached to my resting hours once again. But since good things never last enough, they came back as soon as they went, and so my sleeping habits flew away from the window, once more.

But it's not as bad as it seems.

Usually I just stay tucked inside my bed, counting the hours till morning comes, sometimes I even pass the time by reading a book or two. But that's in the case where I don't have any ounce of energy.

On the other hand, if I'm not feeling idle, I do something that answers a lot of questions that a lot of Angels ask. In class today, the teacher asked us what are the uses of  the angel's gates and the void-land, Nowhere.

Want to know how I got my answers?  it's really simple; I escape.

Since most of my nightmares take place in Nowhere-- the land between Angelina and the hell Demonia-- In one intimate moment when I was just awoken from a nightmare, fresh and my throat was sore, I decided to pay it a visit and see what the fuss was about.

It was a school night when I was just a couple minutes ago woken up by my gut-wrenching screams, and I felt sick. everything around me was too much, being an Angel, you had too behave and as well stick to your realms rule, and at certain points, I couldn't do it anymore. I can escape from my dreams yes, but escaping from reality is something else. Especially if you are a princess and the whole kingdom is looking up at you.

It just felt too much, and I needed too set my mind off things a little. so i did the most rash thing a thirteen year-old angel can do, or even think of. I decided to go to the place that kept me awake all those nights. Nowhere.

The name held nothing, there where no feels at all when you hear it, unlike the ultimate fragility you feel when you hear the name Demonia, chills fill my back once I do so. So I thought, how bad can it be?

Climbing the stairs three stories up till I reached the roof, where I thought is the best place since you can see everything from here. Every single thing.

Not literally everything, but Angelina is pretty visible from up here. And half way through Nowhere, good enough it was as far as much as I needed.

I stood my grounds up, took a couple steps until I reached the edge of the wall where my escape will arise. I landed one leg at the big roof's fence and pushed up then landed the other one beside it. It felt good, the wind was blowing my hair away, making the view better for me, it felt nice; I felt strong as I spread both my wings free in the air, the wind blowing it all, while I stood up on the highest point of Angelina where the whole realm was underneath me.

The whole kingdom is mine, but still I chose to runaway.

I felt so...powerful. the feeling that you have a choice in life is better than ruling a million realms. Freedom feels good. Running away wasn't a good choice, but back then it made me feel brave.
