Italics are either flashbacks/dreams/thoughts

It was a quiet night as I lied in my bed staring at my bedroom ceiling. I never really had any friends nor did anybody tried to be my friend. I could hear the children laughing and squealing in delight as they played outside, I could hear their parents calling out to them to go home since it was getting late. 

I've never really had any of the simple things in life. A mother to teach you from right or wrong, a father to protect you from boys, or a friend to cheer you up when you're sad. It made me wonder what it would feel like if I wasn't cursed... if my parents haven't died. Would it make a difference?

Suddenly the quiet night was interrupted by the shouts of my foster parents as they barged into my room without knocking, only to find out it was my foster mother. 

"My husband left because of you! I knew we shouldn't have adopted you! You're nothing but a curse, a hindrance!" she shrieked as angry, sad tears rolled down her face. She stormed up to me and yanked me out of the comfort of my bed by grabbing my blue hair. "It must have something to do with this strange blue hair of yours." she pointed out as she kept trying to pull my hair out. 

Suddenly the comforting sight of my room disappeared and was replaced by a black hole of nothingness. Each and every foster parent that I ever had popped in the background with their angry expressions, hateful glares, and their hurtful words echoed throughout this world of nothingness. All I could do was curl up into a ball as I pressed both hands to my ears trying to block their voices but it was useless. 

"It would've been nice if you could've died with your real parents." 

"You're no daughter of ours! You're just our ticket to get this lovely house." 

"Why did your hair turned blue? Who are you? You should stay away."

"She's nothing but a curse and I fear that we have been cursed as well." 

But it didn't just stop at the words of my foster parents, words from my neighbors and people whom I don't even know joined in. What was even worse were the people whom I killed that night even spoke as if they were alive, their bloody faces appeared like a horror painting. 

"You killed... we knew you were a curse." 

"She killed a whole village! She's no curse... she's a monster!" 

"Monster."

"Freak."

"Curse."

"Witch."

Their words seem to never end as their faces popped up every now and then. I wanted it to all stop. The pain, their words, and even my breathing... I just wanted it all to stop.

"Please! It's just a misunderstanding! I didn't mean to hurt anyone! I hate hurting people... please believe me." I tried reaching out to them but their scowls seem to deepen as they stared at me like I was a monster. Their words were suffocating me like a tight rope around my neck, or a knife cutting my airway. I shut my eyes tightly even when tears were running down my face as I covered my ears once more and shouted "Please go away! Someone... please... save me."

As if my prayers were answered yellow and green lights sparkled around lighting up this darkness of mine that only seemed to grow darker but was now lighted up by familiar lights. I opened my eyes and saw the beautiful lights surrounding me as if they were trying to save me from this darkness. That's when I heard him.

I slowly removed my hands from my ears to hear his singing voice clearly. His voice seemed to make all the other voices vanish. His voice echoed around me but the same as usual there was no person singing, just his voice. Suddenly the darkness faded away and I was suddenly in my old backyard and everything seemed to be glowing. As I whirled around to stare at the beautiful lights I suddenly see a dark figure standing in the forest, and it seemed to be that it was him who was singing. 

I slowly approached him only seeing a dark brown cloak as the person faced the opposite way. My eyes seem to stare at him with love and adoration that I have stored for him all these years. Even if I haven't heard his voice for years still just remembering his voice was enough to get me through hard times.  

Curiosity and hope filled my heart as I knew I was about to see the face of the person whom I held close to my heart all these years. But as I placed my hand on his shoulder everything disappeared.

I jolted up in my sleep to find out I was no longer riding the dragon. I was propped up against the large roots of a tree as I sat on the soft grass with a white cloak draped over me. Even in my dreams, he seems to be the hero. I smiled warmly as I remembered his voice and how it made my heart seem to stop and beat fastly all at the same time. 

"Good dreams I hope?" Lindel asked me as he popped out from nowhere. I smiled at Lindel and said "Wonderful dreams in fact." Lindel smiled softly at me and said "Good, you were whimpering in your sleep so I thought you were having a nightmare... But I'm glad everything turned out well." 

Even if I just met Lindel I knew that we were going to be close friends, and just looking at his warm smile makes me feel the happiest I've ever been in a long time. 

Now I couldn't tell if I was getting butterflies from hearing the voice in my dreams or from Lindel's smile. Either way, I don't mind.

I know it's short but I swear I'll try to update more!
