Chapter 5: Sleep

Maples pov:

"Hey mum can you please take me to the shopping centre I want to find a job so I can buy something for Jennifer's birthday party" Zach asks

"Sure thing sweetie! Anything for you and my daughter in law" I wink

"Thanks mum your the best" Zach says kissing me on the cheek

Chuckling a little at how grown up he is and how much more social he is around others now!

Everything starts to go blurry and suddenly I'm sitting at a table with the kids and....Mike? walking towards me

"Hey babe, happy birthday" Mike says pecking my lips

"Thanks! What took you idiots so long?" I joke. I'm never this happy?

"We got you this" Ses says taking out a perfectly wrapped present from behind her back

"What for me? Why? It's not like it's my birthday or anything" I exclaim

"Yeah we just thought you've been really up tight lately and wondered maybe you needed a break" Ty jokes

"HAHA your so funny Ty" I say whilst unwrapping there present

"So do you like it?" Zach asks

"I get what you mean by having a break now Ty" I wink whilst every one else chuckles

"We will be using it a lot sweetie don't you worry" Mike whispers

"Ewww!" The kids say in unison. Yep still not use to it

"Hey you guys got me the condoms" I point out

"Yeah yeah" Zach waves off not wanting to talk about his mothers sex life

I'm about to speak up again when they seem to start moving away. Further and further away. But they aren't moving.....I am. Everything is slowly dimming until I hear myself scream!

"Mum! Mum! Wake up, your ok, don't worry" I hear Zach comfort

Bolting off the couch I look around my surroundings. That's one of my daily dreams of fate. Every night I have one of those dreams. Anything. There not my nightmares where he is coming to get us. It's just the angels showing me the possibilities of my fate.

'You ok mum we could hear you screaming from a mile away" Ses questions, "it's 3am" Ses adds

Shaking my head a little as I swallow. "I-I should try and get more rest like you all." I stutter covering up all my emotions

"Ok but you better not lie to us again. We will let you off this time but we will use Zach to our advantage" Ty warns

"Sure sure now off to bed you shouldn't look at your possible future" I joke. We don't believe that I can see fate because only bits of my dreams come true.

"Yeah yeah goodnight mum" Zach says

"Goodnight kids don't let the bed bugs bite" I say, "or your nightmares" I mutter, but not quite quiet enough because I can here the kids talking about my comment

Slithering into my bed I close my eyes and try to force myself to sleep but my body just doesn't want to shut down from those dreaded dreams. I keep trying until 5 am and decide it's no use because I'll be up soon anyway and I might as well get a early start.

Walking in the bathroom i turn on the lights and look at myself in the mirror. I almost scream again but my voice hurst like hell because I have a soar throat from screaming earlier on. Looking closely at myself in the mirror I can see wrinkles from stress and my hands are shaking like hell from anxiety. I have bags under my eyes and pale skin for a werewolf. This is all from lack of sleep.....well most of it.
