IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD

Chapter 15- I Am One Of Ten

"Wake up!" Someone demanded. I watched myself shake my head and wipe my eyes groggily. I looked confused and exhausted. "I said get up now!" I didn't recognize the person entirely but I had a vague idea of who it was.

I felt a strong had grip my wrist and yank me up. My knees felt week but I managed to stay upright. I straightened up and looked into the eyes of the yelling person. My eyes got wider than ever as I noticed not only one but three people standing in the room. All three people I wasn't very fond of.

Karrie, Keenan, Keith.

I shook loose from Karrie's grasp and looked around the room with terror in my eyes. I wasn't in a place that I knew of but I sure wanted out. Those three people hadn't been part of my life in a long time and for the better.

"Let me go!" I screamed. Keenan walked towards me with tears in her eyes. They matched mine perfectly and always had. She wasn't a bad person to me but she left when I needed her most.

Karrie was a part of my life that I wanted to either fall off a cliff or drown in the ocean. I wished that I had never met her all the time.

In the dream I was most likely 16 so Keith was 17, Keenan was 20, and Karrie was 28 . Regardless of age or maturity, I hated them with an ongoing burning passion.

As Keenan walked towards me, I backed up hastily. She kept coming closer until I was backed into a corner.

Brick. The wall was made of brick so I was in some form of a building. The building smelt of oil and dirt, not a very pleasant smell.

"You guys just need to back off." I said as they all began to walk towards me. "First, we need your help. You and you brain thingy." Karrie said in her deep arrogant voice. "Yeah," I paused and laughed under my breath. Then I got a harsh look on my face,"right after you get done burning in hell."

Karrie put her hands up and backed away shaking her head with a snarky smile. "Kitten, you didn't-" Keenan started. I butted in as quickly as possible,"You lost the right to call me Kitten when I turned three so back off now!"

She looked hurt. Her face could make anybody feel bad if she put on a sad face. Karrie was thinking about calling my Kitty and it was more than apparent in her devilish smirk. She got joy out of making people furious.

"Just help us." Keith said aggravated.

Just before I could say something, the dream changed.

I didn't know what this dream was. I was turning one. My mom and Kathy stood close to me and my dad was taking pictures. It was my birthday.

Other people were in the room but I was fixed on baby me. I couldn't stop staring at me in baby form. It was weird. Kathy is eleven years older than me so in the dream she was twelve. She looked really happy.

So the whole dream proceeded to be like any other party until my mom put cake in front of me in my high chair.

The piece of vanilla was coated in purple frosting. I looked down at it with my eyebrows adorably scrunched inward. The I reached down and drew the letter X on top of the cake. The I giggled as I licked the purple sugary icing off my tiny little index finger.

Kathy was quick to move close and flip the cake over so my mom couln't see. Unfortunately, Karrie had saw before Kathy moved and she said," Freak. Mom, other than Kathy this is the most disturbed baby you ever made."

Kathy ran towards Karrie with fury in her eyes. She drew back her hand to punch but the dream quickly changed.

The dream lasted maybe twenty seconds. I didn't know where I was, how old I was, what was going on, or who I was with.
