Nightmare

Erased Memories

"Stop!! What are you doing?!!"
"Your killing him !! Are you crazy ?!?!"
"Somebody help!!!"

02:00 am

I waked up drenched in sweat gasping for air, my heart racing as thought I was on a race, my breathing pattern was getting shorter and shorter, memories flashed back in the blink of an eye sending shivers all the way down to my spine.

I remember now what happened two days ago, he killed that man he he killed him with cold blood and and I..i was there standing and i i saw him and then he he did something to erase my memories.

That explains everything, the headaches I get whenever I try to remember that night's events or the sudden sharp pain in my head when I I'm close to him.

But how? How was he able to do that, did he hypnotize me?! or did he use some kind of magic on me?! I still don't understand one minute I was there the other I wake up in my bed remembering nothing.

I laid in bed all night pondering over many unanswered questions and trying meaninglessly to explain what seemed to be logically impossible until my six o'clock alarm rang and so my day begin.

I was taking out my English lit books out of my locker, still thinking about those black eyes that left me paranoid; when suddenly I felt someone's warm hand on my shoulder. My human instincts involuntarily functioned and I jumped out of surprise taking two steps back and slamming my back against the lockers.

"Wow easy Pearl, it's just me"

Upon seeing Em's frowning face I left out a deep sigh of relief.

"God Em you scared me"

"Do I look like a ghost to you"

"No it's just that..." I saw a man being killed by one of our classmates, but it's not like I can tell you cause your live will be in danger too and god knows what he would do to you  and me.

"Hey girls ready for another boring school day" Han shouted for everyone to hear.
"Oh hey Han did you finish that English essay"
"Of course I did"

"As expected of an A plus student, so would you mind giving this humble friend of yours a few phrases to copy"

"Why wouldn't I? Your my friend after all"

"Oh Han you really are the best!"

"Yes that is after you give me a Benjamin as a payment "

"What? Don't be stinky you know I'm kind of broke right now"

"Just kidding ! Here you can have it" Han said while handing out her notebook to Em who so eagerly reached to grab it when I snatched it away from Han's hand and rushed to the classroom giggling flowed by two crazy girls.

The classes were like usual long and boring. Hades wasn't there, I was partly thankful especially since I didn't feel like seeing his face again especially after that accident.

At lunch break me Em and Han decided to eat our lunch outside since it was a beautiful day and we didn't want to waste it.

Em was talking about her sister Maggie whom she claim is a bother and an annoying little sister and while I was listening to her whining and complaining i let my mind wonder away and I suddenly found myself gazing at this red and black motorbike parked at the entrance no to be exact I was looking at the rider of this mysterious bike and yes it was him,Hades, breathing and alive with his long arms, broad chest and black soft hair walking whiteout a care in the world completely ignoring his surrounding. When suddenly our eyes met and I saw him for a slight moment that I thought I've imagined it winking at me with a smirk drawn on his beautiful devilish face.

And just like a flash the picture of him killing that poor innocent man without blinking and with cold blood, crossed my mind.

I was starting to panic, I wanted to go and run as far as I could, countless scenarios were running in my mind and the worst one was with me ending up killed and thrown to the bottom of the sea.

"Hey Pearl you look pale, what's wrong?" Han interrupted my course of thinking calling me back to earth.

"I'm fine I just need to go to the restroom" I said while excusing myself.

I was finally out of the danger zone and inside the restroom washing my face in the hope of relieving this anxiety that's building inside of me but and unfortunately once I look at the mirror I start making some crazy decisions and this was one of them: in order for my mind to stay at ease and in order for me to relieve this stress I have to talk to Hades and confront him about the truth.
