Fallen Star

A Nightmare

On the day of my birthday, I felt a bid out of place, I had an awful nightmare that night. I usually don't remember my dreams, but this one was different. All day it lingered over me, as if it was trying to tell me something.

It was quite a strange dream, it was very dark. I remember how it started, I was flying around the world, but I couldn't see how at the time, and I could feel everything as if it were really happening. I was terrified for I didnt believe anyone could fly on their own, and as I looked below at the ground, I felt frightened. I have never really liked heights, or being anywhere that is high up.

Then, as I was up in the sky, a very dark storm was coming upon me. Terrified I began to fall, down I began to go, as the thunder began to rumble above me, I was scared and sure I was about to die. But, right before I was about to hit the ground, a tall boy, wearing a black tuxedo, caught me and into his hands I went. As I looked at him, and into his face I saw how handsome this guy actually was. His hair was black and he seemed so mature and refined. As I was about to thank him, for catching me, his eyes turned red as fire as I stared into them with fear... Then suddenly, I awoke.

As I awoke, I thought to myself, what a nightmare, and thank the Lord I am in my comfy bed at my home. But like I said the dream just wouldn't go away. Through out the day so many intriguing questions kept coming to my mind. Such as who is this guy, why was I dreaming about him, does he even assist, and why was his eyes filled with fire, and blazing?

I decided not to share the dream with my parents because they all ready think I am somewhat strange and off things always happen to me, and I didn't want them to worry more than they allready do.

When I came down from my room, to eat breakfast, everyone in the room, well my mom, dad, and I, sat there at the table in complete silence. I was off daydreaming, my dad was reading the daily paper and my mother was just staring at me as she ate her oatmeal. It wasn't until she began speaking to me, that I looked up from the table, and realized she had been looking at me this whole time.

"Star? Is everything all right, you haven't even touched your breakfast?"
Shr questioned me as I then stared down out my food and realized I hadn't touched it yet.

" Uhm, yea mom of course, I am fine, I just forgot it was down there." I said.

"You forgot?" She said back at me with an inquisitive face. "Well eat up, before it gets cold, today is your 18th birthday and me and dad have something special planned for you today."

Something special? I thought to myself as I began to eat. Wonder what it could be. Normally I just got cake and ice cream on my birthdays. It has been the same thing for as long as I can remember. Unlike other people my are, I always had simple, at home, celebrations on my birthdays, while everybody else seemed to have big parties with all of their close friends and relatives, mine were well a lot more boring usually. Probably because the only people who attended were my parents.

What were they up to? I sat back and thought as I finished eating breakfast. As I got up to take a shower, my mom came over to me and hugged me, she now had this excited look on her face and she was gleaming with a smile, "Oh Star, my beautiful daughter. Today we are going to have so much fun. I can't believe you are all ready 18." She had tears glistening in her eyes as she stared into mine." I just Can not believe it!" She said again, as she let go of me.

"Okay Mom. I am just going to go get dressed and take a shower, then we can do whatever it is you have planned." I stated back at her with a big smile on my face. I mean even though she can sometimes be overbearing and protective, she was all I had ever known and trusted, and she was always full of love for me.

I then returned to my bedroom, with the dream still on my mind, I took a shower and put on my clothes, did my hair and all, because now, I was actually excited myself. What were my parents up to?
