Blood Shed in Paradise

Realistic dreams

As Harriet Tubman once  said "Every great dream begins with a dreamer" I just wish the dreamer wasn't me ~ Paradise✨🌊

I can't see anything but hear tapping as if someone is running. As my vision comes back I see that I am the one running, so I turn around to see who exactly I'm running from. I turn quickly as I see a man who is tall, bald, has lots of scars and is very scary. As I turn back to run faster I hit a tall mans' chest. My breath quickly hitches as I look up terrified. This man is beautiful with green eyes,they even hypnotized me for a bit but I soon shake out of it and notice something. Those hypnotic eyes then start to bore into my eyes angrily be they then soften as he pulls me to his chest. I twist back around remembering the scary man that was chasing me, petrified I look him in the eyes and try to step forward. Mr. handsome keeps me in retention as he looks the man chasing me, (might I add he has an quite evil aura if I say so myself) in the eyes " Simon?" in a very deep voice. The man so called Simon then disappears into thin air. Mr. Handsome then drags me into a car as darkness takes over me.

I wake up sweaty,confused, and feel a wave anxiety come over me. I look around frantically looking for any traces of Simon or the green eyed man.I realize that it was just a dream.Then I smell breakfast and head down stairs because food comes before all am I right. As I open my door I hear my aunt Sarah yelling "Paradise, come down breakfast is done" Then I'm surprisingly greeted by 8 little smiles and good mornings and one last "buenos Dias". Not the usual groggy grunts. Did I mention I live with my auntie and she fosters a lot of kids but I don't mind, I like kids as long as they are well behaved. The not so behaved kids were fine too since they were a lot younger. (Johnny Donny and Ronny (triplets) they are 8, Kaci and Kendall (twins)they are 10.) The rest were normally hormonal teens that barely communicate with me besides Quinlan about her problems.(Quinlan,13 Joseph, 14 and Trey, 16)
My aunt Sarah is 37 and she takes care of all of us fairly well to have a standard job
" Paradise can you please go to the store and get eggs and bread before you go to work?" she pleads
" of course auntie"

After breakfast I get ready for work, a cute little dinner near the mall. The only mandatory part of the work attire was the hat and shirt and close toed shoes, which I absolutely loved. Today's Saturday so I open and close but it's not as bad as it sounds because I actually enjoy working there. I think about how big of a check I'll be getting because of all the shifts I've been work and grin. I grab my phone and rush downstairs to get my keys. "See y'all later love y'all" I say hurriedly before getting into my Toyota. And off to work we go.

My last customer of the day walks out. I go to switch the sign to closed and wipe up the tables. After my co-workers leave, I make sure all the friers and grill are turned off, I grab my food and head out. As I lock the door I see a man in all black standing in the street light before I turn to walk to my car. Out of fear I look over my shoulder and see he isn't there anymore.Swearing in my head,I get in and text my auntie that I'm on my way home. I put my key in the ignition before noticing movement in the backseat. Looking up I see the man in all black. I screamed literal bloody murder. He puts. Towel over my face I try to fight but don't succeed.Right before everything goes black I see the man Simon from my dream.

DUN DUN DUN
cliffhanger I know but since it's the beginning shorter chapters and they come quicker. So stay tuned. I also have a few chapters written but nothing is set in stone so let me know how you feel.
