Boondocks: The Hood Edition

Strange Dreams & Nightmares pt. 1

(A/N : So around the time I was writing this chapter and the next one, I was having strange ass dreams. Hell, we all get'em from time to time😂. So anyways, I decided to make these two chapters in dedication to my recent erie dreams, and if you pay close attention to some of these, you'll peep the de ja vu in far later on chapters. Enjoy!!)

Caesar's POV~

"Stop running from me!" I demanded to the girl I was chasing through the woods. It's misty and the sky is dark grey with clouds covering it. It's just me and her in these woods while thick trees and tall grass surrounds us. I don't know why I'm chasing her or where I'm at. Not to mention, I sound like the ten year old me.

"Leave me alone! You don't care!" She yells, seeming like she was running faster. I start running faster out of nowhere catching up to her, as if I caught a booster or something. Im literally just a few feet away now.

"Just let me talk to you!" I pleaded but I was still not convincing enough to make her stop running. I stopped for a second, catching my breath. After about ten seconds, I start back running again. Damn. I don't see her anymore.

She disappeared. I still kept running and looking behind logs and trees trying to find her.

Suddenly, I stopped walking then started tip toeing to a tall, wide tree that I thought I heard whimpers coming from.

As I got closer, the whimpering got softer and lower. I looked over the tree and saw her with her knees to her chest, crying a little while squeezing a purple pikachu teddy bear. It looks like she's about ten, eleven or twelve. She's olive toned with long brunette hair. She's very pretty and she looks familiar.

I step a little closer to her. "Shit," I cursed,  stepping on a twig causing her eyes to widen and to get ready to take off again. Before she can get away, I gently grab her wrist.

"Why are you running from me and why am chasing you through the woods and what is your name!?" I questioned, out of breath. She tries to yank away from me, but I got a tight grip on her.

"Ouch, fuck!" I cursed. She just bit the shit out of me. Although this feels like a dream, I felt that shit.

"Stop resisting and tell me what's going on!" I demanded. She stops resisting then stares at me with tears in her eyes. It's those soft beautiful hazel eyes that makes me more eager to keep a hold of her.

"Stop acting like you don't know my name is Hazel! You know you let this happen to me. I will never forgive you!" She yells. "What are talking about Ha-Hazel?" I ask, trying to calm her down, nearly forgetting her name already. I pull her in a hug as she full on starts crying on my chest.

She let's go of me, plopping down on the ground still crying. I sigh then sit next to her. "What do you want Caesar? You only care about yourself and your stupid friends anyways. Leave me alone and go away." She cries.

"That's not true, Hazel. I care about you too." I hug her. She pulls away then slaps me. "I hate you!" She screams then gets up, running off again. Dammit.

I sighed, getting up and going after her. It seems like we're getting closer to the road now as I can hear cars passing. She reaches the road before me. My eyes widen as she stops in the middle of the road while a truck comes speeding. He doesn't look like he's paying attention either.

Right when he's about to hit her, I push her out of the way, hearing tires screeching while feeling the car slam against my body instead. In an instant, the whole world had stopped.

I can hear Hazel screaming for help and the driver of the truck on the phone with the police. She gets down, hovering over me, crying. "I'm so sorry, Caesar. Don't leave me like this." She cries, grabbing one of my hands.
