2:30 am

I was sitting by the window, looking outside. Still awake and looking at the full moon in the dark night.

The night was calm, but I couldn't get to sleep... again. I have started to have some weird and scary dreams, so I just stayed awake. Suddenly I got a strange feeling so I turned to my right. There it was, my great-grandmother's book, so I took it, just for curiosity. I watched it closely with its leather cover with a drawing of an eye engraved to it, and it had the appearance of an old book. I had never opened it since my mother gave it to me, she told me that I would know when the time comes. But I still got that strange feeling and I strongly felt that it was the moment. So I openned it.

I woke up on the floor with the book opened at my side. It was already morning so I stood up. "Ugh, I feel dizzy" I groaned. "What happened?" I picked up the book and closed it. I just stared at it, still feeling dizzy. I placed it on my desk.

I checked the clock. "Oh no, I will be late for school" I said. I walked to the bathroom to see me on the mirror and get ready but... "What, is this blood?" I was in shock, my mouth was covered with blood and my pajamas too. Quickly, I took my clothes off, took a shower and put on new clothes. I put on a black t-shirt with a white line horizontaly in the middle, skinny jeans, black boots that reached a little down my knee and took a black hat. There was some blood in the floor of the bathroom, but I couldn't do anything now, "I'm going to be late, I'm going to be late" I kept saying. I put on my makeup and a small necklace. Walking out the room, with my bag in hand, I was ready to go, but I stopped. I couldn't help it, I really felt dizzy now. "But I can't miss school, the exam is today." I said to myself. So I started walking to the kitchen to take some breakfast. After three minutes I was finished, I had to go now. I took my black coat and opened the door and just for a moment I saw a shadow pass my back. I turned around but saw nothing so I walked outside.

While I was walking I saw some police on the street, near the forest, they where surrounding something "But what?" I thought. The only thing I could see was a man on the floor and blood all around. Now I finally thought that I couldn't remember anything from last night. "No, that couldn't be me" I said to myself, thinking about the curse. I started to feel some panic, but I kept thinking "That couldn't be me". I passed the police and kept walking to school...

"That couldn't be me..."
