"Tap, tap, tap". The sound echos in the hall way due to no other sound resenting other than the heavy breathing of the two entities. Small drops of cold sweat fell down Bella's face. She sat trembling with only her sheer imagination to know who was out side of her room waiting. Bella stopped in fear as she saw a shadow cast of the who.
"I'm coming Bellator, hide if you can, it will not help much in the end" said the who in a chilling tone. It sent shivers down Bella's spine almost sending her into tears. A fog crept from the bottom of the door where the shadow was standing. It was purple and black with a smell that was horrid. It slowly covered the room expanding every second. The closer the fog got the more scared Bella got. She could only watch the deep fog fill the room. The fog grew to be thick until you couldn't see anything, not even light. You could see nothing with that deep fog, not even hope in it's fullest.
Bella's eyes grew from shut to wide trying to escape the darkness. Her heart was beating hard and she took heavy breaths. She stopped grasping the little light ahead of her barely filling the room as she peered at the outside world coming to realization as she smiles in relief. The sun was barley out right now, it was properly about 6 a.m by the looks of it. The birds were up chirping a bit just like the school children getting ready for the bus. The desk only had sunlight on it. It was a beautiful white desk and had an automatic cleaner so it would stay white. The book shelves contained only drawings, the books were stored under ground to call up when ever needed so they would stay intact for a longer period. The most colorful thing in the room was a painting made by Bella's sister a year ago, past its due date to be taken down.
"Just a dream, or more of a nightmare", Bella said with a large sigh smiling to her self. She looked around the room, it was as it was before, no fog, no creepy person or thing outside, just her and her sister sleeping.
"Adiutor, tell me what time it is.", Bella said trying to find her watch for the time.
"It is 5: 43 a.m, do you need anything else?", the auto matted helper replied.
"No thank you.", Bella replied slipping the covers off her. It was time of day you could see the sun peek out but the moon still, not dark enough for stars though. At this time she would usually be fast asleep but it was different this time. The nightmare had truly frighted her, she didn't know why or how it did but it had. She was a very brave person, nothing really scared her but this did, she felt it uneasy to go back to bed, not wanting to return to the fog. She picked up her feet and dragged it over to the bathroom, 'time for a new day, a new start' , her mother always said that. She picked up the tooth brush and started to brush. The minty breath now was as sharp as ever. She could also still hear her sister's roars, anyone could from a mile away. You feel the ground rumble even if you were close to her.
"Adiutor, cancel out sound from S1f" Bella said hopping for the sound to stop this time.
"Already done, Anything more?"the automated bot replayed.
"Nothing more.", she replied as the sound slowly stood to an ease. She finished up brushing her tangled hair stared at herself. Light brown hair, a bit of white on the tips of her hair, green eyes, peach skin. That was her main features that anyone could notice from first glace. 'Thump'. A noise had suspended her attention, Bella quickly lost thought of her reflection in the mirror and ran out of the bathroom to the room again. Her feet hit the ground with a slap rather than being dragged across the brown wooden floor. She opened the door, there was her sister, probably snoring still, you couldn't tell with the mute on her. The room was the same as it was before but this was not cutting it. Bella was astonished, her sister was the deepest sleeper anyone could meet and her sister clearly didn't fall on the floor. She walked over to her bed and observed it, nothing, she straightened out her bed sheets in one clean swoop and went over to the window. It was now more bright, not many people up or some just getting up, robots were already doing their job and picking up the trash on the ground and on their way for chores.
"I should put my extra time to use and study.", Bella said already on her way to the table.
"Adiutor bring me my study books volume 2 algebra.", she said, she pulled out the chair in order to sit down. A book popped up as she plopped on her chair. Then it was there. A bright white envelope with a dull red stamp. The stamp had a rose on it, it was delicate. She picked up the letter, it had not been here before when she woke up. It was warm and smooth to the touch. She started to tear the letter, inside was a slip of paper folded. Thoughts bullet-ed through her head as she tore the mysterious letter. 'Who is this sent by? What is on this letter? Is this a threat? Should I be opening it? Is it meant for me or my sister? Did my sister so this somehow?'. All of these and plus ran through her head as her heart pound, not sure what feelings she help about the random letter and it's containment.
