I wake up to a bright sun ray shining through the crack of my window, the world is awakening.
The lighter.
Was that a dream? Of my dad? Why?
I crawl out of bed. Maxie isn't sleeping. She's not in the bed. Or in the room.
Where is she?
My best bet would be downstairs already. Which is rare for her to wake up before me.
I go over to my white desk and open the top drawer.
I move away a few loose papers and notebooks that I'll never use, and find the same small black box.
Dusty, but hey, it's the thought that counts, right?
The thought that I still have it?
I grab the box and sit back down on my bed.
I open the box slowly, almost as if to cherish the moment.
I take out a black lighter.
Waves of deja vu overcome me. I'm a bit taken back, but I still manage to put my finger on the lighter and ignite it.
A flare of light sparks out of the small object.
"Light it, and all the monsters in the dark will go away."
I put it in the pocket of my zip up I wore yesterday- considering I didn't change last night,- and open my door slowly to prevent it squeaking, and waking up the possibly asleep teenagers.
I walk down the staircase, hearing murmurs coming from the living room.
I only make out a few sentences.
"SHE TRIED TO RUN AWAY?!"
