First Comes Love...

Chapter 40

"I love you to," Camila said as she went back to sleep after he left, thinking that maybe her and Austin could be together after all. That maybe she could start taking regular classes again, but then she went to dreamland.

*Dream*

Camila was in oblivion. Everything was pitch black, yet she could see herself if she put her hands in front of her face.

"Hello? Is anybody here?" She asked.

Nobody answered. Camila started walking having no idea where she was going. She got startled and tripped over nothing when a voice started talking.

"Camila. What a pleasant surprise," an evil yet seductive voice said.

"W-w-who are you?" Camila stuttered.

"That doesn't matter."

"Why are you talking to me?"

"I've got to tell you something."

"W-w-what is it?"

Just then memories of Austin were displayed in the center of the black space she was in. It showed memories of when they were kids all the way up until now. She was smiling at all their good times. When it reached the most recent memory of that night, a huge red X crossed it out. Camila stood there confused.

"You can't be with him. You'll hurt him. And he'll most definitely hurt. He doesn't even like you. He's probably just fulfilling a bet, that he can't afford to lose. I mean who would want to date you? You're pathetic and worthless. You've contributed nothing to this world. Nothing to his world. You don't belong with him Camila. You never will..." The voice said with such an evil tone yet so convincingly.

Camila sank to her knees and cried, "No. That's not true! I don't believe you, whatever you are."

"Oh you better believe me honey," the voice said as it seemingly got closer.

Camila was scared. She looked around trying to find the body of this thing that had been talking to her and was now getting closer.

"Why should I believe you," she asked trying to sound brave.

"Cuz who knows you better than..."  The voice said as it surrounded Camila. She closed her eyes and covered her ears but she could hear the last word, "You..."

She uncovered her eyes and saw it standing in front of her.

She inspected the person standing in front of her in shock, because the person standing in front of her was herself...

*End of Dream*

Camila woke up, from her disturbing dream, in a frenzy.

Maybe it was all true. I can't go back to school today. I can't be with Austin... She thought to herself.
