Fatal Redemption | J.J.K.

I

PAIGE;
Ive had the same dream every night for weeks now.

—

It's raining and snowing as I'm running from something. My breaths are windless and out of line. I can't get it steady because I'm scared.

The sleet is making the ground muddy as I tend to slip here and there but still manage to run from... the monster that's chasing me.

I'm running deeper and deeper into the woods we call the 'Summit' that's beside my house.

As I run I see that the trees are passing by faster than I've ever imagined.

Suddenly I stop, I want to keep running but my legs won't let me. It's like my dream wants me to see this, it wants me to be haunted.

The shadow-like figure stands there, almost blending in with the dark, looking at me with its red eyes. It hunches down in pain and screeches as it transforms into something deadlier.

The moon moves out from the clouds and I gasp when I see what it looks like under the faint light. It's back was hunched and its nails were long, it could cut bark off a tree with one swipe.

I start to walk back and almost slip, making a sound that seemed to echo everywhere.

Everything changed to slow motion as I look back towards the monster. It screeches and starts to run towards me.

I turn and start to run the opposite way as I regained my senses. Everything went back to normal as I hear the monster catching up to me.

It grabs ahold of me and I scream out.

It holds me by my neck and I kick it's stomach trying to get it away from me.

I manage to get dropped from their grasp and crawl back, gasping for air. The mud and sleet starting to drench my clothes.

The monster snarls and opens its mouth to reveal its fangs. I'm starting to cry as it walks towards me.

At this point I'm too scared to move, the only thing I can do is back crawl away. That is until I'm dragged back with its nails digging into my ankle

I scream out as it drags me closer to him. I'm blinded by my tears and the rain as It flips me onto my back.

It crawls over me and bites my neck, I scream out in pain. It felt like it was extracting poison into my bloodstream.

I hit it numerous times, I grab a stick that was lying on the floor beside me and stab it, causing it to shriek out in pain.

It takes it out and looks back at me raising its hands. It was going to end me right there until it gets pushed off of me.

My neck is gushing blood as I whimper at the pain. I cry more as I look at my hands covered in blood.

I leave my hand on my neck and start to back away only to get a sight of what's happening.

The monster is fighting with another person, except they have black eyes. No matter how hard I try I can't see its face.

I back up and hit a tree in the middle of this mess. I gasp in pain as I feel my life slipping through my hands.

I'm losing blood and I can't stop it. It keeps spilling, my eyes start to become heavy.

I start to see my life play through my eyes, I see my family one final time then it changes to someone with no face.

I can't see their face but I can tell it's a boy. He made me... happy? I could hear my laugh and see the times we hung out. He made me whole, he was always there for me.

I can never see his face in my dreams, but I know him. Like I've known him all my life.

—

It feels like something terrible is going to happen when I see him. But at the same time, I'm not scared at all.

I want to see him.

But I never get to.

And then I die

—

I cry out louder, this time the pain is burning. I scream, it's killing me now, I can feel it.

I feel someone pick me up and set me on their lap, holding me, "I'm here Paige, I'm here" they say over and over almost sounding distorted.

"I'm sorry Paige" he whispers choking back a sob

My eyelids are too heavy to see how he looks like but I could see his sad bright blue eyes peering into mine.

"Paige don't leave me. I'm sorry I'm sorry" he whimpers into my hair as he rocks me and I slowly breath out. I hear more footsteps surrounding us as I start to die

"I love you" I hear before my heart gives out

—

I always jolt awake in sweats when he says those words. I don't even know who the person is, but the love feels... somewhat real.

I get the shivers when I think about it.

At first I was terrified I was losing my mind, until I realized that it wouldn't be no great loss.

I'm starting senior year soon so insanity's inevitable.
