🐾
By the cliff-end and her baby wrapped in her arms, she stood, the air thick with tension and dread and something more. All her world in her arms, she knew she would do anything to protect it even if it means giving up her life. She thought she could run from the darkness and she had tried but like light, darkness had a reach over everything including the undead; and it had found her and her world too. The wind blew across her face lifting her veil a bit and giving a clear view of her face. Beauty like that of an angel was the only word to describe her pale face, and her eyes, blue with gold flecks which sparkled in the bright sunlight. She leaned in closer to her baby and whispered a name.Emiliana.
🌓The hot water dripped down her back calming her nerves, she had been on edge since she woke up with her mind still drifting back to her dream, for the first time, she had seen the mystery woman's face. So beautiful and peaceful, her blood red lips which were curved in a smile as she had looked at her baby, with her long black hair cascading down her back. Emiliana knew at the back of her mind the woman looked a lot like her but it made no sense to her. She hoped the hot early morning shower would help calm her thoughts but it had no effect. Tomorrow was the Saturday the 15th, her birthday, but she felt no excitement towards it, just a sense of dread, like something bad was going to happen. Almost like the way she felt anytime she remembered the woman and baby in her dreams. Despite the way she felt, she still hoped for the best even though that was wishful thinking on her part.
She walked out of the jacuzzi and wrapped a big white fluffy towel round her body and also a smaller one for her long hair. Walking back into her room she headed for her walk-in closet to pick an outfit for the day. She had plans to go shopping for some personal items, and to get some new books from the local book store, she had read all she had in her room; and also to drive around town to clear her thoughts. She settled for a blue bum shorts and white crop top paired with white Nike sneakers, she wanted to dress casual for the day. Quickly dressing up and applying little makeup, she grabbed her small Louis Vuitton bag-pack and made her way downstairs. By the looks of the empty kitchen, her dad was out early today and she was sure Mia would be in the gym sweating it out like she did every Saturday morning.
She decided to change her routine today. Instead of having her breakfast at home and driving her car to the mall, she pulled out her phone to call an uber, which would take her to little cafe she knew in town for breakfast before she heads to the mall. Living at the outskirts of town meant her uber would take a while to arrive so she headed to the gym to have a little chat with her aunt. She found her aunt on the treadmill, her body glistening with sweat, in black tights and a sports bra, with her hair tied in a messy bun and still looking gorgeous as ever.
"I still don't see why you workout so much. Your body is perfect." she eyed Mia's elegant body.
Mia let out a short laugh before she shut off the machine. "Of course i know" Emiliana rolled her eyes as a smile played on her lips while Mia grabbed a towel to clean off her sweat. "But i like to keep fit and healthy." Mia did a once over on her niece and smirked. "You look hot. Have a date?"
Emiliana blushed. "No I don't. I need to go shopping for stuffs."
"I thought we agreed on shopping tomorrow." Mia put her hands on her hips as she gave her niece a pointed look.
"It's just some personal things, no big deal." She smiled at Mia who smiled back.
"Good. I have a lot of plans for tomorrow." Mia clapped her hands excitedly and Emiliana groaned internally. She knew she was in for hell tomorrow.
Her phone pinged indicating her uber had arrived.
"Gotta go. My uber's here." She pecked Mia on the cheek and made her way out of the gym.
