Chapter 1: Lovely Night

Everything is fine not until the word 'was' replaced the word 'is'.

I am Helena, 16 years old.

It was 4 years ago when I still enjoy my life. My childhood. My life being a 12 years old girl. Not until that day came when thing happen to me.

4 years ago...

Like what I used to do, I finished my homework first before going to bed.
Hay. I am so grateful for this day.  Finally! after two years of being classmates, my crush noticed me.
Not just that, he sat on the chair beside me and asked my name.
For years of being classmates with him, there's a big chance he don't know my name because I'm too shy
to meddle with them. But now, him approaching me makes me like him more than before.

Thinking of him makes me smile for no reason and forget what time is it.
I thought I will just think him for the whole night. I thought I wouldn't sleep on that night.

I wish I didn't slept on that night...

I know that this is a dream but I wish that this wouldn't be just a dream.
I am standing in the center of our school playground when my crush approach me. I still don't know what to react when he's infront of me. My hearts thumping really fast but I didn't felt scared, I am totally happy. My crush told me to run and so he will chase me. I run like what he said.

When he's about to reach me the scene change and now I'm in the dark.

As I roam my eyes all I can see is black but I know I'm in our house. The over-flowing happiness I felt earlier changed to fear.

I'm afraid of dark.

I need my mom right now.

I was about to call mom but there's an unfamiliar silhoutte, a very blurred silhoutte holding a knife infront of my  mom. Mom's still vague of what's happening. I screamed her name but there's no voice coming out of my mouth. I was about to do something when I heard my mom's yelp. I want to go to her. I want to stop whoever he is but my body's too stoop to move even a step. I still scream even there's no words coming out of my mouth just to stop whoever he is! I need to do something and not just stand here infront just to watch this! Even if this is just a dream it still hurts. Tears kept falling into my eyes.

How I wish I could be these tears, that even in this nightmares they can still move..

This is just a dream right? A horrible nightmare to be exact? Someone please wake me up from this..
Mom please wake me up from this..
