World Of Fur: Not my world

Nightmare

Adam POV
In absolute silence we sit around the table.
On the table in front of us is the casing I had picked up. This one brass casing represented our greatest fear.
"No doubt about it. It's them." Dad says, breaking the silence.
"Maybe someone else is in charge now." Mom replies timidly.
"Doubtful. She wouldn't let anyone replace her that easily." Dad comments, shaking his head.
"Why would she come back now?" Mira asks.
"I don't know. But it doesn't seem like she's taken an interest in us yet?" Dad replies.
"I agree. From what I could tell they were using the cows as test subjects for their hollow points." I add to the conversation.
"Either way I don't think the kids should know about this yet. I'll talk to Arthur tomorrow. I'll handle this from here." Dad says turning to me.
When we're done I decide to call Jessie and the others to let them know the police would take over the case.
On my way up I run into Seth.
"Don't you think you've done enough to this family." he says shoving me out of the way. As he walks away his words echo in my head like sirens at a prison.
Once upstairs I unplug my phone and call the others to let them know.
I then decide to take a cold shower. While I shower I think about the current situation.
Eden, the group who kidnapped me back in sixth grade has resurfaced after six years.
My guess is that they came back to retake control of the city's black market. However it's strange that their leader hasn't tried to exact her revenge on us yet. Does that mean she's not in the city? It's likely someone else is taking care of things here on her behalf.
Either way it doesn't matter. What I need to do now is clear. For starters I need to let Dad handle it. As for me, I need to train even harder so that I can avoid a repeat of last time.
Once I'm done showering I go to my room. On my desk is a glass of milk with a note that read, "Don't worry, Dad will fix this. For now just sleep well.
Mira."
I decide to follow her advice and after downing the milk I climb into bed and get ready for some shut eye.
Surprise from the narrator. I just want to say that Adam made a mistake when he thought that he would sleep well.
------------------------------------------------------
"Where am I?" I ask myself. The words echo around me, deafening.
I feel wet. And there's something on my face. I can't, move.
I open my eyes. My vision is filled with a greenish liquid. I'm in a tank.
But how did I get here? I was at school with Seth and Mira when.... I blacked out?
I scan the room beyond my glass prison hoping to find a means of escape. I see a lot of science equipment. I assume it's to keep me alive in here. But why?
Suddenly a door on the far side of the room opens.
From the open door spills thick black smoke. Through the smoke I see two blood red eyes staring at me as if into my very soul.
From the smoke emerges a large, pitch black, wolf. Slowly it walks toward me, it's heavy footfalls shaking my glass prison.
The black smoke seems to spill out of the monster's gaping jaws.
Suddenly the sounds of a dragon fill the room as the Beast growls with hunger.
The next moment it lunges forward, gliding across the small room. It's head turns sideways as it jumps at me. It's demonic paws reach out at my tank.
And then it smashes the fragile glass and bites into the soft flesh of my neck.
------------------------------------------------------
My body shoots upright as I scream in silent terror.
I can taste the salt of sweat as I lick my dry lips, still trembling from the dream.
As I lay back down my phone suddenly PINGS as I get a message.
I take my phone and, after seeing that it's around three in the morning, I check to see who the message is from.
It's from Jessie.
She wants to know whether I'm still awake or not.
I decide to call her.
"Can't sleep?" I ask.
"I had a nightmare about that night they rescued ya." she replies.
"Same." I say.
"I have this shitty feeling that sometin's wrong. It feels like the devil is watchin me." She says after a minute of silence.
"The problem is that we know exactly who this devil is." I comment.
"Ya know, ya still haven't told me exactly what happened to ya that night." she reminds me yet again.
"One day I will tell you everything." I repeat the same answer I always give.
"That's what ya always say." she laughs.
"Hey Adam?" she asks after a minute of silence.
"Yeah?" I reply knowing exactly what her next words are going to be.
"Have ya decided on us yet?" she asks.
I feel my heart sink into my stomach.
About a year ago Jessie had told me that she has feelings for me. She told me that I could wait until I figure things out.
The problem isn't that I don't feel the same, because I do. The problem is that I don't trust myself to be faithful. I'm ashamed to admit that I have feelings for more than one person.
Because of this I avoid romantic relationships since I don't want to break the other person's trust in me.
Jessie is the only person who knows this secret of mine.
"I'm sorry Jessie. I don't think I'm ready for a relationship yet." I reply, a tear rolling down my cheek.
"I thought as much. That girl you brought today. Is she the other one?" she asks.
I can hear the sadness in her voice. If I really listen I can actually hear her sobbing.
"Yeah." I reply.
"I see. Don't worry, I won't start treating her like shite because of it." she comments.
"I know." I say. We spend the rest of the night just talking about everything but our personal lives.
You are probably wondering why he told Jessie the truth about Sakura. Well it's simple. They had promised each other that they would never lie to one another about anything. Adorable isn't it?
