Awake

Every time I opened my eyes the view was the same, I was still in the dream and each time I felt more exhausted, as if being here was draining me. I felt loss until one day I opened my eyes to white ceilings.

I stared at them and I saw someone move around me. It was like a ghost moving through the walls and furniture, I followed the movement, for the first time i had control. It moved around me continuously, never stopping, moving closer to me. I didn't feel scared, I felt nothing towards it, closer, and at hair's width, it stopped and vanished. I didn't know what it was, I barely even cared, but the moment of control that I had gave me a small glimmer of hope. Maybe.

They rest of the day continued as it always did, and by the end of it I was drained, as if I was already merging with the dream, i felt dead. As my body moved to bed, the ghost came again, it moved around me, closer, and closer, this time I felt something cold touch my skin, for a moment I thought I saw Annie, and her voice whispered to my ear, "Ate, do you want to stay here?" In my head I answered no, I wanted to be free, I wanted to get out, and what I want is for all of this to be over.

That moment, I felt a warmth envelope me from the inside and the world around me began to shatter, and before my eyes I awoke to see the last face I wanted to see. The face to Domingo De Leon

"Good morning", he said, I stared at him for two minutes and looked around me, I was in a white room, a table set by the window, a medium wood closet, a night stand and the bed, where I currently laid.

By the nightstand there was a Jar filled with wispy white orb floating up and down as if it was trying to break the jar's lid open. I gazed back to the man that sat on my bedside, I felt a surge of anger as I looked at him, but I needed to keep calm, I swallowed hard and remain emotionless as I stared at him.

"It's amazing the you're awake today. Most days you're just in a trance", he said, I didn't respond, "don't worry your family was informed that you are with me on a business trip." Again I tried my best not to react.

"Nobody in the wedding was hurt, if you were wondering about that", he continued.

"As promised, we allowed that reaper go too".

I must have shown my relief in my face when I heard about Ciel as his face contorted in fury and he clenched his fists. "I should have just killed him, and stop you from thinking of him."

I bit my tongue even more, to stop myself from reacting, hoping that he will just leave me alone but instead the second most hated person crept out of his shadow, it was his demon, but this time it didn't bother wearing any skin. This time I couldn't stop myself from showing my anger.

"I always wonder why I can't kill you", it said as it grabbed my face and throw me back down the pillow, "I'm not going to wait forever for your puny pride to fall, piss me off again and I won't hesitate to kill you". At that point both of them stood and left me, for once I felt in control, didn't feel scared, maybe I can be as fearless as Nina as she did that day. Maybe I can say to myself I won't lose my life for nothing.
