Chapter 1

There she was sitting in her bed panting and wanting to grasp for air while her lungs failed to function. She knew what this was, but she refused to accept the reality that they were back, but it wasn't like they left in the beginning; they just hid themselves far away from her for almost a month, so she had wished they would stay there, but fate had ways to show her she would never be enough or worthy of a break for all she knew she was a murderer. She knew what triggered this; she knew he was back and had it out for her. Maybe this was the way her body tried to welcome and warn her for what was to come, but she already knew she always knew this realization made it even harder for her to breathe. Her intakes got sharper and shorter while she felt hotter and stressed by each second that passed.

She needed to stop this; she knew this, but she just couldn't function. Her mind was working on Overdrive; everything was going fast to fast. She was now on the verge of collapsing; she was running out of options and time to stop herself from doing something stupid in this dire situation, so in her desperate and extremely anxious state, she just banged her head against the wall to stop it all. Maybe this would work in the same way it worked when he did.

Everything stopped

"Finally quit, "she whispered to herself before she felt a sharp pain and everything went black. The feeling of everything slowing down overcomes her. She knew this feeling and welcomed the darkness with open arms.

"Fuck "cursed Raven  as she awoke from her unplanned long nap, with a dull feeling in the back of her head like a little hammer slowly but precisely bagging needles into the back of her brain. 'Just fucking awesome'. This was the bringer of the nastiest headache in the world. This didn't go as she planned. Maybe she banged her head too hard on the wall, now wondering how he did it in her memory. It hurt as hell, but she never passed out. Just from one, it just silenced her mind. While wondering, she looked at the watch and said, 'Well, fuck,' cutting her train of thoughts while letting a deep breath out. Noticing she was late and trying to get as fast as she could out of bed, this rushing was

stopped right away when she felt a speck of the headache she already foreshadowed. After a while, she started to move again after gathering her composition, but at a slower pace. At this rate, she knew she wouldn't make it to school before lunchtime, so she just went on, not caring anymore.

'It is what it is.' After getting ready and making sure everything was nicely wrapped and covered that needed to be, she went downstairs. She skipped breakfast as she had almost nothing in the fridge and no money, meaning the medicine she was going to take and water were going to be enough for school, and a snack as dinner would do it. 'Maybe we will share some food at the lunchbreak.' With that in mind, she grabbed her bag and headed out of the house.

The school halls were empty; it was break, and the students were scattered. The one she saw gave her dirty looks or talked loudly enough about her so she could hear their slander. This wasn't new to her, and now she barely acknowledges these petty acts; she simply chose her own peace over them; they weren't worth it. So she made it silently with fine composure to the only person in this school she could tolerate, like she didn't care, not even bothering to give any sign of acknowledgement to these people.
