...or So it Seemed
Hazel Arden
*I open my eyes. I am in my room, on my bed trying to comprehend what just happened
Mom
Hazel, dear wake up, you're going to be late. Dad and i need to hurry. Come down stairs, will you?
Surprised to hear her mom's voice, Hazel stares into plain air confused of everything around her.
Hazel Arden
Nothing happened? Was it all a dream? But it felt so real
Hazel gets out of her bed to figure things out.
There's a knock at her window.
Hazel Arden
This window has been making this noise for a while now. Must be the wind.
Hazel walks upto her window to check out the noise thats been irritating her for weeks. She catches a glimpse of herself in the mirror.
Terrified of what she saw, Hazel can feel her heart beating in her throat.
Hazel Arden
There it is, it's the mark. The last thing i felt before everything happened.
The wound below her left eye was still there. Hazel looks down at her hands. Her hands covered in blood.
Hazel Arden
This can't be happening!!
With her trembling hands, she looks back at the mirror. She finds her reflection staring back at her. Blood oozing from everywhere. Unable to even recognise her self. She gets glimpses of the accident. The ground below her begins to quake. Debris of concrete falling down.
Hazel Arden
It was real. It was all real!! What is happening?? Mom!!!!
The knock on her window turns to loud bangs.
Hazel Arden
What is going on? I can't stay here, i need to find mom.
'Wrong way Hazel' a voice calls out. Startled by the voice, she turns to face the window.
'Here, come along'
Hazel hears a voice calling out to her through the window. She carefully opens the window. A bright beam makes it difficult for her to see. When her eyes finally adjusts to the light, she sees someone standing in front of her, outside the window.
Hazel Arden
Is this a dream? Am i dead?
'No,silly. Well, not yet.' the voice calls out. She sees a beautiful young woman standing before her, stretching her arm out.
Eve Gonzales
I am Eve, You might wanna come with me if you don't wanna die here.
Hazel Arden
Mom!!!! There is a weird woman outside the window.
Eve Gonzales
Ouch. Weird is a strong word, don't you think? Also you're mom can't hear you. The building is going to collapse any time now so you can either cry for mom, or stop crying and woman up. Now quick, i don't have all day.
Hazel couldn't believe her eyes. Eve didnt look like any random girl she met before. She had coal black locks falling on her face that she didnt bother enough to stick it behind her ear. She had a pierced eyebrow that reflected the sun rays that hit her face. Dark black eyes that matched her hair. She had a spear sticking out behind her. Her skin seemed soft without even touching it.
Hazel Arden
[ Although trusting a woman i just met isn't the smartest thing to do, i wanna know how it feels to have my hand on her feather skin]
Hazel grabs onto Eve's hand gazing her Hazel eyes into Eve's sunken dead looking eyes.
Hazel is pulled into the light along with Eve, leaving no trace of Hazel's existence behind.
