The masks, glitter, beads, feathers, bright lights, and crowds of people filled my mind. I knew what would happen next in this dream but there was no way I could stop it. Blood filled my vision and everything got blurry and all I could think about was the pain, nothing else, no other memories, just pain and blood and screaming and last of all someone shouting my name before the gunshots.
I shot up from bed sweating. The flashes of images from the junior prom slowly faded as I counted my breath trying to make myself relax. Slowly I swung my legs from under the covers and pushed my short, dirty-blond hair away from my face. Looking around my room I found my clock, only 5:00 A.M. crap. I slipped out of bed and crept over to my bathroom.
“Meow”
I flinched, my hand not even an inch above the door knob. “Wasn’t quiet enough was I Beast.” I looked at my smallish, black and white, manx, cat sitting in the half open window.
“Meow” he jumped down from the window and sat down at my feet looking up at me with his piercing pale green eyes.
“I didn’t think so.” I opened the bathroom door and he trotted away. “Crazy cat.”
I took a longer shower than usual so I was just in time to shut off my alarm clock seconds before it went off at 5:15. I looked at Beast who was now lying on my bed with his eyes shut even though I knew he was awake. “So Beast how long do you think before-“
“HEY JAMIE, WAKE UP!” Aunt Patricia pounded on my door and I could hear her foster kids down the hallway slowly waking up and getting ready.
“I’M ALREADY AWAKE AUNTIE!”
“Oh…… ok then.” I could hear her footsteps move away from the door and down the hall.
I sighed. “Jeez Beast you’d think she’d quiet down a bit it’s not even 20 after 5 in the freakin’ morning!”
His eyes stayed closed but his ears twitched.
“You are so weird, honestly it’s like your almost human sometimes.” I gave him a long look. I can’t help but to remember how I found him….. At the crash site……. I shook my head, no, no thinking of that, not now, if ever. I turned around and walked into the bathroom, now was not the time to be arguing with a cat, especially with my sanity being questioned as it was, stupid people not minding their own business…
Ooooook, so that was pretty much chapter 1, I’m gonna work on typing the next chapter now soooo hopefully it won’t be so long before I submit it, I kinda dropped the ball on here for a while lolz. Hope you enjoy :D
