It's dark.
I can't see anything. Where am I?
Water.... I feel like I'm laying on top of water....
"Sakura... My little cherry."
Granma?
"Nana, Is that you?", I call for my nana...
I miss her so much.
"Saku, don't forget darling."
The gentle voice of my nana echoes through this dark space. I want to see her.
"The story I've always told you. It is the key to untangling your fate. You are more special than you think, Saku. You must remember", My nana says.
"What? What do you mean Nana?",
A story?
"It is waiting for you, little cherry. I love you darling."
I try to search for nana, but all I see is darkness, except... The water below my face.
I see my reflection....
No... This is not me.
No... This is me...
I look... different, and pale.
"Saku- saku-",
Is that Nana?
"Sakura what happened to you sweetie?!"
I can feel my shoulders being shaken by someone.
I slowly open my eyes and saw my mom, all worried.
"Saku! What happened to you?! I almost called the ambulance!", My mom asks me.
I placed my hand on my forehead, what exactly happened to me? What did I just saw? What was that dream all about?
"M-ma... " Should I tell her?
"Hm?", My mom looks at me with deep concern in her eyes.
"I-I...think I saw a really huge spider on the shower head... I thought it would jump on me.", I lie.
"What? How would such a thing enter our house?", She says
"I don't know..."
"Are okay Saku?", My mom asks.
"Yea. I am.", I said
"Alright. But you really scared me Saku, you probably watched too much scary movies, and I didn't expect you to pass out over a spider.", She half smiles.
"Sorry ma... I'll go take a shower now.", We both stand up.
"Are you still going to school?", She asks.
After what I saw, It's better than staying here.
"Yep. I'm fine really.", I said.
"Okay. Don't forget your vitamins, you always do. You forgetful child.", she responds.
"Ugh yea yea", I remembered what my nana said.
We walk out the bathroom and I decided to take a shower downstairs.
"Ma... It's really just us in here, right?", I ask my mom.
"Of course, who else could be in this house?", My mom says.
I felt a sudden chill down my spine. Realizing what I just saw.
