"....where am I again?" As soon as she says this , Alex finds herself in a cold and dark place unable to move when suddenly she hears the cries of little children. She turns around and the surrounding changes into a field where a little girl is bawling her eyes out with a weapon in hand.
"But he's my cousin, Father. I don't want him to die" said the girl while she trembled as her hand held the knife against the little boy's neck who supposedly is her older cousin brother.
"If you don't kill him now, he will be a threat to your position some day. And that is not something the Elders want so just do what you've been told. If you still refuse then it'll be your little brother in your place and I believe you don't want that, do you?" Hearing this question, she wiped away her tears and took one last look at her cousin, he's eyes somewhat pleading her to make it as painless as possible. So she raised her knife and within a split second she slashed his throat.
The images around her started changing again into a whole different scenario. The sky covered in smog, buildings burning , people running around frantically and her dear little brother lying in her arms soaked in his own blood.
At this point, she just sat there blankly on the ground when she saw her Father at a distance trying to tell her something. She looked closely and the surroundings just abated when she heard her Father, "... Emotions makes you weak, just let it go. Always remember who you are". And then his voice just drifted in the distance while Alex slowly opened her eyes which gleamed under the sunlight coming through the windows.
'Remember who I am, huh? It's been a while since I had these dreams', she thought to herself as she got out of bed and head towards the bathroom. She went in and freshened up real quick. As she came out, her reflection in the mirror came into her sight.
Heterochromatic eyes, white eye lashes, plump lips with a shade of pink and her long black hair with silver sideburns....wait, silver sideburns?! " Ugh, the dye didn't stay long this time, do I have to color my hair all over again?" she exclaimed in an annoyed tone.
She was about to head back into her bathroom when Alice abruptly barged into her room like always and "Alexxx!!! Are you up yet?!" , being loud as well. " Uhh, what happened to your hair? Didn't you dye it yesterday?" asked Alice. "Shouldn't I be the one who should be asking you that question since you were the one who bought the color?" Alex replied. "Hey, don't blame me, it's you who has poor dyeing skills" Alice retorted in a just voice.
