Death. Death everywhere. All I could see was blood. Tears streamed down my face as I watched the bodies on the floor life less. Then I saw to people fighting above me. They looked familiar.
All of a sudden and young girl pulled my skirt. I looked down and she said to me, " You're our last hope. Don't give in to the darkness".
I shot up from my bed, panting heavily. It was a dream. A really weird dream. I rubbed my face and glanced at the clock. It was 8:24 am. I get off my bed and go to my bathroom.
I had a long soothing shower. As I was doing my hair in front of the mirror I noticed the tiny golden streaks in my eyes. I ignored them and continued brushing my hair.
After I was content with how I looked I put on some short shorts and a crop top. Today I finally continue making dance videos with Asmaa.
I walk to the sound and dance studio. I saw Asmaa doing a few stretching exercises. "You're up early", I said and stretched my arm. " You feeling okay Naj?", she asked.
I raised a brow at her. "What do you mean? I've never been better". " Its just you passed out yesterday, and I was worried. We basically had to make Benjamin carry you to your room", she said and my face reddened. "Why would you let him carry me? Why didn't Said carry me?", I said embarrassed.
" That's all you picked up from what I just said? ", Asmaa said and rolled her eyes. " I don't remember passing out", I said. She sighs and says, "We'll talk about it later. Let's do this video".
I nod and we spend two hours recording. " Okay let's take a break", I said and Asmaa nodded picking up her water bottle. "You need to work on that back flip though", Asmaa said to me. " What? I thought it was perfect ", I pouted.
" Meh fifty fifty", Asmaa said with a teasing smile. I rolled my eyes and caught Benjamin walking to the sound studio with Wilson. He glanced at me and I stared back. My face heated up when I remembered what Asmaa said to me.
Then Benjamin looked down at my legs. Pervert much?
I glared at him and he smirked. Maybe shorts wasn't a good idea today. He looked away and closed the door to the studio when Wilson entered.
"Someone has a crush", I heard Asmaa say and I turned at her so fast it was like my neck didn't exist. " What? Me? Nah", I waved it off casually. "Mhm, keeping lying to yourself love", she said with a chuckle.
"Leave my love life and come help me with my backflips", I said and stood up. " Oh so you agree that you suck at back flips", she laughed. "One of these days I'll kick you out", I mutter. " Until then I can tease you all I like", she smirked at me.
After filming the video, me and Asmaa went to the kitchen to make lunch. We were in the middle of making burgers for everyone when the door bell rang.
"Saif, can you get that for me?", I shouted and he replied, " Yeah yeah okay ". It was silent for a moment until....
" I'm back bitches", a voice said. I'd recognize it anywhere. "Lisaaaa", me and Asmaa turned and crushed her in a hug. " Okay okay, I need my bones together not broken", she said in between laughs.
"We missed you", I said and she flipped her hair. " Who wouldn't ", she says. " I wouldn't ", a deep voice says and we turn. " What the heck is he doing here?", Lisa points at Wilson. "How do you know him?", Asmaa asked a brow raised. Lisa fumbled a bit then said," Well, I did a dance video with one of Benjamin's songs, and Wilson happened to be around at the time. The rest is history", she said and narrowed her eyes at Benjamin and Wilson.
Benjamin looked amused while Wilson looked annoyed. "Hey little Lee, I had a feeling we'd meet soon", Benjamin said. Oh look she has her own pet name.
" You're older than me by just two years, I'm not a kid, and my name is Lisa", she says and stomps her foot. Benjamin lets out a laugh. Wow I've never seen him laugh. "I see you've still got your sense of humor", he said walking past us. " I see you're still a dick head", Lisa retorts and Benjamin waves her off.
"So Naj you giving me a house tour or nah?", Lisa said and left her bags. I grinned and pulled her along. " This is your room, well its our room. I know you don't like being alone in a room", I said and she smiles. "Good, someone to annoy at night", she smirks and I grinned.
Excuse me for being excited. I haven't seen her in two weeks. Lisa is a professional dancer. I mean me and Asmaa are professionals but she's on another level. She features in top stars music videos and has over 3.5 million subscribers on YouTube. So yeah she's amazing. And very busy.
" And here is the music and dance studio", I said. "Wait so you mean Benjamin and Wilson actually live here?", she asked and I nodded. " Ugh great. I'm gonna be annoyed for the rest of my stay here", she said and rolled her eyes.
"I didn't know you guys were..", I cleared my throat and added, " close". She narrowed her eyes at me and said. "Ew gross no. He's cute but no. He pretty much friend zoned me. Sees me as a little sister", she puffs air in her cheeks.
I don't blame Benjamin though. She's like an adorable child. I heard the doorbell ring again and I went to open it. When I did a man stood there with cuts and blood over him. His shirt looked kind off burnt as if he just survived an explosion.
" H-help me", he whispered and fell face first on the floor. I gasped and screamed for Benjamin to come over. He rushed toward me and looked at the person on the floor. He looked outside as if searching for someone.
"Close the door", he told me and I did. He carried the person on his shoulder and went toward the bathroom. " Where's the first aid kit?", he asked and I picked it. "Let me dress his wounds", I said and he nodded.
I washed off the blood. "Oh my God", I muttered. He was covered in bruises and cuts. " What even happened to him?", I muttered and started dressing his wounds. He winced when I put a bit of spirit on his cut and his eyes opened slowly.
His first words were, "He's coming".
