Present time
2020, New York.
I stood there staring at a girl who sat on the ground, her head on her kneels while she shakes uncontrollably. Hey Miss are you okay? I asked out of pity.
She stared at me but before I could study her features she held my neck strangling me.
The time is near just wait a little bit and I'll be there before you know it, she says with a sadistic smirk on her face.
All will be revealed was the last thing I heard before I woke up.
I woke up again from another antagonising dream. I don't know why I have this series of dreams and as time grew the lesser i cared. It's like broken pieces scattered around me and I can't put them together which makes it harder for me to understand.
The dreams are always about a beautiful girl crying and begging me not to do something I don't have a clue about but this time something was different.
She wasn't crying instead she had a look of hatred and pain, she said the time is near that all would soon be revealed. Cold shivers ran through my spine and I couldn't help but shudder in fear.
The only thought on my mind was what went down on my twentieth birthday.
I thought maybe as I grew older it would stop but how wrong I was. I've clocked 26 and its still there, haunting my dreams and terrorizing my thought day and night.
It then became a part of my life as time grew I learned to just take it as I see it but didn't stop the surge of fear I feel whenever I have those dreams
At first when it started I tried hypothesis and therapy but they never helped in the way I needed them to.
You may all wonder who I am and why am having these series that even I don't understand. My name is Lazarus James Neil am currently the CEO of Neil Enterprise and I think am going insane.
It all started on my twentieth birthday, That day something happened to me that was in reversible.
When I woke up that morning i felt different in a way. I thought maybe it was the perks of being an adult but how wrong and naïve I was.
My parents are one of the richest families in New York so they planned the birthday of the century for me even though all wanted was to sleep all day long.
The party went well, everything was perfect until I saw my girlfriend kissing a random stranger and I flipped. I didn't want to cause a scene so I left to party to clear my head. I drove for what felt like hours and slowly my anger faded away with the wind. I didn't know what happened but I drove into an unfamiliar place.
I remembered clearly that it was late in the evening when I left my party and it was suppose to be morning by now, maybe 2 or 3am but it was mid day there and I was walking in unfamiliar cloths.
It was like I was in the medieval times, my body was moving and I couldn't control it. I walked up to the Lady that has been haunting my dreams but her eyes looked different they where black instead of the unusual light purple.
She whispered some thing to me and walked away. I couldn't understand what they where talking about, I think they where talking in ancient Egyptian language. I closely followed the woman and they went to a secret place, started kissing and hugging each other. I just stood there kissing an unknown woman for no reason and like magic her behavior change for love to hate as she stopped what they where doing and stared at me.
At first she was talking to the person who controlled the body but now she stared at me dead in the eyes and I just had this feeling that she was looking at me not him and I shivered uncontrollably.
Something about her eyes made me shudder in fear and she stared speaking English in a tick ancient.
Who brought you here? So at last you found a way? She says laughing uncontrollably. Your biggest mistake Smith was bring him here.
Then she started chanting something in a foreign language and I woke up on my bed.
My parents said I came home on my own and I went straight to my room. I knew it wasn't just a dream it felt so real that every time I think about it i couldn't help but wonder what if my mind was really playing tricks on me. Nothing about that pieces of memory was terrifying but I couldn't help myself whenever I cower in fear.
I put my thoughts at the back of my mind, did my morning routine, wore my tailored suit and went out.
On my way down I saw my nanny and I mentally growled. James my boy, come here and eat, i made your favorite .
Good morning Mama I went to her kissing her cheek and sat down even though I had no intentions of eating but I couldn't say no to Mama Rose, she's like a mother to me.
The smell of bacon and scrambled eggs hit my nostril and I thanked God I decided to eat.
James are you started having those dreams again? You look pale.
No am not it stopped months ago. Okay my boy, I got scared a little bit just now. I just smiled in return and yes I told Mama rose, she's... She's Mama rose, when I was at my worst she was there for me when my parents weren't.
The dreams finally stopped for two months or so after various therapy and hypothesis sessions but they came back in full force the third month and I didn't have the heart to tell her.
I ate my breakfast, kiss Mama rose goodbye and went on my way.
I arrived at my company in approximately 30minutes my employees who passed me greeted me but I didn't bother to answer or acknowledge them. I went to my office without sparing anyone a single glance before someone knocked on my door gracing me with there unwanted appearance.
WHAT, I practical screamed.
Stephanie my stand-in secretary walked in slightly trembling. Sir am sorry for the disturbances but Miss Jennings is here for the interview for the secretary position.
Miss who? I asked with confusing laced on my voice it was unlike me to forget anything so didn't understand why she was her.
She's the person you single handedly picked for the interview last week sir.
Hmm give me her files I said with an outstretched hand and she hurriedly handed me the files. I checked her file and I understood why I picked her, she has good grades and good experience at a young age.
Send her in Miss Fox.
Yes Sir.
I was analysing the files on my desk when I heard a knock on my door. Come in.
Some one walked in and still I didn't look up. Take a seat Miss Jennings I motioned for her to seat down but my eyes where glued to the files. It wasn't like I was really reading the files but I felt uneasy it was like a force was stopping me from looking up.
She sat down and still my eyes where glues to the documents until she cleared her throat and I cautiously looked up.
And God I wished I didn't.
