My name is Cecilia. Not that Cecilia The Vamps & Shawn Mendes have been singing to in case you would be wondering, but that does not make me any less of an incredibly special and unique Cecilia. And no, it's not because i'm the typical girl to be chosen prom destruction queen and not because everyone admires me for wrecking their end-of-year pleasure. Not even because of my 5.0 GPA, my charming emerald eyes either. Not due to my bookworm dub, nor to my talent for over-roasting the yearly turkey for the family assembly.

It all started when i was fourteen. I had big dreams and a fragile heart. I was staring at the ceiling during an arts lesson, when my heart turned a-pounding. Those pulses were the most rapid I ever felt rage on my frightened chest. I wanted to cry, but also desperately to look at my reflection in the mirror and tell her it was okay. Tell her I was okay. I had this weird impulsion, and that stupid certainty that everything had a meaning, and that these creeping knocks on my ribe cage door were absolutely meant to be. The blood started blazing, scorching my temples while i was aching a little more with every second that passed. My thoughts were elsewhere, running like a dark mist light enough to fusion with the wonderfully scented spring air. I WERE ELSEWHERE.

My consciousness slipped away, i felt it slip away. Beforehand, I felt my brain ready to explode, my temperature rising to a degree that i never knew was possible. I was almost swimming in my sweat, my heart unstoppable, scared, and hurting until i thought it could be torn apart at any second. I was shaking, shaking, and shaking time and again, and all of it before my consciousness decided to leave the group chat.

I woke up in a cold, freezing room. Ice cubes on my forehead, a warm hand on my shoulder. Blue iceberg eyes watering my gaze.

little did i know a new era had just begun.
