"You can't run away from your fate!" a voice kept screaming,as I ran through a dark and deserted street.
I wasn't really sure of what was chasing me and what he was talking about,as I ran through the street the voice kept getting closer to me,at a point I spotted an abandoned house and decided to take cover there.I quickly jumped into the house through a broken window,I peeked through the window as whatever that was chasing me kept going, but I was only able to hear the voice I couldn't see whatever it was that was saying that.I held my chest panting as the thing walked past me, but I wasn't alone in the room.
"Hey Mike"
I turned to see that Chloe was sitting on the couch there,stroking a black cat,I couldn't tell that was Chloe because her hair was very rough and she looked older than I remembered her.
"What are you doing here Chloe?" I asked, moving closer to her.
"Why are you running Mike?" She dropped the cat on the couch and stood up to face me.
This wasn't the Chloe I remembered last, this was a thirty years old Chloe or something like that, the only reason I was able to tell it was her was her voice,guess that never changes.
"Something's chasing me" I said, pointing at the window.
She drew closer to me and was now rubbing my chest in a romantic way.
"What are you doing Chloe?" I tried to pull myself out from her touch.
"Mike, please don't leave me" She pulled me back.
Her voice was so soothing that I immediately fell under her spell.
"I will never leave Chloe"
"Yeah, how long will it take you to realise?" She said, resting her chest on my body now.
"To realise what Hun?" I asked.
"To realise that you can't you can't run away from your fate Matusa"
Her voice suddenly changed from sweet to terrifying and then she turned to a beast with large curved horns and red glowing eyes.
"No no no!" I tried to run but the window through which I entered had turned into a wall of boiling magma.
"What do you want want from me?" I asked slowly moving backwards.
"You must embrace your fate" the beast roared.
Not only did Chloe turn into a terrifying beast with large claws, hideous but gigantic fangs and a tail I think was the only normal part of the body, but the cat she was stroking when I entered had turned into half cat half bat,it now had bat wings and was trying to pull me down.
"Get away from me you filthy thing" I was trying to avoid running into that wall of fire.
"You are nothing without me" the beast stomped it's feet on the ground and I was knocked off my feet.
When I looked up he was already standing over me.
"You are mine Matusa" he opened his mouth wide and was about to swallow me,I had nothing else to do rather than to scream.I quickly sprang up from my bed and I was quite relieved that it was just a bad dream in the morning.
"Ahh did Chloe bite you or something?" Aurora had been watching me all this while.
"How long have you been there?" I asked bringing my feet down from my bed.
"Long enough to know you were dreaming about Chloe" She bounced up from her bed.
"And what did you hear?"
"At first I was enjoying the dream, the part where you told Chloe that you will never leave her" She said.
"And"
"Then you suddenly started screaming, almost scaring the hell out of me"
That was no nice dream,I would even say that this was the worst nightmare that I have ever had.
"We have to get ready for school Aurora"
I got up from the bed and made my way to the door acting as if the dream was nothing to worry about.
"Wait, aren't you going to tell me what happened?"
"It's nothing serious Aurora" I said and shut the door behind me.
*****************************************************************
I came to school earlier than usual today and Chloe wasn't in school yet by that time,and miss Nicole was already in class with all of us on our seats except Chloe.
"Alright everyone get ready for class" miss Nicole said.
Chloe didn't usually come late to school, and she doesn't even like the idea of coming late to school, but she was going to be late if she does not enter this class in the next five minutes.
As soon as the bell for class to begin rang, someone badged in through the door and it was Chloe.
"Miss Chloe" called miss Nicole.
"Yes ma" Chloe answered squeezing the ropes on her bag,I could tell she was feeling embarrassed already.
"Nice timing" She nodded as if she was complementing her."Why are you arriving at this hour?"
"I'm sorry ma, but I had to help my parents finish up something's at home"
"Ok,go and sit down"
"Thanks ma" Chloe thanked her and quickly made her way to her desk.
"You are very lucky" I whispered to her after she sat down.
"Yeah I really hate arriving late"
Immediately she turned to look at me,her face suddenly changed into that of the old Chloe that I saw in my dream.
"Are you okay Mike?" She waved her hands over my face.
"Oh yeah I'm okay" I quickly nodded,her face had gone back to normal now.
"Ok" She said slowly and turned to face the class.
Miss Nicole started the class, she was talking about the effects of drug abuse,I was concentrating until she mentioned the word hallucination,an effect of drug abuse that makes you think you are seeing something whereas there's nothing there.I started comparing the things that had been happening to me and hallucination, I saw things that no one else could see but, what made to believe that those things were real was the fact that I've never taken any drug in my life.Then I started thinking about the dream I had Chloe was there, but she called me Matusa before turning into that hideous beast,that was the same name Develee called me, which meant that there was a connection to everything.I was too lost in thoughts that I didn't hear when miss Nicole told us to take out our pencils.
"Are you with my pencil?" Chloe turned to me,her face had now transformed into that of the beast I saw in my dream,I didn't try to scream or anything because if I did everyone would think that I'm crazy and miss Nicole may send to the toilet for disturbing her class.
"Are you okay?" Chloe asked, my face was completely frozen,I didn't know what to do, what was all this?.
"I think I forgot it in my locker" I quickly stood up,and slowly walked out of the class without even taking permission from miss Nicole.
"Who was that?" She had noticed that someone left but she didn't see the face of the person.
"That was Mike" a girl in the front row answered.
I could hear my heart beating rapidly fast as I walked through the hallway, this was more than me.
"I need to have my face washed" I muttered and quickly made my way to the bathroom.
As I was washing my face and looking in the mirror,I was expecting the water to turn into blood or something but it didn't,then suddenly I heard the door creak.
"Who is that?" my heart beat became faster.
