Brook
I wake up again with a jolt, I exhale and decide to get up out of bed, put on a tank top and shorts, and go in the garage since dad made it his workout and fight training room. As I punch the bag I zone out thinking about the dream again, so I don't hear the door squeal open. I am just rapidly punching the bag and next thing I know I am on the ground with Coda on top of me." Brook! What the hell are you doing?!" He screams in my face then I realize the bag is covered in blood, my blood. I look at my hands and they are bloody and bruised, as my brother gets off me he grabs my shoulders and sits me up." Sis, we need to talk about what is eating you."
I groan and get up to walk away, but he glares and grabs my shoulder. He pushes me back down to talk," Brook come on what is going on with you?" I glare at him and huff," It's nothing Coda just... I don't... I've been really stressed with school." I tell him and he gives me the 'you're really trying that lie' look. I huff and collapse, giving up." Brother, I have been having these terrible dreams." He looks at me worried," Is that why you broke down earlier crying on me?" He asks and I nod causing him to hug me tight. "Coda, they are always the same. I am tied to a chair and then you get thrown into the cell with me, but you are more bloodied up every time I dream with worse lashes on your back. I am scared for you Coda, but I didn't want to tell you because I was scared you were going to think I was crazy and..." He cuts me off by kissing my forehead and shushing me. "Aw, little Brook, you shouldn't be thinking that. You are only sixteen for Pete's sake you shouldn't be thinking that. You should be running around being a stupid teenager." We chuckle and I look up at him and nod. " So you don't think I am crazy?" I ask him worried, but he shakes his head smirking," Oh you are crazy for sure you're related to me." He laughs and hugs me tight then goes to get up.
I smirk and jump up on him and tackle him to the ground and we wrestle around laughing. He growls playfully but it sounds so real and terrifying I freeze, but so does he when he realizes I heard it. It almost sounded like an animal, but I shook it off trying to ignore it. He looks at me but then smiles and tries to cover it up by clearing his throat and getting up dusting himself off. I just watch him walk away and stand there surprised, he looks back at me and nods towards the house telling me to get inside. I go into the house and go straight up to my room to get ready for school. I wash myself off then get dressed into white jeans and a black crop top and a white leather jacket. As I walk out my brother glares at me and holds out his arms so I can't walk by. I try to push against him, but he just pushes back smirking." I'm stronger little sis." He says chuckling and I glare and give up trying. I take a step back and huff," What do you want Coda?!" I scream in his face and he huffs telling me to go change.
I turn around and start walking toward my room but once he lets his guard down I dart to get past him and he almost catches me. I laugh because has never been able to catch me ever since I was little, but he always tries to the point it is just funny. I run into the school like a bullet out of the barrel of a gun-running into a whole bunch of people making them mad. He gets to the point he is blocked by a wall of people mad at me and I laugh and stop running. Bending over panting I hear a scream and jump instantly to see who did it and what happened.
Instead of jumping up, I am tackled to the floor with a grunt." I am so sorr... oh it's you." I see that it is my best friend Lucy and laugh." Hey, girly what are you doing down there?" She asks me and I laugh and push her off so she is pinned under me and laugh more. "Oh I don't know why I was, but now why are you down there?" She laughs and I get off her. We both get up and start to walk toward our locker to get our books. When we stop at our lockers, I feel someone shove me back pushing me into my locker.
I huff and look down to attempt not to punch a girl named Sophie. Sophie is the school's, Mis. Priss thinks everyone needs to bow down to her when she walks by. She has hated me since third grade for some unknown reason. I think she just hates that I'm not scared of her and I won't back down from her." Get out of the way you hell-bound." She says to me, But I don't know why she calls me hell-bound, she just randomly started calling me that it was just something she has done since fifth grade.
I close my locker and go to walk away then I feel one of her side chicks shove me to the ground. Sophie laughs and nods to the rest of her friends to pin me down. I go to scream but one of them covers my mouth before I could. I kicked one of them off but I then got punched in the face and stilled for a second feeling the blood start to pool in my mouth. I start to struggle against them again flinging myself around, but then they bang my head on the floor knocking me out.
'Oh no, I'm back here.' I say to myself as I am back in a pitch-black cell tied to a chair with my hands in pain. I hear keys start to jingle to open the door, as I wait for the guy to open it and throw Coda in my hands go loose and fall to my sides. I look questioning what is going on and see a pair of glowing eyes behind me. When I look back to the door it has sprung open and the guy who normally throws Coda lies there still. I go to look back at the eyes but they are gone. Out of the room, I start to run hearing my brother calling," Brook! Brook wake up! Brook are you ok?" I stop abruptly. ' Yes th... that's right I'm passed out...b...but why is it so different this time? What is about to happen that my dream has changed when it has been the same for years?' I question, but I don't have time to think as I lurch into the light and I wake up with a gasp.
