10, 000 miles

Lily I woke up with a gasp. My eyes wide open and my breathing labored. Sweat was covering all of my body and my shirt was sticking to my shivering form. Feeling tears prick my eyes, I forced myself to be calm.Not this againIt was the same dream I was having almost two years. The same feeling of fear , the same place and time. I never knew what happened next when I heard myself screaming because every time I did, I woke up gasping, covering in sweat. This happened every night since.Since that day I run away from my family.They were the worst people in my life. My mother didn't care about me, father was always angry at me about everything I did wrong so he put his hands on me every time he got the chance and my brother? He fled from them about time when I was only nine. He abandoned me because he was a coward and scared. Didn't want the same future like mine. I was really hurt and disappoin

My footsteps were loud in the silent night. My heart was leaping out of my chest and I felt like I was about to pass out from the fears of the creature who was not far behind and I was being chased by that thing.Looking behind, I didn't even see anything but I knew it was somewhere there, watching and running like me. Like a lurking cat in the silent room who is about to jump on the little mouse.After awhile it became silent and I forced myself to stop so I can normally breathe through my nose. My lungs were burning and my head was spinning from the run. Checking my surroundings, I spotted the lake near the central park. The sky was clear and I was very relieved it's not raining now.All around me was silence, only the wind was heard. The creature was gone. Feeling exhausted, I found the bench were I can sit down and waited a little while my heart is yet again calm but when that thought crossed my mind, I heard the footsteps nearb

LilyAs I finished the evening, I noticed that it was raining outside. I didn't expect it to rain, especially when it had been sunny all day when I stepped out of my house this morning. Realizing that I had not taken my umbrella from my house, I only had to do with my trench coat, which had a hood.The whole day went through a lot of stress when I found out that Jerry was in big debt. I called all the credit institutions, I did everything, but so far they all refuse to help. I was desperate. But now? I was tired and ready to go home. As I walked through the door, locking the library's door shut as usual, I looked up at the dark clouds that were in the sky making the rain pour. The day could not have ended better, a note to sarcasm. Now I was all shivering with cold and my clothes were soaking wet.Making my way home, I suddenly stopped when I didn't see the path where I usually go. My plain coat and dress underneath were sticking to

LilyThe next day I was in much better mood actually, compared to the yesterday. Even all the problems about library's debt, I made myself think positive so I can stress less. Remembering my interaction with the handsome stranger who disappeared, I really don't know where, it made me feel butterflies in my stomach. Something about him was really off but I don't know what. I just know - it was just the beginning for that story.Putting the last delivery romance books on the shelves, I was ready to go take a lunch brake. Lately I was so busy with work, I didn't even had the time for myself. It looks like I'm just working my ass off and resting only when I am home at bed but no, actually I was studying arts when I had the days off work. It was my second hobby, not counting reading books. I usually went four times every week from morning till noon. The arts are so much fun when you love something you do, so I was pretty happy with that.

LilyAs I sat there on my kitchen floor, looking in the eyes of a devil, trying to process information he gave me, I see his stare and I know. The dreams and reality are becoming true, I know those eyes too well."How even? What..." I choke from sudden panic, shaking my head, "No... It can't be, I... This is a bloody nightmare!""Easy there, calm down and breathe," my biggest problem rumbles with his deep voice and that does calm me down surprisingly.Werewolfs? Its even a thing?I know there are stories, many of them who writes about paranormal stuff but I thought its just a fantasy, a myth." I don't understand, the nightmares... They were all about you... You in wolf form... I know it sounds crazy but," explaining my concern, I see him shaking his head and I realize he is chuckling."What's so funny?" Now I'm angry."You are so cute. Nightmares?
