《Red Thread of Fate》Chapter 1 : "Dream"
Advertisement
Aghhh...!" Helen awakens from her dream ... "Ha... Hah ... Hah ..." Her breaths shaky ... It was as if she had just run from something for her life.
She looked in all directions in panic. Finding that she was still in her room, Helen began to calm down. She regained her breath after panting hard.
Water ... That's what's in her mind. She needed water ... Helen got up from the bed and went out of her bedroom, headed for the kitchen to get a glass of water.
Arriving at the kitchen, Helen picks up her glass and pours the water. She instantly drinks in one gulp. Helen paused, then looked at the wall clock in the kitchen. The time shows 2.30 in the morning.
"Huuhh ..." Helen sighed for the umpteenth time, before she left the kitchen heading to the bathroom. Although it was only 2 AM, Helen knew she would not be able to go back to sleep, so she decided to go wash her face. After all... The dream would wake her up again if she still insisted on sleeping.
After washing her face, Helen silently stood and pondered, staring blankly at the reflection of herself in the mirror above the sink. She began to recall the dream she had just experienced. The dream is getting more and more tangible. Helen even thought she was crazy! How could she possibly assume that the dreams are real?! It is impossible! Although she kept trying to deny it, but her heart said otherwise.
It is unknown what triggers this, but she knows for sure that all this started on her 13th birthday. On the night of her birthday ... Helen started dreaming ... A very strange dream!
At first she did not so clearly remember the content of her dream. What she remembers in the dream was, she saw a man hugging a young girl under a big cherry tree. The scene looks like a painting. In fact almost like an illusion ... So beautiful to see, but also so heart-wrenching to look at. You know... The beautiful "illusion" actually represents a wound... A tragedy... That can break your soul and body when you witness it. That's all she remembered ...

Since then, the dream never seemed to come to her again. Halen began to forget it slowly. . But, not until she was 16 years old! When she was 16, the dream came back!
At that moment, she heard the man's voice calling someone's name. He kept calling the name. But Helen could not hear the name. All she knew was that guy must be calling the name of the girl in his arms. The dream came to an end.
She feels that she knows the name of the girl that man mentioned in her dream, but she can not remember it. Plus, she still can not see clearly the faces of the two people in her dream.
This happen again on her seventeen year old birthday. She dreams of the same thing again! This time she began to see clearly the figure of the man and the girl! She can remember the name of the young girl. Yuki, that's the girl's name.
And on her 18th birthday... She had a premonition that night, she would be dreaming about the man and the girl, Yuki. And true, the dream came to her again.
However, this time the dream did not come only once, but repeatedly until now! The dream continues every day.
For the past 2 years, the dream always come to her. Increasingly, this dream becomes more real. It's like watching a movie or drama in live, where the main character is a couple in her dream. Until 2 days ago, she still saw the dream like a 3rd person. But 2 days ago it all changed! Precisely, June 11 was her 20th birthday. Since then, she no longer witnessed the dream as someone else, but as a young girl dying in her dream, Yuki!
2 days ago, she felt her body was so weak. She felt unable to move any of her limbs. Even to open her eyes alone, she felt it was very difficult. Helen panicked! Until finally she managed to open her eyes and the only sight that greeted her was the face of the man in her dream! She was shocked, panicked and confused, but no matter how hard she struggled, her body could not be moved. She resigned... Just stayed silent. She wanted to say something but no sound came out of her mouth.

She could not clearly remember his face, but she knew and could feel what he was feeling.
Anxiety, panic, despair, sadness and deep pain ... That's what he feels.
There are 1 or 2 things that never change, which was what Helen feel, even from the first time she had this strange dream. The first thing, for some reason, every time she saw the figure of the man, Helen always felt she recognized him. She feels they've met. And every time she saw him, this heart hurt... Helen felt her heart crushed and torn apart every time she saw him... Her soul was flying and she wanted to run to hug the man, as if he was the man she loved so much...
And the second, don't know from where that crazy idea came, and what poison she had drunk, Helen felt that the girl named Yuki was herself ?! And whenever the man calls Yuki's name, she feels that the man is calling her!
Stupid! That's the craziest idea she ever had! How could she and Yuki be the same person? How could she imagine that she was a dying girl in the arms of her lover, not a lady who lived happily with her dream prince?!
"Maybe it was because the dream kept haunting me and I was bored just being a spectator, maybe that's why I started dreaming as Yuki? Heh ... It could be ..." She thought jokingly.
Yuki and she were the same person? How can that be? Yuki is her other self? Impossible!
Reincarnation? Is it possible that Yuki is herself in the past? Hah? Ridiculous ... That's the craziest thing she ever heard! How can there be such a thing as a reincarnation in this world? That's just a myth! Just a fairy tale before bed! Plus, her past life was so tragic? So sad...
Helen continued to search for a thousand reasons to deny the thoughts and feelings she had about Yuki and the dream.
She started pacing around the bathroom. She kept trying to brush off her silly thoughts and ideas. But ... The more she denied it, the stronger her god level of imagination continued.
"Aghhhh... whatever! Maybe I should go to a psychologist, or maybe a psychiatrist! I feel like I'm crazy!" Helen shouted as she continued to throw a million complaints.
"Wait... If I checked myself there, would not it be obvious that those people would think I'm crazy? They would think I had severe hallucinations, mental disorders and other psychiatric problems? They might send me to a mental hospital? Aghhh... OMG ... Helen ... Oh, Helen ... What a genius you are, Helen... So genius you almost dig your own grave! "
Helen continues to snarl... To mock herself. She almost spent 2 hours in the bathroom just to act and thought of silly, without getting any results and now the clock has been showing 04.46 dawn!
If there were other people in the house. Watching her manner of talking to herself while pacing, surely they would think Helen was crazy! What's more she talked about things that did not make sense.They would think Helen had read too many manga, novels and watching movies or dramas.
"Gggggrruuukkk ..."
"Ugh ... Shit!" She curse in her heart. How can this stomach growling right now?!
Helen then realized, that she had spent too long in the bathroom without results! If only this hungry stomach did not make any sound, maybe she will spend the day there.
"Hmmm, never mind. Just think of the dream later. The most important thing now is what breakfast should I make this morning?" She thought to herself
Helen then dragged her lazy feet back into the kitchen and began to focus on preparing breakfast and the necessities for today's activities.
Today too, will be one of the new page of her life ...
"Fighting, Helen!!!" Cheers Helen, while encouraging herself.
