Tonight I had a weird dream again.

But this time I saw something different.

There was a person in my dream

He was as tall as me

He had dark hair and eyes.

He had bronze like skin.

He was called Mike.

He intoduced himself to me.

I somehow felt that his voice sounds familiar.

He told me to stay safe.

He told me to stay away from bad people.

He told me Im ready to see it.

He told me a secret.

He had showed it to me.

When I woke up

I couldn't remember any of it.

And somehow i am able to feel it.

I don't know what it is but.

On my arm, something is slithering around my wrist.

I started to have a hard time breathing.

Something is not right.

I felt the dread settling in.

I needed to relax.

I don't feel any pain so it should be fine right?

Once I felt fine.

I looked at my wrist and nothing was there.

Im scared.

What should I do?

Am I crazy? Am I possesed? Is this a curse?

Once again I had a hard time breathing.

That's when my brothers came in and sang happy birthday to me.

It shocked me silly.

All the tension I had left me.

I have my brothers and Mom to protect me.

Noting should be able to hurt me.

It helped me relax.

I pushed those thoughts to the side.

Today is my birthday

Today is my day.

We had a big meal that day.

Mom was there. I even noticed that dad can home to sing me a song.

He praised me on how I helped at home.

The village priest and elder had come and give their blessings.

Even the knights and wizard that we had helped came.

There was gifts.

There was plays.

There was even magic.

That was what they call the thing that went out of the wands when they where waving and wooshing It around.

It was a fun day.

We had a fun day.

That's when I noticed.

Dad was nowhere to be seen.

No matter where I look I couldn't see him.

I had a sudden bad feeling

I went to the village preist to ask where dad had gone.

He was the last person I saw with dad.

He told me he saw dad talk to old man joe.

I started to feel cold.

He pointed me at the direction of The forest.

"See there they are" he said.

There stood old man joe all alone.

I felt my tummy churn.

I don't know why but I felt the dread settle in me.

Going towards him quickly I asked "uhm, mister Joe? where did dad went?

I heard him say.

"Happy birthday lass. What do you mean where's your dad?"

"Uh uh. Th-thank you M-mister Joe." I said looking down at my dress scared of him.

I cant help but feel that something is wrong.

"Well your welcome lass. But your dad never came. Didn't they tell you?"

"Wh-what do you mean?" I said as I looked up at him.

That's when I saw it.

I could believe what I saw.

He was smiling at me as he said.

"Your dad's in hell already. He won't be coming back."

That's when it hit me.

It was the same wicked smile I saw In my nightmares.
