< 7: 13 am, dream. >

Darkness. That's all I saw. Nothingness and silence. I couldn't move either, nor could I make a sound. Strange.

Hiss.

That... No. I heard something slither ahead me. It was slithering towards me. Next thing I knew, I felt something slithering up my leg and up to my stomach. Something tightened on my neck, I couldn't breath. I panted and needed air. I couldn't move. Then I fell to the cold ground of nothingness. I was strangely still alive, yet I still couldn't move. I could hear my own heart beating slowly. That's a ray of light came about. I looked up, alas, I saw a transparent ceiling, overlooking the moon. That's when I felt liquid on the ground. Clear water surrounded me, which was right above my feet. I realized I was wearing a white dress, the front ends ending on my knees and the back ends ending right above my feet. I couldn't find an exit. That was when I saw something glinting somewhere beneath the waters. It was somewhere behind me as I turned back. As I was about to walk towards it and find out what it was, the water rose. It rose up to my knees, to my stomach, to my neck.. Just before it reached my head, I gasped for air as the water had reached my head and above. My eyes were closed tightly. I opened my eyes, seeing only the translucent waters. Not long before I breathed out, creating bubbles escaping my mouth. 'Now, this was the end.' I thought. I was incorrect. It wasn't. I could breathe under water, which was peculiar since no human being could ever breathe underwater. I then caught sight of the object which was glinting against the moonlight. My attention turned to the object right at the bottom of the waters. I swam towards it, as I reached it I grabbed it and examined it. Seems to be a silver necklace, a serpent's eye in the middle. That was when I suddenly fell to the ground, which was now solid. The water had disappeared into thin air. I sat up, holding my forehead in pain. The necklace was still in my grasp as I stood up slowly. The surroundings revealed to be.. My room?

It was proper, everything was in place. I could see my own self sleeping peacefully. I was about to take a step forward when my room.. Peculiarly cracked as if it were made of glass; a mirror. The glass fell all together. My room was.. A total mess, it was as if a tornado passed by. The walls were cracked, broken, and the worst part, blood was splattered on the walls. My wardrobe was in pieces, my clothes were ripped. My desk upside down, it's legs missing some pieces. My bed, a total mess. The bed sheets ripped, as if attacked by a wild animal. Strangely, a sword, mainly used for fencing was on the ground. The door to my bathroom was scratched, plus bloodied. I slowly walked towards it. My hand reached for the knob, yet something told me not to. I opened it slowly.

My eyes widened in horror and fear. I clamped my own hand to my lips, which were parted as if I were supposed to say something yet I didn't. I was shaking. What I saw?

I saw my own self. I was on the ground, on the corner of the bathroom. I was sitting up, my eyes closed. But the horror was...

Those pieces of shards, specifically mirror's shards, were stabbed into my stomach. Neon pink, supposedly the exact same color of the serpent's scales, stained on my clothes, plus the shards. I was...

Dead.

Through there, I held my head and let out a horrified scream.

< 3:13 pm, bedroom; Mukami Household. >

I sat up automatically, panting heavily, clutching on the bedding tightly; digging my nails into it. Another nightmare one of those nightmares. I brought my left hand to my right eye. I told myself it was just one of those nightmares. Which are never true. I looked to the clock. '3:13 pm' it read. It was early, plus I didn't want to return to my slumber. You wouldn't even know if the dream would continue, the dream would change into either a good dream or worse, a much more horrifying one. I decided to wait for the clock to strike 5 pm, therefore I had to wait for 2 more hours. I decided to use my laptop to kill time. As my feet met the carpeted, yet cold ground I stood. As I took a step forward, I heard something fall to the ground. My attention turned to the object that was on the ground. My icy blue orbs widened at the sight of it.

No... That can't be true. It was all a dream.

I was terrified. What has fallen to the ground you ask?

It was a silver necklace.

A silver necklace which fit my neck perfectly.

A silver necklace with a serpent's eye in the middle, which was colored

Bright red, supposedly a ruby.

'It was a dream.' I told myself, once more. It couldn't be true. How can a necklace from my nightmare be possibly here? It was impossible!

Just as I was about to run, something in my chest pained me. I could hear my heart beating slowly. I panted heavily, that's when I hit the carpeted floor.

< L a t e r . >

My eyes opened. It took me awhile to realize I was on the floor as I sat up.

"Ugh." A groan escaped my lips. I held my head in pain. I checked the clock once again. '4:59 pm.' It read. Just in time. I stood up as I passed a mirror, as I examined myself. That's when I realized.

Why is that silver necklace attached on my neck? I don't remember putting it on..!

My thoughts were interrupted as a knock was heard.

"Prim? Get up and get dressed. It's 5 pm." A voice called out, which obviously belonged to Ruki. "Hai." I replied shortly. I heard footsteps getting softer, which meant he went away. With that, I got ready for school.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Nightmare here! Sorry for the late update, school's been hell lately. And I'm getting sleepy too. No announcements for now, I guess.

See ya, Lovelies!~
