I slowly opened my eyes to the sound of my alarm clock. I sat up quick and hit the button. I then notice I'm normally awake when my alarm goes off.
"I slept through the night." I mutter
Normally I wake up mid night and stay up till my alarm goes off. I had NightTerrors. They keep me up all night since I was a child. How refreshed I felt. My lips felt different. My neck too.
'Was it a dream?'
I felt my cheeks heat up and I walked to the bathroom. Splashed my face with cold water and realized, he tired me out and I felt so protected that the Terrors didn't attack me.
I look up to the mirror and smile, I could see my friends today. I am a Senior now. I go to my dresser and pull out a red long sleeve shirt with a hood. An black tights with other countries flags lining my legs. I comb out my hair and put it in a pony tail. I grab my bag and walk out to my truck. A 2001 Dodge 1500 sport edition.
I load up into the driver seat and then start the engine.
I then take the backroad, not seeing the normal black dog. Not seeing the shadow looming under the street light.
I pull into the parking lot of my school and walk inside after I sling my bag onto my back. The moment I walk to our little corner in the cafeteria I'm then grouped hug by all my friends in that instant.
Lydia, Nathan, Henry, Kellie, Nick, Chris, Toby, Hernan, Michael, Braxton, Jared, Day, Maria, Bassy(NickName), Sydney, Lizabeth, Amanda, Edna, Brandon and Alex all hugged me so tight I could barley breath.
"Iris! How was your summer? Hey you okay your kind of red?" Asks Lydia as she felt my head.
"Oh, um, I just had a dream last night."
"NightTerrors?"
I sighed a heavenly sigh and shake my head. "This is this first time I've slept since elementary school."
She smiled and hugged me. "Your okay for now, what was the dream?"
Memories of the previous night had played back. Him kissing me as I did to him. My face had continued to heat up. "I don't know but, I hope to God it's real."

My first period was Mrs.Hayes. One of the FFA directors. Once I walk into Mrs.Hayes she smiled and hugged me as well. She seemed to be crying slightly but she was laughing too. "This is your last year, finish hard Iris."
She pulled back and held my shoulders, her eyes looked into mine. Then they sparkled. "Iris? Did you sleep any, your not as pale as I remember." I nodded in response. "Well don't over work yourself then."

The day continued on, as normal. Every teacher asking if I'd slept and finish harder. I was an all A student. I had every school north of me asking for my presence but I don't think these NightTerrors will allow that of me.
The weird and sensational feeling on my lips stopped, my neck didn't feel different anymore. It felt like a dream, maybe, it was.

I had showered and climbed into bed, closing my eyes and hoping for another perfect dream, maybe Offender would come back.

"Iris?" Sang a voice.
I opened my eyes in the white surrounding world. White roses beneath my feet.
"Iris?" It sang again.
I turned around an a large black cloaked figure floated above me, a gleaming scythe in his hands. A old, yet handsome skull under its hood. It reached its hand out for my own. I stepped closer to it as if I knew who it was.

Then something pointed wraps my calf. I look down and see black thorned vines coated in blood. They tripping me and pulling me back. "Please help!" I call reaching for the cloaked figure, he reaching for me in worry. Vines wrapped my wrist, puncturing my veins and slithering into my arm and leg.
I scream again, pain coming from my heart, I look down roses grew from my heart, from the inside out. I was bleeding to death, the ground underneath me turning the floor red. Pointed vines slithering up my throat and out of my lips.

"He-LP, Me!"

I woke up screaming, hoping someone was there to help me calm down. However no hands held mine which covered my ears. "Calm down, Calm down," I repeated breathing through the tears.

I blink through the tears the clock said, 8:36pm.

I went to bed at 8pm.

I try sleeping again, only getting the same dream.
