Dream
I’m in college and woke up in my dorm. Hung out with friends and my boyfriend all day in the living room. We watched movies cuddled with a million blankets on the couches. When it was time for bed my boyfriend gets a call from his friend. He’s sitting on the end of my bed, we had just finished having sex so I pull the blanket over my head giggling. When he hangs up he sits there for a while not looking or laying back down. Finally when I sit up he turns slowly and says there’s a problem. He stands up and walks over to me, hugs me, kisses my forehead, my cheek, then lifts my head so our lips meet. He tells me to wake up my three friends and stay here that it’s dangerous. Before I can say anything he’s walking out the door. I trust him entirely so I do what he said, I wake everyone up and we sit in my room together. After what seems like all night my phone rings, it’s my boyfriend he says there’s some powerful people here they’re looking for some artifact in one of the school buildings and students and teachers are fighting them off. After we hang up I tell my friends and we all agree that we should join the fight. I take the youngest girl with me because I know my other two friends can handle them selves. As soon as we step outside the dorm everything changes, buildings are on fire, people are screaming, there’s gunfire all around us. I see my boyfriend and his friend across a long field at another building carrying people out. I grab the girls hand I’m with and start running towards them. As soon as my eyes meet his I can see that I’m about to get a lecture on staying inside where I’m safe. That’s exactly what happens. It’s nice he cares so much but I’m the end I tell him I can take care of myself and my friend that I’m helping no matter what.
Okay fast forward me and my friend go into a building across campus where we know the artifact is. I tell her to stay two steps behind me so I know where she is at all times. As soon as we walk into the building the atmosphere changes again. It’s quiet everyone’s walking normally carrying their books and backpacks. You don’t hear any screams or gunfire. You can’t smell or see any fires outside. It was weird. After walking down a million hallways we see two of the people that came to steal the artifact. We’re hiding behind a wall so they don’t notice us. When I poke my head around to look I can see one of them change their skin to look like a different person and for some reason I know that’s the leader I can feel it. As that happens my friend who’s with me gasps quietly when I turn around to cover her mouth I’m frozen with my hand about to reach her face because the leader has already gotten to her and is now pulling her into one of the bathrooms. I take a step to follow them and someone tripped me, the person the leader was with. I quickly fall to the ground and see the woman coming down on top of me to start flooding me with punches. I roll over before her hand can meet my face. We’re wrestling on the ground now trading punches everything’s happening so fast blood is coming down my forehead and going into my eye. I finally hit her right when the jaw meets the ear and I feel a click in her head. She stops fighting and relaxes her body coughing up blood.
I don’t have time to care about her I have to go find my friend. I start running to the locker room bust through the door, there’s at least ten people in there and they’re acting normal like they don’t see me panting with blood on my face. I’m frantically looking around and in the back row right infront of me there they are. The woman has my friend wrapped with her arm around her neck. The woman stares at me for what seems like 10 minutes, doesn’t answer me when I scream to let her go. When I take a step forward the woman yells and everyone in the room freezes. She says “tell me where the artifact is or I’m snapping this girls neck”. “Tell me where it is now”. She repeats. I told her I wouldn’t tell her until she lets my friend go and in a split second she’s thrown my friend about five feet reached past the three rows in between us and is holding me with one hand by the neck. She starts giving a monologue about her bullshit “group” and the artifact. While she’s choking me I’m trying to think of any way I can get my friend out of here safely and maybe not die myself. That’s when I feel something in my back pocket, it’s my boyfriends knife he must’ve put it there outside that burning building when he kissed me goodbye. As fast as I can blink I pull it out and stab her in the arm. We fight back and forth for a few minutes, she’s cut me just about every time she hits me with her rings. I’m now on top of her pressing the spot where I hit the other one and heard a click it must be some sort of weak spot for them. As I’m facing her still griping the back of her neck I’m begging her to stop I don’t want to kill her she then bites my hair and says. “It’s over once I can change into your skin you die”. I slowly get off of her trying to understand what’s going on plus she’s too injured to hurt anyone. When she gets up she says to me “I’m going to kill everyone you love, no reason just cause it’s fun.” No time for thinking now she turns to walk out the door and I grab the knife stab her where her ear meets her jaw and drag the knife along the backside of her head to her other ear. As I do that her body makes a loud piercing screech, and her body hits the floor. Her skin start changing into a million different faces and finally it stops on a blond older woman. I find my friend in the corner hugging her knees to her chest I check her over to make sure she doesn’t have any injuries then we head out to interrogate the person that I fought in the hall way.
After we sit her up she’s telling us everything. But the last thing she says is, “You won’t be able to save half the world, our group has implanted chips into the other half’s heads and when we’re ready everyone will start killing eachother, one of your siblings already has the chip.”
And just like that nothing matters my arms almost falling off my body, my collar bones broken, I’m bleeding from my head, chest, stomach, leg. I don’t feel anything though. I look at her and I can tell she knows I’m defeated I go to say something to her and she interrupts,”it’s your brother he’s going to wake up in a few weeks and kill you family, and when the chip turns off in his head he’ll realize what he’s done and want to kill himself”. How can I save them, what can I do to stop this, can I stop this, I can stop this right? I have to.
I fall to my knees my thoughts are crushing my body down making me feel like I’m 2 inches tall, but before I hit the ground my boyfriend catches me. He’s saying something but I can’t hear him everything’s silent all I can think about is if my family’s okay, if I can save them. I just sit there resting my head on my boyfriends chest as he rubs my back and pulls my hair out of my face. I look up at him and look into his eyes, he says, “we’re going to figure it out nothings going to happen to your family, we can do this” It hits me while I’m staring into his warm kind caring eyes and finally feel like we can make it out of this. I’m dreaming of course I’m dreaming, then I wake up.
