THE UNKNOWN

The door is ajar those evil red eye's staring calling me towards them. And suddenly that creature started getting close to me walking upside down on the ceiling of my room. I started inhaling and exhaling deeply, Hiding myself with the duvet covering myself as much as I can as if he will see any of my body parts I will die. Then pin-drop silence went in the room and curiosity getting the best out of myself I removed the duvet a little from the top of my head to the tip of my nose nothing was to be seen. The knife-like nails started through my hairs. A ripe yet frightening whisper came 'NATALIA'. I started hiccuping rolling my eyeballs upwards to met those eyes. Which, I have been sawing for the last two years after I turned sixteen. Looking in those eyes as if they want something from me making me get lost or more like hypnotizing me. The same dream yet again, before Natalia could retrieve from the epilates; she heard her aunt calling.

"Natalia" Auntie Sukie called.

"yes, coming"

I need to stop seeing these dreams before I go crazy - Natalia thought while signing. After Making the bedding, she went to the bathroom to fresh 'n' up. Coming back she searched for something to wear in the wardrobe finding some pastel green puff sleeve - maxi linen dress she got ready and went to the kitchen room.

"Good Morning Auntie," Natalia said while sitting on the old wooden carved chair for breakfast. She enjoyed eating together with auntie because she got to spend more time with her and talk. For, her Sukie was everything. Doesn't know about her parent's sometimes she gets curious and wants to ask her but, she always drags the conversation away.

"Good Morning slept well? " Sukie asked.

"h..mmh," Natalia said sounding not so interested.

"What happened," Sukie asked.

"I saw those eyes.."

Sukie huffed.

"There is nothing like that it's all in your mind; forget it was a bad dream," Sukie said.

"I know...but whenever I see those eyes it feels like they are calling me, but for what?"

"They are not...."Before Sukie could complete saying the sound of something Breaking came from Sukie's sanctum; it made Natalia Curious like it always Does from the past eighteen years she has not been in that space. Sukie never let her go there ever.

" It must be a cat," Natalia said while trying to move.

" where are you going," Sukie asked standing too much like trying to stop Natalia if she wants to in that space.

" To check" she replied innocently.

"you don't need to it was probably a cat as you said; I will check later," Sukie said while thinking until when she will be able to hide this from Natalia. She deep inside wants to tell her everything, but the girl sitting in front is very demure, don't know what's is behind her. Not very soon but she needs to tell her no matter what she can't be keeping this secret to herself for so long.

" I will be going for a walk if that's alright?" Natalia asked.

" Yes, you can just don't go too far".

"Okay," Natalia smiled like a kid.

Natalia loved being in nature. It calms her, not getting a chance to ever go out of the pack border. Few thoughts always cross her mind, what would other pack be like, do they study and making friends these things were only in her imagination. She has never felt any of it before, Do she wants to? Is it going to be overwhelming for her timid nature?

Forgetting everything she started observing the beauty of Powys forest around her, which she never gets bored with Wind hitting her like sweet kisses, the sound of trees singing to each other, animals joining along. Like thanking each other for their presence. Butterfly circling her like telling her everything is going to be alright.

"meow..www..meow"

"Ooh...Callie" Natalia said holding her up lightly Caressing her head.

Natalia's only a little friend. She always plays with the cat whenever she comes for a walk. Getting all giddy while playing with Callie, Natalia lost track of time.

" oh my god it's very late in the evening, Callie I think I should go bye" Natalia left for home. coming back she found all the lights off

Opening the main wooden door, slightly getting anxious, she called her auntie.

"Auntie..."

Looking around searching for the switch in the dark. Switching the light on, only to find all the things broken around like, someone has purposely done it. Getting apprehensive moving a little forward, calling auntie again with a broken voice.

"Auntie... where are you?"

"Aunt..." before she could call her. Seeing some red and blue lights and voices of arguing coming from Sukie's sanctum. She wanted to go and check but, Sukie's words came ringing in her ears " You will never go in that room Natalia no matter what happens to understand?"

" yes, I will never go in that room,"

Natalia's in dilemma whether to go or not, after a few minutes. Hearing Sukie's voice like she was forcing something impatiently. It was different from all the things she has heard coming from that room. Today, it was scarier. Having enough of all this, emotion getting the best out of her. She went inside the room only to find bright light hitting her eyes stopping from the view.

"Auntie.." Natalia screamed.

"Natalia what are you doing here" Sukie's screamed for the first time it was not right. Sukie was scared Natalia can feel it, and it was making Natalia week.

" Auntie, what is happening?" Natalia whimpered like a kid.

"Na...ta..lia go outside," Sukie said cryingly begging her.

"No..o tell me what is happening," Natalia almost shouted.

Now Natalia was able to see through the reflection and what she saw left her to appall. Sukie was coercing the old wooden full-length mirror kept in the sanctum or more like trying to close that black airy circle as if you touch you can feel horror. Natalia went numb, she could see everything but couldn't feel anything, looking around the white -dirty walls, an old broken bed, few candles stand with the candle on them she looked back to Sukie then blacking out.
