when it starts

there I was laying in my bed pretending to be asleep again , while that tall and strong figure staring at me with it's dark gaze giving me chills all over my body .

if it was my first time I would've been terrified as I remember , but lucky me I've been having it since I turned 14 years old and now here iam a lady of 22 years and still feeling it's presence each night in my room watching over me . I can feel it getting closer to me blowing it's hot breath closer from my face and still I can't move as always , it's like I'm all paralysed around it . but the only thing I could never forget was it's smell . it's gorgeous smell mixed between woods and nature scents , it's a little confusing to know what is it but I kind of grow on adoring it now .

it had a figure of a man but I'm not quite sure whether it was a human being or something else , but what I was sure about is that it wasn't a human .

I woke up early as usual since I couldn't sleep well last night , I just had this alarm inside of my head to wake me up early all the time .

I went to the bathroom and washed my face and cleaned my teeth while staring at my reflection in the mirror . I stared at my dark brown eyes and long lashes and my pink lips with purple lines , I moved my fingers in circles around my brown wine skin gracefully touching my freckles gently when i stopped pissed looking at the dark circles under of my eyes . it annoys me so much that I can't sleep well at night and because of that now these dark circles are decorating my face most of the time making me look like a zombie .

I went back inside my room and changes from my pink pajamas to a white dress until the knees with a short jean jacket and black shoes , i wore a simple make up on and braided my dark brown hair into one side and then i held my small black bag and went to my college as usual skipping the breakfast part . I was a huge fan to breakfast but unfortunately since growing up alone I could never have that and enjoy it anymore without my parents .

they left me and my little brother Adam whose almost 17 now with our grandmother when we were little kids . if I don't even remember them now I don't know how my brother can . we totally forgot how they look like now since our Grandmother made sure to burn all of their photos and every little proof about their existence .

my grandmother was so old now about 82 but she still looked strong and in a good health she could still make fragrances and I never saw her get sick before , neither I did nor my brother , I guess we just had a strong immune system or that's at least what my grandmother used to say .

I walked toward the house door to open it then stopped when i heard a voice behind me calling me out loud :

_ Minaaaa , are you leaving this early without breakfast again ? i guess it became a habit for u !!

I rolled my eyes in boredom and then said :

_But grandmother , you know I never eat my breakfast , plus I'm already late on my classes ....bye see you in the evening .

then I closed the door behind me as fast as possible and ran to my small red car and went to college .

after my morning classes where over I went to my favorite restaurant outside the campus to eat my lunch .

I sat on my favorite place in the corner facing the aquarium in front of my table , I kept on staring at it until I zoned out and went to a very beautiful and peaceful place where the blue covered all of my vision . until a cough interrupted me and got me out of the space I was in . I looked up a bit to see that smiley face staring at me brightly holding a dish of his delicious pasta and moving it toward me .

I looked at him with a bright excited smile too and said :

_ uncle Gee !! good morning ...
