Wake Up

Dark at night the low breeze hugs me tight,the moon stares deep in my eyes challenging me,i have live through this a 100 times i know how it all ends but still i will stand up and try,because this is my own destiny one that was written for me in old history books.But then why do i feel like an imposter living in my own skin?

It’s almost time to rewind history and to go into a deadly fight one that i already know the ending of,but i have to do it for my people .Those who helped become me and leave the silly homeless girl i once used to be.Its my only chance to save us from this terrible curse that began in 1985 but it feels like an eternity.I walk through the limp bodies that i had led into battle trying hard not to remember faces. I’m in pain but not because of my left arm tinted a red ,or my leg which I can barely trust to keep me up,but from the pain of losing people who had so much faith in me,people who I grew up with.

I erase all thoughts and wipe my eyes clean of mud,clearing my vision for what’s ahead of me.They are almost here. I can hear them,feel them coming closer. It’s my last battle,a battle I will fight alone and die alone for my people. This endless fight ends today.A loud stud breaks the silence and a dark figure approaches me.I stand my ground holding my sword high and proud using what’s left of me to not break down.

The figure it tall and slim but still strong ,different from all the others .It doesn’t resemble a monster but more like a human.As it comes closer into vision i can see more of its features,its a boy,with light blond hair and honeycomb eyes he’s around my age,i regain my composure standing still holding my breath while my mind is going 100 miles per hour,this hasn’t happened in the past.Its different ,i was supposed to die today as i did all the other times,something isn’t right.I can’t hear them or feel them anymore,it has gone abnormally quiet.The boy reaches to me at arm length and stares deeply into my eyes as if he knows me,and by the way he is looking at me i’m beginning to think the same. “Wake up” he whispers, “What?” I respond,what does he mean to wake up? I’m wide awake. I can feel everything. I can see how my blood drips down my arms and hear his breathing syncs with mine,but then why does he say wake up. “Who are you?”,I ask, slightly lowering my weapon, “WAKE UP!”the boy repeats,i try to touch him try see if he’s real or maybe i’m hallucinating but as i get closer he disappears,leaves me alone with millions of questions without answers,i feel a weird feeling in my heart,a void.It traps me with the feeling of lost.A lightning breaks free from the skies burning trees around it and that’s when i know it they are here right in front of me,everything is going back to normal,just like it happened all the other times. The cursed night creatures are here there is millions of them surrounding me, i lift my sword up,not wanting to show my defeat.Although im still left with a weird sensation from what happened before its as if i slowly waking up from a dream but i know this is real i can feel it right?

The figures come at me destroying anything in their way one swings its tail at me barely grazing my cheek i lift my sword and cut its tail off,then quickly motion to stab my silver sword through its heart,i watch it go limp.Three more rush towards me surrounding me almost suffocating me i run towards the one in front of me and cut its head off while holding his body to use it as a shield against the attacks coming my way.One jumps on me bringing me down with it,it tries to bite me,cut me but i dodge every move,knowing exactly what will happen next.

Thousands of monsters come running at me,i try to move out from the position im held in but its almost impossible i already know this is the end,and again i will die like all the other times.I close my eyes waiting for the moment where the pain of teeth biting into my skin and claws digging into my skin,cutting through layers of protection spilling blood everywhere comes,but that moment never comes all im left with is the soft whispers of the same voice, “Wake up”,and everything goes blank.

“Do you think she is alive?”A soft voice whispers,another voice much harsher whispers“I hope so or all of the years of work would have been for nothing”.I have no idea what is happening i feel my eyes heavy and i’m having trouble opening them .They start talking again, “how long do you think it will take for her to wake up Santiago?”, “how would i know dude,it isn’t like i can just reboot her from a simulation she has been on for years you think she will wake up and be all happy and fine,i have to make sure she has a good recovery or you know who will kill me”says the guy who if i can recall is called Santiago.

I somehow manage to open my eyes taking my surroundings quickly as my head aches with pain.Im in a gray room filled with a small white chair,a table at the corner of the room where i’m pretty sure they are talking at,and the room has a single mirror or maybe a window im not too sure and a white hospital bed which i’m currently laying on.I quickly become aware of the situation im in.I look for a quick way out.I slowly and quietly stand up from my bed not wanting to get caught,i make my way to the tall door painted black as i’m about to unlock the door it opens and Santiago and the other guy turn my way,Dammit i was caught i should just make a run for it before they come for me,but then i inspect them and they stiffen with serious but frightened faces.I ignored them and turn to head out when i’m met with a tall statue.

As i look up i freeze in place.Im obviously dreaming,yup this is all a really confusing dream,wow i’m really dumb to think all of this was real like how did i fall for this,i need to wake up i blink multiple times to get rid of the person right in front of me but nothing,damn it i must be in a deep sleep,i blink again but nothing.OK then that means this is real and the guy in front of me was the same guy with blonde hair and honeycomb eyes only that now he looks real,and way taller.I push past him but the door locks and thats when i feel a small pinch on my neck and everything goes black.
