Chapter One - Dreams
I stood in my bedroom, a brown fluffy teddy bear in my arms. My hair was plaited into two braids and I was staring at my mother quickly pack our clothes into a small grey suitcase. Her hair was a mess, she was sweating and she was in such a hurry. She got up from the bed she was sitting on, pulled the suitcase towards me then grabbed my left hand. She pulled me out of the door and down the stairs until we got to her small blue truck. She strapped me into the back then rushed to the front and ignited the key into the hole. "Mummy, where are we going?" I asked in my 5 year old voice. "Honey, shush, let mummy do grown up stuff" she said.
Her hands were gripped onto the steering wheel and she kept looking in the mirror at the front to see if I was still there. I started talking to my teddy as she drove onto the main road.
She turned her head to look at me and the moment she did, I saw a car rush towards us. "Mum!" I yelled and pointed at the car. She steered the car to the left and immediately we were tossed off the road and into the river beaneth us. I started crying and yelling . "We'll be fine" my mother said as she jumped to the back of the car where I was seated in shock. She drew me closer to her then wrapped her arms around me
I sobbed for a while before she reached for her phone and called 911. As soon as she ended the call, the windows at the back broke and water started gushing in. We were sinking. My mother hugged me tighter as the water surrounded us. "We are going to swim to the top okay?" She whispered into my ears.
I widened my eyes the instance she said that. She managed to open the backdoor and swam to the top as she pulled me. She told me to climb on her neck and wave to get attention. Nothing. So she told me to scream. I screamed on top of my voice and immediately, I heard the sound of a helicopter. I waved my hand at them and waited till they got to our side. Some men got out of the helicopter with the aid of a rope to rescue. That was when I realised I was falling. My mother wasn't holding on to me anymore. One of the men caught me before I fell then carried me up into the plane. The other men went down to search for my mom and my teddy because I wasn't holding it.
I woke up and hit my head on Kent Dawson's bed. I was sweating and crying at the same time. "Ouch!" I said and rubbed my head.
Carter immediately jumped down his bed and rushed to me with a glass of water. He handed the glass to me, a smile on his face. I took the glass, gulped it down then gave it back to him. "Thank you" I whispered. "Another nightmare?" He asked before sitting a few inches from me. I nodded my head slowly. He set the glass on the floor then pulled me into a hug, like always.
Carter Hilton is my roommate and the first guy I met when I first came to KILL. He became a brother to me from that day. Ever since the accident, I was never the same again. I had the same dreams over and over every night and I hated it. Everyone in the room knew about this so didn't get bothered whenever I woke them up in the middle of the night.
"When is this going to end?" Kent asked in a groggy voice. I ruffled my hair and gave out a loud sigh.
Kent Dawson was like the mean-nice guy in my dorm room. He had mood swings like all the time and me and the other two had to check his mood before talking to him.
The last roommate was Allison Beer, Carter's girlfriend. Yep, he had a girlfriend. Allison didn't actually care about what Carter and I did only if we didn't have sex. She knew we were just best friends and nothing more.
"Well, since we are all awake, why don't we play a game or something" Allison said then got out of her bed too.
"Sure" Carter said then threw her a smile. Those lovebirds. "I'm up for it" I said in between sobs. We all looked up at Kent who was lying down and staring at the ceiling.
"Whatever" he said then jumped down. A smile formed on my face immediately.
"So what are we playing?" I asked. "Truth or dare" Allison said then smiled wickedly.
"I'm in" I said then stared at Kent since I knew Carter's answer already. "Fine, I'm in too" he said then sat down indian style beside my bed. I sat beside him and Carter and Allison sat together.
Allison pulled out a beer bottle from under her bed then placed it in the center. She spun the bottle and it landed on Carter. "Truth or dare?" She asked. "Dare" Carter replied then folded her arms. "I dare you to tell me how much you love me" she said then winked. "Eww" Kent and I said in unison. "As much as I love cookies" he said. I blinked continuously as Allison blushed. What the heck were they talking about?
We played the game until the bottle landed on me. "Truth or dare? Allison asked, her eyes narrowed. She was mad because I had made her tell her darkest secret."Umm..dare" I said. How hard could a dare be.
"Perfect" she began. "I dare you to kiss Kent" she said then smirked. Carter cleared his throat. I turned to look at Kent and he looked chill. He didn't care. "Are you going to do it?" Allison asked annoyingly. I glared at her before slowly moving my head closer to Kent's.
I stared at his lips and licked mine before leaning in for kiss. I put my lips on his and he tasted like strawberries.
I could feel him staring at me. He didn't part his lips until I tilted my head a bit. He was a great kisser an amazing kisser. We lost track of time and kissed each other for a while until Allison and Carter both cleared their throats loudly.
I immediately pulled away and played with my fingers. My face was red at this moment. Kent got up from the floor then walked to the bathroom.
