“You’d been having real nightmares, Veronica”
I was in a dark forest, a forest where only acres of hollow trees grew raspy branches; the smell of rotten animals was awfully evident. A forest where the sky was hauntingly black, a murder of ravens croaked. And bloodshed was everywhere…
In short, it was inferno. Somewhere that you wouldn’t want to end up in
I ran and ran to every corner of this forest for hours, desperately searching for a way; screamed at the top of my lungs, wishing that somebody would rescue me. Somebody who will take me out of this place, this hell; But there wasn’t anyone.
When all of a sudden, a figure flashed right before my very eyes; he was blindingly white and I couldn’t make a face out of him.
“I am your guardian angel. Never fear, never doubt. Put all your faith in me” the unknown figure said
I tumbled down to the ground, catching my breath
My strength was slowly decreasing; I feel the remains of my soul, one by one fleeting off. I must have been tired from all my wasted breakout efforts. Whoever that person was, I had no choice, so I willed him with my might
“Save me”
And that was the last thing, I could remember.

For days, my thoughts have been clouded by that single dream.
It has been so surreal. And especially, the figure who proclaimed he was my guardian angel.
My salvation
“Earth to Veronica? We have arrived” Abigail snapped
Abigail has been my best friend, since forever. She still had the same pair of emerald green eyes and wavy blonde hair that cascaded to her back. Also her habit of cocking a eyebrow when annoyed.
Now she seems to be taking me back to reality. High school
“Oh yeah, right” nonchalantly replying back
We take off the bus and I prepared myself for the upcoming challenges that could happen this day.
Whatever they may be, I had been having this weird feeling that it might.
