Lies

Chapter 1

It's dark. Too dark for my liking. I look around my surroundings, all i see are shadows moving everywhere. I try to walk but my legs are frozen. I start to panic, my heart beating faster and faster. Where am i, why am i here? The shadows move closer and closer. I start to cry when suddenly i feel a pair of arms around my waist. I jump and try to turn around but the grip is too strong. I feel his warm breath at my throat. He puts his lips on my throat and gently kiss it. I try to struggle but he's too strong. "Please, let me go.." I cry out, unsure of what he wanted from me. "I've been waiting a long time for this." he whispers in my ear. His voice smooth and velvety, I shivered when his breath touch the side of my throat. I know i'm supposed to be scared but I feel drawn to his voice. My body begins to relax when all of the sudden I feel a piercing pain at my neck. I try to scream but in vain. I feel my legs turn to jelly and right before my knees buckle, he turns me around. His face full of blood, my blood and then my world darkened.

 Beep Beep Beep... Beep Beep Beep... I turn myself over to switch off my alarm when i realize I'm on the floor. I groan as I try to pick myself up, my body sore from sleeping on the floor again. It's that stupid nightmare. It's the same one every night but something was different in yesterday's nightmare. What was it? I remembered the shadows but nothing else. I glance up at my clock only to realize that it was 7 am. Crap! I need to hurry if i didn't want to be late for school. I wonder why Annie didn't wake me up this morning. Annie is my nanny, yes i'm 17 and will be 18 in a few months and i still have my nanny. Annie is more than my nanny, I see her as my substitute mother. Don't get me wrong, I love my mum but Annie was the one who was there for me. My plays, my competitions, my first swimming lesson, my first crush, my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first breakup. No matter what, she was always there for me....
