Dreamer

(Dream)

I slowly sat up, I looked around my dark room. I slowly get out of bed and realize I left my window open, I walked over to it noticing the dark fog that is slowly making its way into my bedroom. I look out of the window as I slowly glide the window shut. "Welcome" I hear the soft voice call out from behind me, I spin on my heels to find a dark figure standing by my doorway. I take a small step backward, "How did you get in here?" I ask as I scan the person the only feature I can make out is the crimson red eyes staring deep into my own. "You know how I got in here." He replied. I take another small step back, my back hitting the wall. "Who are you?" I ask, "You also know who I am." He replied. I slowly started taking small steps forward, "Alek if that's you, this isn't funny. "I am not Alek, but he will someday soon betray you." Came a reply. The only features I could still make out was the crimson red eyes, "What are you?" I asked as I slowly walked closer. "You will meet me soon my darling, now wake up!" was the only reply I got as he reached out and pushed me towered the floor.

(Awake)

I woke up in a cold sweat, the push from my dream felt so unbelievably real that when I woke up I almost thought that the push had made me pass out, I slowly get up from my bed and make my way over to my window, I look out at the forest below, the only thing I could make out was the top of the trees the rest was all fog. I turn and make my way over back to my bed and lay down to curl up. The next thing I knew my alarm was going off at 6:00 am, I stand up and made my way to the kitchen to make a bowl of cereal. Once done I poured my cup of coffee from my automated coffee machine and made my way to the living room, I turned on the morning news and ate slowly as I scrolled through my phone. "the boy who was sent to the hospital for coming home with bright red eyes has been seen recently in the hospital, the mother has a lot to say." I look up from my phone after remembering the red eyes from my dream last night, there was a scene with a young man lying in the hospital bed with who I believe is his mom standing beside the bed crying. "I woke up the one morning to my son walking downstairs and I saw the red eyes and I knew, I knew he was no longer the son that I knew." I watched intently looking for some clue to my dream last night but got nothing, after that, I went back to the bedroom and got changed out of my pajamas into a grey t-shirt and tight black jeans. I brushed my teeth and hair before putting my hair up into a high ponytail. Then I left to make it to work on time.

I get home from work and find myself pulling my phone out to call Alek, "Hey Hunny." He answered, I smiled as I heard his voice. "Hey, do you feel like coming over for movies tonight?" I listened to a long pause "I'm sorry I can't, maybe a raincheck?" Alek responded, reluctantly I agreed and hung up before going and making dinner. I wondered what the guy meant, "SOmeday soon, Alek will betray me." I shook my head and sighed as I tried to figure out what was meant by that.
