Belle Chanter was running. She had to, or else he would catch her. She turned around in panic, just to see if he was any closer. That was a useless move because, even though she could make out the shapes of certian things, she couldn't see. Her vision was clouded for some reason, and it wouldn't clear up. So she kept running, and hoped that he wouldn't get any closer. That hope was short-lived because soon after she turned around what she thought was a street corner, she ran into that dark figure that she was so scared of. He grabbed her wrists roughly, and she tried to fight back. It was obviously useless because it did nothing to him. A peircing scream escaped her very soul as he pressed his cold fangs into her throat...
"STOOOOOP!" Belle Aimer Chanter roughly awoke to the sound of her own frightened screams. She sat up in her rose colored bed, covered in cold, sticky sweat. She began to wipe away at her light brown forehead with immense force. A huge migrain was on its way, and Belle knew it. She'd had this dream a few times before, and every single time she got an awful headache. At first she thought that it came from her falling asleep while reading Twilight but after the third time, she began to consider something else.
What if this was some sort of premonition? She'd once read a book about a girl who had frequent premonitions about Vampires. The thought of something like that really happening to her made her flesh begin to crawl with excitement...until reality hit her. Of course, things like 'Vampires' didn't exist. If they did, Belle would be one herself by now, wouldn't she?
She told herself this every time she had that dream, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't believe that dream wasn't real. After the migrain went away, Belle dared to look at her fuzzy light purple clock. The bright red numers read: 3:00 A.M. and she sighed heavily. She didn't feel like getting out of bed, but she had to.
"Gotta go." She whispered, careful not to wake up her parents. She was actually surprised that her father hadn't come in to see if she was alright.He probably had gotten used to her screaming about Vampires in her sleep. Either that or he was a very deep sleeper. She jumped up from under the rose imprinted blankets that covered her while she slept, and ran to her dresser. Slipping out of her long, lavender nightgown, and into a skanky pink minidress, she played the dream in her mind again and again. It was as if her brain was on 'repeat'. Each time that this dream happened, it seemed to get clearer and clearer. Some of the blurriness chipped away every night. But this one was the darkest, and fuzziest, it had been in a while.
The second she couldn't spot so much as a hair out of place, Belle was already climbing out of her high placed window. She jumped, and landed in a bed of blood red roses. That was stupid. She thought as she examined the small scrapes on her bare arms and legs. This totally sucked. She didn't want to show up at the club with tons of scratches on her arm. All of the other exotic dancers wouldn't have any, which would mean that they would get tips. While she, the ugly one with cuts on her arms, wouldn't. Belle shook her head and ran down the dark street with her head held high. She couldn't let that thought keep her down. It wouldn't be very good for her self-esteem...
Four hours later, Belle Aimer Chanter was on her way to school. She wasn't wearing the same slutty dress she'd had on earlier this morning. It was just a pair of faded Sevens Jeans and a purple halter top. Her dark, blow-dried hair wasn't down this time, either. It was in low pigtails; her usual style. Nothing special or out of the ordinary. She sighed heavily as she ran down the sidewalk. For some reason, she felt as if something bad was going to happen. And not just something stupid like a teacher giving her extra homework. She could tell that if something bad did happened today, it would be really awful.
Halfway down the sidewalk, Belle spotted a boy who looked as if he was nineteen that stopped in front of a girl with reddish-brown hair holding a muffin. The girl looked familiar. She probably went to her school or something...Belle walked over to them still eyeing the girl. She was so familiar, but.....Why can't I remember how I know her? She thought with a tinge of frustration.
"I know you, don't I?" She said to the girl with what she hoped as a friendly smile. "Your name is...Cherice! Right?"
