5 Life
in a room as dark as the abyss, there is a single lightbulb hanging at the top of a roof, blaring light as the sun in the shadows,
in the abyss, there are demons that rome these cursed lands, not to be seen in the shadows only felt, you can feel the goosebumps when one passes by, their goal is to get to the object that lays in the light of the sun in the land of this darkness.
these demons are not afraid of the light, rather they are fond of it and the object under its protection, the demons when entering the light and gaining a form,
in light demons appear as any other man but what is scary about them is their attire, they wear devilishly long white coats with hats that make them look bald, and they all wear masks as light as the open sky that makes them look scary rather than friendly, they only part visible on their body is there eyes, there cold piercing black eyes that appear empty and might swallow you whole, whenever you see them a shiver will run down your back,
but that's not what's most scary about them, the most scary thing about them are the tools they carry with them, a sharp Knife, a pair of tweezers, a stethoscope, etc.
whenever the demons entered the light they brought these tools with them that always scared you,
these demons always stare at the object under the light and use these strange tools on the object under the light, the object sometimes shows some reaction and sometimes doesn't, but the demons don't back down, they try to make the object give a reaction every time and they only leave when they have gotten some result or have studded the object for an extensive period of time,
once they leave the room becomes as quiet as the shadows surrounding it, the object remains in the same place and I would finally have the freedom to move inside my dream,
I moved around the darkness exploring the shadow-filled expanse, filled with unique things but never to be seen by human eyes, I tried to feel the things here I found it relieving after the terrifying scenes that occurred before me. I always spend some time in the darkness before entering the light,
after I calm my heart, I walk towards the light and approach the unknown object underneath it, I slowly take long steps, moving cautiously in the dread of the unknown, slowly approaching the middle of the light,
with a few final steps, I reached the center, in the center, what great my eyes was a body, the body of a young girl probably the age of 5 or 6, she had pale white skin with black hair and was wearing a hospital gown, the girl just lay there like frozen in time,
the girl looked mesmerizing like snow white, I approached her and stood next to her looking at her face which looked so familiar, in my curiosity I touched her face when suddenly!
her eyes open and in a swift and timeless motion she grabbed my hand, she stared intensely with her mismatched eyes, I looked at her unblinkingly because what I saw was shocking.
I remember the face staring back at me,
because it was mine!
The face looked at me blankly, its mismatched eyes boring a hole in my skull, and in a dry and raspy voice said "Help me"
and suddenly as if a dam had broken I remembered everything, the chaotic thoughts of my brain became clear and I WOKE UP FROM MY DREAM.
***
(Sawa's pov)
*beep* *Beep* *Beep*
I woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring in my room, I turned that thing off and lay again with my head in my hands from all the stress and headache from the dream,
That dream, the cursed dream I have seen it multiple times and always the same things, it's straight out of a horror film,
it always starts with me in a dark place and then later escalates to doctors straight out of horror films who are operating on a body eerily similar to mine with just some differences,
"that dream has haunted me ever since I got these" i put my right hand to my eyes as to check and sighed, I opened the Pandora's box that started these traumatic dreams for me,
I stood up and walked to the mirror in my room and gazed at the reflection, what treated me was a half view of my room and a girl aged 6-7 with pale silver-white hair and a pair of miss-matched eyes with the left eye color of Safire blue and the right eye being ruby red. the girl's left eye holds another feature than being a distinct light blue color almost reminiscent of a gem, she has a clock pattern engraved on her eye.
I looked at my reflection incredulously and stared at that clock engraving wrathfully, it was the Pandora's box, after it showed up randomly one day a few weeks ago, the nightmare of my life started, first I got these horrid dreams every night which became daily occurrence at this point, and then I got this absurd sense that I don't know lets me hallucinate or see at this point I don't know the difference, creepy monsters every were I go,
whenever I activate these eyes I see a world unknown to me I get to witness the true horrors of life in the form of creepy and malevolent monsters damn nearly everywhere I go, they haven't approached me nor I have approached them till now. we maintain our differences.
the only plus point of these eyes is that they provide me with an enhanced perception of the area around me roughly 10m in Radeus, which is kinda useless, and only helpful to catch stalkers,
I took a deep breath and sighed, I deactivated my eye power and the clock engravement on my eye vanished and they returned to their normal blue color.
this new life is way too hectic, I prefer my normal life rather than this supernatural one,
As I was busy with my thoughts there was a knock at my door, and a voice from the other side of my dore shouted "Sawa you are late, get up and get ready for school"
"I am up sister Kiri, i will be there shortly" with a tired voice, I shouted back
I guess I should explain, the one who just called me was one of my orphanage's sisters or helpers, Sister Kiri. I was abandoned at birth and have lived in an orphanage on the outskirts of Tokyo near Mount Takaoever since, it's a wealthy orphanage run by a bigshot businessman who built it in memory of his late daughter, so the living conditions are pretty well, I also attend a nearby elementary school so it's pretty well I guess.
life was good until these eyes showed up.
well anyway, I have to get ready for school quickly otherwise I will have a scolding from our headmaster.
I quickly did my necessities and got ready for school, I ate breakfast in the hall downstairs, and hurriedly left for school,
I walk alone to my school which is 3 blocks away from our orphanage, this only happens in Japan where kids are allowed to travel alone from school to home, shows how safe it is i guess.
I reached my school on time and attended that boring place just for the sake of it,
after school ended I packed my things and left for home,
on my way back home, as I was crossing the shrine near my orphanage I suddenly felt an inexplicable chill up my shrine, my eyes opened automatically, and the radius of my perception grew exponentially in an instant, all my surroundings became clear in my mind instantaneously, and what laid on the edge of my perception scared me more than anything had in the past,
at the edge of my perception, there was a green color monster 12 feet tall with 6 hands and 4 legs making a run towards me!!!
