Wake Up To Reality × Novels & Stories

A soft wrap on my bedroom door pulls me out of my dazed like daydreaming, staring at the dagger in my hand and back to the reality of my bedroom in the mansion. I don’t know how long I have sat here since I woke up and showered. Perched on my now-made bed, sitting in direct line from the window to warm my bones. Brooding and lost. “Come in…It’s open.” I urge my visitor not expecting anyone, given it’s early in the day and the sun has only just risen.

Right before I turned off my phone, I'd received one last message from the wedding planner. [Mr. Duggan, all the paperwork has been taken care of.] I replied: [Thank you.] Then I powered it down. Outside, the sea of clouds stretched on like an endless, silent snowfall. I closed my eyes. For the first time, I realized how light it felt—not having to be the steady one. Not having to be praised for being obedient.

Christine broke down into tears as she shouted, "You played me like a fool! You destroyed our entire family! You're a curse! A wolf in sheep's clothing! Why don't you just go to hell?" Amber stumbled backward from the blow and finally collapsed amid the wreckage, completely stunned. She stared at the two people who once adored her. They looked as if they wanted to rip her to shreds. Only then did she realize that everything she thought she had had been nothing more than an illusion. … Sitting across from me, Giselle marvelled as she munched on some nuts. "Maisie, that move was brutal. Watching them turn on each other is much more exciting than any blockbuster film!"

"I just got out of the emergency room, but they're sending me to the ICU. You need to come to the hospital, pay my medical bills, and reimburse the firefighters who paid for me." At this point, I was barely clinging to life. Frankly, it took every ounce of strength I had left to make that call. Each word I forced out sent fresh waves of pain through my body, sweat dripping from my forehead. Yet, he simply said, "If you're well enough to call me, it can't be that bad. There's no need for me to come. Paige's unwell and having nightmares. She needs me by her side." He had to be with her when she was doing experiments, when she was in a bad mood, when it was her birthday…

Let me wake up to reality, to a world where my father is safe, and these monsters are just bad dreams. But even with my eyes shut, I could still feel their presence, still hear the echoing silence that followed Laura's sickening words. The cold chains on my wrists, the throbbing pain in my head, the acrid smell of the room—it was all too real. This wasn't a dream. This was my new, horrifying reality. And the betrayal, the crushing weight of it, was almost too much to bear. My trust had been shattered, my world ruined, and I was utterly, terrifyingly alone.

'Yes don't mess with me' I mocked getting up from my bed. She also got up still rubbing. 'You bully I was trying to wake you up on time' she complained in Pain I slightly smiled she looks funny,every time she complains. This girl standing in front of me with short brunette hair and plump face is my room partner in this dormitory. I sat down on my bed with my legs hanging down, ruffling my hairs as I yawn. Trisha kept standing and staring waiting for me to get up. Looking at her I finally got up and put on my glasses, the most important thing in my life now. 'I am getting ready, happy?'

I always get up at 6 in the morning every wednesday and thursday just to watch it. Oh.. I will have a racoon eyes tomorrow. I need to put some ice on my eyes to prevent it from bloating tomorrow. I wiped my tears and kept watching until I eventually fell asleep on the couch after watching it until the end. I slowly opened my eyes because the doorbell rang. I got up from the sofa and walked to the door. I opened it expecting my brother or Carrie but.. Ares. "You don't go to work?" He asked. "No.. why?"

She was discovered in a deadly state eighteen years ago, her body covered in blood as if she had been attacked. Even after her life was no longer in danger, the girl never awoke, but no one gave up hope because they believed she would. Her life crystal was still shining brightly, indicating that she still had life in her. She was probably fighting a psychological battle, and when she was done, she would wake up. Every day, the woman will be wiped clean as if she were sleeping. Her mother was currently reading a book to her, something she does on a daily basis, when the woman screamed as she opened her eyes.

I rolled my eyes and laugh sarcastic. "Whatever you say, Tina. Alright, take a rest now." "Goodnight!" "Goodnight, too!" Then, I feel something filled on my missing character. I close my eyes with the smile plastered on my face. Its must be the love and happiness of having a friend. I woke up when the sunlight hit my face. I almost open my mouth to shout out loud when I remember that I'm not on my own room. Oh my gosh, Tina! I jump in surprise when someone spoke.

No one is coming. The realization cracks something open, something that's so powerful, it escapes the dream. The scream tears out of me with such force that it rips me awake, thrusts me back into the waking world, and the shock of re-emerging is so huge that I scream again. And again.
