Bite me NOT

Chapter 3: Dream

“I finally found you..”

That voice again.

“Who are you?!”

“You can’t run away from me anymore.”

How can I run when all I can see is darkness?

“Where am I?!”

“You are mine.”

Is he crazy?! I am not his! He doesn’t own me. No one does!

“Show yourself!”

“Soon..”

My eyes opened.

Another dream that made me pant as if I was chased by someone. Weird dreams have been bothering me for almost a month. Sometimes I don’t even want to sleep, I feel so scared..scared that I will have a nightmare again. There were nights when I felt like I am being watched, and I felt so unsafe that I am now considering moving back into our house but that would make me look funny. And if I tell my parents about my nightmares, they will surely be worried.

I checked the time, it is only three forty-five in the morning, but I don’t want to sleep anymore. I don’t want to have that same dream! Yes, I want to know who is the guy in my dream but at the same time, I am scared. So scared to find out.

Slowly I sat down and hug my knees, I was about to lay my face on my knees when my eyes caught something. My hands flew to my mouth, as I almost scream in surprise! There was a shadow on my window that suddenly disappeared! My window is now opened and my curtain is dancing from the wind outside! I remember closing it last night though!

I started to tremble in fear, there was someone in my room! I am not dreaming this time! My hand slowly reached my phone, I wanted to call the police but what will I say? That there was a shadow in my room? That someone has gotten inside my place but I did not really see the person, just a shadow?

I sighed.

That would make me sound crazy. They might think that I am just dreaming! No one will believe me!

Maybe I should call my parents? But they will really get worried! They might even come here and drag me home!

So I end up awake and just looking at my window as my body becomes fully alert! Once the shadow will show up, I will definitely call the police! 

So I waited..I am now fully awake.

"Come on, show yourself!" I whispered.

But I waited in vain.

And I don’t know if I should be glad that whoever my trespasser was..he/she did not come back, or should I be disappointed because I wanted to catch him or her?!

When sunrise came, I felt so relieved, it is no longer dark and I am no longer afraid so I finally lie down on the bed. I feel so tired and anxious that I end up falling asleep.

When I woke up it was already afternoon, I missed school! But what can I do? I can’t go to school feeling like a zombie right? Besides, it is just Professor Schaeffer’s class so..it is okay to skip classes. So I just stayed at home and sleep as much as I can, because I might not be able to sleep tonight again.

“Oh sorry!” I just bumped into someone. I thought I bumped into a post because his body is so hard! If he did not speak, I will really think that I bumped into a post or a wall!

I touched my head. That kinda hurt!

“No, sorry..I was the one who’s not looking.” I apologized before I lifted my eyes and I froze.

This guy has the same grey eyes as Professor Scaeffer, he will pass as the younger brother of the professor! He also looks annoyingly handsome, and the huge difference between the two is that he has this positive and joyful aura that is different from the Professor-

Wait! Why am I thinking about that professor? He is not even here! And why am I comparing him with this guy to him? 

Maybe because they somehow look alike?

“Are you okay Miss?”

And that made me snapped back to the present.

“Y-yes.” I said feeling kind of embarrassed since I just zoned out.

He chuckled. Maybe he is feeling my nervousness.

He reached for my head to check and I stiffened.

“Is your head-“ He wasn’t able to finish whatever he is going to say because someone just slapped his hand away from my head.

“Stop messing with the Pr-“ The other guy who just slapped the hand of the guy stopped. He looked at me and cleared his throat. “With the girl.” He said and the other guy laugh.

The new guy is as tall as the guy in front of me. His eyes are hazel and his aura is the same as the Professor. Intimidating and Dark.

He looks as if he is someone who doesn’t like to joke around.

“Hey, easy.. I am just trying to be friendly.”

“Just stop, you know that..he..will not like it.”

The guy in front of me playfully shrugged then he looked back at me and gave me a playful smile. I have noticed that the other girls walking in the hallway stopped to look at us. Who wouldn’t? These two guys are extremely good-looking!

“Sorry..this friend of mine is just..killjoy,” he whispered before he looked back at the other guy.

“By the way, I am Valentin.” He said as he offered his hand which I accepted out of politeness.

“And this is my friend, Aldous.” He pointed out the guy with hazel eyes.

“Hi..” I just said to the two of them and Aldous just nodded at me then he looked back to Valentin.

“Let’s go, we will be late for class.”

Valentin, snorted.

“Why do we even have to go to class-“

“Valentin.”

“Fine!” Valentine shook his head then looked back at me.

“I'm rally sorry about your head. Gotta go now so..see you around!” He said before he waved at me and started to walk away.

“Bye.” Aldous said before he turned his back.

No one even waited for my goodbye.

I exhaled sharply.

Two good-looking guys just entertained my morning. I mentally laugh then I shook my head as I started to walk to my first class of the day. 

But I stopped when my way was blocked by someone whose aura is releasing darkness.

“Enjoying your morning, Miss Morretti? Huh?”

I swallowed hard and stopped on my track as I look at Professor Schaeffer’s face as he looks as if he is going to strangle my neck anytime!

What did I do?

I swallowed hard.

"Professor.." I whispered as I felt my sweat became cold.

He eyed me.

"Follow me." he said before he turned his back to me.

Hesitantly I followed him.

I don’t know what he needs and I can’t just say no because he is my Professor!

So we walked silently going to his office. He let me in and made me sit on the couch as he closed the door. I looked around, there are just few things inside his office, I think he is into minimalist living.

“Sienna.” He called me that made me almost jumped in surprise.

His handsome face suddenly looks amused.

I swallowed hard and looked anywhere but him. Why does he look so good? He doesn’t look like a professor! With his coat and tie, he looks more like a business tycoon or something..

“Yes, Professor?”

I heard him exhaled harshly so I looked at him.

His jaw is clenched and his eyes are throwing daggers at me.

“Why are you calling me professor?”

“Because you are my Professor?” I asked confusedly that made him look more annoyed.

“I told you to call me Vladimir when we are alone!” he said irritatedly.

I shook my head.

“That is improper-“

“It is not,” he said firmly before he licked his lips which my eyes followed by when I noticed that he is looking at me I looked away.

"I think I really can't do that-"

“Sienna! Just do what I have said.” He hissed which made my eyes grew wide.

I think the Professor has a temper, so I should not push him to his limit.

“Okay.” I nodded as I looked down at my hands on my lap.

If he is not just my professor or a family friend, I will not follow him!
