Dream Demon

The day I unraveled

My name is Yume Akuma. In case you didn't know already, this story is about how I turned into a ghoul. If you're looking for a happy ending, you picked the wrong story.

Anyways, it began on the day of my birthday. I went to buy myself another hot chocolate with the little money I had at the cafe known as Anteiku. Yes, I know that they sell coffee also, but I just seem to love hot chocolate more. I decided to bring my sketch book with me so that I could possibly do some drawings.

I was flipping through the pages. I began to realize how much I improved on my drawings, if you compared stick figures to chibis. Suddenly, I came to a stop when I saw crimson red pages that were stuck together with blood from that time.

I started to work on a sketch of a ghoul, but not just a ghoul, a unique hybrid. I managed to finish the drawing, but I didn't have enough time to color it.

I was debating so much on what colors to use that I ended up bumping into someone.

"Oh...um...sorry about that." I looked up to find a guy with bright orange hair smiling. I could tell that he was looking at my sketchbook just by the look on his face. "Woah. Did you draw these?" He asked.

"Yeah." I hid half of my face behind my sketchbook.

"Hey, we should totally be friends." The guy extended his hand towards me. "My name is Hideyoshi Nagachika, but that's probably a mouthful, so just call me Hide."

"Sure. My name is Yume." I shook his warm hand.

"Well, hope to see you again soon." Hide waved at me.

"Yeah, me two." I said before I left the cafe.

It started to get dark out, so I decided to head home. I recently made a birthday cake for myself which eventually became my dinner. 'Ah, I almost forgot!' I thought to myself. See, there are these skin colored cubes that I have to put in my food otherwise my food would technically not be edible for me. I looked at my clock. 11:59. One more minute until it's my birthday.

When the clock stroke midnight, I felt an unusually unbearable pain in my right eye. No matter how loud I scream, nobody will come and save me. I eventually became unconscious, but the pain still haunted me.

........................................................................

When I came to, I found myself in a nearby ally way. 'I must've slept walk here'. The pain in my eye went away.
I went to go look at myself in a broken mirror shard. When I saw my reflection, I was terrified when I saw my right eye. "Am I...am I a g-ghoul!?"
