"Wake up, the awakening is coming soon." I hear a voice in my dreams and I grit my teeth. "Shut up! You don't know anything!" I hear myself saying.
"Yes I do, I am you, aren't I? I am inside your head, and I know every single mistake you've ever made." I hear a voice like mine say even though I didn't say it. From the darkness I see a shape of a human forming out of darkness and I find myself looking at a different version of myself. Suddenly a flame lights up in between us and the flame spreads in a circle around me. "You're trapped, what are you gonna do? The awakening is soon so you need to master your skill before time runs out." I clench my fists and take a shaky breath. It's fine. Just a dream, just a stupid nightmare. "Oh are you getting scared already?" The other version of me taunts.
I turn away from the other version of me and laugh. "Scared? No, after all, You are me, you are scared of what I am scared of."
I hear a chuckle and turn to see Jason looking at me with an evil grin. "Stop it! Leave him alone!" The fake Jason chuckles and it grows to a laugh. "I knew it, you can't leave your friends."
I grit my teeth more. "Leave them alone before I kick your butt to the middle of next week."
The fake Jason stops laughing and looks at me. "What did you say you worthless brat?" I clench my fists and make my stare ice cold. "Stop trying Zoe, you can't beat me." With that the fake Jason turns back into me and pulls out a knife. "Time for you to wake up." The other version of me lunges at me through the fire and I wake up in a cold sweat.
