The Shadow Tag

Chapter 1: The New Home

I had him under my grasp, my grip getting harder and harder seeing the victim under bare hands... my hands, covered in blood and dirt... I see their face turning blue and their eyes glossy as they as are slowly losing oxygen.

"Kiraaa" I heard a voice shout my name but at first I didn't recognise it, I'm so lost right now.

"KIRAA!" This time it was a scream and I snapped to realise it was her, my girl. I blinked as I turned to look what she screaming at and at that moment I saw a truck at full speed about to hit me and my victim under me. I bared my teeth. I hunched my body in a pounce position and roared as everything went slow motion. With my life flashing before me, I turned towards it and pounced at it....

*** 7 months earlier***

"Kiraaaa" I hear my mother screech my name. I swear my name being shouted all the time is going to be the death of me I think to myself.

As the typical teen I shouted back from my room "YES MOTHER, WHAT YOU WANT!" After shouting I had to rub my throat with how rough it feels "fuck" I hiss to myself waiting for my mother's response.

"Come heerrrr-ee" my mother's response made me chuckle a little as her voice had broken half way saying "here".

"Urg fiinnneee" I groaned back.

Realising I have to walk down stairs out of my warm spot of my bed is heart breaking but as I got up I heard my phone go off, I grinned to myself knowing who it is "heeyyyaa xxxxx" it shown on the screen, I quick grab my phone without a thought and messaged her back with a cheeky grin.

"hi, you excited for the party soon?xxxxx" lost in thought I heard

"KIRA!" I jumped, oops I forgot my mom been asking for me.

"What are you playing at come help sort the house out" she said with a hint of annoyance in her tone. She walks past me with a box full of stuff.

"Sorry I was in thought and talking so yeah" I say trying to avoid telling her the truth just yet. "Oh mom" I said as a reminded myself of something

"yes, what?" She snapped trying to figure where to put the box.

"I...erm. Them dreams are back..." I say looking down avoiding eye contact knowing mother will be upset, I try to wonder what it all means because every time we move to another house the dreams happen for a few months and then stop. Like I don't even know myself but there has to be a reason coz lately they feel more like memories than dreams... my dogs barks took me out my wonder "Marley!!Mitzy!" I said in the happiest voice I've got. Then I see my auntie she has been looking after them till we get sorted with the new home.
