As I stare into its black hollow eyes, I saw myself and my old ways 'I thought I moved passed this' I gently whispered to myself. Pale flaky skin glistening in the moon light like an old dusty jewel, 'we don't choose who we are but we do choose when' it said in a low voice. I started running but everything in the forest tried to stop me, the branches stretching out like claws, weeds tripping me up, owl's hoo'ing in the back ground.
I stop for a moment and just stood completely still; I reach for my face and feel around, 'I'm in a dream' I say. 'IM DREAMING' I yell. I close my eyes and scream 'WAKE UP' but when I open my eyes I see the thing from before. 'You are not dreaming my love, but you will wake up soon. You may be in your body or you may be in a stranger's body who ever really knows' it said while floating around me.
It stopped and I didn't dare move, I feel a hand on my back and shudder under its touch. 'If you're going to kill me just do it already' I say calmly but my voice still sounded shaky, 'my dear if I wanted to kill you I would have already done it, but I have special plans for you'. It floated towards my face and whispered into my ear 'soon you soon my precious flower'.

I wake with a jolt, I hurl myself out of bed and run to the bathroom, I proceed to empty the bile that was accumulating in my throat, I manage to get it all over me, I take off my bed shorts and them my t shirt; I go to scratch my back where the tag had tickled me but when I touch my back it burns. I feel around for what it could be I feel a raised part and yell for my roommate. 'Hey Susana, can you look at my back for a quick sec'. 'Yeah sure, I'll be there in a minute' she replied through the thin walls. She walks in and says turn around so I do, she doesn't say anything but rushes out of the bathroom and hands me her hand held mirror, and I give her a confused face, I turn and lift up the mirror. I see the outline of a flower a lotus, my favourite flower. The lines so small and thin but you would be able to see it form a mile away, I was so confused and dumbfounded I didn't know what to do. I was snapped out of my thoughts when Susana spoke 'what did you do, did you do some kinky shit you weren't aware of' we giggle about it for a second but I stop when I feel something wet on my back, I touch my back and when I see my hand its covered in black liquid, my eyes widen and I don't move or speak or think, I'm just in complete and utter shock. My mouth moves but no words come out... Susana stares at me thinking of what to say. The words weren't there but only quivering sounds. She just walks out, I follow; she grabs her laptop and starts franticly typing. The only sound that could be heard was the clicking of keys, then she finally spoke.

'grab some candles and put them in a circle' I do as she says rushing into our rooms, bathroom and hall way. I catch a glimpse of her in the kitchen grabbing salt and sage. 'what did you google?' I say setting down the candles. 'I'm trying to get rid what ever is going on with  you, i may not know what's wrong  but even I can tell something is just not right with that, I mean your blood was black for Christ sakes' she frantically yelled. i didn't say anything just wanting this thing to be over. I continue running rampant and placing the candles in a circle i start to feel faint, light headed, my vision begin to blur my body feels sluggish, i don't feel anything except an icy feeling on my back, my eyes close but before they shut I see Susana running for me and that thing holding her back.

black, i feel as if I'm in that scene form stranger things, where 11 firsts meets the domogorgan. i'm running in every direction. it appears in front of me but it slowly changes into the form of a man, pale skin albino almost. he walked closer to me the to darkness seem to fade into the same forest form before but its light airy and less scary then before, i hear birds happily chirping and singing. "Hello my dear flower, what a pleasure it is to see you again" he strides towards me and gently strokes my cheek, "Why me, what do I have to do with all this" I say as calmly as  could. It juts giggles "My dear, how could you not know" he snaps his fingers and we enter a wooden cabin  with my great grand parents standing in a circle of red on the floor the faint smell of blood lingered in the air, candles and symbols surround the circle. they start chanting their eyes rolling back into their skulls they place three things into the circle a wooden tool, a piece of pure gold and a baby. i examine the baby and i see it has the same birthmark as me, a sideways hourglass middle left on the torso. "Is that me?" I say turning my head to look at the thing. "Yes my darling it is, I'm just here to collect my end of the deal, i was meant to have you when you turned 18 but I wanted to watch you grow into a beautiful woman". it was just turned then clicked its fingers and we were back to the forest, it looking more friendly and more lush, flowers of the prettiest colours, but the one that catches my eye, a lotus in the most vibrant blue in amongst all the pinks reds yellows and oranges, it was just sitting in a small pond, filled with lush green leafs and stems
