The Power within Me

chapter 3

It was pretty early. Her watch ticked 5 minutes after 7 am. She was always the one to wake up early. No matter the amount of sleep she had. Sometimes she woke up before the sun was even up. She looked outside her window just like any other morning. She held a cup of coffee on one hand and a cookie in the other. She peacefully watched the cars take over the street. Such a chaos every morning. But it felt peaceful watching them.

She kept thinking about last night. How she felt that presence in her room. And it was not something scary, nothing like in those scary movies. No, it was something comfortable. She finished the last cookie of the batch of cookies she got from the kitchen and proceeded to change into her usual outfit, a formal working skirt and a buttoned long sleeve. She put her hair up in bun. A few strands falling out of it.

She starred at her reflection just like every other day. She knew she was very pretty. She was blessed with a graceful curvaceous body. She had dark luscious hair. Her lips were full, very plump. Very pink. Her face was slim, her cheek bones propped out. Her eyebrows were nicely shaped. Her smile was pearly white. Those teeth whiteners worked great. However she couldn't help but see that she was broken. Her eyes shone a happy color but starring deeply you noticed the kind of girl she was in the inside.

She was naive. She was innocent but she has witnessed violence first hand. Sure she was innocent but not like she wished to be. Being good comes from having bad experiences. In this case, she was the bad. Everyone failed to see it but, oh, she knew. She knew how she was. It was rare. There was two people inside of her. It was like she was the moth but she was also the flame. She was the moth that attracted everything as if she was the light. Her innocence only added to the burning flame. She scared herself. She was scared that she will let loose. She didn't know what to expect. She was such a mystery.

She sighed and looked away. She walked towards her bed. She grabbed her cheap 15 dollar bag and walked out of her apartment. She left everything like it was. She'll come back later and fix everything up after work. She walked outside her little shelter and waited for the bus patiently.

There was no one at the bus stop. She glanced down at her watch and saw that she had quite some time before the bus came. She was left there waiting at the bus stop. She crossed her legs patiently. She was left there stranded with her own thoughts eating away her mind. Back to her obliviousness, she sat there and waited. But yet, she couldn't help but feel certain pairs of eyes starring at her. She felt like she was being watch. She looked up. She took in notice the two dark orbs starring right into hers. She blinked.

They were gone.
