The Prophecy

Awaken

"Carter !"
My eyes open as I hear my name being called. I'm still half asleep, why do I have to wake up I'm pretty sure it's 4Am.
"Carter!"
Ugh. Whose calling me at this ungodly hour?"I'm not gonna call you again, so you better wake up !!" . Oh God I know those death threats, that sweet voice can strike fear in the eyes of any man on the planet. My mother , she's 5'6 of pure furry . Ah ! what I'm I doing, if I don't wake up she'll surely kill me.
Lemme just grab my phone, crap where is it I always lose it, and frankly I'm too tired to look. I rushed to the side of my bed to get my favourite shirt, black, long sleeved, arm tight with a red monster scratch placed slightly bent.

I then rushed down to the kitchen were my mother was, God I'm terrified of her. Ever since dad died when I was 2 years old she has been a mother and a father to me at the same time.
"I called you once and I called you twice, you almost made me call you a third time, it's almost 07:30 am, what the bloody hell were you doing up there!?" . It's always amazed me how's she spent over 17 years here but she still has her British accent. I thought after some years it fades away, even just a bit but I guess she's a special case.

" uhhh sorry mum I over slept, my alarm didn't go off and when you called me I was almost certain it was 4am." I chuckled. Looking down only to realise I'm in my boxers.
" here ! " she said whilst throwing a pair of black jeans in my direction . How does she know what I'm thinking at all times.
" it's called mother's intuition dear boy " she said with an almost evil smile on her face. Wait what how did she know... I knew it, I knew she was a witch ever since she found my favourite baseball cap, which I swear to God one of local bullies threw in the lake 10 years ago .

"Aren't you gonna get dressed ?"

" Oh right!"

" Hurry up, you can't be late for your first job !"
" hey I've had plenty of jobs, last year I was a life guard at the beach. And not to brag but I was the best one there." I said confidently.
"Oh yeah then why were you fired ? " my mom said knowing exactly why. " it's because you punched my boss in the face! " I exclaimed, whilst laughing a little.

" well he shouldn't have called me a bad cook !"

" you shouldn't have been dating in the first place!" I said with a bit of anger in my voice . " well potato, po-ta-to" she said whist gesticulating her hands up and down. This woman is impossible, such moments make me wonder how she looks like she's in her early 20s but she's 53, it baffles me really .

7: 56 am is the time as I stare at my watch, " oh crap ! We gotta go I'm freaking late !" . "Hey , insults are not allowed in my house !", she said whilst whispering dumb ass under her breath, but I heard her quite clearly .

"Hey but I'm not in your house, I'm outside, come on let's go ! " I replied. Things would be so much easier if she let me drive her car. I don't know why she doesn't I've already got my licence , so it's no big deal.

We got in the car, I've always hated this car, I don't know why, I just always have, but I've always wanted to drive it. The library was 14 blocks away, close to the mall. I got a job as substitute librarian, it's not a job I wanted but it's a job that will earn me some money for the rest of the summer.
We started off.

"Hmm?" By the window as my mom's driving, I see a girl about the same age as me looking at me as if she knew me .

"There's something wrong here ."
"What did you say ? " my mother asked, whilst focused on the road .

Suddenly the same girl appears in front of the car, she looked directly at me and whispered "Awaken, Gareth Greystone, your time has come." This all happened in less than a second but I felt like I was listening to her speak for hours.
