" hey, Stella. Wake up, we're here "
I heard Bella's familiar voice talking to me as she patted my arm
I opened my eyes and took a deep breath, adjusting to my vision that I didn't realize that the car was already parked outside in the cafe.
"Dad is waiting for us inside " Bella continues, I only nod at her and leave my bag at the car
shutting the door as I follow her inside. The cafe where me and dad constantly eat dinner together every Thursday
" Stella, dear," a familiar voice of a woman says.
I saw Cara, the beautiful lady who was working in the cafe walking towards me with a smile on her face.
She wrapped her arms around me tightly causing me to smile and embrace her back
" It's been two years since the last time you stepped foot inside the cafe huh... And oh my, Bella, is that you? " she shockingly asks and then to my sister
Maybe Bella couldn't remember her anymore as she looked awkwardly when Cara hugged her. After a while, we took a sit in the corner of the cafe, it's small yet cozy place as we waited for our order
" so, how's school girls? " dad begins. I glanced at Bella to see her on her phone, so I turned to Dad and smiled
" it was great! Bella and I met new friends and they're nice to us " I simply replied
**************
When we got back in the house, it was already night
and I removed my clothes, letting them fall on my feet to the floor as I wrapped my white fluffy towel around my body.
I walk out of my room and walk past Bella's room to see her talking to someone on the phone, then I hear Mom's voice on the other line
already considering that they're having a conversation together. I shut the door behind me and placed my towel on the
The time I stepped foot inside the bathroom, suddenly the air changed. It went so cold and silent that it almost felt suffocating to be inside here again, but why am I feeling this way?
I took a deep breath and turned on the shower, shutting the blinds and letting the water touch my skin.
I shut my eyes and stroked my long hair, this was the only bathroom in the house and it was only small but fitted everything.
" Stella "
Out of nowhere, I heard an old woman's voice whispering my name in my ear. A loud gasp escaped my lips as I immediately opened my eyes and looked around me
And yet I'm alone
Am I hearing things?
I asked myself, I swallowed the lump in my throat and faced the shower, putting the shampoo on my palm and starting rubbing it on my scalp.
The silence was making me uncomfortable, now that the unknown woman's voice is stuck in my head, I won't know if my thoughts were just made up.
When I was done, I stepped out of the shower and wrapped the towel around me
I look at my reflection in the mirror as I brush my teeth, spitting out the water in the sink until out of nowhere, the plastic glass lands in the ground.
I leaned down to pick it up, but when I looked back in the mirror I almost let out a scream
My back met the wall and I didn't take my eyes off my reflection. What did I just see?
I catch my breath and feel my heart pounding harder in my chest. It was my reflection in the mirror and yet when I looked back, my eyes were no longer green. But instead, a red scarlet mist surrounds it.
I pulled out the stairs and rushed back to my room. Forget it, forget it, forget it
I repeated in my head as I started drying my hair with the towel. It's not real, I'm just imagining things. My mind continues.
And that same night, I lay on my bed, staring at the glowing stars on the wooden ceiling.
It's my first time encountering things like that. And should I believe it? I sighed loudly and turned to my side, shutting my eyes and forcing myself to sleep.
The next morning I woke up early again, I found myself in the kitchen, making Dad his lunch for the day.
He told me that the meal I made for him yesterday was so good that he wanted to have it again
I was wearing my outfit for today at school, a top that I bought from a local thrift store in Arizona and a short brown skirt.
My hair is simply not styled today as I grab a piece of toast from the toaster and eat it
Putting the cooked pasta on Dad's lunch container and shut it, adding the other snacks inside as I place a cute note on the top. 'Be safe today - love, Stells :)'
I smiled and placed it on the table so he could spot it immediately. I grabbed my mug of coffee and took a sip of it, feeling the caffeine boost my system.
Then I remembered what happened to me last night again, I can't help but not to sigh. Maybe it's just a dream?
" hi, good, you finally awake "
Then I jumped on my soot when hearing Bella's voice speak out of nowhere in my back
" god! You people should stop scaring me like that! " I argued.
As Bella walked to the kitchen and poured herself juice into the glass, she took a sip of it and glanced at me. Examining me that made me curious
" you have dark circles around your eyes " Bella acknowledged and pointed her finger into hers, making me roll my eyes and groan quietly
" ignore it. I woke up on the wrong side this morning " I replied to her, causing her to only chuckle and nod her head.
" anyways let's go, I don't want to be late," she says and walks out of the kitchen.
As I sat inside Bella's truck, I listened to music through my headphones.
Looking outside in the window as there was no traffic today on the road since there were only dew cars and trucks driving past, today was a gloomy day in Forks
Making me slip out my camera from my bag and take a shot of the trees in the forest. Removing my headphones from my ear
" last night, something weird happened to me " I begin, not looking up as Bella glances at me
" tell me," She says, making me take a deep breath and put the camera back in my bag.
" you won't gonna believe me, no one will if I say it " I replied and leaned back on the seat
" That's why you have to tell me "
" fine... Last night, when I was in the bathroom. I heard an unknown woman's voice calling my name once, then when I looked back at the mirror. My eyes, it's so strange. Like there's a red mist on my both eyes " I explained and turned to my sister
I watch as her facial expression slowly turns into laughter, making me face-palm myself.
" see! No one believes me " I said in frustration.
"It's not funny! Maybe it's just hallucinations or something " Bella protest while laughing.
