My eyes flattered open as I flew myself out of bed, the sun shining bright as ever. My ocean blue eyes adjusted to the sunlight from the window right beside my bed. I was confused on why on earth that Dream- no.. nightmare was. I grabbed my phone that was on my bed side. I checked the time and it was 8:24 am
"Eh? Wasn't it the same time in the dream?" I questioned. I sighed and thought it was just a coincidence and got up since it's not long before my online classes start. I yawned and got up and went to brush my hair, even if it's quite short. I grabbed the brush and went to the mirror in the bathroom and combed my messy brown hair. I smiled and went to the kitchen to get breakfast and say hello to my mother but when I entered, she wasn't there..

"She's not here? That's weird.." I told myself before making a cup of coffee and then going back to my room. For some odd reason all of this felt like the same as the dream I had. I sat my coffee on the desk and sat down on my comfy chair. I turned on my PC and opened Zoom, getting ready for class. I checked the time and it was 8:45 am. I have a glare at the time. "What on earth?.. Ya know what, just forget it. Leila, you're just stressed out. Everything is fine!" I told myself, trying to stay positive and forget this weird coincidence going on today.

It's been two hours and not a single class as started yet. Did I try joining the wrong class? Was there a problem with Zoom again? I wasn't sure. All I knew was that it won't open.. and the fact that this still reminds me of that dream. With a sigh I looked around my room, messy as always. I then grabbed a book and decided to read it to let the time pass and hope I'm not dreaming again.

The book was quite depressing and sad for some reason, putting me in a negative aura. It was strong, just like in the dream. I then put the book down and sighed. Then I heard that same voice....

"Everything is alright, don't be sad!"

...This can't be the same dream.. right? I looked up, only to see a neon and golden portal with the same skeleton hand from the dream reaching out towards me. My breathing got heavy as I panicked. "W-who in the hell are you.. what are you!?-" I questioned but....

Something came changing towards me, making my vision darken and blurry...

I never got to see what attacked me
