A quiet morning, the clock in the room could be heard ticking, the sun had yet risen.

Her eyes, red like fire and her heart beating fast, she jerked up from her bed facing the wall opposite her, panting, as she felt a hand on her shoulder, "Ella, why do you always wake up this way?"

Ella blinks and her eyes changes to normal. "What way?" she asked her roommate.

"Like you had a nightmare"

"I.. I don't remember anything"

Ella stammered as she got up from the bed "I have to get ready for school" she turns and leaves the room, leaving Cloe confused.

    My name is Ella, seventh daughter of my mom who is a seventh daughter, such a surprising coincidence, I never knew my dad, and trust me, my mom never wants to talk about it. I'm a two hundred level student, studying law in TOA.

   And that was my roommates Cloe, she's always been a good friend, she knows nothing about me except of course, the usual stuff, not because I'm secretive, just, I really know know much about myself, so, there's nothing to tell.

   And yeah, I wake up that way every morning since I turned seventeen, and I don't know why, neither can I remember anything I dream of.

Well, life goes on...

   "And that brings us to the end of this topic, I hope we all understand" the lecturer asked standing akimbo "yes sir" the students murmured "see you on Monday then" Mr Kojo said as he adjusted his lagging glasses and headed for the exit. 

     The class is now noisy as everyone is leaving for their next lecture. I had not walked through the door when I felt someone pull me by my hand. "Hi Ella" he said looking straight into my eyes, the cutest guy I had ever met in my whole life, and for some reason he looked really familiar, still staring at him I tried so. Hard to remember where I had seen such charming eyes. 

The man's pulse was calling to me like a siren song, but something about this moment felt...wrong. I had the strangest sense of deja vu, as if I'd lived through this moment before. But I couldn't place it - it felt more like a waking dream than a real memory. My mind was reeling, trying to make sense of the confusion and terror I felt. As the man turned to face me,...I saw a flash of recognition in his eyes. His face was a blur, but those eyes - they were so familiar. It was as if I'd known him in another life, or perhaps in a past life. He took a step towards me, and the world seemed to slow down around us. Time seemed to stop as we stood there, frozen in place, staring at each other. And then...I heard a scream. It was my own voice, screaming as if from a great distance. And then everything went black, I saw a blade in my hand. The blade was stained with blood, and I realized - I was the one who had stabbed him. And his blood splash on my face, The realization sent a shockwave through my body. And then I saw the man's face clearly for the first time. His eyes were wide with fear and pain, and I knew I'd never forget those eyes.

"HI, uhm, you know me?" I asked feeling unease 

"yes of course, I do know you, very well" he said with a devilish grin on his face. 

"How?" I asked curiously 

"well, let's say, you killed me, remember?" 

"I'm sorry, I'm confused, do I even know you? You sound crazy, if you have been killed as you said how are you here " 

"because I'm a cat with nine lives" he said and winked

"what??" I asked feeling more confused, "what are talking about" 

He looked at me and let out a weird laughter, too calm for my liking "I'm sorry Ella, I'm just pulling your legs, I've just been admiring you for a while" he said as he took my hand and planted a kiss on it. 

May be old school but I found it very charming.

I withdrew my hand "don't do that again" I rebuked as I started walking away. 

"Hey, calm down, I don't mean to upset you" he said following quickly behind me 

"what do you want?" 

"just listen to me" he said as I turned around to to see him still looking calm and unbothered like a new born 

"what do you want?" I said again, this time sternly 

"your audience, we don't have much time" he spoke with charm, I had had enough, I fought against my will not to leave and found my way to the busy streets totally ignoring him and making sure to not look behind me and catch his charm. 

"your life is in danger Ella" he said grabbing my attention, I halt and and turned to face him "what do you mean" I said with obvious fear on my face. 

"the dreams you don't remember, don't you want to know why? Don't you want to know who you are?" 

I felt pressure raising in my blood stream "while are you" I asked almost stammering

"i am thana" he said and laughed 

"what is so funny? " 

"it's funny how you don't know who you are and you are asking who I am" he said and kept laughing calmly, too calm, no normal person laughed that calm unless he's a psychic or a psychopath

"that's it, leave me alone now or I'll call the corps" I said with anger raising in my voice. 

"and tell them what?" 

"That you are harassing me!" 

"Who!??" he asked suprised

"you of course!!" I screamed at him and noticed people stop to stare at me like and unfamiliar spirit lost in the middle of a busy street and trying to scream my way back to hell. 

"oh commmmmoon, no one can see me" he said shrugging dramatically 

"what!??" 

"you are the only one seeing me right now, no one else can"
