Every story has an ending. Well, that's how it is supposed to be

~Shiru's POV~
I could feel someone watching me, while I walked back to my home at the end of a really hard day of work, but I shrugged it off. It's not like there would be someone interested in a plain little girl like me. I stopped as the light turned from yellow to red. Damn it.... "Those lights needed an eternity to switch back to green!", I thought to myself and so I waited and stared into space, not really noticing the cars passing by in a speed as if there was a race they needed to win. After 3 minutes of waiting, the light went from red through yellow to green and I started to walk again.

-A few minutes later in front of the front door-

I looked for my keys, but it seemed as if my bag was a black hole. After a few swears and a few more minutes I found them, opened my door, closed it behind my back and quickly locked it. It's not the safest neighborhood and if you aren't careful enough you can easily end up like the woman, that was murdered a few months ago in the apartment next to mine. I turned the lights on, closed the curtains and fell onto the couch. My head fell back and i closed my eyes for a minute. Finally... A moment to myself and finally silence. No annoying customers, that wanted to know my opinion of how fat or skinny they look like in the things they've chosen, only to complain how they don't look nice in those things after I told them that they looked really good in it. Some people are so confusing! Why are they asking if they don't even care what i say anyway?
I searched a second for the remote and turned on the TV. I looked at the clock, 9pm. Well, time for some news. As usual they talked about the war, which is all over the world. And how cruel it is and so on. To tell the truth... It didn't interest me, because it was the same every single boring day. And everyone knew that Los Angeles was one of the last and safest places in the world due to the many soldiers, tanks and other military things. When the war began, the president sent the army to three big cities of the USA. Los Angeles was one of them, the second one was of course Washington D.C., the third one was New York. When information about this plan came out, the people who were left ran as fast as they could. But they couldn't let everyone into the cities. Yeah, they left many people outside. And it was the same as if they had killed them right away. I was lucky, because I lived in a little town a few minutes away from LA, so I was one of the lucky people who arived first and were let in without complains.
Well after they talked long enough about the war, they went on to some less serious topics, like a new building in the city called ''black garden''. A picture followed and it was a tall building with many windows at the front and the back. The windows were made of black glass and the front door was surrounded by black roses. I didn't listen to what they said about it, because i was kinda fascinated by the view. It seemed a little scary due to the fact that it was completely in black, but still kind of beautiful. A silent and mysterious coolness you could say. They stopped talking about ''black garden'' and went on with some things I didn't find interesting, so I switched the channel and stopped when I found one that showed X-Men. Yeah, I love x-men and if i would have to decide on one of their powers I would definitely take wolverines. I mean... living for don't know how long AND having those claws? What could one wish for more? After the movie I took a shower and finally went to bed, but as I looked at the little table beside my bed I was wide awake again. On the table was a ticket to a concert. A concert of a band I loved the most. Black veil motherfucking brides! And the concert was the next day! Super.... Yeah, of course I could sleep easily...NOT! I was way too excited, but I bit my lip a little and decided that I would have to sleep now or I wouldn't make it tomorrow due to my bad habit of sleeping for too long. So I slept and a dream came up, which I hadn't for a long long time

~The dream~

I stood on the floor. Smoke filling my lungs and the heat of the dangerous red on my skin. I looked into the deadly red of the flames and couldn't move. I couldn't think. Suddenly, a hand was on my shoulder and a voice talked to me: ''Girl, you have to come with me. You can't stay here. I have to take you with me, out of here.'' ''No!'', i screamed ''He is still in there!'' , tears were flowing down my cheeks. And dropping down. „We don't have time to look for someone else and the flames are already everywhere. Come on. We have to go.'' I looked up, tears making my sight blury. I saw a man in the uniform of a fireman. He picked me up and brought me outside. I screamed and reached out my hand. Screaming: "NO! HE'S STILL THERE!"

Once out, the place changed.

I stood in a room, or more like... I stood, but everything was dark. A light turned on. A white light. Shining down on me and I saw a mirror in front of me. I looked into the black eyes of a five year old me. She looked back. And as she recognized me, she began to cry. It broke my heart. She looked so fragile, as if she has to be protected. I made a step towards the mirror, wanted to hug her. Comfort her. She just stood there, silently crying and looking into my eyes. „Why?“, her voice nothing more than a broken whisper „Why me?!“ , this time she screamed at the top of her lungs.

I woke up. Sweating and breathing fast. My heart raced as if there was no tomorrow. I looked at the clock: 5am. I went to the kitchen, drank a glass of water and went back to sleep. This time a dreamless sleep.

Notes

So I edited it and changed a few words. It's still not perfect, but it's better and I can work with it.
