The dream.
publish date:
2020-10-18 20:55:35I was running, away from God knows what, like my life depended on it. I made my way into the woods and ran past the gigantic trees. The night was cold and harsh, I could feel it on my bare skin like a thousand stabs. My heart rate increased as the steps of whatever or whoever got closer every second.
Suddenly I heard howls and for a moment I thought I was hallucinating but the sounds came again clearer and louder. This was not about who was following me but what— something wasn't right somewhere wolves never existed, besides they could only show up during a full moon. At that point in time I didn't want to look up it wasn't so important, just one thing was on my mind I needed a hide-out.
Nothing turned out the way I wanted, there was no fuckin' hide-out and no stop to this nightmare. I was still running but this time I couldn't feel my legs anymore and later on couldn't feel body when I tripped on a huge tree root protruding from the ground face down. The howling sound and steps were already near. I lifted up my bruised face from the ground to look at what was standing ten centimeters ahead of me.
My eyes widened at the sight of large furry legs with claws attached to it. My eye balls rolled from buttom to top as they finally captured the full structure of a craving black wolf. I managed to sit up despite the terrible pains I felt. I slowly crawled backward at every step the fury creature made, for a moment it stopped to let out a loud howl with its face to the sky that's when I noticed the full moon its diverging shy beams were suspending due to the spread out leafy branches of the trees. Seconds later, I heard hundreds of other howls from different angles of the woods, this wolf was communicating with others the earlier I got rid of it the better for me but how could I do this? Didn't remember having any weapon on me.
Think. Think. Think.
My eyes darted around me, looking for any usable object, fortunately they fell on a broken branch, without any second thought I reached for it and held it out to the creature with both hands in defense. I cursed under my breathe at the sight of close to a thousand black, craving, ferocious werewolves. Just for how long had I lost focus?? My hands began to tremble as they drew nearer.
“Don't move.” I managed to say and finally realized how stupid I sounded, was I actually expecting them to obey me? They were senseless creatures for heaven sake. I swiped at the creature with the branch in my hand but it showed no sign of backing off, made a second swipe try but got the branch flying off my hands.
I tried crawling backward again just to feel my back hit against a tree trunk, that was it....the end. I closed my eyes in other not to see them bounce on me. For a moment I didn't feel anything, my watery eyes opened and there was nothing in sight. Where were the mighty wolves? Perhaps they finally got feelings and decided to let me go or something must have scared them. Whatever it was that made them run away saved me and I owe it.
I wiped the warm tear which had already made its way out of my eye on to my cheek and struggled on my feet, glad all those scary creatures were out of my sight— well almost all one was left, wasn't like others, didn't look ferocious neither did it look craving it actually had nothing in common with the others its fur was brown. Why was this one so different? Why didn't it run away with others? Perhaps whatever scared the others didn't scare it?
It came closer, I tried to walk back but I hit the trunk that was when I realized I hadn't made a step away from it since the departure of the other creatures. I slid on to the ground in surrender, eyes firmly shut. Go on, just devour me already. I thought. The creature came closer than it already was and immediately i felt a shean of sweat roll down my face.
Crack!!!
The sound of a broken branch woke me up.Thank goodness. I got out of bed and slightly shifted my curtain to see nothing but the old mapple tree opposite my window. It's probably just the wind acting on an old branch.
“ What a nightmare! ” I muttered.
The clock read three minutes to three am in the morning, didn't feel like going back to bed lest I have a second chapter of the nightmare. I rushed to the bathroom and flushed some water onto my face which met with its reflection in the mirror seconds later.
I pictured the dream on my mirror focusing on the last wolf,couldn't stop wondering why it was totally different from the others; In colour, appearance and even its eyes. There was something familiar about it which reminded of someone. But what? Oh! It's eyes— they were a hue of brown, that familiar brown- like those of— Scott.
I chuckled at the thought. How related was a dream to a guy I barely knew? Its not like he was the only guy with those eyes. I rolled my eyes and made my way to the room.
I laughed at the thought of Jess' face when I tell her I had a ten minutes discussion with Scott at a store when a strange noise took me off guard from outside, without hesitation I jumped out of bed and shifted the curtain just in time to glimpse at someone's silhouette bending towards an alley. For a moment fear paralyzed me. Who was still out there at three am? What was this person looking for? Something wrong somewhere,I couldn't stop but think someone was spying on me, why and who?
Latest chapter
The curse Lies 1
Three minutes to my date's arrival, I was standing infront of my full length mirror digesting my new look. The barely noticeable makeup I had complemented the blush pink lace dress I had on. It was given to me on my sixteenth birthday by my cousin Neiyah.Love at first sight defined the dress and I, well that was before I got it out of its sophisticated rectangular box. Its length was so not me: three inches below my butt. Immediately, I tossed the pieced of material somewhere in my closet until this day. Change is the only constant thing.The doorbell brought me back to earth, my heart began to race with fingers crossed, I prayed everything goes on smoothly as I planned.I smoothen the edges of the hair which led to a perfect ponytail.Here stood a part of my heart, looking dangerously handsome in his immaculate white-rolled up sleeved shirt on a pair of black skinny jeans and black converse. His lips owned a beautiful blood red rose flower
The curse A tour in the past.
This place has a habit of giving me goosebumps, not just the secluded house but the neighborhood too, it was simply lifeless and unhabitable. This place was definitely no way part of town— unreasonable distance from the last house this one and no house after it.How Jess came across this place, is an unanswered question. I realized I had been standing in front of the house for while, not because I was thinking on how to enter but because I was terrified to the core. I leaned my bicycle to a big tree beside Mr. Booky's home.Ok Aud, here we go.I walked up to the door and gave it a knock, another one followed when no reply came up during the first knock. I sighed, he probably wasn't home, perhaps I should go and return some other time. I pivoted to begin my journey back home but was stopped midway into the beginning of the journey by the sudden sound of a iron falling onto the floor. I stared at the tattered house to glue my eyes on the dormer
The curse Unexpected guest.
You will have to pass through me first father.” Lucy protested.Her father's eyes widened in surprise and disappointment. He raised a hand to one of the guards who had already reached for Tony's right hand to stop.Trying to keep calm the king turned to Anna,“ Why is she here Anna? Punishment awaits you for disobedience of royal order. ”“ Leave her out of this father.” Lucy interrupted. “ I acknowledge my mistake upon the land. But you left me with no choice father.”“ You are my only child Lucy and the last thing I'll ever do is hurt you despite your unforgivable mistake.” he walked to his daughter and cupped her cheek with his right hand, his thumb gently stroking her temple accompanied by a faint smile. “ I need just one thing from you daughter.”“ Anything I'll do to save the father of my unborn.”The king flinched at her words. “ I do not want you around him till it is born.”
The curse Confession
“Who has she been seeing?” king Alfred gushed as he looked down at his wife with furrowed brows.“ N-no one your highness.” her face was plastered to the floor with both hands crossed in front of tighs.“ You have the guts to lie in my face Marla? I'll ask you one more time. Who did this to her?” he hurled.With shaky hands and teary eyes, she let go the little information she had been keeping all along concerning her daughter,though it wouldn't help the catastrophic damage.“ Tony he is called.” she lifted her head and tried reaching her husband's arm for a little strength and comfort though she already knew how he would react to it. As right as she was he simply took a step back.“ believe me your highness, I wasn't aware of anything until four weeks ago. I begged her but she wouldn't listen, I tried—”“ You didn't try hard enough woman.” his voice was so loud that it echoed through the empty corridor.

The earlier I did what I had to do, the better for me, and my future too.After what seemed like an hour of stalking, I decided to take actions."Hold on I'll be there in a bit."That was pretty much of a time, considering the slow human moves in addition to the fact she's fe
The curse Second dream
“Your Majesty, her temperature seems to increase each flying second.” Anna reported, her head focused on the marble floor with both hands formally crossed.Queen Marla frowned. Reached for the bed where her only daughter laid.“Dear lord! I hope it's just a little fever.” She Prayed.“Should your highness be informed?” Anna asked. Head still focused to nothing but the floor.Already seated Queen Marla did nothing but nod to the maid. Her eyes gently closed releasing colorless pair of tears. She reached for the towel on Lucy's head and dipped it into the already Luke warm water.“How is she? ” King Alfred stopped pacing back and forth immediately he spotted the man in an immaculate white apron over a pair of pants leaving his daughters room.Worry and fear was now written all over Queen Marla's face.The grey haired doctor appeared with a worried look on his f
