Haunted Dream

Hey...

Wake up, open your eyes.

Hey...

Wake up, I want to show you something.

Hey...

Wake up!

Katheryn Moana. Her eyes opened wide. The dream earlier, as well as the craziest heartbeat, managed to wake the beautiful lady with aquamarine-colored eyes. Her breath was heavy, so panting with a forehead wet with sweat. Don't know what made her feel like she had run for miles.

She wakes up. Rising from her lying position, and immediately surprised when she saw a small and beautiful figure was closing her eyes. Breathing regularly, sleeping comfortably with a thick blanket up to the chest to protect the tiny body from the cold night air that enters from the open window.

"Who is this little girl?" she asked in confusion, her brow furrowed. What made her even more confused was, this little girl slept on the same spot where she had been lying before. Had she been crushing this beautiful girl?

CREAK!

She glanced sideways quickly. Right in the direction of the opened door. A little stunned because the sound that was generated earlier was quite loud. She was getting confused. Looking at the two adults, a woman and a man with panicked faces staring at the bed. More precisely, staring at the beautiful girl whose sleep was starting to be disturbed. It was evident from the soft moaning sound typical of a small kid that began to be heard.

"Who are you?" Katheryn asked when she couldn't contain her curiosity. She even stepped foot, closer to the foreign adult woman. Her face is beautiful, there are already a few fine wrinkles around her eyes. How old is she? Around 35 years old maybe?

"Sorry, who are you?" And Where am--"

Swoosh!

Katheryn blinked in surprise. It took the woman a few seconds to realize that her body had just been penetrated. Her eyes bulged, 'What was just happened?!' She was clearly starting to panic, then looked at her own hands. To see it is transparent or not. And it's clearly not!

"How can, did that woman walked past my whole body just like that?? It's like, I'm just a fucking wind?! What the- Could it be that I'm already...." Her whole body suddenly trembled. She shook her head quickly. "A-am I already dead?!"

"But, where am I now?! Why am I here? And who are these people?! Why are they so foreign to me? I don't even fucking know who they are!" The panic still struck, but her focus shifted when she heard a soft voice coming from the bed. "Papa? Mama?" A slightly hoarse lisp voice was heard.

"For God's sake! I'm so confused. What's going on here?!" It felt like the question just kept coming out of her mouth. But she tried to be quiet for a moment. Wanted to try to understand the situation. Watching in silence the interactions of all these strangers.

The Mama smiled. Her beautiful face that usually looks radiant now looks so gloomy. "Papa," the girl called her Papa again then stretching her little arms. The Papa also smiled. His face that always displays a haughty expression immediately changes 180 degrees when dealing with his beloved daughter.

The haughty man carried his daughter in his two strong hands. The girl hugged her father. She misses her Papa because they haven't seen each other in almost a week. The girl's gaze turned to her mama. "Mama."

At first, the atmosphere was so emotional and warm. Full of love and affection between the two parents and their daughter. But everything changed when suddenly, someone rushed in and shouted for his master.

CREAK!

"MASTER...!"

Katheryn gasped at the screams. Not to mention the sound of the door opening roughly again. "They have come, Master," he said in a trembling voice.

Katheryn frowned. "What are they talking about? Who's coming?"

Just as Katheryn had asked such a question, she was again startled by the sound of gunshots.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

She reflexively stared at the door. Then look again one by one the faces of everyone in this room."Papa? What's wrong? What happened? Why do Papa and Mama look so scared?" The question that escaped from those tiny lips made Katheryn nod her head as well. She was also waiting for an answer.

The Papa just smiled. "Hide with your Mama. Papa will be out for a while. Everything will be fine. I promise." After that, Papa handed his daughter's tiny body in the arms of Mama. He kissed his wife and his little daughter. "Hide," he whispered to his wife.

For some reason, Katheryn felt suffocated when she saw a single tear start to roll down the stranger's cheek. "Please, come back," she said in a low, hopeful voice.

The husband nodded his head. "Take care of yourself and our daughter without me. I promise I'll be back." After that, h left with the man he had considered as his right hand. Leaving his woman and daughter. Katheryn put her ear to it so she could hear what they were talking about clearly. "Aurora," called the woman softly.

'Ah, so her name is Aurora?'

"Mama? Why are you crying? Don't cry," said Aurora as she wiped her mama's cheeks gently with her tiny thumb.

"Where is Papa going? Why is he leaving again? Papa just came home. He won't be leaving me for too long, will he?" asked Aurora a little hoarse. The sad look was very clear.

The mama couldn't help but smile to find her daughter asking like that. Her lips were about to speak, but again— the sound of a gun thumping was heard. This time it was wilder than the previous one.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

"Shh... it's okay. We'll hide, you'll be safe with me."

Katheryn could see the mama open the secret door, then run inside with her daughter. Katheryn winked. At first, she wanted to follow, but she was more curious about the sound of the gun firing outside. Her whole body shook with fear. "W-was there a murder here?" she asked fearfully. She walked slowly towards the balcony. A rush of wind directly hit her body, which was wrapped in a black satin nightgown. Katheryn was cold, but her heart felt even colder than when her eyes saw how the man who had been called Papa by the pretty girl fell on his back with a hole in his head.

BANG!

Not just one shot, but five shots at a time,

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

"MASTER!!!"

A lot of blood splattered, the atmosphere was very chaotic there. Katheryn couldn't move her body. It's really stiff. Tremble so badly. The fear had filled the entire core of her body. She looked at the man who had just been shot. She was taken aback by surprise when the man looked at her with a gentle smile. His mouth seemed to say something. But Katheryn didn't know what it was.

"W-what--"

"Katheryn."

"Katheryn!"

"KATHERYN!"

"WAKE UP!!"

"HA...!"

Katheryn woke up immediately covered in sweat. Her eyes were bulging, the red veins were clearly visible there. Her breath hitched, her hands gripping the bed sheets tightly. "What is wrong with you?" asked a shirtless man.

"Are you all right? You look really messy, Kath. I just went out to buy you breakfast. And I saw you with this mess condition. Did you have a bad dream? Or are you sick?" The man placed the two breakfast packets he had just bought on the nightstand. His ass had been sat on the side of the bed. Right next to the woman. Katheryn looked at him. "Why?" asked the man again.

"Don't worry, I'm here," the man said soothingly.

Katheryn clasped her hands. She hugged the man, "I had a bad dream. The same dream. The dream came back to haunt me again. What really happened? Why do I keep having the same dream all this time?"
