NIGHTMARE

A reasonable definition of truth is to unfold secret's. But what lies are there to be told?

“An 18 -year -old girl has been missing since last month and now the police have found her body. Sadly, they found her dead. They could not explain the reason for her case and are still in the process of investigation. What was surprising was that there was not even a trace of the stabbing nor shooting on the girl's body that could have caused her death. Instead, they found traces of a bite on the side of her neck. It's sounded like there are really a vampire and people believe that it might be true—” I rolled my both eye's after I turn off the TV. 

I heard her complain but I unbothered sip my coffee. 

“Hey. Can't you see I'm watching? Gosh. You're so rude.” She said.

“We were supposed to watch drama, not that.” I uttered.

She glance at me with annoyance in her gaze and quickly did the opposite from what I did earlier. “That is more interesting than that. From what I heard, the girl has been bitten by vampire. You know like in dramas! It's so cool though.” She added and was going to use the remote but I snatched it from her.

“What's so cool about that? Is it that so cool to be dead after being bitten by that thing. And besides, don't listen such a false news. There is no such thing exist. You're probably crazy.” I shook my head.

She really need some help with her mental health. By the way, she's Elisa. My closest friend.

“Didn't you hear the news that the woman had a bite on her neck?” She asked.

So what? I don't believe that. 

I gasp. “Would you please use your brain? What if it's just because of anything else? You will never know.”

“And what if that's also the truth? Come on gurl.” She stated.

Idk how she believes in those things when it is obviously unlikely to happen.

“Whatever. Imma go to bed.” I said out of frustration.

I stood up and head over to my room. I am really tired today because of my work and studies. All I have to do everyday is work and study. That's how my life works. And It's suck.

Before I close my door, she yelled. “Don't forget to lock your window just in case there's a vampire! Oh and also quit that attitude of yours!” Seriously? Gosh! This woman are such pain in my ass.

I did nothing and just ignored her. Her hobby is to tease me. 

Before I lay down on my bed, I took a quick bath. It's just to relax my body. And after that, I set down for my body to rest. 

Dang. I've overworked myself again. My head hurt like fvck and I couldn't do anything but to bear it. I've been going through a lot because of this. And I had to take a regular treatment because of this migraine.

Tss. I would gladly accept If this will be the reason of my death since no one care's. I'm getting tired on everything. When will this end? My family probably wouldn't care if they know my pain. Overall, they care about my lil sister or should I call, 'their lil baby'. 

Other than that, I feel bothered because of those gossip about vampire. You know, I really don't believe in those things that are related to ghost or something scary. Don't get me wrong but what if it's turn out that vampire are true? What'll happen?

“Gosh. Stop thinking nonsense and fvcking go to sleep.” I said to myself and shut my eye's.

It's had nothing to do with me if it's true or not. I can really tell that's it can't be happen.

“Yeah. Never.” I said and I started to feel sleepy. Half forgetting everything.

My sense awaken when I felt like the atmosphere is a little bit intense. But why?

I ought to straighten out my sight to catch a glimpse of my surroundings but the fvck I can't!

I feel someone was trying to cover my eyes yet I can't feel my body. It was as if my tongue had been cut out and I was blinded. The longer it lasts, the deeper my breathing gets. Though I hear nothing but a breathless silent, I feel like someone is watching my struggle.

I flinch when someone placed its cold hands on my cheek and gently touched it. It's like this person, observing me. And I don't fvcking get it why I had to experience this shit right now. Is this a dream?

I felt it lean closer to my ear causing it's breath to touch my neck. “Wake up darling.” As soon as I heard those deep words, my body immediately did get up. 

What the hell?!

I glance at my phone and look at what time it was now. 

“Fvck. It's already 10 in the morning!” I yelled and quickly ran inside the bathroom.

“I really going to break that girl bone after this.” I stated. Elisa used to wake me up every morning but now—agh! Now my professor would definitely scold me! I can't be absent today. We're going to have a quiz this day.

When I saw my reflection in front of the mirror, I stopped. Why is there a bead of tears in my eye? I'm not used to crying and why should I cry?

I just shook my head and washed my face that I was supposed to do.

I laughed after I realized I gone mad like Elisa. “Why am I overacting on such things? It was as if I had experienced strange things—”

But, what is that strange dream? It is my first time to encounter that kind of situation. And I'm not going to lie, it creeps the hell out of me. 

It was a man. Yes it is definitely a man because of his deep voice. Then who is he? Why would he suddenly appear in my strange dream? I guess he's related to me in someway. Because It will be more strange if I had a dream with the person who I don't know.

But even if he's one of my relatives, I still don't know how will I identify him.

I'll just forget it. It is just a dream anyway.

“Better go now than thinking about that.” I said and picked up my things before I set off.

I stopped and looked around.

And I almost fainted from the nervousness and fear that enveloped me. N-no I have to fvcking calm down.

“W-why is everything look old and abandoned? I-It's so dark.” 

I checked my phone again and holy shit, it is really 10 in the MORNING but why it's dark here!

Don't fvcking tell me I'm in my shitty dream again! It's pissed me off!

My hand couldn't help but tremble as I dialed Elisa's number.

“You have dialed a incorrect number. Please try again—” I tweaked my hair off. I don't know what I'm going to do now. I can't reach her number and can't ask for someone to help me. What the hell is this place? I bet I'm alone here and that thought stressed me.

What if my imagination is just trying to test me? I hope so. Because I can be brave if that's the only solution to wake me up.

I was probably not in my right mind to think that someone was looking at me behind my back.

THAT'S IT. I WON'T LET THIS A$SHOLE WATCHED ME TO GO INSANE HERE.

“You know, I’m not the type of person that have a lot of patience. Come out now and show up right here in front of me!” I scream.

Nothing happened and the surroundings remained quiet.

I gasp for air before I scream again. “I’m not playing hide and seek here since it wasn’t fun. I only have one question, who are you?!” I added.

Later on, I heard someone sarcastically laugh behind me. Fear enveloped into myself but I couldn't do anything but to pretend as If I didn't scared at all. 

“Look how adorable my woman right now.” He said.

I immediately turn to face him. “Who tf are you? Your woman? My ass!” I mentioned.

This man wear a black hoodie and cap that's why I barely see his face.

I freeze after I witnessed how he grin. “Who else owns you besides me?” 

Owns me? I'm not a fvcking things to be sold! 

“Fvck you.” I cursed.

He laughed again like crazy before speaking back. 

I feel like I'm afraid of his smiles and I don't know why. My chest felt heavy as if I was suddenly being stabbed over and over again.

I was feel broken because of him for no apparent reason.

“You turned out to be a bitch compared to before. And I prefer that.” He said.

He started to take his step towards me causing me to tremble with fear. “But I wouldn't be such a idiot to let you speak at me in that manner. Remember, I would not go easy on you just because your my woman. I'll punish you until you learn to OBEY and RESPECT me, darling.” 

What?

“You're crazy.” I can't believe what I'm dreaming about.

“I know darling.” 

I step forward and ran away. I can feel that I was being chased by this guy.

Yes I was now fvcking scared but what else can I do?

I ras as fast as I can and I don't care what places I'm heading to.

JUST GET ME OUT OF THIS HELL!

Unbeknownst to me, my feet had carried me to a dense and crowded place that I'm unfamiliar with.



I looked behind to see if the man was still chasing me. I breathed a sigh of relief after realizing he was gone.

I sat down next to a tree while catching my breath.

I opened my phone and I tried to message Elisa. But as expected, it's not sending. I tried to text someone else that I know but still failed. 

I noticed that the dates that set on my phone was 1672. Wait? Does that mean I am..

does that mean I'm in a world way back to millennium year's?! 

“What in the world is happening to me.” I said and still couldn't believe it.

“There you are.” My eye's widen in shock after I heard his voice again. I Immediately stood up and step back, away from this jerk.

“STAY. AWAY. FROM. ME.” I said as I warned him.

“Come on. Why'd you want to ran away from me when I was the one you can rely on?” He stepped toward.

I watched his every step.

One. “Why?” Two. “JUST WHY?!” and in an instant, he suddenly came before me without a word.

But how? 

I haven’t been able to process everything yet because of the mixed emotions I’m feeling right now. Right now he is close to me. The person who became my nightmare.

“I love you.. Elmira.” When he spout those words to me, he sounded like a desperate brat.

Apart from that, who's Elmira?

He gripped my shoulder tightly and I saw how his jaw twitched. 

“And I want you as much as I love you. I've been waiting for your return. So now that I found you, why you're being such a desperate wench who knows nothing but to fvcking cleared out? WHY?!” I jumped in fear when he yelled at me loudly.

H-he look playful a while ago but..now his..

I don't know but my tears are about to drip from my eyes. Is it because of his deadly glare?

“You don't know how much I want your presence. I missed everything about you. Your scent, your face, everything that I own about you. And now, I'm just going to take back what's mine. INCLUDING YOU. So be a good girl and obey me like a wise DAMN PET!” He added.

Why he's telling me that like I was just a thing? Agh!

That's it. I cried. I FREAKING CRIED EVEN IF I DON'T WANT TO. What the hell is wrong with me? Why I'm suddenly being emotional?!

“Why you're crying?” He asked and gently place his hand on my face.

Why am i crying? I also do not know.

“Stop now.” but I can't.

Right now, my tears are dripping unstoppable. The fvck.

“I said STOP NOW.” He said and I screech after he grabbed my jaw tightly.

I kicked him and immediately turned around to run.

“Goddamit!” I cursed when he pulled my hair.

“What did you think you're doing? Running away again like a rat? Just accept your fate darling.” He said as I struggle to get away from his hold.

“I will be your beast and you'll be my pray.” He added.

Wow. This guy is totally a psycho.

I heard his laugh. “I like your frightening expression. It never fails to satisfied me my gorgeous..  El—”

What? What'll he going to do now? I can feel his intense presence going near my neck. Is he going to bite me or what? Fvck this. 

I shut my eyes tightly and cleanched my fist. 

“ELVIRA!”

My eyes opened automatically.

Is this another dream? Or another—

“Thank goodness. You're awake now Elvira. I thought I'm going to die because of you. You worried me like crazy. Gosh.” I heard Elisa voice so I immediately get up and face her.

Idk but I hugged her soo tightly.

“Elvira?” She sounded confused and clueless. For now, I want to calm myself. That dream is like a nightmare and it look so real. 

I felt numb and my body are still trembling. 

I fear nothing but now.. 

“I'm scared Elisa.” I whispered. Enough for her to hear.

She chuckle. “What? You had a bad dream? Don't worry. I'm here now.” She stroke my back.

Thanks to her I calmed a bit. If it's not because of her, I probably still can't process and think straight.

Why would I had a strange dream like that? Who's that man and what was that mean?

How will I get rid of this? Is there something I need to know? If yes, then what is it?

Why everything in that dream seem familiar to me, especially that man and those trees.

“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking.”
