The water filled her mouth, ears, and nostrils, as it joined hands with gravity to beat her down. There was no way she could let out a scream. She was busy gurgling water as she fell down the terrific height, hoping that she would not be smashed to death upon a rock. The fall was agony, and all of her fought to find stable ground, but it was impossible. Finally, she crashed into the water, diving headlong into it. More water filled her nostrils, and forced its way into her throat. The water was icy and it felt like she had fallen under frozen winter waters. Theresa went further downwards into the dark abyss of the water, feeling panic come into being, threatening to devour her, and she fought recklessly to swim upwards, but the cold made it hard for her fingers to find movement easily. It forced her to give up, as the surface seemed to get farther, the higher she swam. She fought as hard as she could, but it seemed impossible. Not until she noticed Adrian cutting through the ice-
Theresa screamed, sitting up straight, and was ready to bounce off the bed if it wasn't for Adrian who held her. Blinking hard, she could no longer see any hands or a horrible face. “It was just a dream.” He said, but she shook her head, unwilling to believe it was nothing but a dream. It had been so real.“No, it wasn't just a dream. There was an odd creature staring down at me with a wicked smile.” Theresa said, wanting to leave the bed, but Adrian held her back.“And did the weird creature suddenly disappear?” He asked, and it was then she finally calmed down.Maybe it had truly been a dream. One of those hauntingly real dreams that she hated to have.“You're just scared because you're in a strange place, and a lot of strange things have happened. That's probably it.” Adrian said, and her breathing slowed down.“Damn. It was so real.” She said, still looking around. “Do you want to stay up till morning comes?” He asked, and she nodded immediately. “Yes, please.” Theresa replied,
They were all bent, old hags, walking around, chattering to themselves, as they went about their chores.Adrian and Theresa looked back, and they were beautiful maids again, smiling and laughing.But in the mirror…Then they both stepped back together. “Don't make a noise.” Adrian said to Theresa, and she nodded slowly. Hags were cunning and deceitful creatures. Everyone knew that. Nothing good could come out of them. They were jealous, conniving and dirty creatures always seeking to bring others down. Apparently, they had given themselves glamour.They walked away from the mirror, and tried to find their way to the entrance door, walking casually, and pretending they weren't suspecting anything. Some of the maids greeted them, and they greeted them with smiles. Unfortunately, upon getting to the large double doors that would lead to the outside, they saw that they were barred and chained thoroughly. It was evidence that something was terribly wrong. Adrian took the map from Ther
Theresa let out a cry as the arrow pierced into her arm. Her blood spilled onto the sand in generous amounts, and in fear, Adrian sank to the ground.“Theresa!” Adrian shouted, looking at her bloody fingers that tried to stop her bleeding. Then he looked around, and finally looked at the thick scroll in his hand, before using it to apply pressure on Theresa’s wound. “Ah!” She screamed, as the scroll burned. Then, Adrian tipped the bottle of the invisibility potion into her mouth, and did the same.“I forgot about this. If I had, this wouldn't happen to you.” He said, looking at the hags, who screamed around, shooting the arrows recklessly, hoping to hit them by accident. “Ah, it burns!” She exclaimed, pushing the map away from herself.“Theresa.” Adrian called softly, and they saw that the map was beginning to fill up with descriptions written in her blood. “Sacrifice. It meant blood.” Theresa whispered. They began to see the map of the whole place. Far now dangerous paths lay bef
On getting home, Adrian got access to his phone, and the first person he contacted, was Lucas.“Hey, man. You really got me concerned, with this business trip you went on. I mean, what business trip won’t allow you to make use of your phone, for days?” Lucas complained.“I know I must have gotten you worried, but I’m fine, now. You can come over. I’ll be waiting here.” He said to Lucas, and hung up.After disconnecting the call, he immediately went to the bathroom to have a nice shower, which would scrub off the whole dirt, which had accumulated on his body. The warm water that sprouted out of the shower, gave him this sweet, intensifying feeling which he had missed, for so long.“So good to be back home.” He uttered, with a smile on his face, as he stepped out of the bathroom, with a towel, wrapped around his waist.Just then, a notification from the system, popped up.“YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED YOUR TASK, AND YOUR ACCOUNT HAS THEREBY BEEN CREDITED.”Adrian was glad that he act
Both Sophie and Lucas had left Adrian’s home, after they were done conversing on the important things, so, Adrian headed to Steve Wilson’s home.On getting to the gates, he was allowed in, as he was already known to be someone who their boss always wanted to see, for reasons which they didn’t know about. Adrian chuckled as he walked in, because he was flattered that they allowed him in, without asking any question, and all.He was ushered into the living room, where he sat, and waited for Steve Wilson. While he was still waiting for Steve Wilson, he scanned around the house, with his eyes, without moving a limb. Steve Wilson hadn’t changed the interior designs, yet.“Tch! Did he do that to torture me?” Adrian uttered, under his breath.Although, he wasn’t moved by any of what Steve Wilson would do, to make him feel he had been conquered, and that Steve Wilson would always be bigger than him. “Well, well, well. Look who we have here. I never expected I would be getting a visit from yo
“She…She…”Before Theresa could complete her words, Adrian was beginning to feel dizzy for no reason. The system in his head, seemed to be sparking, and then suddenly fell to the ground.~DREAM STATE~The next time Adrian opened his eyes, he met himself on a strange field. It was very large, and also a field good enough for any kind of sports.And then he saw people gathered around him, like they were celebrating him. Although, they didn’t close up on him. They were just a crowd around.But it seemed like there was a purpose he had, here. He recognized everyone here, although, it didn’t seem like that in reality.Suddenly, he felt a strange, yet, familiar power. It felt dark, because whoever it was, the person had dark intentions, and was definitely around us.He looked around cautiously until he caught sight of Anna and a woman, walking towards them. Silence fell, and he moved forward, with his brows raised.He didn’t need anyone to tell him what was going on. Anna had definitely par
~back to reality~She wondered what the dream meant, but she hoped that she would understand, because from when she was little, there was always something tangible about her dreams. Also, she didn’t know why there was this voice, calling out Adrian’s name, every single time she remembered the dream.“If mother was here, she would have interpreted these dreams into something nice.” She said, under her breath, then got down from the bed, to the living room.She headed to the kitchen, and gulped down a glass of water which made her feel relieved.“Now, it’s time to sleep.” She said, feeling relaxed.But first, she was going to take a shower, so she would feel sleepy, immediately.Sophie walked back to her room, and had a shower. After the shower, she relaxed on the bed. But for some reason, she had this strange feeling like something wasn’t right, but she decided to shrug it off. She wouldn’t allow some nightmare haunt her like she was still in kindergarten.Sophie closed her eyes, ready
