Nightmare to Reality

Louella P.O.V

After me and my father talked I went to my room to sleep and change intol my sleeping clothes. I tuck my self into bed I look at the ceiling and began to think about all the fun things that me and my family did today and also what my father told me awhile ago, I'm not sure if I'm able to get stronger and protect those people who are dear to me, I begin to doubt my self as sleep took over me.

--

Me and my family were having fun in mommy and father’s secret place we were laughing and playing and doing other fun things, then suddenly every thing went pitch black. I saw a light at the distance at the very end of the room so I walked towards it, then I was shocked on what I saw it was my dad holding my mom who is covered in blood and it stained her white sleeping gown my father was crying while holding her against his chest he looked at me with his teary eyes and some of mom's blood covered his face "Louella run! RUN!" I was frozen in my place I could not move then I saw a dark figure began to appear behind my parents " RUN LOUELLA! " then I saw the man holding my little sister in her neck then sliced it with a knife ''NOOOOO!".

--

I jolted up as sweat and tears covered my face I was slightly shaking I was breathing heavily. The dream or should I say the nightmare it felt so real I tried to go to sleep again but I couldn't so I decided to go outside my room and went to my sister's bedroom I opened her door " Lilka are you still awake?".

she slightly shifted then opened her eyes " Big-sis is that you, what are you doing here" I went inside her room and closed the door, I climbed in her bed

"Can I sleep here with you? I couldn't sleep in my room" I look at her and she smiled

"Sure you can, come here" she pated the space beside her and I scooch in with her "Goodnight big-sis"

''Good night Lilka".

Author's P.O.V

It was already midnight, most of the villagers are asleep but , but in the Skender’s mansion everyone is asleep except for some guard guarding the place, everything is silent and only the sound of crickets can be heard outside, but there is also one person who is still awake.

Louella couldn't sleep due to the nightmare that she had. So she decided to rise up from her sister's bed without waking her up and went to the balcony attached to he sister's room it shows the view of the forest. She release a sigh as she looked at the view, then suddenly she saw some thing or someone it was like a dark figure it felt like it it was staring at her it also look familiar like she had seen it somewhere but suddenly it disappeared she think that it was strange but decided to shrug it off.

She stayed there for a few minute when she heard little footsteps coming to her she turned her head around and noticed it's her little sister .

" hey there big-sis why are you awake?" Lilka said while rubbing her eyes while holding her teddy bear in her arms " I can't sleep so I decide to have some fresh air " she told her sister while rubbing her little sister's hair " is it because of the nightmare that you had?".

"No it's nothing..... c'mon let's go back to sleep" they went inside Lilka's room and went to the bed but before they can lay down they heard screaming coming from outside.

"W-what was that" Lilka said with a shaky voice "It came from outside" Louella said, she felt her heart is beating fast as beads of sweat appeared on her forehead " Lilka stay in this room ok big-sister is just gonna check on something ok".

"No big-sis pleas don't leave me i'm scared " Lilka said while holding her big sister's arm, Louella looked bak at her sister and said to her " Don't worry everything's going to be fine " then she went out of the room.

Louella P.O.V

I ran towards my parents bedroom 'pleas be safe' . As I turned in a corner I suppressed a scream there I saw the lifeless body of our guards on the floor covered in their own pool of blood , their throats have been cut open and other things that I can’t describe, I covered my mouth as I was about to puke but then I heard a scream towards my parents room. 'No mommy, father pleas be safe' I ran to the direction of their chamber ,the dead guards left my mind all i cared about are my parents.

I arrive at the door , "Noooo!" .

I heard my father screamed in agony. The door is slightly open I went closer and looked inside There I see the masked man, extracting a sword from my mother's chest my father was near the door covered in sweat his eyes shown dread, and anger . My mother fell on the floor with a thud as pool of blood slowly started to form around her my father went to her and holding her tightly in his arms he then put his face on her chest sobbing uncontrollably, I just stand there to scared to move a muscle, tears started to trail down on my face it was just like my dream. My father looked up into the man, he stood up ad and tried to attack the man. He starting to punch, and kick the man but it was useless since the man kept of deflecting all of his attacks with ease. It was weird my father is a very powerful man he seems week

‘ No this can’t be right’

"tch this is getting boring" ,

then the man swiftly raised his sword slashing my father on the chest he fell on the ground desperately crawling towards his wife

"C-cornelia my beloved cornelia" he reached his hands to her but the man stepped on his back " Aughhh! " my father groans in pain .

"Hahahah the great lord Zander Skender one of the most powerful mages in the whole kingdom is being stepped down by his enemy, you cant even protect your own wife what a pity, now.... its time for you to say goodbye " the man raised his sword then stabbed my father on the head

" Now it's time for you little one "

The man turned and faced the door then looked at me with blood red glowing eyes.

I just stood there not moving an inch as Tears started to trail down my face I stared in horror as the man slowly walked towards the door, towards me like a predator stalking It's prey. I just stand there shaking in fear then it struck me ' Lilka..We need to get out of here '. I ran towards my sister's room hoping that she's fine .

" You can run but you cant hind from me my little prey, Im still going to catch you, then slowly kill you!". He said as he laughed maniacally.

I didn't take heed of his words I'm to focused on getting to my sister and getting her out of here. When I arrived at her door I hastily opened it "lilka lilka where are you" then I heard something inside the wooden closet, I opened the closet I found her crying while clutching her white teddy bear .

"Big sister I heard screams coming from the hallway I-i was so s-scared so I hid here" she said while crying I crouched down into her position then hugged her tightly "Don't worry big sister is here to protect you so you don't have to be scared " then gave her a reassuring smile 'what the hell that I am saying I am totally terrified'.

We hurriedly went out of the room and ran as fast as we can to escape, good thing there weren't any dead bodies laying in the hallway for us sisters could see.We went down the staircase then a man wearing the same thing the other man who killed our parents blocking our exit he is holding two twin daggers covered in blood I felt Lilka behind me shaking " W-who are you? " I have to be strong for my sister.

"My my look what we have here two of Zanders precious daughters" the man said.

"I said who are you and what do you want from us!" I said while glaring daggers at him, then suddenly a shadow appeared beside the man it was the on who killed my parents.

"Why hello there my little prey how was the show with your parents, did you enjoy it?" He tilted his head I didn't answer him .

"Wow Akuma so you make this girl watch while you slaughtered her parents your sick" that one man saide while laughing patting akuma's shoulder .

"Well at least I'm not sick as you Luka, skinning your victim and then peeling their faces off while their still alive, your way more sicker ".

‘ Are they even serious right now? ‘

"Well I only take their faces if they were beautiful oh and this place has a lot of fine young ladies as maids so I took the most beautiful faces of them all their screams were delicious"

he said as he reached inside his black cloak pulling out some thing 'No it can't be', Lilka released a terrified scream The blood drained from my face as I saw one of our maids faces it was flora, tears starting to flow from my eyes as I stood there.

"Big sister I'm scared" Lilka cried behind me. I looked at her from behind and forced a smile.

"Don't worry big sister is here to protect you" then I heard one of them laughing.

"Protect her? she even beat you on a simple spar how can you protect her?"Luka grinned.

"Well we didn't just came here for chitchat we came here for your parents and....you" he pointed towards my direction but he wasn't looking at me he was looking at my sister.

"No your not taking her" I shouted at them I have to protect her 'She is all that I have left '.

"Well that's cute" the one named luka said then as fast as light he was in front of he raised his arm and smacked me my body hit the wall so hard, I felt my some of ribs cracked I fell faced flat on the floor i saw blood dripping from my head .

"No let go of me pleas sister! Sister help!" I saw my little sister struggling from their hold .

'No pleas help somebody anyone help us' then slowly I am loosing consciousness.

"Big sister!" That was the last thing that I heard before everything went black.

'louella do you want to save your sister right' a dark voice said almost demon like.

' Yes i will do anything pleas just help me save my sister ' I pleaded to the voice.

'Then submit into the darkness..submit into..me let me be in control...let me help you' and I let the voice take over.

Then when I woke up all I saw was.

RED.
