~12~Nightmares¡

Anita's POV

I'm walking through a pitch black corridor, take slow and steady steps and waving my arms around to make sure I don't bump into anything but that doesn't go so well

I bump into a wall and as a reflex action, my hand rushes to rub my forehead as I let out a small cry of pain

And I'm walking and walking and it just never ends

What's up with the lights around here anyway? And why does it feel like this corridor isn't going to end? Wait, where the hell am I?

Before I could question any further, I'm pushed against the wall by someone

I try yelling as loud as I can, using all the strength I can gather but even I can't hear myself

I try and make out the face of the mysterious person but I can't see anything

I feel the person move a bit closer then his lips brush past my ear and that sends a shiver down my spine

"Why didn't you save me?" He whispers into my ear and pulls back a bit

Then a dim light appears from nowhere and I can finally see him

He has blood all over his lower lip, it's dripping from his mouth and it goes all the way down his chin to his neck

As absolute fear grips me, I lower my eyes to his chest only to see a bullet stuck in his chest

My eyes widen when I realize who is standing before me...the man Alex had shot

"I..I..I'm sorry" I try apologizing, nearly in tears as my heart beats faster than I thought was possible

"It's too late for all that now" he smiles bitterly, displaying his blood coated teeth

And then he's raising something shiny, my heart beat increases again when I see that it's a pocket knife

"Ar..Are you going to kill me?" I let out shakily in fear

That bitter smile appears on his face again and I shut my eyes

I squeeze my eyes shut, the way I did everytime mom hurt me but this time with so much more fear as I await death

My eyes fly open and I jump to a sitting position. I'm out of breath and covered in sweat. I look around the room I'm in.

It's my room at Alex's house. I let out a sigh of relief as I try to relax.

It was just another nightmare. What should I do about all these different nightmares I keep having?

Talk to Alex about them Lucious says like it's the most obvious thing in the world and I shut her out because I can't deal with her right now.

I climb out of bed and through the door

Where am I going? I don't know, I think I just need some air

Surprisingly, I find the stairs rather quickly.

I go down the stairs and take the first turning I find and I end up in the sitting room I met the guys...I think there's another sitting room at the other side though

I'm about to turn around when I spot a turning at the far end, I go there and it's another passage

Why is this house so damn big?

I walk through the passage until I see a glass door

Through the glass door and I'm met with the most beautiful outdoor lounge I've ever seen...Even in movies

I take a seat on a chaise lounger, I breathe in the fresh air and in a few moments I can already feel myself relax

I stay in that position for some time...Until my heart beat was normal again

When I leave the lounge, I go through back the same way I came because I wouldn't want to find myself in a totally different part of this house...One doesn't know what to expect in a house this big

When I get back to the sitting room, I try to find my way to the kitchen...Some warm milk should help me sleep better and hopefully avoid any more nightmare

Walking around for minutes now, I let out a frustrated groan

There should be a fucking map for this house

A few more minutes and I give up on finding the kitchen and start another journey of finding the stairs

Ugh, this is so annoying

I finally find the stairs and I have to pause a bit cos I'm a little out of breath after all that walking around

I climb up the stairs and just as I reach the top of the stairs I hear a deep, frightened scream from the wing opposite the one that leads to my room

It sounded like Alex.

I don't know what happened to me next but in a blink I'm running in the direction of the scream

'Stop!!' My brain is screaming but my legs just won't stop and the fear in my heart of what might be happening to Alex has me running even faster

I finally find myself standing in front of a brown door

And now I don't know whether I want to go in there

Another scream fills my ears and I don't even think it through before my fingers wrap around the knob and I push my way in

In a dim lighted room I spot Alex in nothing but his boxer shorts laying still asleep on his bed and if this situation was different this would have been so hot

He looks like he's having a nightmare. He's covered in sweat. Moving around uncomfortably with screams and groans hear and there.

Again without thinking, I rush to his side and wrap my arms around him

"Alex" I call, gently trying to wake him up "Alex?"

"Alex, wake up"

My whole body stiffens when his hands suddenly wrap around my waist

"A..Alex?"

"Don't leave me" he cooes with his eyes still closed

"Alex" I continue trying to get him to wake up

"Stay with me, please" he pleads and all it takes is one look at his sleeping, peaceful, beautiful face to have me nodding

"I will" I nod and move to get comfortable

I don't know what I'm doing or why I'm doing it but I know I'll regret it tomorrow

But right now, I don't even care.
