Nightmare 2

The next morning, Kimberly wake up and was full of dynamism. To her, this was a sign that the heaven was with her. she felt an extreme confidence about her revenge now that her power surfaced. Having this power of hers altered her plans but all the same, she felt extremely happy and was in a good mood.

She was now back to her normal self. She had learnt of what her power was and was still learning how to control it. She could change into anyone and anything she wants, just by thinking about them.

However....

"why do you think we chose this way to condemn you?"

"Ha... that's because you will never leave this place alive and reincarnated? Hahaha.... don't get your hopes high Helena because we both know that had never happened before and with this felony of yours, it's a Never dear friend."

"Ha!"

"Mhhh..!" Michelle woke up scarily with a gasp. Beads of sweat could be seen on her face and the sweat had already drenched her pillow and her night gown's collar.

She just had her usual nightmare from the incident that happened five years ago.The memories had been taunting her every night.

"Ughh..." Michelle groaned painfully as a sudden headache hit her. She lifted her upper body from her bed and stretched her hand to a small bedside table to take her painkiller.

But all of a sudden....

"Mich...."

She heard a whisper coming from the dark corner of her room. She halted her hand that was already closed to bedside table in the mid air. Acutely, she stared at that corner for some minutes but she saw nothing.

Waving the thought, she opened the drawer attached to the table. Taking the pills bottle to...

"Mich...."

"Ktstsst..."The bottle tumbled from her hand breaking to pieces.

Michelle couldn't help as she felt a shiver run down her spine and she felt cold all of a sudden. At this moment, she just couldn't ignore this anymore.

"Who's there?" She asked.

But only silence greeted her afterwards.

Frantically, she lit the bedside lantern while looking around the room.

"Anyone there...?" She asked again getting up from the bed and slowly moving to the dark corner of the room, where thought the voice was coming from. On getting there, she saw nothing and she heaved a sigh of relief. Moving back to bed, she turned only to be dragged back by a hand strangling her from behind.

"Ahhh..."

Michelle's eyes started closing as she struggled with the hand that was choking her from behind. Her eyes were bloodshot and veins could be seen on her forehead as she tried to breath. She kept struggling, she stretched her hand and tried reaching for the person's face.

With all her might she forcefully dragged the both of them to the wall in front of them, making her able to flip. Landing at the back of the intruder, thus pushing him. She staggered holding her dressing table for support.

"Who are you..?" Michell asked looking at the intruder, who already stood.

"Your nightmare..." The intruder's voice sounded and he charged towards Michelle.

He sped to her and before Michelle could attack, he took a small pocket knife from his inner pocket and slit her left side of the stomach with it.

"Aarrrggh..!"

Michelle groaned touching that side of her stomach that was slit, thus letting her guard down. A heavy kick landed on her stomach and she fell heavily, coughing out blood.

Slowly, the intruder moved to where she laid weakly and straddle her. Taking out a small dagger made with a jade stone.

"Metrea dutos gueame lumes edies....." the person chanted raising the dagger, only for Michelle to drag the cloak covering the person's face. And it turned out to be.....

"Hhhhh..."Michelle woke up with a gasp looking frightened. Beads of sweat could be seen on her face as she lit the bedside lantern. Every where was Dark as the night was still getting on. Her eyes went straight to that dark corner of her room and she couldn't help but shudder. She heaved a sigh of relief as she realized that it was actually a dream.

The dream was so thrilling, that she could still doubt if it was truly a dream.

She sneaked her left hand into her night gown, checking to see if there was any injury and she found none. It was indeed a dream. A thrilling one indeed.

However....

Her mind drifted to the dagger, and her face darkened.

She had never seen the dagger before, and in her dream the person wants to get rid of her with it.

"Who could that be....?" She asked rhetorically.

Immediately, she quickly got down from the bed. Putting on her flip flops she headed towards the sitting room.

"Karkrrah.."

She halted her steps, she heard something. Looking around she saw nothing. Waving the thought, she turned to...

"Karkrrah"

She totally stopped this time, snapping her head to where she thought the sound came from.

The balcony.

Taking slow strides to the balcony. Few foots from where she stood, she sighted something more like a shadow at the balcony.

Halting her steps, she didn't want to feel scared but she was. At this moment, she was afraid to make a sound even in her own home. Looking again towards the balcony, she saw nothing. It was as if there was nothing or no one there before.

But there was...

"Lumos..."Michelle said.

The lights went on immediately brightening the room and she began taking slow steps to the balcony. Three foots to the balcony she...

"Karkrrah.."

She almost stopped her steps but on realizing that it was the balcony window that was being vacillated by the wind. She let out a sigh of relief and went into the balcony to close the window.

Closing the window, she felt a movement behind. Turning back, she met face to face with the shadow. In a swift movement, the shadow stabbed her left side of the stomach with a dagger and disappeared.

"Aahhh..."

Michelle fell on her knees, coughing out blood.

"Arrgh..."She groaned as she pulled the dagger out from her stomach. Only to realize that it was the same dagger from her dream....

"Mum....!"

Kiara's voice snapped Michelle to reality. Looking around she realized that she was neither at the balcony nor anywhere near it. She was still on her way to the sitting room, where she thought she heard the window sound for the first time. Everywhere was still dark as the light was not on.

Michelle subconsciously sneaked her left hand into her night gown for the second time that night, checking if there were any wound but she found none.

Kiara on the other hand, had been awake face timing James. She had came downstairs to drink water from the kitchen since she felt thirsty all of a sudden. Only to see her mother, standing still at the walkway leading to the sitting room and staring towards the balcony. She had even finished the stuffs she went to do in the kitchen. Coming back to meet her mother in the same position.

However...

Kiara stood watching her mother's actions, still not understanding anything. She decided to break the silence.

"Mum... you okay?" Kiara asked.

"You've been standing here for long, staring at the balcony... is everything alright?" Kiara added as she walked to the balcony. Michelle made to stop her but she was already there and she couldn't help but follow her daughter.

Kiara went into the balcony, she looked around for anything strange or suspicious but she found nothing. Closing the balcony window, she went back inside.

"There's nothing there.... I've got to go back to sleep then..."Kiara said as she gave her mum a quick peck on the left cheek before moving back to her room.

Few minutes after Kiara left, Michelle stood still not moving from where she stood. She just couldn't understand what was happening that night. How she moved from one strange dream to another and another one altogether.

She just couldn't get what happened to her on the walkway of her sitting room.

"Was l sleeping walking...?"

"Was that a dream..?

"Nah... it isn't, I was awake..!"

"Then what should I call it then?!" She nearly snapped out loud as she was getting pissed. Someone is after her and the person won't stop till she was eliminated.

"Just who the fuck are you...?"

She muttered as she clenched her fist, digging her fingernails deeper into her palms.

Suddenly, her mind drifted off to...

"The dagger...." She thought out loud.

She was going to find it no matter what!

No matter what it takes..! She must..!!

However....

At that moment, inside a cave somewhere in the deep forest of North moon pack known as Claws of Blood. A woman was chained inside the cave. She looked unkempt as her white hair scattered all over, partially covering her face. The robe she was putting on was ripped from all sides barely covering her nudity.

All of a sudden, she opened her eyes. Her eyes were as white as snow including her orbs. Anyone who'd look at her would think she was blind but she was not.

"Ahahahahaaa...." She laughed menacingly and immediately a greenish-yellow light glowed in her eyes.

"At last...." She said with a deep horrifying smirk. Her eyes burning with a flame of an unknown aversion.
