– The Nightmare Has Just Begun –
The sky is going to explode at any moment – blood will be everywhere. Everybody will be wounded. Everybody will die. I probably will die as well. I probably will see nothing. Actually, I’m already dying…
I sat quietly in the corner of the garden, swinging on the swing while gazing up into the sky. The breeze brushed against my skin ever so slightly. It made me close my eyes and inhale deeply. The scent of the lilies in the garden enveloped around my skin – goosebumps appeared.
Somehow, I could feel my thoughts running through my head – as if they were attempting to search for something. To be honest, I never felt quite so insecure about my feelings. Every day, I felt like my chest was empty, my heart torn to pieces. Loneliness has always been a part of me. Deep inside me, somehow, I can’t recognize what “love” is. It was just an unnecessary emotion. Something unneeded. Simply a burden for life. My heart clearly thumps – but it does not receive any strong emotions from the outside. It felt like a thick, indestructible wall rose up to engulf my soul. “Love” was clearly not a part of me, and it never will.
I’ve always been longing for freedom.
Freedom from the pain, anxiety, and agony with every heartbeat. Freedom from the joyful hate and painful love. Freedom from everything.
But will it really matter even if I try to long for it?
“Adelle, what on earth are you doing in this cold day?” A voice suddenly interrupted my thoughts. I turned my head towards the unfamiliar voice which called my name.
“Hmm?” I responded.
“Adelle, don’t answer me monotonously. Smile a bit, dear.” The voice become nigh. Somehow, a silhouette appeared in the distance – covering my vision. I shook my head to get rid of it.
“Go away…” My voice finally regained a little power. I swayed my hand around the silhouette.
“Please don’t say that, love. Let me come closer to you,” the unfamiliar voice murmured softly reaching a hand towards me – as if it was asking me to take the hand. I shook my head. Who’s talking to me? Without warning, my heart thumped faster than ever. Cold sweat gushed down through my body; at the same time the cutting breeze pierced right through my chest – tearing my heart apart slowly and steady. I looked up to the silhouette. It seemed to be grinning widely. Too widely perhaps…
My hands gripped the chains of the swing tightly. Nervousness filled in.
“Don’t be scared. I just want to take your hand, that’s all.” The voice became more feminine as the silhouette walked closer… and closer. I stopped swinging and got off immediately. I turned my head around – but it was such a bad mistake.
“Where… do… you… want… to go… Adelle…?” She smiled wider. Slowly, her eyes appeared. Not normal eyes – but thin, cat-like eyes. Her grin didn’t look normal at all. She had the smile of a killer.
I couldn’t move at that moment.
The mysterious woman seemed to reach her other hand towards me – as if she was gesturing to give an embrace. The shadows of the swaying trees danced on her peculiar face. A cold shiver ran through my body. The cold’s not from the outside, but the inside. Then, as soon as the shadows disappeared, dark and deep blue eyes appeared on her face. Somehow, her features were making me shiver even more. I looked up into her mesmerizing eyes. She turned closer to me, covering most of the sunshine on my face. I wanted to run away as fast as I could. I wanted to hit her on the head as fast as I could. But her hypnotizing eyes and smile captured my gaze as I try to take my action. As silence crept from nowhere, I sat still on the swing – my mind became entangled.
More coming soon. ;)
