Just a nightmare

Chapter 1

I told myself that I'm ready. But was i really ready to overcome him?

Putting all the thoughts aside i walked to the kitchen whilst rubbing my eyes and grabbed the kettle carefully whilst aiming to lift up my cup. My hands shook. Everything stopped and all i can feel was a slight touch on my shoulder. I looked down on  my counter, slowly placing my hand on a nearby knife. My heart skipped a beat.. as i turned around at a fast paced speed threatening what ever was there.

"hey hey! calm down. its only me" Arya said whilst laughing anxiously.

Arya was my best friend since 2nd grade. We were never apart so we decided to move in together, worst decision of my life. Not that i don't like her don't get me wrong! Shes just a bit much sometimes. even for me.

"nightmares?" she said whilst slowly pushing herself next to me grabbing her own cup.

I nod without saying anything on the side.

"Don't worry about it Amias. Nightmares get the best of us but we can always overcome them, there not real after all."

we both sit down and i curl up into a ball thinking of how to reply.

"mine feels real. in fact they feel so real sometimes i imagine him being there Arya!.. In front of me..just..staring at me. how can it be just a nightmare?"

she signs and stands up.

"Amias. Your acting delusional. There is no way that can be real I'm telling you! It's just your imagination."

she goes to leave when she stops and looks at the calendar then back at me.

"your appointment is at 3:30. don't forget."

Arya stops then walks away whispering,

"I honestly think its the only thing keeping you sane at this point..."

i take in a big breath and leave the room to go to the bathroom, slowly placing my cup of coffee on the counter.

walking to a bathroom should be easy right? well not for a person with sleep paralysis.. Aryas opinion on sleep paralysis doesn't help either. Not that shes not trying to help. Arya just doesn't.. understand it. She just thinks its all a vision..which practically it is.But a lot worse.

shaking my head to forget all these thoughts was my only option for now as my legs started trembling walking to the bathroom.. i wasn't sure i was going to make it but thankfully i managed to grab on too a wall as i entered the bathroom. I placed all my weight on the bathroom sink as i took a look at myself in the mirror.

I remember last nights vision and my eyes widened as i started imaging it all over again.I fell too the floor. As i started breathing loudly, i covered my face in the delicate touch of my hands and closed my eyes.

"AMIAS...? AMIAS!" shouted Arya as she kneeled down to get to me.

I sat there looking at her still shaking.

"Amias its been 1 hour. I was so worried when i saw you weren't waking up!" "are you alright ..?"

"I'm fine." i say knowing i couldn't speak to her about what just happened.

1 hour..

But that felt like 2 minutes...?

"Whats the time?" i say looking at arya in discomfort.

" its currently 2:50. You might want to start getting dressed.." she explained as her face expression started to change. Aryas face turned all gloomy and dark. She knew i just had a panick attack and was now getting more worried.

"come on.." she said gently as she got up and reached out her hand.

I grabbed it slowly pulling my body up then smiled.

"thank you." i whispered under my breath.

Arya gave me a reassured nod and helped me up the stairs to my bedroom.

But i couldn't do it.. Not when i started seeing him again this time right in front of me..his eyes were bigger now and were staring into my soul like he owned me. He was a tall figure..long hands..thin legs..you could actually start to see his bones moving through his skin..he had long black hair that looked almost like pieces of string attached to his skull , like a doll.He was crouching and pointing with his long bony fingers behind me. i stood there shaking not knowing what to do.. i couldn't move.. until i looked at his mouth and slowly heard him say..

"don't be afraid..come closer.."

without hesitation my body moved towards him until it was now laying in his hands. My hair was slowly getting stroked by his rough hands whilst having his breath on my neck..muttering..slowly.

"its ok my child.Everything will come to a end." he whispered on repeat.

those were the last words i heard before he turned me around and made me look into his eyes causing me to stumble to the ground and cry in despair.

its ok my child.Everything will come to a end.
