Lucid Dream

8- Bloody Altar

Being in hell must be easier than working for this ass. For the last week my life was so bad that I forgot my name when an employee asked for it. Hours of research, supporting them by cases, Sources, reading the whole criminal code and reading the number of cases filed against this corporation made me mental. I am sleep deprived and living solely on coffee. Thank god that today is the report and I can sleep the whole Sunday. Nothing but sleep. So basically the special team of 4 will solely focus on the new project which is dealing with arm fire between this company and several countries including Italy, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia and USA.

Our main job is to overlook it and monitor all the International and criminal code of the process as it can be tricky to use. The Prosecution which sued this corporation 3 years ago was stating that they supplied more firearms then in contract and later it was used for terrorist organizations and Mafia. The corporation proved their sales logistics and evidence and won the case.

I prepared the draft memorial for the issues given to me satisfied with my work. Andrew the team leader and the main defense attorney came towards me and gave me 3 more drafted memorial and ordered

"Go and brief him about our work"

My eyes went wide in horror. I gasped "Me. I mean he will be more glad if the team leader does that."

"Honey, I have a hearing in an hour. And Amita is joining me there. Jonas can accompany you but he needs to sort out some legal procedures and the only idle person without license over here is you." He sarcastically exclaimed with a smirk on his face. I know they wonder wtf I am doing this team and the same I have been thinking mate.

"Well I just finished up my memorial. And I will give mine next year. I just graduated a month ago for Christ sake"

"Everyone finished their draft 2 days ago. You need to learn fast if you wanna survive here. Your meeting is in 3 hours and I believe you can at least go through them and give him a brief." He left.

I went to the break room, made myself coffee adding 3 shots of espresso and left for my desk. I studied the laws and cases more quickly as I had some idea about the issue they were working on. I finished it in 2 hour and thought of taking a nap in the meeting room for a 30 minutes power nap as I have some time in hand. And so I put my head down on the table and wandered past.

"Do you Athena Julian take Alexandro Achilles to be your husband?" someone stated. Probably a priest. Where am I? Oh I am dreaming again. For the past whole week all I saw was a massacre while walking down the aisle. Now I am at the altar. I look around and yes there are thousands of bodies lying dead all around.

"I do." A sharp voice snapped me to the present and I tried to see who just got married to me. The whole altar is dark except for a few candles. I can see him wearing a black coat or something. He is dressed like he is at a funeral , not for his wedding.

"Do you Athena Julian take Alexandro Achilles to be your husband?"

First of all my name is wrong. Though i wanted them to know that but all that came out from my mouth was "I do"

I was beyond horrified that I just got married but relieved he didn't know my face and my real name and most of all it's a dream. Suddenly the background changed and suddenly I was in the woods. My wedding dress turned bloody red and all I knew was to run. Suddenly something hit me and I fell. I saw a few people hunting for me and I stood and ran the other way. I can see someone standing in the treeline. For some reason I don't feel afraid.
