Darkness, the utter darkness. That's the only thing I can see. My body is numb, my mind is numb, everything is silent around me. First time in my life I am scared of silence. I am scared out of my wits.. is this how life after death is? So empty and dark?I was praying to God to let me feel something or just give me some light so I can breath but no there wasn't anything. I felt myself staring into emptiness and it felt like months have passed with me being stuck in this condition and I am feeling suffocated now. I am going in and out of consciousness, I am at that point where I don't know if I am awake or not.
Just them after days of being stuck in that condition, I saw a small light at a distance. I walk towards it but it was walking away from me. I kept walking towards the light nor wanting to lose it. I don't want to face that darkness again.
I kept running and running until I was so close to light that I could even touch it. I pushed my hand put towards the light slowly. As my hand came in contact with the light I was sucked in and felt like my body is in air and I am being fell down from height. I shrieked in fear flailing my arms out to save myself from the fall but nothing happen. I was in the air falling down until I felt the impact of something hard with my body.
It took few moments for me to gain my focus and when I looked around my surrounding I gasped. The same place, the same trees around me. I looked up at the sky and the next moment I heard a voice. A familiar voice but I couldn't place the face to that voice.
I start walking through the thick forest, my feet were bare when I looked down. The ground was hard beneath them, occasionally I would feel a sting in my feet from the thorns or dried twigs but my mind was elsewhere. It was on the voice that was calling me it was a very soothing voice which was a whisper and it was calling my name.
'Celeste' it called again.
'Come here Celeste! We need you. I ... need you' it said again.
I tread fastly as I felt the voice was fading away until I couldn't hear it anymore. Now there was no one to guide me, only the sound of that voice kept me going. I gasped when I realized whom that voice belong to.
"Atticus" I breathed out, it was him and when I looked around carefully at my surrounding I realized where I am, the same dream I had since ages.
The trees were so huge, their leaves were dry and colorless. There was orange tinge to them but rectangular shapes leaves. As I was looking around me trying to understand what's happening to me and why I am reliving that same dream but this time if felt so real. I could feel the fresh air on my skin, the sound of birds. All the little details messing with my mind.
But then I heard Atticus again and this time I could feel his emotions too. He was sad, his voice was shaking as he called my name as if he is crying.
I start running and chanted lightly.
'I am coming' I chanted again and again wishing that he could listen to me, I don't want him to me sad.
'Celeste please come.... please" the voice nearly begged me.
'Celeste, don't go' he pleaded.
"I am coming, i am not going anywhere" I reassured but seems like he couldn't hear me. It was him all this time, I had heard him even before I have met him. These dream I was having were way before we met.
"Don't go" it said again. I feel like I am running around the circle, after every few moments when I feel like I am closed to the voice it fades away in to distance until it completely stops.
"No no please say something, please call me again. Please" I begged but there was silence around me, a painful silence. A feeling of deja vu hit me hard and I stopped in my tracks.
I sat on the ground and put my head on my knees as I wept like a child. I felt so alone and scared at that moment. But then I heard a twig snapped behind me, I raise my head instantly and as I was about to turn I was met with a bright light, it was so bright that for a moment I couldn't open my eyes and when I opened them back ...I gasped in shock.
Because the place where my dreams would always end and I was wishing it would happen again but it didn't stop. I didn't wake up instead I was faced with grandma. She was looking at me with sadness and sighed sadly.
"My child!" She cooed and then walked towards me. I tried to step away from her surprised to see her but then she touched my shoulders and helped me get up. I stood up and gazed at her. She smiled softly and touched my cheek.
"You shouldn't be here!" She said and then I remembered how once I saw her in that dream too once.
"When will this dream ends?" I asked out loudly. She sighed sadly.
"I am sorry, sweetie but its not a dream. Its all real" she said and I took a step away from her.
"What is this place?" I asked her.
"It's the world of Dead" she told me and I inhaled sharply.
"So??... am I..." I stuttered
"Am I dead?" I asked her in fear. She closed her eyes for a moment and I breathed out in dismay.
