Hello again my lovelies.....

Xavier

The drive from the airport was unbearable. The atmosphere was thick and heavy with an awkward silence. Robert complained about the heat, and Sam tried to ask me what was wrong in a concerned tone, but I could not bear to reveal the internal turmoil and rage bubbling within me. 

I struggled to maintain my composure, desperately trying to focus on work.

The farmhouse was not ideal for my taste, but I thought I could make it work for two weeks. An unknown force seemed to be drawing me in, tugging at something deep inside me in an eerie yet strangely calming way.

As we moved closer to the building, a hollowness settled in my chest and I knew I needed something that I hadn't been able to identify yet. The white house stood grandly behind a sprawling garden, and Robert couldn't help but exclaim his approval. The help informed us that Rashid will be here tomorrow at 9 AM. Sam suggested dinner, but I felt too out of sorts to stay.

I made my way up the stairs to find my bedroom. As I left them alone, I could hear Robert whispering something about the heat getting to me. Maybe he was right--I felt like I was on the brink of boiling over.

In my bedroom, I finally let my guard down and the rage that had been lurking inside me erupted like a volcano. I felt like I was being swallowed up by a deep, dark abyss, powerless to escape its depths. I wanted to scream out my frustrations, but all I could do was sit there, grappling with my own inner demons, as I slowly sank further and further into my own darkness.It felt like I was slowly losing a part of myself and I had to find a way to stay afloat.

I found myself desperately wanting air, wandering without purpose and yet feeling a strange sense of direction. Feeling my heart race as awareness of coming closer to something dawned. Then suddenly, a warm breeze brushed past me, bringing with it a distinct smell.

The scent engulfed me and for the first time in days I felt a sense of relief. I greedily filled my lungs with the newfound comfort, desperate to feel any reprieve from the malicious force that had taken control of me. The smell brought a wave of peace that seemed to relax me and fill me with energy, allowing me to finally break free from the darkness.

******A nightmare tore me from my sleep and held me in its firm grip. I saw her again; the woman who has haunted me for months. I shot up in bed, a cold sweat dripping down my forehead, my breathing sharp and labored. My tongue was itching and a chill ran through my room as if someone had opened a window.

Every time I shut my eyes, the same woman from my dreams materialized in front of me and her presence filled the room with a haunting energy. I felt like I was choking on her aura until I plummeted out of bed and gasped for air.

I glanced towards the corner mirror and stepped away in fear; it wasn't me staring back at me. It was someone else, something else, with eyes that glowed with malice. The reflection kept changing until it was gone entirely and the mirror shattered, sending blades of glass everywhere.

I recoiled in terror, pressing my back firmly against the wall, feeling the burning sensation clawing up my throat. Desperately, I grabbed for the glass of water on my nightstand, chugging it down in one swig but never feeling quite satisfied. The heat continued to build until it felt like hot lava searing through my veins.

I felt like I was slowly slipping away, as if I was being consumed by an unknown force. I couldn't take it anymore. I was desperate for relief - desperate enough to beg for any force,any god, to hear my pleas. Nothing answered me. Nothing could save me from this living hell.I gulped down gulps and gulps of water,yet no respite was to be found in that either.
