Once I see you again

Daydreaming

Her words echo and ring through my ears. I take a few steps towards her before pausing with a look of confusion mixed with fear plastered on my face,"N-no... it can't be ...!" My voice raises and cracks slightly, she looks down at me and her smile widens. She takes a few steps closer to me and places a hand on my shoulder, "I missed you Vanity... why so hostile...? Don't you miss me?" Her voice is laced with sarcasm as she speaks, she places her hands on my shoulder and pulls me into a hug. Her arm wrapped around me I was taken aback by this but I couldn't help but hold her as well, I wrapped my arms around her tightly and I felt myself try to hold back in a sob as I tried to say something but I couldn't, I felt if I started to try and talk I'd probably cry, so I stayed silent.
My arms had continued to tighten around her, I didn't want to let her go. Not again. During the silence she placed a hand on my head and stroked my hair gently, after a few moments I finally was able to find some words to say, "Elizabeth... I-I don't understand... how are you here...?" I glanced up at her, she didn't look down at me but stared behind me at the empty abyss. She doesn't say anything for what seemed like hours but she finally stops stroking my hair and leans down to my ear. I feel myself stop breathing for a moment as I wait for what she's about to say, "Vanity. It's time to wake up." I glance at her confused at her words,"Elizabeth- what are you-" before I can finish I take another glance at Elizabeth before realizing the at her wasn't there... her face was blank with not a single facial feature... my hands falter as I'm caught off guard and I feel myself start to take a few steps back.
She tilts her head at me and speaks again, "Why are you walking away from me...?" She starts to take steps towards me again, I can't take my eyes off of her distorted face as she closes in on me, she reaches for me and her hands wrap around neck, my eyes widen as she starts to tighten her grip. I struggle against her desperately but her grip was too tight for me to resist, "E-Elizabeth-! Why are you doing this-..!?" I cried out, she doesn't respond but tightens her grip once more, I feel as if I was going to pass out... my eyes slowly start to close and my struggles become weaker. My eyes close but I soon wake up once more, inside the dining room with my head resting on the table and tears streaming down my face. A nightmare...
