Whispers At Midnight

nightmare

William

I opened my eyes. I was on my bed. I looked around, there was no one. I went out of my room but I didn't saw any maids or any guard. It was unusual morning. Usually there were always maids cleaning the mansion and guard coming in and out and I remember now a days there were even more guards but now all mansion seemed empty and quite.

"Mommy....dad.... mommy where are you."

I called them in loud voice. My voice was echoing in the mansion indicating how empty it is. I got no reply. I went downstairs towards the kitchen but it was empty. No one was there,not even a single human being. It was scaring me now. Tears formed in my eyes.

"Mommy where are you. If you are playing then stop I'm scared." I said crying

"Mommyyyyy"

"Dad"

I ran towards their room upstairs hoping that they are still sleeping.

I opened the door but it scared me more. Room was empty completely. Bed was empty and neatly set like no one slept there.

"Mommy,dad. "I went towards their wardroom screaming.

But there was no one. I checked their washroom and it was empty as well. I ran out of room going to rooftop and it was empty and I ran all around the mansion calling my parents crying badly. I was scared. I little 7 years old kid. I was scared. I was all alone. It felt like I'm alone in this world. And my world was destroyed. My world was with my parents. I always loved the mansion but today it was scaring. It was eating me. I was struggling crying running in corridors. Checking each room again and again.

"Mommy, mommy"

I opened my eyes. I came back to reality. I was breathing heavily. My eyes were wet with tears. I processed what just happened.

It was another nightmare. Same nightmare which have been hunting me from my childhood. First time I had this nightmare when everything was normal with my family. That happy family forever moment. After that every night I had this nightmare until I started drinking alcohol.

Last night I slept in basement due to pain. Maybe I was unconscious due to pain. I ordered my man not to disturb me so no one dared to. And because I didn't had alcohol so this time nightmare was clear like it has been before.

I felt very harsh pain in my back. Blood was all around on the ground. I was still not satisfied with the punishment I gave myself for giving her pain. I tried to stand on my feet but I collapsed on the ground and feeling that pain it was giving me more pain that how she was bearing this pain given by me. I would have tortured myself more but I had to see her. I was dying to see her.

I called my man and they came inside and a gasp left their mouth. They instantly came to me and supported me to stand on my feet. They took me out of basement and said me to let them treat my wounds but I didn't need that right now. Only thing that can give me relief is seeing her. I went towards my room myself. I was stumbling but was ager to see her like my life depends on it.

I opened my door and saw her lying on the bed. Seeing her I felt like I got my breathing back. The peace and relief inside me was making my eyes wet. I went towards the bed and set beside her. I kept my gaze on her face which was mostly covered with plasters. It was giving me pain but still the fact that she is alive and with me was enough to make me alive again. I can stare her all my life like this but I wanted to look into her eyes. I noticed so many changes in her body  and I was smiling feeling happy having her again. I desperately wanted to remove all wounds and heal her so that she can not feel any pain.
