A Dead Man's Bride - Cursed One

Chapter 2

Jessica was curious about what father Mendez wanted to discuss about, however it had to wait untill morning. Jessica was not aware of her gifts and the old religious was observing Jessica very well, he knew what God had made her capable of. That night Jessica had a dream and in her dream she saw a very unusual place, she stood inside an old chapple. It was almost falling apart for there was no one to care, it was abandoned. Jessica saw herself sitting on one of the benches in the front row, waiting for the priest to come and start the service. For hours she kept waiting but there was no one who came, she was all alone, untill quite late in the evening when it was almost dark she heard foot steps approaching, she turned around to see who it was, expecting the priest but it was a young man who came and sat right behind her, she smiled at him but he had no reaction to offer.

Jessica waited for some more time for the priest to come but nothing happened. Infact it was too late now, darkness had fallen over the land and because there was no light in there Jessica could not see much. She turned around to ask the young man if he knew where the priest was but he was not there anymore. She got up from her seat and very carefully minding her steps headed towards the door, she reached the door and turned towards the alter to bow down and noticed that the man was right in front of her. She was startled, but he stood still, his eyes looked straight into Jessica's and Jessica felt as if he was able to look into her soul. As if he knew all her weakness and all that tempted her, she was stoned and was unable to move inspite off all her efforts. The stranger held her hand, his hands were cold as a dead body, he came close to her and spoke in her ears in a strange language and then there was a loud scream, a scream ripping the heart of silence and darkness. Jessica opened her eyes, she woke up and her dad rushed into her room asking her what had gone wrong for she was screaming. She was terrified because of what she had witnessed in that dream but she did not want her father to bother, so she did not tell him about the dream.
