Notes: Stronger By Kelly Clarkson describing what Wad gone through the best. That he became stronger from his past tough experiences. (hcpoirot)
Chapter 021
Wad was in a long dark tunnel. He ran as fast as his small legs can carry him. He kept glancing behind, expecting the thing that pursuing him tenaciously will spring out of a sudden and caught him.
He cannot saw the interior of the underground passage clearly. Only a faint light from the other side of the tunnel motivated him to kept sprinting a head. The cold poodle of water on the surface slowing his stride.
And the smell...oh..the smell was unbearable. His nose kept smelling the mixed of pungent rotten food, dead mice and fish guts stench . It made him gags a few times and cause him almost threw out the content of his stomach. But Wad willed himself not to do that. He cannot waste any moment.
Time was of essence. He could heard noise of footsteps becoming nearer and nearer. He try to hastened his pace. But fatique was slowly creeping into him. Sweat are pouring all over . His breathe becoming erratic. His legs was hurting.
Come on! Don't give up! Wad encouraged himself.
Yes! Now he can see the exit of the tunnel. It was close . But so does the creature that persistently chasing him. He could hear the sound of teeth gnawing and louder footsteps closing in . Wad started feeling panic and afraid.
Stop it! He commanded himself. He had to kept his calm. That beast can sense any weakness and fear in people and will become more determined to captured it prey.
He injected all the energy left in him and racing foward. His effort paid off. He was almost out of the end of the tunnel. The light was so bright , it almost blind him.
Only one more step. And he will be fre.....
In a blink of eye, an enormous hands grabbed his back and dragged him back to the depth of hell hole without mercy. Wad try to freed himself without any success. In the dark of the monster lair, it pushed Wad's puny body into the floor. The cruel red eyes look at him with pure evil .
His big mouth opened and roaring , "You are mine!"
It leapt towards him with such a force. The monster raised it sharpened knife claws and ready to plunged it into the boy heart and rip it out.
"Noooo!"
Wad shouted and opened his eyes widely. He was grasping for breath. His heart pounding. He looked around. He was in his living room , sitting on the couch , sweating profusely.
He let out a sigh relief. It just a bad dream. The dreadful nightmare was back, he thought feeling frustated. It came with no fixed schedules . Sometimes it can happened twice or more in a week. Other time only once in two weeks.
And Wad had them for years. The dream was pretty much the same with few changes.
This time he was a kid in the dream. Another time he was a teenager or his present self. But all had the same ending. No matter how quick he ran, he always got caught by the monster in the end.
Each time it happened, he know it was only a dream . But he still kept sprinting hoping to reach the exit. The fear and agony in it was real. And he will kept fighting it until this nightmare never came back again.
Slowly he stood up. He groaned.
His whole body was aching. He felt better from yesterday after the beating he got. But he still felt the pain and soreness all over . He can walk now without using the crutches, albeit very slowly or the pain will return. He went to the kicthen area, opening the refrigerator. He took out a bottle of water and drank it.
He was calmer now. His heart beat back to normal.
He checked his reflection on a small mirror near the wall. He look terrible. The bruises had change color into deep purple. He probably need time out for a day or two from his part-time jobs or he will scared the customers away.
He looked at the clock on the wall. Five o'clock over twelve minutes in the morning. He need to wash up , preparing breakfast for Wen and after that maybe take some rest again.
Notes: Creepy nightmare is the worst. Why Wad kept getting the nightmares? The plot thickens. :) (hcpoirot)
