The Cursed love

Chapter 1

Nightmares are good things if they disappear on opening your eyes.

Dear diary,
I always wondered, Is life all about finding who we are or is it about being who we are?

But the day I met him I wanted life to be about who we mean to those whom we love...

The dark clouds covered the sky of Half moon bay. The light of full moon enlightened the edges of the clouds but didn't reached the grounds. Faint Howlings could be heard coming from woods.

These howls could be creepy for anyone awoke mistakenly at this time of night but not for Emrale Taylor, these howls were like lullaby. She didn't knew why but some how these howls comforted her in various ways. She felt like she was not alone who was awake in the middle of night.

Everytime Emrale thought she could sleep now and close her eyes,

The vision of back a woman kept coming, with her blue hairs waving creepily in the air and everything was glowing in stinging silver flash, its so flashy that it hurts.

The woman's voice echoed :

Buried in the cave of black lake,
Is the curse only they could break,
Only in thier last breaths the door shall open,

She then suddenly jerks awake as she sees something in that dreadful dream. Her eyes are wide open revealing greyish pupils. She was panting. Taking deep breaths she started looking for something.

Cellphone!

*Texting bff*
"Cas I can't sleep. Everytime I close my eyes it keeps appearing.😓😖"

"Oh Emmy! 😟
Don't worry, I am coming over."

"No. No. Just talk to me for while. I will get distracted.😩"

"Okay.🤔 Tell me what you wanna talk?

"Nope🤦‍♀️. 2 weeks remaining for final year to begin so nope."

"Then Boys?😉😏"

"🙄 No."

"Then what girl?!"

"May be about job?

"What job Emmy? Discussing animal attack? It is just terrifying! 😣"

" Ikr. There's been 5 kill in a week! I just can't digest if it were really animal attack.😳"

"Emmy! 3am at night and you want to discuss animal attacks in town? Please I am scared."

"I'm srry Cas. I just can't take it out of my head!"

"Why don't you talk with Dr. Derek?may be meeting charming Dr. Derek's face can really boost us up I guess?😂"

"Us? 😏 Plus Dr. Derek is out of town. Its mostly Dr. Malia in his proxy."

"Oh what a bad luck 😒"

"🤦‍♀️😂😂 Good grace Cas she is not that bad."

"Oh please🙄 Only good thing she has is her younger brother who will join first year this time😁"

"Won't you one guy in the town?🤦‍♀️"

"Oh sweetie😘 I won't be looking all the guys for me."

"Oh please I am fine the way I am. I know God has made a fantastic love story for me.😍"

"Yeah sure🤦‍♀️ but it's not fairy tale it real life!"

"I don't think I have found a guy of my type yet🤔"

"Hey wait up girl! My brother is everyone's type😏"

"Except mine😒! Well that reminds me. Did he fixed an appointment with Chief Carl?"

"Yes I guess. He too knows that tmrw is a big day."

"Well that's better 💯"

"Hey Emmy wait a min! How do you knw Dr. Derek is out of town and I don't?"

"May be because I am criminal psychology student and you are in behavior science?😒
Wow! why does you and behavior sound ironic together 😂🤭"

"You knw wht girl? Jz go to sleep. Go back to your nightmares 🤦‍♀️😒"

"😂😂Yeah I guess I should sleep now. Thanks though 😘"

"Seriously woman?! You call yourself my best friend?! 🙄"

"😂😂 Good night Castia Arbetor."

"☺️ Good night. See you tmrw. Take care."

And finally with some more struggle sleep consumed her. She knew this silent sleep was matter or time before the darkness turned to nightmares.

She had seen these nightmares since childhood but she never got used to them. Usually they were only lighting and people screaming. So her parents told her that it was because she had an accident early in her childhood. Though lately those nightmare seems to speak a different story.
The vague voices said.
"Don't curse her! She is __!"
"She will carry your sin!"
"You can't put ___ curse on a child!"
"Why? Because she__ mate?!"
"Take her away."
"Keep her safe till he comes..."

And then there were visuals of people burning in front of her and she just stood there like she had some way to save them yet she couldn't.

She keeps hearing more and more everytime, from last few weeks. More precisely after her 20th birthday. She thought it will make sense one day. But she was scared of what it will turn out to be. Anyone would be. Isn't it?

Finally the morning came and she woke up all drenched in sweat.

Not today Taylor! You meeting the chief of police. Your one mistake and Peter is all set to get you fired!
She thought to herself and shrugged off the struggle of getting merely 3hr sleep last night.

She looked at herself in mirror. Dark circles were now beginning to be visible under those grey eyes. Her too perfect nose now had mark of spectacles she wore while working. The only good feature that remain on her face were her plumpy pink lips matching perfectly with her skin tone.

Sighing heavily Emrale went to get ready for the day ahead. Indeed it was a big day!
