Devoured by dark

64 16 27
                                    

I stared up the white ceiling blankly. Again.
My room is almost devoured in darkness. The only source of little light reaching my eyes is that one yellow bulb flickering at the corner of the room.

And here I am..on my queen size bed in the center with a pillow holding tight against my chest.
My room is quite big. There's a window to my right, a giant bookcase beside it and a table standing at the window.
A big tv right in front of me. You will also find two slightly purple comfy love seat on the right and left which go very well with my pink-white room. The giant beige bean bag is in the mid of the two love seats and blends well with the cream and beige curtain hanging there at my window. There's also an attached bathroom at the left corner.
You may also find a dresser beside the washroom door where I always end up giving myself an obnoxious look every morning after dressing up so bad.
U see...I don't look bad but my dressing sense?? Better not talk about this right now..

I am not very congenial with the idea of getting a seperate room like many people, u know? It's quite scary for a person like me to be in such a big room with absolutely no one.

Oh there! Don't take me wrong. I am not a scaredy-cat. ok? It's j-just.....Hey! Don't laugh!

So after trying hard not to sleep, I finally take my gaze off the 'beautiful' ceiling sheltering my head and turn to my right to reach the side table for my phone. A little hope in me was saying that i might have spent at least a couple of hours talking to myself.

Oh yes, I have a habit of talking to myself.

I clicked the side button of my phone to turn it on. The sudden light that flashed on my face caused a little strain in my head and i narrowed my crystal eyes. With those little green eyes I saw the time.
What!?
It was still 2:00 am! Oh Lord! I was just too tired and somnolent . I just can't take it anymore. I was struggling hard to keep my eyes open. But in vain.

I was again going towards that green grassy field where that big and dark house lived. From its looks, it seems like it has survived a major fire accident. That house always seemed somewhat known yet so unknown and haunting to me. It felt like I was being hypnotized! The more I was trying to stick hard to the ground and not move..the more I was being pulled towards it. My speed was gradually increasing with every next moment. The cold winds were striking my horrified face, making me shiver and forcing my long blonde hair to swing back.
Finally I reached the giant, dusty door of the house which opened itself as I reached it.
Just like it happens in those typical horror movies.

As soon as I entered the room, I felt someone's presence. I saw a photo frame on the floor at the corner, burning. For a brief second, I felt like I knew the people in the photograph but I wasn't able to recognize them. Strange!
I experienced many other wierd sights as I walked faster and faster.
I literally started running to the interior of the house now. I got up the staircase but froze to see a giant silhouette before me, a few steps ahead. I wasn't able to see the face. That 'someone' vanished somewhere and I heard a faint whisper. It was like someone was just behind me and speaking in my ears. The voice said 'Sacrifice'.
Some kind of black force again started pulling me and now I remembered where I was being called. A dark, monstrous room where people were already present somewhere in the dark to haunt me. As soon as I entered, the door behind me shut down. And someone whispered again "surrender". Instantly I heard another manly voice speaking to me to be strong. To stick to what's right. Then, in a split second the same voice screamed out loud in pain and got mixed with the silence of the air.
Just then, a female hand with long witch like fingernails reached for my throat.
The last thing I saw before screaming and passing out was a beautiful silver ring with a red gemstone embedded in it.

I fluttered open my eyes only to see beautiful dark brown eyes staring down at me worriedly.
As I sat up, I noticed I was in her lap and she was caressing my messy blonde hair.
She asked, "Again?"
I nodded with a severe headache and somewhat blur vision.
Aunt Rosy kissed my forehead and asked me to rest while she makes a hot cup of coffee for me.
As she goes, I sat back and began interrogating myself once again about my wierd dream. I've been having it since i was a child. I don't know why but my sixth sense says it's not merely a dream. It's something more than that. A lit more.

Is my life taking a turn?
Am i to witness something? Something unusual?

After thinking for few seconds, I finally shoved these haunting thoughts off of my mind and came up with the conclusion that I am just being paranoid!

And then...
All of a sudden, my phone rang...
