Watching Amelia

Prologue

a/n: Carmen from Amelia's dream.

"Carmen... Why are you crying?" I asked, my voice soft as could be. I walked over to my fiancé, my one true love and stopped a few feet away from her. I had never heard her sob before... It was something new to me. "Carmen," I whisper, reaching out my hand to her. I touch her shoulder to turn her around. "It's alright, I'm he--" I gasp when my love turns around to face me. Her face is dark with blood traveling fast down her skin. Her eyes have no color in them and her hair is dropping over her forehead, hiding her face. I stepped back in shock, my eyes wide, my hand covering my mouth which had dropped open.

"Oh My God! Carmen!" I screeched as this dark figure of my fiancé walked closer to me. I could hear every body in her body breaking as she took each slow step. Her body shook as she walked, large gashes over her legs and arms spilling out blood everywhere. Her face had twisted into something evil. She smiled ruthlessly as she walked closer to me. I stumbled backwards, falling on a dark floor that formed below me suddenly.

"Carmen... please stop!" I screamed while she continued to creep closer to me. Dark red blood leaked over the floor, covering my body and holding me down the the floor, almost as if to drown me in guilt. I closed my eyes and reopened them to see the supernatural council and Carmen's family standing behind her.

"Traitor!" They screamed.

"You killed my daughter!" Her mother screeched at me.

The walls began to bleed. They produced a sound of Carmen's gruesome scream. It sounded violent and painful. Her twisted face grew closer to my own as one of her legs twisted and the bone broke in half. It poke out of her skin and she fell. This didn't stop her, Carmen continued to crawl closer to me- finally getting her gashed and bloody face into my own before whispering:

"Why... Why'd you kill me?" Her mouth filled with blood before she fell against my lap and died.

"No!" I screamed.

My body lurched forward from the bed as sweat made it's way down my forehead. I couldn't catch my breath with my eyes wide open. "Carmen!" I screamed before the door burst open and her oldest brother, Jake, came into the room. I saw him quickly rush over to the bed and pull me into his chest.

"I'm here," he whispered, soothing my hair, "It's going to be alright. I'm here."

I couldn't help it... I let my tears go and they slid from my cheek to his bare chest.

"I killed her..." I whisper.
