With Death Etched In My Heart

Chapter 10: Dreams

I felt light.

Like I was floating in the air.

I looked around.

There was a black forest, and a pale,hazy moon, illuminating the night.

I moved my legs.

Looking ahead, a deep red light pulsed in the dark.

I followed it.

the branches of the trees around me seemed to move, creating a path for me.

the air was cool, and had an eary feel to it.

I shivered, not from the cold, but from the sense of fear I felt.

The light pulsed brighter, the closer I move to it.

I came into view, and I saw wha it was.

a blood-soaked bed.

lying in it, was Asher.

His body was pale, cold, and unmoving.

I tried screaming, but nothing came out.

I turned around to run, but my feey were planted on the ground.

Suddenly, movement came from the bed....

I watched as Asher's hand hovered slowly, reaching for me.

His eyes rolled back in his head, and he moaned.

"Graham, what did you do to me?"

His voice was throaty and wet sounding.

It sent me shaking.

I tried to tell him.

Asher, I never meant for this to happen. I'm so sorry, please.... Forgive me.... It never should have come this far.

My mouth moved but the words wouldn't come.

He suddenly began to melt.

Like wax...

Until he was a red pool...

of blood.

This time, I screamed again.

And I found my voice.

"ASHER!!!"

I bolted out of bed, sweating.

I breathed in heavily, hands shaking terribly.

"It was just a dream..."

But it felt real.

Asher haunted me.

I couldn't get him out of my mind.

Him, in the hospital bed, completley helpless.

Pracically dead.

I rubbed my forehead, swiing the wet hair from my eyes.

I calmed down, after closing my eyes, and taking a deep breath.

I looked over at the alarm clock, and it read 7:34 A.M.

I sighed.

I didnt see any sleep coming my way, so I got up, and got ready for the day.

~~~~~~~~~

I sat downstairs, lacing up my black combat boots.

The radio played in the background, sending heavy music through the house.

I tapped my foot to the beat of 'Helena' by My Chemcal Romance.

A breeze flowed through my house, causing me to shiver.

I threw on a red beanie, and my checkered sweater, preparing to leave.

~~~~~~~~~

I stuck the keys in the ignition , and the engine roared to life.

Pulling out of the driveway, I checked to be sure no one was behind me.

Clearing, I pulled into the road and sped off down, among the street of houses.

~~~~~~~~~

I was nowhere.

Well, to anyone else, I was.

But this was my spot.

No one ever came here, and no one else knew about it, except for me.

I parked in a deep incline,   the car in park mode.

I breathed out.

I only came here when I really needed to.

and now, I couldn't be anywhere else.

There was a light breeze, and the sun shown, highlighting every blade of green grass in sight.

The willow leaves flowed in the wind.

They created a small dance,

grabbing and hugging eachother.

The massive strands fell to the ground, hiding the inside of the tree.

Surronding, Purple tulips waved in the wind,

almost smiling.

I made my way to the gigantic willow, and seperaed a section of grassy sheets.

Inside, it was dark.

Well, the sun shone through the green arms, creating a musty green glow.

I smelled of fresh water.

I kinda smiled, relaxing almost instantly.

at the base of the trunk, laid a red checkered flannel blanket.

I sat there, and leaned back, on to the trunk.

My eyes fluttered close, and my hands tarced along the soft, worn fabric of the cloth.

I couldn't handle everything.

It was all too much...

My mind wondered blankly, and before I knew it I was falling into a deep sleep.....

Hope you enjoyed!
