Jason saw that he was stranded in the woods, he looked around and saw only trees that were reaching and covering the horizon. The next moment he knew was that he was running. Jason did not knew why was he sprinting across the woods. His legs were leading his way and he could feel the heavy breathing within him.

He ran and ran and ran as if his life depended on it. He could hear hubbub of shouts behind him. When he looked back he saw throngs of people were chasing him. They clasped lanterns and cudgel in their hands.

Jason blinked and saw white ceiling above him. He felt cold on his chest. He tried to move but he could not. It was a if somebody was sitting over him. He could not breath properly when he looked over the blanket it was raised slightly as if someone hiding beneath it. He wished it was a dream and slowly raised his hands. Touched the edge of the blanket and raised. He froze when saw a woman beneath it. Her head was dug between her legs and was touching his chest. Jason felt her cold nose. He could barely feel his own body trembling.

A low feminine was emerged from diabolical body. "They did this to me!"

"Who arrrr.... youuu..?" His heart was throbbing.

She slowly raised her head enough that her forehead was visible. The rest of her face was covered with her hair. A loud thud voice came and he jumped up on his bed. His body was still trembling involuntarily.

"A Hell of a nightmare". The loud thud was still in his head he fumbled off his bed and went out to see it where it had emanated. He went into the lounge and then into the Hall. He then reached the door. He opened it and stood out in small landing outside. The rain was falling faster now. He was standing there when the door slammed behind him. Instinctively, he clutched the door knob and open the door. It opened. He scanned the inside with his eyes but nothing was there.

"It must have been the wind" He closed the door and went back to his bedroom. He climbed his bed again. He laid there for a couple of minutes before he again lost himself in the world of dreams.

He got up and saw four wooden walls around him. Silence was interfered by Jason's heavy breathing. Jason froze when he heard the cry of a female . Jason turned around and saw a girl which looked in her teens tied up to a chair. Her hairs covered her face and faint sounds of sobbing came from her. Jason eyes were transfixed on the being. The surrounding was dark and menacing. His heart throbbed even more faster. The girls hair were rough as if they had not been washed since a long time.

The area looked like some sort of a cellar. He could hear the lapping of water from nearby. It was like as if he had timetravelled into the past. Though the room was dark but the figure was spotlighted from no where. He could not find the source of light niehter did he cared for it. His eyes were still on the female.Suddenly, a voice emerged from her. It was all gibberish and he could not understand a single word.

He only understood her final words '"Hitherto You Come, But No Further". Jason started to tremble and dropped on the floor to with fear. Then suddenly, he heard the sound of the mechanism within the door lock. He looked up and saw a door swung open. A sillhoutte loomed on the doorway and started descending the stairs. Then all of a sudden he woke up.
