Chapter: One – The First Dream
When I was little, about five I think… that's when I had the first dream of him that I remember. He was in my room, seeming to be stunned at his surroundings. Then, he saw me. At first, his eyes were pure red, and he looked as though he was going to attack me. I, being to young and naïve to know fear, showed none. This seemed to surprise him, and he calmed down, his eyes becoming relatively normal, except for the fact that his irises were a deep blood-red. He beckoned to me, and, when I went to him, he knelt so that he could speak with me.
"Who are you, little one?"
His voice was soothing, seeming to wrap around me and make me feel safe. Unhesitatingly, I answered him. "My name is Mary. What's yours?"
He seemed to ignore my question, but, having nothing else to do, he held me close and told me stories of a time long ago, including a sad one about a beautiful princess who had thought she'd lost her prince, and had taken her own life. Finally, my mother came in to wake me. His face taking on a silent snarl, the man rose to face her, but vanished with a look of shock as she walked right through him.
I kept dreaming of him, as I grew up, and I grew to fear the dreams. They weren't normal. I fear him, too, even though he can't be real. He makes me feel like there's something inside of me trying to get out, and I am helpless to resist.
Who is he?
I fear that if he is real, and someday he really does appear in my life, I will be unable to resist him.
I will be unable to resist my dream.
