The Dream
With a rustling of the squeaky bed, the young red haired girl jolts up suddenly from her slumber. Her chest moves in and out in a rapid pace and her breathing could be heard anywhere in the dark and quiet room. Her red hair drops over her arms and legs that cover her naked body from view. She was sitting there, hugging her knees as fear shrouds in her cold body effortlessly and making her shake uncomfortably. The knocking from behind the door grows inaudible each second as thoughts race around in her disturbed mind.
"What was that…?" She thought to herself as she tried to recall lost memories of the dream. The only thing she could recall was the splattering of blood. She shudders as the one scene repeated over and over in her mind, seemingly wanting to play around with her. She couldn't see anything at all, just the scene that repetitively played in her mind until she was shaken awake by her younger brother.
"Elesis? Are you alright?" The red spiky haired boy asks as she looks up at him. His body was also naked, only having boxers on. "You were screaming, and I've been knocking on the door for a while. Is everything alright?" He asks her again as he stands up next to the bed. Elesis takes a bit of time to register what the boy had just said before shaking her head. "N… Nothing is wrong, Elsword. It's just a nightmare I had." She fakes a smile to him, who only sighs in return. "You can go on back to sleep." She says to him as he begins to walk away to the door. Closing it behind him, Elesis stares ahead at her sheets, still disturbed by what had happened in her dream. "That's right… It's only a dream. There's no need to worry about a silly nightmare." She lies back down on her bed and pulls her blanket back over her body, slowly drifting to sleep.
Dream Begins
Running past a corner, Elesis slides down the wall and pants heavily. She sticks her head out to see if it was still following her, and surely enough, the shadow was right there on the trail. She sits back up against the wall, closing her eyes as it drew closer to her. She wishes that it will just take the wrong course, but she knew it isn't as she could hear the thundering footsteps take place, shaking the ground as it took steps and more steps. The thundering echoes cease for the while as she takes a deep breath. She slowly took her head and looked past her corner, seeing if it is still there. It isn't. She stands up and steps out, taking a look around. "Heh… I guess I lost that bastard." She laughs softly as she starts to head away. Suddenly, something bloodlike takes a hold of her leg and pulls her up. She screams and shakes violently. She was turned around to face the menacing face of it. She couldn't get an exact view of it as it had its face covered in a blurred cloud. She closes her eyes and mouth as it spewed saliva from its mouth, trying to scare her senseless with its roar. She wipes off the saliva with her hand, and as she opens her eyes, she could see that she was being pulled into its mouth. She watches as her life was starting to slip away into its mouth. She couldn't do anything, she was defenseless, and she had nothing to fight it. She thought she was doomed at that moment, she thought that there was nothing to save her now.
Suddenly, when she opens her eyes again, she could see that she was now in a house. The house was strange, as it was a cabin, but with blood along the walls. The blood formed what seem to be dried red and black roots. She was disgusted and she felt like she could puke, but she couldn't. She starts to wander around to see what the cabin house really is. As she travels around mindlessly, she comes across a staircase that led down to the basement. She opens the door slowly and flicks the light switch on. The light didn't turn on though, so she wouldn't know where she is heading, yet… something was calling for her. She took a step into the staircase and waited, nothing happened. She takes another step, nothing happened. She continues down the staircase until she was twenty flights down. The staircase seemed to never wanting to end and let her on the basement floor. The next step changed the scenery. Everything had shifted and she was no longer on the staircase. She was now in what seems to be an eerie room, and just like everything else, there was blood. She walks deeper into the area, not able to turn back as if her legs were geared to make her walk forward. She looks side to side with each step, seeing how the area started to grow darker and bloodier. It wasn't until her thirteenth step that she came across something so disturbing.
It looked like a purple hair girl that has been torn limb from limb. Her head lies on a staff, eyes wide open and her jaws bashed open. Her legs were placed symmetrically in a criss-cross pattern, and her arms were broken into thirteen pieces. The bones were scattered around the scene, forming a circle around it as if it were a magical barrier. Blood was carefully leaked to form a circular puddle in the circle of bones, seeming to not want to leak out of the circle. The area shines a bit brighter, now revealing the blood that dried up on the skull. She couldn't take anymore of the sight. She turned away and gagged. When she turns back, the figure had reshaped itself. This time, it wasn't the purple haired girl, but instead a shadow. The shadow's hair was long, almost like Elesis', yet the weapon was different. Before she could take note of what it looked like, the shadow engulfed her.
Elesis is now in a dark chamber. Her arms were chained up to the wall as well as her legs. She looks around, seeing that there was nothing but the horrid smell of death that lingers in the air. She almost gags but then she hears footsteps and the rattling of more chains. The lights flash on as she closes her eyes, blinded by the light. After regaining her vision, she looks around once more, now noticing that there was another girl beside her. This time, the girl seemed to have an orange oriental skirt and shirt on. Her spear lies behind her as she shook violently. She was slapped against the cheeks as she settled down. The chains around her arms and legs were released as she was now thrown over the shoulder of the creature. She was thrown on the floor in which bloodlike tentacles came and wrapped around her arms and legs. She screams and tries to free herself. Suddenly, a buzzing could be heard as a saw was seen in the creature's hand. She screamed again, seeing that the saw was nearing her crotch, inching closer and closer. Elesis turns away as a painful scream could be heard and blood splattering everywhere.
Dream Ends
Gasping for air, Elesis wakes up and sits up on the bed. She looks around, putting her hands on herself as she could feel that her body had no blood on it. She was shaking again, hugging her legs again as she remembered everything that happened. She gags at the thought, and stands up. She walks to the bathroom and stood in front of the sink. The cold water splashes on her pale face as she held to the sides of the sink. She looks up at the mirror, seeing that everything was alright. She shakes her head and looks outside, seeing that it was bright outside. Suddenly, a girl's shrilling cry is heard, making her rush out of her room and to the main square.
