Nightmarish

Part Two

Mariam looked around in the inky black night for any sign of life. She saw none and it worried her. The night was starless, the clouds ever only letting a few beams of precious moonlight fall at a time.

A sudden gust of chilly wind tossed her hair around as Mariam felt herself being drawn forward. Her bare feet felt a damp sandy shore as she walked along. Salty ocean water lapped greedily at her ankles but its freezing temperature barely registered to the blunette in her unsettled, trance-like state.

One foot in front of the other and a vast expanse of endless sky was Mariam's world as she marched forward, never looking back. There was a slight feeling of apprehension clenching in her stomach which made dread rise in her throat. She didn't know what she was meant to find but something told her it wouldn't be good.

It was then that she saw it. Illuminated by a ray from the moon was a small huddled mass. She knelt next to the motionless figure with ghost-like grace and gently rolled him over.

"No."

The single hollow syllable haunted the air as she repeated it over and over allowing her voice to grow in volume and urgency.

"No. No! NO!"

She was screaming now as she looked upon his lifeless face, the face of the one she loved.

"MAX!"

Mariam shot up from her bed with a hand extended in front of her. Her other hand rested over her heart feeling the hastened beat in a state of shock. Her breathing was quick and choppy, evidence of the tears she was crying.

Then a warm hand grasped hers and a comforting, all too familiar voice purred into her ear:

"I'm here."


A/N: My next drabble won't be anywhere near as depressing and character-torturing as this. I promise.
