Chapter 162 - Dreams (1/2)
”Little star” A woman's smooth voice is suddenly heard, making me slowly open my eyes. When my eyes adjust, my eyes shoot open as I jump up. The woman with bloody tears is back, standing in the room, watching me sleep.
I turn behind me to see an empty bed but when I look back, the woman is now closer, making me jump again. She watches me with that same silent sorrow as she slowly lifts her hand, pointing to the door. I look to the door, then back to her with a frown.
She stands there waiting, so I quickly pull the blankets back and get up. I walk over barefoot to the door and pull it open to find a long dark hallway. The ground was dark compacted dirt with rough stone walls making me frown. Was this door always here? What the hell is this? I turn back to look at her in question but she's gone! I bite my lip and turn back to the dark tunnel, nearly coming out of my skin yet again.
She stands at the end of the tunnel, waiting. I groan and mumble ”This is the part where you walk away and act like none of this just happened...” I hesitate but when she calls out to me, 'This way, little star.' I find my foot moving on its own.
I release the door and walk down the dark tunnel, following the creepy woman with bloody tears as I clench the sides of my white dress. I turn to look back at the door but quickly realize that it's gone! Nothing but the other end of the dark tunnel is behind me so I clench my fists and quickly follow the woman.
I feel my teeth chattering and quickly realize that the temperature has become extremely cold. I wrap my arms around myself as I try to calm myself down. It's just a dream... like last time. But... it wasn't JUST a dream. I look down at my right arm and swallow hard.
Just as I'm about to say something, we come to a large opening. I look around the dark dungeon-like opening with a frown. It was so dark down here, I could hardly see what I was looking at. I turn to look for the woman but she's no longer here!
”Hello?” I quietly call out and wait but nothing but silence greets me. I step further into the large room and look around in confusion but I suddenly step on air! I stumble and quickly crawl back. Holy! There's a freaking hole in the ground!!
I pat my chest to calm my heart as I slowly stand and walk back over to the ledge. I look down and see nothing but darkness so I squint my eyes and try my best to see how big the damn thing is. 'Little star... you have to stop him. You must.' the woman says from the other side of the hole.
I snap my head up to her and frown mumbling ”Why do you keep calling me that...” She lifts her pale hand and points down at the pit. I look to the pit before looking back to her and saying ”Oh no, not gonna happen. I draw the line at creepy-ass dark holes. I need you to tell me what you're trying to show me. I'm confused.”
She just continues to stare at me with sad eyes but when I suddenly feel something warm on my bare feet, I look down and curse. Dark red blood was rushing over the floor and falling down into the large dark pit in the ground.
