In My Dreams

The Beast Within

Once I hit the wall I felt something gross and wet touch my back. Knowing it must be the blood I knew It must not matter to much. No matter how fake I know it is, it still felt so real. I look up at the beast, it was carrying a large cleaver in its left hand. The cleaver was dripping with blood and the beast wore a odd looking mask over its face. It almost look unrealistic and very unrecognizable. I had no idea of telling what the beast was because of the mask. As it began to raise its right hand towards my head I thought it was about to grab me when just then it put its hand gently on my cheek. I could feel the cold palm of its hand and fingers touching my cheek. Such a feeling sent a chill down my spine as I was still looking up at him. This beast also wore a full suit of armor almost military looking. As I was shaking in fear it turned around and exited the room. There was a large metal door that I hadn't noticed before. Once it had closed the door I heard the sound of him locking it. I ran to the door but tripped over something large sprawled across the floor. When I sat up to see what it was I had seen it was a girl. Once I had gotten a closer look I turned the girl over to see a dreadfully familiar face. It was red, she was most certainly dead and the blood in the room and on the beasts cleaver was hers mixed with various other victim's blood. Tears quickly came to my eyes seeing the large cuts across her body as it seemed that whoever did this had fun with it. No doubt that that awful monster had done something like this. It seemed that the spark in my heart was becoming stronger as I saw this. More and more tears came flowing out of my eyes as I couldn't stop crying. 'This was my sister, my family, one of the few I care about in the world I live in.' As I knew all of this I thought about what could have happened to everyone else. Jake, raven, Isabelle, kyomi, Caleb. Or rather what could be happening. This was the true living hell, everything I lived for, protecting and helping them. Gone, as if erased mindlessly and thoughtlessly from that of myself done by one without emotion at all. As that spark in my heart grew stronger I transformed into my wolf form and charged at the door. It felt like my strength was unmatchable. I felt like I could destroy this whole building. After breaking down the large metal door I found myself in a dim white hallway. As I saw the beast exiting another room in that hallway I bolted at him and tackled him. "Where are they!? What did you do with them!?" I ask angerly and growling. It seemed this beast wasn't entirely a monster but also a portion of him was human. He turned into his human form and I backed away seeing who it was. As he takes his helmet off my eyes widen and I backed up. "C-caleb!?" As he stands up and looks at me he is still holding the cleaver. "You killed her didn't you? You killed your sister. I will never forgive you. You took an innocent life." I turn human and tears come to my eyes. "N-no Caleb please believe me! I never killed anyone!" I try to explain to him. Without me noticing as I was only focused on him, the walls and doors of the hallway had fallen away and Caleb's armor had been gone as well. "We are so much alike. We have both killed whilst using the monster inside of us. We can't escape it Nina. Don't try to fight it cause there is no point." He explains to me as I back up and slip on the edge. I fall through the darkness.
