UNLEASHED: The power within

CHAPTER 6

I'm mesmerized by the scene in front of me, nothing can describe better the way alluring this place is. No clue as to which this century is but if someone asks me if I would like to live here for the rest of my life, I will say yes in a heartbeat. Situated in my line of sight is a grant castle, something that doesn't exist anymore in the twenty-first century. It is planted in front of a big mountain that is shrouded by green trees and grass. Different types of flowers blossom all over, what entices me more is the abundance of dandelions and lilies. It's like this place knows me better. I twirl savoring the vibrant energy that this place is producing. I can easily get lost here. Even the sun hits differently, a great difference.

Within a skip of a heartbeat, clouds start covering the sky promptly confusing the hell out of me. Animals go on a rampage flying and running to no destination. I didn't get to admire their species since most of them are exotic and foreign to me. Their desperate cries break my heart into tiny pieces but the darkness has other plans. The sky is now completely blanketed by dark vicious clouds. Flowers and trees start wilting like life is being sucked out of them until they are nothing but fleeting dust. I notice also the animals suffer the same fate until there is nothing but a miserable castle standing idle. Soon it becomes pitch black that I can't even see my own body.

A scream tears through the dark astounding me only to realize that it is my screech. Dizziness swirl around my head before black dots start covering my sight until everything goes black.

I wake up scared breathing heavily, dots of sweat forming on my forehead. I love the memory of that castle too much to let it go. Quickly, I throw the covers away get out of bed and take my colored pencils and a sketchbook. I start drawing fast before my memory is distorted. After finishing, I stretch my hands looking at the results, to say l am shocked is an understatement. I just wanted to capture the basic things I still remember but that is not what I am glancing at. I was supposed to be looking at a castle made of different-sized granite rocks. It is supposed to have a magnificent entrance bed with flowers. But I am gazing at a god, not in the literal sense. The man is handsome, beyond compare. From his pointy nose to his chiseled jaws, everything is just perfect. I have never seen this him before but somehow his face is so familiar. My artistry has never been this good. Just looking at his electric blue eyes, I feel a tug in my heart. A sinking hollow. This longing I cannot explain bombards me hard. A tingling feeling on my cheek is what makes me realize that I am crying. I wipe the tears confused, why am I crying and where is this feeling of sadness coming from? Shaking my head, I get up from the bed as my thoughts drift back to the dream I just had.

Something has been different these two past days I have dreamt, the dreams have gotten peculiar, I can feel it deep in my bones. They are leaving me more and more perplexed than ever because of their nature. It's not normal and I don't know their meaning either. Are they just mere dreams or not? And what happened to that husky voice? More and more questions remain hanging.

Black has not given up on finding the person who helped me at the hospital but it's all in vain since we have no clue where to begin. But he has found a way, I guess. The person did not leave any address, email, or number. It's like he doesn't even exist, or he just vanished on the surface of the earth. But Black is hell-bent on finding him.

Today Black and I decided on taking a stroll, it is a good idea given that we don't hang out much. This is my last day of resting before it's back to business. I really hate leaving this stress-free world I have gotten used to this past week but I have no choice. I hope things will get better shortly because I can't keep living like this. It's soul-torturing. Once I was tempted to become a stripper, it easy money, and only work at night but I decided against it because I respect my privacy and integrity thank you very much.
