When True Colors Bleed

Snake Bite

Matthew's POV:- 

I have been looking for this for a very long time . The nightmares have been terrible , and I needed an escape. I have tried every kind of drug possible to escape , but it's of no use , the woman haunts my dreams . Not one but two of them , can you believe that ? 

The old lady keeps reminding me of my responsibilities . I have absolutely no f*****g clue what she means by responsibility ! The dream are never complete. But the other woman with her captivating beauty keeps me mesmerized. Her haunting brown eyes , beautiful full lips , long curly hair and beautiful curvy body . She keeps me captivated . 

Then I see fire burning everything within its reach and finally quenching it's thirst by engulfing me into it's long yellow flames.

I do not know what the old woman means by responsibility , I don't know who she wants me to find . I don't know what she means by; " Complete Yin Yan to reach full potential ". I don't know why I feel so empty , so hollow as if something is missing. I want this feeling to fade.... I can't go on like this . I'd do anything for this to go away.

This is what led me to this shabby place , it's rumored that the guy sells snake bite here and if you take one shot of it you'd forget everything. I am here to test it. I am here to forget my nightmares for sometime.

 I was pulled out of my mind by the sound of a very beautiful voice. I looked up to see a blonde lady with green eyes looking at me. She had tattooed sleeves and was wearing a tight rank top and a short. " What's your poison sweetheart?" , she asked in a sexy voice. But she wasn't the face I was looking for. I replied rather coldly ; " I am here for Simon". 

She arched her perfect eyebrows ; "Simon?". "Yes." I replied and then lowered my voice and whispered ; " Snake bite " 

She looked at me from head to toe , making a note of my tall , lanky white frame with dead blue eyes and long black hair , and said " Wait here ."

The lady walked into the hut and I was once again left alone with my thoughts . 

It was almost evening the sun was setting in the horizon , the blue of the sky was being kissed by the orange of the setting Sun. It was beautiful to watch . I firmly believe Mother Nature is an artist and she creates perfection which we humans decide to destroy. 

Since this shabby hut happens to be right beside the woods , I can hear the Crickets start their night song , the birds call their loved one back to nest .

I loved the sound but for some strange reason it doubled the emptyness growing inside me . In my hear the sound of the Crickets kept on increasing , the emptyness in my heart kept on growing , threatening to consume every bit of me.

I was pulled out of my self destructive trance when a tall lanky guy with black eyes , black hair and an eyebrow ring came Infront of me .

"What the f**k are you doing here?" ; the guy asked.

So much for the formalities. I was startled by his approach , that's no way to talk to a potential client you are meeting for the first time. 

"Excuse me!" , I couldn't hide the irritation in my voice.

"You are not suppose to be here . What are you doing here?" ; the man replied. 

"Wait! Do you know me ? " I asked surprised. " Who doesn't know you? But you've gotta find her -" I interrupted him mid sentence ;" I think you are mistaken, I am here for the snake bite " .

"Prince-" he started but I interrupted him again. "Look I'll pay you anything.....please." 

Simon looked at me for sometime and then nodded his head.

"Come in." He replied gesturing me to follow him.

I followed him. The inside wasn't as shabby as the outside . It was preety beautiful with yellow crystal strands as door curtains and blinds , there's a beautiful fountain in the centre of the room. There's people scattered all around the room . Some smoking pots , some drinking stuffs , some sniffing on coke , he guided me through the room into a smaller room. 

This room was darker then the others , there's a mattress at one corner and giant statue of Lord Siva in the other end . Simon gestured me to sit on the mattress . I noticed that the entire room was lit with blue neon lights....tiny bulbs which looks like stars in black sky. 

The woman from earlier walked into the room ; " I am Elisa . Stick out your tongue preety boy. " I do as I was ordered. I feel a very bitter liquid touch the tip of my tongue. 

"This will have to do for your first time. " Simon said. Elisa hugged my neck and seductively whispered into my ear; " I'll be your woman for tonight , sweetheart."

That's the last thing I know before being pulled into the vortex of my nightmare. I see her , my princess looking at me with so much sadness in her eyes , so much disappointment , I lower my eyes emberrased. I hear the most beautiful voice talk to me "Find me prince , please come find me." 

This is the first time ever she spoke to me. Her voice sweeter then honey was music to my ears . I looked up only to find her image being replaced by the old lady , "Find her Prince. She needs you. " And everything turns into darkness.
