The girl in the mist...
It’s a chilly dawn in the deep misty forest. Winter has not yet taken over completely. The creepy wicked trees stood still as the haze covered almost everything making it difficult to see. The freezing insects were chattering as if they could see death.
He sees a figure walking in the woods.
“Who’s there?” he asks.
It was a ghostly girl walking far away into the deep jungle. She’s wearing a pale dress of knee length and her hair’s dark.
He follows her unwillingly and says, “Wait…….Who are you?”
She is only a few steps ahead of him now.
She turns back and he could only see her mesmerizing hazel eyes. Her face wasn’t visible enough. He was frozen for a moment because of those eyes of hers. They casted a spell on him and he couldn’t move.
“There you are!” she said.
Her voice was echoing.
“Who are you?” he repeated.
She turns her back and continues walking. The spell seemed to be broken now and he could move. He followed her as if she pulled his soul... She turns back again and says, “Well, you know me, you know me very well Sky.”
“NO I don’t!” He replied as he took a step forward.
She walks away saying, “I am the closest person to you”. Her voice was hypnotic. Sky is following her without even realizing. “I am all you got!”
“How do you know my name?” he asks.
She turned back to face Sky and walked backwards saying, “I have been waiting for you from so long. Days went by…Weeks went by…Months went by… But you never came…!!
“Stop right there!”
“You could never hear my cry for help…” She was still walking backwards. Did you look for me or did you leave me to die?? You left me when I needed you the most and now you are hear…when everything is gone”
“Stop!!!” he repeated.
“But you never came... Where were you Sky? Where were you?” Her voice was getting louder. The insects also rose their squeaking.
“We waited for you …”
“Hello!”
“We had faith on you…”
“Don’t move!” he knew something bad was coming.
“..You let us all die. Why did you do this Sky? Why did you betray me?”
It was as if she couldn’t hear him anymore. She spoke all this moving backwards, facing him only to stop on the edge of the valley. He ran towards her.
“Help me Sky, you are the only one who can”. She says this and closes her eyes. Tears fall on her cheeks and she takes a step back falling off the mountain cliff.
Sky reaches there but all in vain.
“NOOOOOOOO…….” He screams as he watches her disappear in the valley mist and he wakes up from this nightmare. He is all sweating from his hot shirtless body. Rafe who just came here says, “The same old dream again?”
