The Midnight Lover

Chapter 25: A nightmare

Selina's POV

We rushed out of that house. After we got to the door, we both stopped gasping, the people around us all looked at us with strange eyes. Bella pulled me by the hand and followed the old path to the parking lot. Her footsteps were fast and fast, making me have to go from walking to running to keep up. I know it's been a bit confusing, but does Bella need to act so scared?

But I still silently followed her without complaining at all. It wasn't until we got into the car that Bella let go of the hand that was gripping mine, then she breathed a sigh of relief. We sat in silence for a moment, each of us trying to regain our composure from the unusual incident. I suddenly remembered when the other glass ball broke, its fragments were scattered, I wonder if Bella was hurt anywhere?

I turned to look at Bella, who was reclining in the driver's seat, her pretty face covered in sweat. Today Bella wears a slim white t-shirt and a pair of ripped jeans. The arms and a few small areas of skin on the thighs are exposed. I saw some scratches on it that were bleeding, which made my face turn pale.

I hurriedly rummaged through my bag, remembering that after my injury the other day I left a pack of bandages in it. I had to help her dress her wounds to prevent them from getting infected.

"You're hurt! Sit still and I'll put a bandage on."

Bella opened her eyes, she looked at the scratch on her arm, then nodded at me. I put bandages on the injured areas, after confirming that there were no other injuries, I breathed a sigh of relief. I don't know why we are so unlucky these days, just yesterday I was injured, but today it's Bella's turn.

"So are you hurt anywhere? You were sitting closer to that crystal ball than I was."

Bella said and checked me from head to toe. I laugh.

"No, I don't feel any pain, if I got hurt, I would already feel pain!"

Bella nodded in agreement, but she still checked the parts of me that weren't protected by my clothes. I was pretty sure I wasn't hurt, until Bella suddenly pointed at my heel.

"Selina, look at this!"

I saw Bella's eyes widen, her fingers trembling slightly. I quickly lowered my head to look down at the spot where her finger was pointing. It turned out that there was a small cut on my heel. It must have been because while running away I carelessly stepped on a piece of glass.

"It's just a small wound, it's fine, I'll put a bandage on it."

But Bella was still acting very strange, she shook her head and told me.

"No! You have to look! Look closely! Looks like your wound is healing on its own!"

"What???"

I exclaimed in panic. There was definitely confusion and panic on my face. I lifted my injured leg, leaving the heel in the sunlight for easy viewing. The cut on the leg I saw earlier was about three centimeters in length, but now it seems to be shrinking in length, the wound's mouth scabs at a dizzying speed, and then it shrinks little by little. reduce the area. Maybe within half a minute, I'm not sure, but the bite on my heel healed and then disappeared without a trace.

I covered my mouth with my hand, really couldn't believe what I just saw before my eyes. I shakily brought my finger closer to the injured spot just now, then gently placed my hand on it. The soft feeling of skin reaches my fingertips, there is no pain, no raised scars, a flawless shiny skin.

"Bella...What...What just happened?"

My voice was about to break. I feel extremely scared. After all, what happened to me?

Bella was certainly as amazed as I was. She grabbed my shaking hand, trying to regain her composure to comfort me.

"Selina, calm down, we need to calm down. Let's breathe. One, two, three... Take a deep breath, then exhale a long breath."

Together we do this move to the rhythm. After about three deep breaths, I was finally able to calm my frantic beating heart.

"It's true...Not a dream. My wound actually healed within a minute. What the hell is going on with my body?"

Bella opened the small drawer in the car, inside was a bunch of her miscellaneous things. Bella found some Dynamite mints, she peeled them off and popped them in her mouth, then handed one to me. I also put the candy in my mouth, the cool mint taste calms me down a bit. I rested my head on the seat, unable to hold back a sigh.

We kept quiet like that until the candy in our mouth melted. Bella started the car, she told me.

"Go home and we'll talk more."

I nodded in agreement. I'm so tired of what happened today. From the tests and examinations in the hospital, to the shock in the old house, to the fact that I saw my wounds heal in an instant. All of them drained my energy. I feel very tired, and sleepy too. Bella turned to look at me and advised.

"You go to sleep, when I get to your house, I'll wake you up."

I gave a weak nod, then slowly closed my eyes. I fell asleep almost immediately.

However, even when I fell asleep, I still couldn't have a proper rest. I dreamed a nightmare. Many strange but terrible images flashed before my eyes. I dreamed that a dark figure in human form was chasing me from behind. I was busy running and running, my legs ached and tired, I tried my best but still couldn't get rid of that black shadow.

As I ran, I kept turning my head to determine the distance between me and that shadow. Then I suddenly saw from that shadow many long, long arms, which stretched out and directed towards me. I feel extremely scared. I gritted my teeth and kept running, until those black arms touched me, they wrapped tightly around my limbs. I was swallowed up in darkness.

"Aaaaa..."

I exclaimed in panic. There was definitely confusion and panic on my face. I lifted my injured leg, leaving the heel in the sunlight for easy viewing.
