Nightmare

CHAPTER 16

I could feel the pain all over my face because of what he was doing. If he treats me, I was like an animal. He seemed crazy because I could see in every expression on his face that he enjoyed what he was doing. So this is really your true colors, jerk.

While he's enjoying what he does, I also continue to untie my hands. I feel like it's about to be removed because its strap has loosened a bit. I kept sobbing because of the extreme pain of his cut on my skin.

My whole body stiffened with anger and annoyance. I'll make sure you'll pay for this Raze. Wait for it.

"What's up Zayn?" he asked then stopped what he was doing. That sarcastic smile was still on his lips. "Why are you just letting me do this to you? Have you accepted your end?" he added.

"I just gave you a moment," I said as I stared at him. I was energized because I knew, this time I had removed the rope from my hands behind my back. But I pretended to be still tied up, I would just find time to retaliate. "That's all you can do, you've got a lot." I added.

"Why do you keep on acting like you still have a fight ? Well, let's just see if --- aarrghhh !!!!"

He couldn't continue what he was going to say when I suddenly kicked him in the stomach. You're just so stupid and you didn't tie my legs Raze.

After I kicked him in the stomach, I stood up and loaded the chair I was sitting on earlier then threw it at him. He was hit in the face, causing him to sink to the floor.

"I told you, that's all you can do." I told him loudly then hurriedly ran out of that room.

Fortunately, all the lights were on, not like before. I was in a hurry to run to the elevator so that I could get off the hotel but I was shocked to see people coming in the direction I was standing.

I slowly backed away as I watched them approach me. As usual, their faces were still blurred except for Raze. Whatever the reason for that, I don't know.

I hurried to the stairs to go down. I was struck lightly by the railings of the stairs when I saw that others were also approaching where I was. They are like soldiers marching because of their simultaneous actions.

I hurriedly turned around and went up the stairs. I found it difficult to move one of my legs because my wound continued to ache here. But I took courage and moved on. You can do this, Zayn. Everyone's life depends on you.

I knew I had nowhere else to go but to the rooftop. As soon as I opened the rooftop door, the figure of Raze standing not far from me appeared to me as if he was waiting for me to arrive. Damn he's too fast.

I saw his slow action and rushed at me, but even though his action was slow, it seemed like it was too fast and he got close to me right away so I couldn't move right away. I couldn't dodge when he was right to stab me later, instead of me running away and avoiding the knife I'm just so fool and I caught the knife he was holding as a reason to cut my hand holding the knife now.

My vision seemed blurred when I saw so much blood flowing from my hand. My knees are weak and shaking, I feel like I will fall any minute from now. But despite the soldering I was feeling I chose to be steady.

I know Raze is stronger than me because he is a man but I try to match his strength. As he continued to push the knife towards me I also continued to hold it along with the continuous dripping of blood from my severed hand.

At this time, I feel the trend of time slowing down. It was as if there was slow motion around me. I slowly moved one of my hands to hold Raze's hand. I need to lucid dream.

When I put my hands on his hand I then met his gaze. I had to control what could happen at this time, but a few minutes ago still nothing happened. My forehead furrowed. I do not understand.

Nothing had changed around, the only change I could see was the gradual darkening of his glaring eyes. He's now changing, literally.

"So what now Zayn? Aren't you able to control your surroundings?" It's a sarcastic question. Is this what he meant before? He knew I could no longer have lucid dreams. But I do not understand.

For the nth time around, lucid dreaming didn't work again.

And this is what I do not understand. Confusing, I thought I could only lucid dream when I was with him, when I held his hand. But this time, it didn't work.

I'm confused.

It was as if time had returned to normal when I felt Raze's slight push of the knife towards me which caused me to be alarmed and I quickly stopped it. I'm fainting and I feel like I'm going to run out of blood because of the excessive amount of blood dripping from my hand.

"Can you still fight Zayn?" he asked me with a sarcastic smile on his face. His innocent look now seems to have completely disappeared, he looks different. I can already see the black veins that cover the skin of his face and neck. Literally a demon.

"Are you satisfied yet?" I asked to him weakly as I met his deep stare. "You're such an ugly creature Raze." I insisted at the same time as I banged my head on his head as a reason for him to let go of me.

I looked at my hand when I noticed that the knife was still buried there. My hands trembled holding it and slowly pulled it out. It was literally disgusting when I saw a lot of blood flowing from it.

I could feel the trembling of my whole body. I looked up when I noticed Raze approaching me and was about to strangle me but I preceded him and stabbed him so just because of the trembling of my body I just touched his arm with the knife I was holding.

A few moments later I heard footsteps approaching where we were, I was sure it was coming from outside the rooftop. So I hurriedly ran away from Raze and looked for a hiding place.

I felt numbness all over my body because of the excessive amount of blood I lost. But I chose to settle down. This is not the right time to be weak, I need to wake up.

I stopped running and looked for a place to hide, not far from me I saw three large drums of garbage so I quickly approached there and squeezed myself in the middle of it.

I chased my breath as I leaned my head on the drum. Along with the extreme weakness of my whole body, was the constant flow of blood from my hands. I slowly moved one hand to tear a part of my clothes to use as a bandage on my wound.

As I was doing that, little by little I could also hear footsteps on the back of the drum I was hiding.

"Find her," I heard Raze said to his companions. "I'm sure she hasn't gone far here yet, search all around." he demanded.

As I continued to bind my wound, I could hear the footsteps were getting closer and closer to where I was hiding. If they were just vampires, I’m sure they’d have seen me a long time ago because of the blood spilled now to where I am.

I covered my mouth after I tied my wound to my hand because I felt like the relief I was doing was too heavy. I removed one hand that covered my mouth when I noticed that a sharp object had touched my foot. I slowly digged into it and I was shocked to realize that it was an ax.

I quickly took it then tightened my grip on it. This is the right time to fight, I need to get out of it. I'm running out of time, I need to get home.
