I have been walking for several hours. I couldn't remember where I was coming from, I had no idea where I was heading to either. I came across a girl sitting on the streets, head bent. She was sobbing loudly and deeply, I heard her heart struggle for air. I approached her.
"Hello, what is wrong?"
She ignored me and kept on crying.
"You shouldn't cry so deeply, it's not good for your health."
She finally lifted her head and said;
"You should mind your business."
She was stunningly beautiful, despite the tears, her dimples could still be clearly seen. Her hair was golden as the sun.
"It isn't safe for you to sit here all alone. Let me walk you home at least."
She stood up and wiped her tears
"Fine, I'll let you walk me home. Just because you asked nicely"
It was quite a long walk. I tried to start a conversation several times, but she would rather walk in silence. We left the major roads and diverted into a deserted walk way.
"Are you sure this is the way to your house? I doubt if anybody lives around here."
She looked back at me and smiled without saying a word.
We got into what seemed like a grave yard, but this was different from what I have ever seen before.
"Where are we?"
I asked
"This is the dwelling place of the fallen druids from the battle of the three worlds"
I had no idea what she was talking about.
"I need your help."
She started crying all over again.
"What is it this time."
She pointed at this spot in the yard.
"After my death I was caged by emissaries of the witch convent. They have denied me passage into the afterlife. They have left me to roam the world endlessly. I need your help to escape."
I was becoming scared and uncomfortable.
"Sorry, I don't think I can help you. I need to get going."
"You must finish what you started"
She said with A frown.
I tried to run, I slipped and fell. She grabbed me by my leg and dragged me towards the cage.
I screamed as loud as I could.
"Kris why are you screaming?!"
I opened my eyes to see my kid sister pulling my legs
"Oh crap! I just had a scary dream."
"You better get off your ass and go fetch some firewood for mom"
I got up, washed my face, left the house and headed for the woods.
"If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Oh-oh, oh-oh"
I hummed to my favorite music as I picked firewood. Suddenly I heard movements in the bush.
"Who's there?"
I looked around, everything was still and peaceful. I went back to my task. Few minutes later, I started hearing whispers and weeping.
"You have to help me
They are tormenting me here.
Save me. Help me escape"
I looked back and saw a Blindfolded lady in white coming towards me. I dropped the woods in my hands and ran as fast as I could without looking back.
As I ran I still heard whispers. It seemed like I was running in circles, I decided to run in a different direction. While running,I stumbled on a stone and fell, hitting my head hard on the floor. I could feel blood drip from my forehead. I looked up and I was shocked by what I saw.
"No Way!
It can't be!!
How is this possible?!
This is the exact graveyard from my dream."
