Chapter 22: Nightmare?

I was in my sleep when I start to dream once again...

In my dream...

An old man, whose face was around 50 years old. He looks really nice as he smiles full of love and pampering at the little girl.

He had golden yellow eyes, golden-brown hair, a mustache, and a beard. He has a strong muscular built, that seems he was either a pro fighter, even though he is old, he still looks really handsome, as his hair tie-up. He is wearing a gray suit as he sits on the chair, allowing the little girl to sits on his lap.

"What do you want my princess?" he asks the little girl.

"Play." the little girl answers, she is wearing a beautiful red dress that has a black ribbon on her waist, red doll shoes, red gloves, and a red hat, which has a red ribbon. She obviously loves red.

"What kind of game then?" - asks the old man.

She looks at the girl. She is really beautiful, it was as if she came out of a fairytale book. A beautiful red lip, an aristocrat nose, a beautiful form of a face, with rosy cheeks that made you want to pinch out of her cuteness, a porcelain white skin, you can see how much they took care of her with such looks. She was like a carefully sculpted girl by any best artist could ever do, and like a beautiful princess, any man could wish for once she grows up, that even I won't mind pampering her. Although I can't see her eyes, I am sure she also had the most beautiful eyes.

She looks at the old man as she opens those beautiful lips. "Shoot to kill," she says as she smirks.

What?!

Shoot to kill?

Then suddenly a group of people being tied up by the rope was at the front of the girl and the I saw how those people eyes had fear on them as if looking toward the little girl like a monster.

As their rope untangle, without a second thought they run away in the forest as the little girl chuckles and play with the gun and sword in her hands.

"Which one should I use? hmm." She asks herself as she looks at the gun and sword. in the end, she chooses the gun and left the sword to the old man.

She looks at the running people inside the forest and a playful smile forms on her lips as she runs after them.

She jumps up on the tree as if she is used to it. It was as if she has superhuman strength even for a child to jump from one branch to another, as she chooses who her first prey.

And like a monster playing with her prey, she shoots their arm, legs, and ankle until she decided to totally kill them in a helpless state.

It was like a horror film, where the little girl is the monster, as she just kills them like she really is playing games.

She is so fast, strong, flexible, and a great gun-shooter.

The people who she been chasing also equipped with a gun, and whenever they shoot at her, she easily dodge them as if they don't exist then shoot back to the shooter, sometimes she will shoot the bullet as it diverts the trajectory of the bullet and then grins at the people who been running as their face turns pale, some even can't take it as they went stiff.

She then shoots them 3 times, 2 to the eyes, one to the heart as not caring for the shrilling shout of pain and agony, and like killing some kind of mob at the side.

As she looks at the little girl, she watches the bullet passing through her cheeks in slow motion.

Wait...

Slow-motion...

Isn't that the same as mine? But the girl doesn't look like me at all.

Then she looks in my direction.

Her eyes...

It's the exact reflection in my eyes...

W-Why is that?

What's going on?

I can't understand.

I heard once more how people shout in agony.

Not just that but also fear, pain, sadness.

It was a mix of negative emotions. My heartfelt being constricted as the liquid felt on my cheeks, I cried.

I was surprised when she suddenly appears in front of me.

I wanted to run away, but my feet feel like been stuck on the ground, where I stand.

My heart feels like put to a halt, my eyes are shouting for help.

This girl is a monster. I need to go away from her.

But all things stop when I heard the next word she says.

"Scared of yourself."

Then I saw myself wearing the same dress, shoes, gloves, and the gun in my hand, as it fills up will a lot of blood.

"You're not as innocent as you think you are. You're a murderer a killer."

NO!

NO! I'm not a killer

No! No! No!

But like a broken recorder, the words keep repeating in my ears and head.

You're a murderer a killer.

You're a murderer a killer.

You're a murderer a killer.

NOOOOO!

.

"-CESS. princess wake up"

I open my eyes and my face felt wet with tears and sweat.

I look at Rain beside me, as I hug him.

I can't help but wail like a child.

I feel so scared. I don't understand, but no words of refuting can be found in my voice rather a feeling of guilt is inside my heart.

"Hush now Princess, I'm here, I'm here" I felt his voice calming me down, passing through my heart.

After a few minutes, I calm down. He stands up and gets me a glass of water as he carefully looks at me, in his face was an obvious worry.

I look at the bed, my glasses are on it.

A sigh escapes from my lips.

"Are you okay now?" carefully asks Rain.

I nod my head.

I hear him sigh and says in a helpless voice. "I'll bring you home."

*

We are in his car, he keeps on glancing at me.

He sighs, then stops at the front of my home.

I look at Rain and mouthed 'thank you' as he opens the car door for me. At the front of the gate, I saw Rey with a surprising look on his face but ignore it, as I walk inside the house.

Looks like no one still at home yet, only butler Rey and the maid are here.

I go directly upstairs, up to my room.

I look at the bed and takes off my clothes after that I take a quick shower, as I can't help but feel weird.

After drying myself up, I let my back lay on the comfort of my bed, as I put my right arm on my face.

This day surely a weird, crazily tiring day.
