The nightmare
Knock.. Knock..
Kim Lily opened her eyes and found herself in a strange place. She got up from the bed with the sound of continuous knocking on the door. She moved towards it and hesitantly opened it to see several muscular men clad in royal guards armer were standing outside in two definite lines. She couldn't recognize their faces as it was too dark. She was confused by the scene represented in-front of her.
"How can I help you?" asked Lily uneasily to the people standing in front of her.
Her question was met with silence.
They just stood there like rocks, staring in abyss.
Lily had a gut feeling that something was very wrong with the scene. She was nervous.
Just then, a woman came from behind them, she couldn't see her face either because of the dark.
"Take her" commanded the female with authority in her voice.
Two armed men immediately grabbed Lily and started pulling her towards the female.
"What? Why? Who are you?" Lily asked in a panicked voice.
Just like before no one answered.
"What do you want?" she asked in fear looking at the direction of the commanding female.
No reply again.
"Leave ME!!!!" She screamed in frustration but yet again, no one answered.
The woman was moving in the front and the rest were following like pawns.
They took her in to the forest. Lily could see slightly better as her vision was getting adjusted in the dark. But the dark forest with the thick shade of canopy was making the situation worse again.
"What do you want?" Lily screamed again in frustration.
Finally, the women stopped which made everyone else stop as well. She slowly turns towards Lily and gave a reply which made Lily shiver in fear.
"Your life" the women whispered evilly with a faint smile on her lips.
"Why? What did I do?" Lily asked in agitation. The woman walked in determined steps towards Lily.
"You stole something from me" said the woman clenching Lily's jaw in her hand.
"No, I didn't!!!" she said turning her face with a force which made her mouth free from her grip and screamed in panic.
"Help!!! Somebody help!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!" Lily started screaming begging for her life.
"Yes, you did and now you're going to pay for it. Scream all you want but no one is coming to help you here" said the female laughing without a humour in her voice.
"Leave her" came a strong voice from the dark of the forest.
Kim Lily turned to see the source of the call but it was still too dark and she can only see movement of shadows. Now, she had hope in her heart.
"What are you doing here?" asked the she devil in an angry tone.
He started fighting the guards without answering to the angry soul. He was too powerful for the guards is what Kim Lily can predict in the dark when guards started falling on the floor one by one.
The skilled fighter and her saviour was stopped for a moment by the sword of another guy.
"What do you think you are doing?" asked the guy in confusion who was trying to save Lily's life.
"Stopping you, brother" answered the other guy with a smirk on his face.
They started fighting now with all the intensity they could muster. The saviour was winning the fight again giving Lily some hope of survival.
The woman was watching the fight with interest and could also see the said saviour winning the fight. She knew she had to meddle and she knew just how to render the man helpless.
She unleashed her sword and put it on Lily's neck and shouted,
"Stop!!! Or else I will kill her" she said with a crazy look in her eyes.
"Nooo!! stop!!" said the first guy in panic.
"Drop your sword or else..." She slashed the sword to Lily's neck which made a cut and blood started flowing out from her delicate throat.
"Ahhh" screamed Lily in anguish.
"Stop it already!! You are hurting her" said the second guy also panicking now with the crazy turn of events.
"Okay, I'm dropping it, keep the sword away from her neck. Please!" said the first guy as dropped his sword on the ground.
Guards grabbed the first guy and his sword immediately.
"He dropped it. Now, put away your sword" said the second fighter anxiously.
"You too. Drop your sword" said the female smirking while pointing towards second guy's sword.
"What?" he asked in shock.
She started digging the sword more into her neck. Tears started flowing down Lily's cheeks.
"Okay, okay, I'm dropping it. Don't hurt her. Keep it away from her" said the second guy dropping his sword as well.
"You can't do it. We had a deal. It is not part of the plan. You promised that she won't get hurt" The second guy said in disbelief. The betrayal was hitting him hard.
"I lied, obviously. Say goodbye to your precious ___" She said something else but Lily couldn't hear anything further as she suddenly felt immense pain in her chest. The enraged girl turned lily towards her and passed the sword swiftly through her chest.
She felt the cold blade passing through her body. The pain was insane. Everything became pitch black for her. She couldn't breath as it hurts so much to do so.
"Noooo!!!!" Lily heard a scream before everything went black.
"Aaaaaaa" Lily screamed from the top of her lungs because of the pain in her chest.
"Lily.. Lilyy.. Lily.. Wake up..!!!"
