Nightmare

I took the bath and came out in my bathrobe as I usually did. I didn't have any energy left to change my clothes and I was exhausted mentally so I decided to lock my room and go to sleep and that is what I did without bothering to find out what James was doing. 

I switched off my bedside light but before I could actually go to sleep James knocked my door. I didn't answer at first pretending to sleep so that he would go away but he knocked again saying "Bel, where am I gonna sleep."

My heart raced when he called me 'Bel',  it sounded so sweet from his lips but I could not accept that so I calmed myself down before replying in an uninterested tone "You barged in here so find your own place."

He said "Okay" but before he left I had to tell him to never call me 'Bel' again, I could not stand the feeling it send to my heart when he said that. Although I was not ready to accept then but the truth was that the gates that I had closed shut tightly preventing anyone to enter were slowly being opened despite the resistance on the other end, he made me feel the things I had never felt but I was not ready for this, I had important things to do so I before he could leave I said "And never call me 'Bel' again, we are not that close."

I knew he would never listen to me and I was right because his next words were "Good night, Bel" as if I had not said anything.

I made a grunting sound and he left while I tossed around for a while before falling asleep. 

I at least wished to have a peaceful sleep but it felt impossible with the dream I was captured into, it was all dark and I could not see anything but I felt a heavy weight on top of me. Someone was lying on top of me and then my back felt totally numb and cold, I didn't know where I was lying but it was too cold and unbearable. I tried to move to free myself but it felt impossible as the person on top of me pushed me down and began to bite my neck. 

I didn't expect that to happen so a scream escaped my throat, I tried to push him away but he was too strong so I tried reasoning with words hoping it to work "Who are you and what do you want?"

A cold laugh erupted as he pulled his head out of my neck and looked at me in the darkness, I didn't have to look at the person to know who he was anymore as his words were enough for me to know, it was the devil I has to kill "I am your husband darling."

I gritted my teeth as his words felt disgusting to my ears "No, you are not."

As I said those words, the fire in the fireplace near us lit up and I could finally see where I was, it was his room. I could never get the picture of this room out of my head as this was the room, I was once captured in for a long time. It felt suffocating as it always had felt and I realized I was lying on a huge block of ice. He began to laugh loudly at my words and then he snapped his fingers to send a jolt of pain down my back, I screamed which he enjoyed. He then said "Don't make me angry or the consequences will be harsh."

The pain in my back increased and I tried to lift my body up in order to reduce it but he was reluctant to let go. He pushed me down, increasing the pain until tears streamed down my eyes. The dream felt to real as the pain was actually being felt by my body. His every touch was evident and being felt on my body. I tried to get up but it felt impossible and I just could not move or even open my eyes, all I could do was go with the dream which meant I was just screaming loudly. 

He placed his lips on mine and harshly began to bite and suck my lower lip. As his lips covered mine I could not scream because of the pain but my efforts to do that were depriving me of oxygen, I struggled hard to get out of his grip but it was too strong. He then trust his tongue down my throat which made breathing impossible for me.

When he let go I gasped for air but he didn't care about that he moved down sucking and biting the other side of my neck and then he made his way down to my breasts, sucking them in leaving marks. Next he dug his fangs into them sucking out blood, I continued screaming which only kept getting louder and louder and he seemed to be enjoying it. 

Tears streamed down my eyes, I felt like he was going to suck me dry, I could not breathe anymore and gasped for air as it seemed to have reduced around me. The last strings of my strength were breaking down when a warm pair of arms wrapped around me. 

Those arms were finally able to pull me out of my dream and I sat up gasping for the much required air, I felt like I had been deprived of it for so long. James had wrapped his arms around me and then he offered me water which I gulped down in one go.

After a some time I returned back to normal but felt a stinging pain in my chest to see bite marks on it. I was terrified on how something in the dream could be visible on my skin and this made me realize that my bathrobe was completely messed up and my skin was visible. Looking at that I remembered I had locked the door so I looked at it wondering if he broke it to come in and see why I was screaming but to my surprise the door was completely intact. 

I looked at him shocked "How did you enter my room?"
