Nightmare

CHAPTER 10

Gnosis and Logos were out on their hunt for wild fledglings. It took them about five hours to complete one district. But it took them longer to complete the Peninsula District. "Peninsula District"? *Giggles* It reminds me of the game "Neverwinter Knights" I loved playing!! My laughter shook the entire hall that even Agape hid under the table. I giggled once more before calling out to my loyal familiar, ensuring her that there was nothing to be afraid of. I scratched her left ear as a sign of my apology. She purred to the scratching that made my eyes feel so sleepy. I gestured to Agape to move nearer to my bed before settling down beside her, snuggling into her fur and thus, fell deep into sleep.

It was dark, gloomy with clouds that looked like rain clouds. I was afraid, so very afraid. Mother and Father were fast asleep in their room. The thunder and lighting made me shiver with fear. I wrapped myself like a cacoon with my blanky... I was so scared. There was a hand knocking on my window. I wanted to scream for mom and dad, but I wanted to show them that I was a big girl. Able to take care of myself. Suddenly the window opened. A man came in from that window. I quickly rolled to the other side of my bed and hid under the bed for safety. I wanted to warn mommy and daddy, but I was too late. By the time I reached them, their bed were all soaked in blood.

"Menolly! GET OUT OF HERE! RUN AWAY! GO!"

dad was shouting at me to run away, but where to? Suddenly, mom came running to me, holding her in her arms.
"Mommy? Mommy are you ok?"

"Menolly, dear, I want you to know that mommy and daddy loves you very much. I want you to think of grandma now my child."

I wanted to question her why. But my instincts told me to heed her orders. I thought of grandma, her house in the middle of the crops filled with corns. I thought of her and only her, when a sudden light blinded me. Within minutes, I was beside grandma.

"Menolly! IS THAT YOU CHILD?! Oh dear heavens, how did you get here?! Wait, Why are you here my child?" Only then did she realize that my clothes were soaking in blood. I wanted to cry but instead , "Help mommy and daddy. A scary man is hurting them. Please Grandmama, help my mother and father!"

And with that, I burst into tears.

By the time they arrived back, everyone had a sad expression. Grandmother was crying. why was she crying? I thought. I wanted to ask about my parents. However, grandfather came and patted my head and hugged me. He smiled at me with a sad and hurt look. Then I knew what had befallen upon them. At their funeral, I didn't shed a single tear. No matter how hard I tried, no matter how much I told myself I love them, I didn't cry. I wanted to cry badly. So that I can forget about this incident as quickly as possible. But it was useless. Their death has left me in despair... Full of guilt...

I felt my cheeks wet and awoke from my nightmare. I found Agape staring at me with a worried expression Are you alright Master? I nodded my head, ensuring Agape that I was alright. "I just had a nightmare Agape. A tragical nightmare. One I do not wish to relive or to experience again. She nodded her head and purred against my cheek, ensuring me that she will always be by my side if I ever experience any nightmare again. How I love Agape. I snuggled back into her fur, curling myself into a ball and went back to sleep. Hoping that nothing will occur in my sleep.
