Hellfire, omnipotent and fierce, was all she could see.
Even though her life slowly crumbled into the ground all around her, she stood still clutching her rag doll in the form of a dragon, hypnotized by the beauty of the amber flames. She felt like they talked to her. "Closer......closer, " they said. Unwillingly, her fragile, ivory feet started to move one in front of the other, her eyes wide open, looking up, hugging her little dragon.She gave little steps with her trembling legs forward, as the wood creaked and pieces of stone fell around her. Shes topped. She blinked for the first time.
She couldn’t believe her eyes.
The ambers twirled with each other and the different shades of red came together to form the shape of a woman's upper body. Her feline eyes looked at her with kindness and compassion. Quietly, she began singing a beautiful song. The little girl found herself humming along, even tho she never remember learning the song. She sway forward, in trance. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The warmth of fire brought her memories of her parents, holding her hands as she leaps forward, laughing merrily. She knew that's where she belonged.
A blood curdling shriek pierced her ears and she was brought back to her senses. She prayed to gods she couldn't understand to make it go away. But as much as she tried, it just would not go away. She screamed. She cried. She felt a hand wrap around her, trying to shield her for what was to come.
A dark aura crashed into the window right behind them, landed on the floor leaving a crate and started to take form. She was harshly pushed behind the lady, who stood fearless. Through teary eyes she tried to see him, but it was all blurry. He said something she couldn’t understand. He chuckled at the lady's answer. She couldn't help but notice his voice reminded her of when she ran her nail over a chalkboard. He laughed and laughed till nothing else existed but his laughter. By the time she knew what was happening, she was already on the floor and the man bashed forward and they both sprang into the air.
Red light and purple darkness swirled with each other in a desperate fight to overcome their opponent. As much as light tried to conquer, darkness inevitably crawled into her core and spread all around her being. The now infected light shrilled in pain. The little girl rushed to see if she could help it, but it was too late. She felt the ground shake under the toes. She slipped backwards, but she never touched the ground. She kept falling into a bottomless abyss leaving the light behind her. Frantically her little hands tried to reach for the light, but she missed. In the darkness she saw two eyes the color of the moon, crackling at her, and then all turned to a darkness so dense that when she screamed nothing would come out, and panic started to overcome her little body and she could not breathe....
And that’s when she wakes up. Every time without fail.
