music

Se awoke in a dark room. It was so black inside
that she couldn't find a source of light anywhere.
A chuckle echos through the room and she searches
frantically looking for the source of the sound.
She crawled backwards, her back met the wall behind
her and she sits waiting eyes searching the blackness
frantically.


"Hello, the voice said smoothly, I'm back"
she swallowed and took a deep breathe and didn't say
anything in reply. She heard his footfalls coming across
the empty room before stopping in front of her.
A small light appeared in the room and she looked up and
saw his face.
He smiled evilly and slowly images began to appear on the
walls around her. Imaginations, fantasies her dreams she'd
rather forget.

"So, he said gleefully, here we are again. It's been awhile
I rather missed you! We have so much catching up to do."
She stared at the images for a moment one appeared making her
jump she closed her eyes and turned away.
"It's just a dream" she whispered. He laughed, "but it feels so
real doesn't it?"

She sighed and got to her feet avoiding his eyes.
She kept her eyes cast on the floor and hoped to awake soon, but
the images began to run along the floor to.
He sat down and laughed at her. "Do you really think you'll be
able to fight this? They aren't going anywhere, they will continue
until you just cannot stand it and they will continue all the more"


She placed her hands on her forehead attempting to block the images
coming into her head. She couldn't do this not again, it was just
to hard. Suddenly she heard something, something distant and far off
but something that didn't fit. Music, a song something that didn't
match these images. He chuckled, "Just ignore it, its nothing" but
she strained even harder to hear it. The harder she tried the louder
the song became. He came to his feet, "Stop it!, he cried, nothing can
change this!" She shook her head refusing to believe those words.

The song sounded through the dream coming to her very core disrupting
the images and motions. Enraged he flew at her, wrapping his hands around
her neck he seethed. "You can't get rid of me, I won't leave no matter
how hard to try" he let go and threw her to the ground.
She crawled to her knees, "I know, she whispered, but this time I'm not
alone"

The song grew louder, the images didn't stop. But the song remained.
She woke up, shaking but the song played on, reminding her it was
all okay.
