Chapter 867: Chapter 52- Talia – Dreams Part 3 (VOLUME 5)

~~

Talia

~~

The man started to collect her blood then. He turned her over and let it pour into a bucket of sorts. From there, he started to mix the blood with something that was in a flask. He pulled the metal container from his pocket and made the blood glow.

Once the glowing was dimmed but still there, the man used a long wooden pen to write the words into the sand. He had poured the blood mixture into the top of the pen, and it was actually acting as if it were ink for the pen. The words, which I had read before, appeared to glow for a moment and then faded almost instantly.

“That will do it.” The man said as he walked back to where the girl was laying on the beach. “The message has been left.” He was sounding like some strange mixture of excited and angry. I guess there really wasn’t that much of a difference between emotions when they were running wild. “Oh look, that bitch that you were waiting for is here.” With that, there was a small whimper from Andrea. She was still alive, and there was nothing that I could do. “Oh, yes. She is here. Let me do something that I don’t usually do. Then again, picking someone off of the street isn’t what I usually do either. We all like to be a little more careful than that.” He was laughing but it was giving me goosebumps. I did not like the sound of that man’s laughter at all.

As I watched, the man started to rip open the rest of Andrea’s dress. I saw that the girl was not wearing a bra at all, but she did have on a pair of soft pink panties. The man seemed to be appalled by the choice of underwear the girl had made. He grabbed them with a scoff and ripped them off of her.

.....

“Ngh!” She cried out in pain from the force of the clothes being pulled away.

“This is dirty, but I can use a cleansing rune.” His voice was coming out with more of that disturbing laughter. “You can think of it as a mercy that I am giving you. This is definitely something that I would never do for just anyone.”

Before I could process what was happening, the man was on top of her. He was taking advantage of her now. I had thought that this was going to happen earlier, but he had cut her. And I thought that the cutting was bad. This though, knowing that she was being so thoroughly brutalized by this man, I couldn’t handle it.

I wanted to stop him, but I couldn’t. I could not move. I was not able to interact with what was happening at all, it was like I was the camera that was filming this horror movie in front of me. I couldn’t make them hear me or see me. I couldn’t do anything at all. N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

I watched as the man slammed in and out of her. She didn’t say anything. She didn’t cry out in pain or anything. But she did cry. The rivers of tears were still flowing down her cheeks and didn’t look like she was going to stop anytime soon.

‘ANDREA!’ I screamed her name inside my head. It was all that I could do. I wanted to stop this. I wanted to help her. And I wanted to wake up and make this nightmare end. ‘ANDREA!’

After the man seemed to be satisfied, I watched as he pulled away from her. I never even saw anything from his body, just hers when he was not laying on top of her. And on that body there were bruises. Marks from his fingers and hands. Bruises on her legs from his legs and his hands. I didn’t know how those bruises got there, or why they were already so prominent, but they were. And I knew that she had to have suffered that entire time.

‘ANDREA!’ I called out for her in my head again. ‘ANDREA!’ It wasn’t helping. And it wasn’t stopping the man.

“I am going to finish this now.” The man’s voice finally struck me. This was the first time that he let himself slide. There was now something remarkable about it. There was an accent in it. Only I didn’t know where it was from. I couldn’t place it. “Goodbye, monster girl. You were a decent fuck. Too bad you belonged to the wrong team.”

As I watched, the man punched straight through her chest. I would have thought that he would have cut her open to get the heart out like the other killers had. Or I thought that they had. But no. I was wrong. This man punched into her chest and moments later pulled out her heart.

The dream started to fade after that. And it was all moving quickly. The man rinsed his hands and the heart in the water before running away from the body. He didn’t put much effort into the kill as the others seemed to have done, but he had done all the same things, and more.

The moment that the man ran away though, I heard a woman screaming in the distance.

“ANDREA!” For a moment, I thought that it was me. “ANDREA!” I never saw the woman, but Andrea’s date, Ashlynn, had found her. “ANDREA!” She was screaming and sobbing when she found her. I knew that she had to have been devastated when she found the girl laying in the sand.

By that point, it was like I was floating away into the sky while things faded away. I couldn’t see what was going on anymore.

“ANDREA!” I could still hear Ashlynn crying out for her. “ANDREA!”

“Talia!” I heard Lex’s voice calling out to me. “Talia!”

When I snapped my eyes open, I saw that Lex was standing right over me. He was looking at me with fear and worry in face.

“Talia, what is wrong? What happened? Why are you shouting?” Lex was confusing me.

“Huh? I wasn’t shouting. I was.. I was..” That’s when it hit me. The dream. I had been shouting in my sleep because of the dream. I had actually been asleep that whole time. I knew that. I kept telling myself that while I was in the dream, but I had let it slip my mind again.

“Talia, what is wrong?”

The dream flooded into my mind all over again. All of it. Everything that I saw from start to finish replayed itself in my mind. This time around, it was much worse than the first time. And I was ten times as scared now as I was then. However, Lex’s gentle voice and genuine concern for me made me finally realize that I was safe and that what I saw wasn’t going to come back for me. That man in the robes was not going to hurt me.

“L..Lex. It was horrible.” I clung to him in desperation. He was sitting on the edge of my bed as he tried to settle me down, so I took advantage of that. I crawled into his lap and curled myself up into a ball. I felt like a little girl when he held me like that and it made me feel safe and protected.

“What happened, Talia? What is wrong?”

“I had this dream, though I don’t know if it was a dream or not. It felt so real. B..but he killed her. He killed her and he raped her. Lex, I saw it all happening in front of me and I couldn’t help her.” I wanted to sob into his shirt, but the tears weren’t coming. I wanted to cry and get the emotions out of me, but there was nothing to expel from me. Perhaps this was just another step in me becoming the goddess of the underworld.

“It is OK, Talia. You are safe now. I promise.” Lex was rubbing soothing circles into my back as he held me. “I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

“I know, Lex.” I sighed into his chest. “Thank you.”

I tried to go to sleep again, but I couldn’t. I was too worried about that girl. I was so scared that she was going to be reported to us the next day and that we would be heading to her crime scene soon. Well, I guess I would find out what state she was in soon enough.

Since I couldn’t sleep the rest of that night, I had to pretend when it was time for Telyn to wake me the next morning. My parents weren’t back yet, but it was time for me to eat my breakfast. I would do as I was asked and told to do. I wanted to make sure that no one gave a bad report of me before I had a chance to talk to my parents.

I had decided that if there was a report of the girl, Andrea, going missing and being killed, then I would tell my parents about the dream. If not, then I would keep it a secret. For all I knew, it was just the details of the case coming back to me in a nightmare. It might not mean anything at all. And it could mean everything.

However, once my parents were back to the Alpha’s house, there had been no mention of the girl or anyone else having been attacked last night. That was a relief. I would be able to rest in peace and know that it was just stress and other things getting to me. There was no murdered girl. I didn’t need to worry at all.
