Five hours later
I don't know how long I've been there, I lost track of time during the first hour but it felt like I've been here for days now. I tried everything I could, I tried to join those words together but it made no sense, at least in human ears.
I drank my last drop of water and with a deep sigh I closed my eyes letting the darkness to take over me, I had no intention to sleep but I couldn't stop it.
I closed my eyes for like a minute or so before reopening them but I saw myself in a different place entirely.
The view was beautiful. There was a small river with a tiny bridge leading to a small hill while the rays of sun was kissing the ground.
I saw a beautiful lady she smiled at me and called me over, motioning with her hands.
I walked up to her and she gave me the biggest smile I've seen before. I smiled back at her slightly taken aback by her beauty.
Lazarus you are finally here, she says as her voice echoed throughout the stream.
Please Miss do you know me? I asked her still feel in daze of what just happened.
Lazarus my love, you look handsome as ever, I can't believe you don't remember me but worry not, in due time you will finally remember.
remember
remember
remember
It echoed over and over again a piece of a memory flash in my head.
It was a cold night and a beautiful girl was standing in the field. it was a beautiful sight to behold, she was smiling so bright that I couldn't help but to reciprocate her actions. She motioned for me to come closer and I did she held my hands and kissed them.
She took a bracelet out of her pouch and wore it on my hands. This will protect you my dear. Whenever you're in danger it will keep you safe and you will remember that my love for you is everlasting.
Like I was in a form of trance or something similar. What just happened? I asked the lady and she smiled. The way she smiled made me remember that girl I just saw and surprisingly they looked exactly the same except there eyes and hair where different.
The girl in my memory had a long and dark hair, her eyes where full of love and passion directly contrast to the other. The lady standing before me has silver hair, her eyes where beautiful but it held hatred and pain. I stared at her as she held my face in place I tried to move but I couldn't.
It's like an unknown force was keeping me in place. She caressed my face.
Where am I? I asked her, what do you want with me? Before I knew it she held my neck tightly choking me. I was thrown to the ground while she walked slowly towards me I tried to move but I was paralyzed one that spot.
Lazarus my dear, she caressed my face and moved closer to my ears and said I just want to play.
She held my hands and the exact bracelet I saw in that piece of memory appeared on my hands and she used her fingers to cut it while the beads on it scattered on the ground and turned into ashes.
She held my wrist with force and started chanting something in an unknown language then she let go of my wrist and I saw some kind of mark on it. Follow the light and you shall find me she says giving me a light kiss on the lips and with that I woke up.
Shocked beyond my imagination I checked my wrist, nothing was there and I sighed in relief. I looked up and saw that the pile of rock blocking me where no longer there.
On a normal base if I saw something like this I would be frightened beyond belief but now I didn't know what kind of force that was compelling me to move and I did.
I walked past the tunnel using the map and before I knew it I saw some kind of light shinning brightly and I walked towards it discarding the map in my bag, I saw a small door leading to where the light was coming from.
My whole being was telling me to run but I couldn't. I wanted to run for my life but something was stopping me from doing so, I cautiously opened the door and it made a small squeaking sound. I saw a pile of ruins, everything was destroyed, I walked closer and I heard someone sobbing continuously and I followed the sound.
I walked towards the noise and saw a young girl around the age of 17 or 18, she was stabbed in the heart she kept saying something in Greek but I couldn't comprehend her words, my mind was clouded with questions of its own.
Her body had various kind of marks and her white dress was tainted with her own blood, I tried to move her but she shakes her head indicating I shouldn't.
What happened to you I said in Greek.
Remove the knife she whispers.
I can't do that you will die. Am already dead, please sir relieve me of my pain, she held me hands with her bloody hands.
I had a nagging feeling in me telling me to run but I couldn't leave a helpless girl to die.
I stood there in daze thinking, calculating but her words kept on invading my mind.
Please sir
Please sir
Please sir
She says repeatedly. I dropped all my belongings, place my two hands on the hand of the blade and pulled it out. She let out an excruciating scream which all of a sudden turned into laughter, she kept on laughing for over minute or so.
Miss are u okay? What's your name? I asked with concern.
She looked at me with eyes full of hatred and said, Lazarus my dear, you don't remember me?
My name is Cecelia.
I moved backward in fear this can't be real, my legs gave up and i fell down. This can't be, you're..... you're dead.
Oh Lazarus my poor poor boy, I am dead, but the soul you harbor in this pitiful body allows you to see me. She stood up from the pile of rubbish she laid on and walked slowly towards me.
I have missed you so so much my love.
Did you miss me? She asks with a smile, not wanting to spoil her mood I nodded my head. She smiled and hugged me, I loved you so much i did everything for you but why did you betray me? She held my neck firmly, you made me like this. I lost everything because of you and now your time is up you will finally pay your dues.
She held my wrist and the mark I got in my dreams appeared again.
She traced it with her thumb. Do you know what this is? She asks. N...no, I simply said still trying my best to catch my breath. I kept chanting in my head that this was a dream that I would wake up from this dream and find myself in my room. Oh my dear this isn't a dream she says like she's reading my mind.
She traced the mark on my hand. This is the symbol of your betrayal and my pain. The pain will eventually come don't worry she says smiling.
The grip on my wrist increases it was so intense that I thought it would break. She started saying something in ancient Bulgarian but I was too far gone to focus on her words.
(Псувам те Лазар Смит, проклинам те да помниш и никога да не забравяш. Болката ще бъде единствената емоция, която можете да почувствате, объркване ще бъдете вие, утеха, предателството ще бъде вашето ежедневие и вие ще чувствате това, което чувствам сега през останалата част от живота ви.)I curse you Lazarus Smith, I curse you to remember and never forget. Pain shall be the only emotion you can feel, confusion shall be you comfort, betrayal will be your every day life and you will feel what I feel now for the rest of your life.
You will never know love she says almost like a whisper.
