"TESSA! TESSA!!" the voice was familiar, strong, manly, but isobel couldn't get why the voice made her heart beat so fast.
There was something about the voice that really inputs fear in her
Tessa? it felt like it was she been called "but am not Tessa".
"TESSA" the voice became louder and louder as isobel found herself walking through a dark lonely road, it was too dark that shadows could barely be seen.
A strong wind blew through her face, the goose bumps on her skin felt like they were growing bigger, the fogs became thicker her view became blurry, then it done on her that she's already surrounded by fog.
The deeper she went in, the scarier it becomes, she could barely utter a word, her lips moves repeatedly but a sound wasn't heard.
"TESSA" this time the voice came from everywhere, even after looking around several times, Isobel still couldn't tell where or who the voice was coming from. The fog was getting thicker, road getting darker and the repeated voice echo wasn't helping the situation.
"I want to scream but I can't, where am I, how did I get here?" Isobel thought to herself.
Isobel pinched herself deeply but it became more confusing when she felt a sharp pain at her arm, the exact spot where she had pinched herself.
"Run isobel, you need to run, you can't remain here any longer" her determination to escape grew bigger by the second, suddenly, she felt the movement, she was running as fast as her leg could take her.
The farther she ran the thicker the fog, but at the moment the thick fog wasn't her concern.
she ran as fast as she could, she wasn't been chased that, she was sure of but the environment didn't feel safe as well.
"Run Isobel, you can do this, run" as she encouraged herself, she felt her legs running even faster, the sudden force from the wind blew her further away, her feet were already beginning to lift up from the ground, she wasn't flying but she wasn't walking either. she screamed but it was as if only she could hear her voice. After a while, Isobel felt the wind reduction as she could walk straight now.
"The fog is gone but the darkness remains" the thought runs through her mind.
The place became warmer the more she walked.
At this time, Isobel knew running would be a bad idea, she wasn't even sure of where she would run to, it might be even more dangerous than here.
A slight noise beside her made Isobel shiver in fear as she slowly turned around to look beside her.
It was a brown wooden door, looking rough, old and quite ancient.
Isobel felt this pressing feeling to get inside the dark room.
As much as her mind tells her not to go the feeling was outweighing her thoughts
she found her legs moving towards the room.
The sudden fear mixed with a strange feeling griped her as she went deeper and deeper into the dark room.
Isobel could tell that her heart was beating beyond normal, her legs could barely move, as she dawdled down in one path.
The utter darkness was reduced by the sudden ray of light.
Isobel attention was focused on the little candle that was suddenly lighted few metres away from her.
The candle was suddenly moving towards her, FEAR was an understatement of how she felt at the moment, she felt hopeless.
"Am I dead, could I be in hell right now". Varieties of thoughts ran through her head.
"I can't die, I still have so many things to do on earth, I don't want to die yet.
I can't afford to disappoint Fredo, he gave up his life so I could live, I refuse to die now" the thought to struggle for life just couldn't leave her as the candle drew closer and closer towards her.
Considering all the strenght she puts on her leg, it suprisingly moved just a few pace back.
"Who are you?" the female voice was gentle and calm but it wasn't calm enough to ease Isobel fear.
The candle drew closer as Isobel was able to see the reflection of a person moving slowly towards her.
"could this be the devil, I heard she used to be very pretty before she was thrown down to earth, it seems am really dead."
Isobel thought to herself as she patiently waited to see the face of the strange woman.
Based on the garment of the lady and her fragrance, Isobel could tell that she was no ordinary woman, her hair was black and curly unlike Isobel's who has a straight black hair which is just a little bit below her waist.
"who are you" the woman voice brought back her consciousness as she was lost while checking the lady out, getting more impatient to see her face to confirm what the devil looks like.
As the woman came closer, Isobel saw her red lips which looked beautiful, her brown eyes which looked completely familiar.
she was an epitome of beauty, Isobel couldn't close her mouth as the shock was just too much after recognizing the face of the woman standing right in front of her.
Her lips could only murmur words which sounds couldn't be heard she could see the surprise at the woman eyes as she stares back at Isobel, the woman standing right in front of her who looks exactly like her, the same eye color, body shape and height.
After staring at each other for a while isobel couldn't control the feeling anymore as she lets out a loud scream which also resulted in the woman screaming as well.
With her heart beating as loud as a drum, Isobel could feel the sweat gushing out of her skin as she realised she has been struggling in the bed for quite a while.
Isobel screamed herself out of the bed, her heart was still beating heavily. Her face was still filled with fear but now more of confusion.
"What was that?" that was all she could utter as she struggled to catch her breathe, she felt the stings in her arm as she remembers she had pinched herself earlier in the dream".
I must have pinched my self for real while dreaming that's why it hurts.
Isobel struggled to stand up from her bed as she signs in relieve that it was all a dream.
But no matter how much she tried to convince herself that it was a dream and it meant nothing, she still couldn't erase the feeling that it all felt too real, like she was there for real but on second thought that was impossible.
Isobel went into her bathroom as she can't afford to lay back to sleep.
The rays of the sun which flashes through the exposed window awoken Isobel who was sound as sleep.
After such a nightmare, she didn't expect that she could still fall asleep, but the night was still too young for her to stay awake.
Isobel struggled to rise from her bed as she straightened her neck which seem to be quite dislocated after a bad struggle on the bed while sleeping.
THE DREAM, Isobel mind flashed back to the dream, as much as she want to believe it was just a dream, the strange feeling that it was all real, couldn't stop bothering her.
But of course, it couldn't be real, how could she be in such a strange place for real.
"TESSA" the same voice from her dream, Isobel was sure of that, it had the same ability to input fear in her "Its your mind Isobel, its just your mind, it isn't real, you are just scared because of your dream okay, this is all nonsense" Isobel said as she closed her ears very tightly, not wanting to hear anything but she could still hear the sound of her door slightly been opened.
Isobel could feel her heart running out of her chest as she slowly adjusted herself on the bed preparing to run a marathon if anything goes wrong.
The slight movement into her room was so silent like the steps is been carefully calculated.
Isobel thought she was brave and ready to face any situation until now.
The feet kept on approaching her, the intruder seem to be getting impatient as he moved faster.
Isobel couldn't control her fear anymore as she queezed herself into the bed covering her ears very tightly with her eyes closed even tighter as she waits for the expected movement of the intruder.
The warmth of the intruder hands on her back gave her more shivers.
"Could he be a rapist, if that's the case then am not going down without a fight " Isobel thought to herself getting prepared for the fight at hand as she tightened her fist.
