Chapter 1 - The Nightmares

**I couldn't understand myself anymore or were I was, but it gives me the creep***

Lost in the middle of the night in the lonely woods... Diana stood staring at the moon, the leaves all moved side by side making sounds that brought fears to Diana's trembling heart, scary screams and fierce sounds were the order of the night and all she could notice at this critical moment was the steps of a beast like creature hiding in shadows.

She was too afraid to mutter a word, sweat fell down her pale face as if she was under the rain, she could feel her heart shrinking as the creature moved..

Was this her last time on earth?

Was she going to die now?

All kinds of different ways she would die kept on appearing in her mind.

"I can hear your heart beating fast and every saliva you take, the moves you make as you stand shaky under the cruel moon, every drop of sweat on your body, your every breath I can feel it, how fearful you are"

A man's voice was heard out from the shadows where the beast-like creature stood.

His voice sounded calm, yet scary, but no doubt it brought calmness and a bit of fear to Diana's body.

Immediately he spoke she felt a slight pain in her heart, a sudden connection and attraction.

"Ouch what was that?" She asked as she fell to the ground on her knees.

This gave a sudden concern to kia, but he dared not show his true self to her.

I'm I falling for a beast with the voice of a prince?, but why the sudden attraction? She asked inwardly...

She couldn't quite understand what she was feeling, fears or attraction in the middle of chaos.

"Why do you hide? Don't hurt me please, come into the light, I can't see you in the dark" she asked, calmly trying to hide her fears.

"But that's where I've always belonged, I would never hurt you, even if I could my cruel heart wouldn't agree "

"Why the sudden attraction, what is this I feel for it?" She asked rhetorically.

" I feel the same human, but seems like fate is playing games on us, and I've loved you too much to let go"

Suddenly the creature mutates into a human.

Diana Margret are you still sleeping?" Asked Mrs Mona, Diana's Aunt, her voice came from the kitchen, it was so harsh that Diana woke up in anxiety, her clothes were so soaked in sweat as if she was taking a bath with her clothes on.

Confused and at shock, realizing that all she was experiencing was all a bad nightmare, she immediately exhales forgetting all about her aunt.

"Diana, Diana!!!!!!!!!!!!" The voice came again, this time more harsh than before, bringing Diana's attention back to reality.

"Yes aunt" she replied as she got to the kitchen looking so restless and sweaty...

For a moment Mrs Mona thought she had been doing something that must have cost her much strength for her to sweat like that.

"What were you doing?"..

"Me.."

Mrs Mona nodded calmly, staring at her suspiciously.

"Em.. I was .. I was just" she said as she tried to calm herself while talking.

"Relax.... Relax... Diana, was it the nightmare again?"

She nodded... Looking so drained and tired of the morning....

"I don't think I can go to school today aunt"

"Why not, come let's go over there, we'll sit at the coach"....

"You are telling me you had that same dream again... Like how many times now?" Sia asked...

"Oh gosh more than I can remember, been having this dream since I was seven, but it wasn't as serious as the once I'm having now, if I close my eyes I'm literally seeing the same thing Sia"

Exhales slowing Sia took a sip of her drink as they sat in the canteen before talking.

"Hey calm down okay, maybe there's a reason for it, I mean it's weird right?"

"Yeah it is" Diana muttered as she gave Sia a sad look..

Diana knew inwardly that the recurrence of her dreams was not ordinary, but what could she do if not to relax and disregard the thoughts of it, but this couldn't happen because of the constant attraction she was feeling...

It was all a dream but why was she feeling so in need of him in reality?

Was she falling for a beast in her nightmare?

"Okay, why don't we go see mock, the future teller?" Sia asked...

"Huh, you believe in such things?"

"Emm yeah .. it wouldn't hurt if you try to know what your future looks like, I mean since this nightmare won't just stop coming, let's see if you will fall for the beast in your nightmare"

"Okay. " Diana said as she nodded her head sarcastically, "you're insane.... I ...."

"Like I Diana Margret falling for a beast?"

"Is that your wish for me?"

"Don't be silly, it's just that the world's turning unnatural these days "

"What do you mean?" Diana asked.

"Haven't you heard of a beast being in existence in this part of the country and also the story of the moon goddess and her deal with the beast king?"

"How do you know about these things Sia?"

"Books, been doing alot of research and reading on the past since the rumor of beast being in existence went about "

Diana looks at Sia with a weird look and then shakes her head...

"You've been reading to much fiction stories Sia"

"Fiction stories you say?" She asked while holding her hands together and placing it under her jaw

"Tell me then, how did fortune tellers come about if the world isn't becoming more unnatural by the day?"

"I think they existed before Sia"

"You think?"

"I think you are slacking in recent updates Diana"

Blinking her eyes and staring at Sia seriously as if she knew sia had a point she wanted to make.

"Last week, dead bodies were found in the woods, rumors said they were attacked by fierce looking monsters, some said they were the beasts from the past, what do you call all these now?"

"Okay but shouldn't there be scary creatures in the world , I don't know anymore let's just head back to class "
