1. The Nightmare.
I was shocked when I read that I am dead in the newspaper. It was a beautiful
winter morning, a perfect vacation. I was taking coffee ,The Morning Newspaper was in
my hand ....what a big surprise! A girl with red dress, old fashioned just looked at me
from the cover page ,just a perfect reflection of mine. I was really surprised. I started to
go through the whole story with deep attention.
It was 1652.A landlord had a beautiful ,intelligent daughter .She was in the heart
of all of her family members specially her father .But the only one problem was that her
father was highly dominating. She could not but obey all of the things he had said. She
was in love with a handsome guy from a rich, arrogant family .The two family could not
see each other's face. When the time came for marriage ,naturally the landlord fixed his
daughter's marriage with another guy who was their relative which the girl could
neither accept nor deny as she could not say anything in front of her father. When the
day of the marriage came ,nobody found the girl and her lover anywhere as if they were
vanished totally. It is a big mystery till today .The news is that recently two skeletons are
found .It is expected that these are related to them.
I became highly interested in the story , went to the library to gather more
information. The main attraction for me to know how the girl looked exactly like me. Is
there any connection with me? I could not find any. The story was so pathetic specially
when the girl had to decide which one she would sacrifice..her love or her family? It
2. touched my heart. I was eager to see her boyfriend's photo if there was any. There
were so many pictures, the beautiful house, the family taking diner together, the girl
herself but not her boyfriend's any photo I found..
The sun was ready to set ,I decided to come back home. I was depressed, could
not forget all of these that I had read before. It was dark, it became darker. Suddenly, I
felt something strange .Was there anyone following me? I looked behind, there was no
body. I tried to divert my mind. I looked at the road ,my eyes were stuck ,a shadow was
walking with me but it was not mine. I felt an invisible guy was walking with me. I just got
senseless.
When my sense was back I found myself at home. My mom was preparing
something for me I could not see. I tried to remember what happened. Suddenly I found
a piece of paper besides me. There were just three words...WAITING FOR YOU. The
handwriting was very beautiful but old fashioned ,we don't write in this way now a days.
The next morning something pulled me to the library. It was a cloudy morning. The
wind blew roughly. Surprisingly .I was alone in the library. I was seeking again that
man’s photo eagerly but did not find. Suddenly I felt something behind me. I did not
dare to look at it. Something came closer to me. I saw the shadow again. It
transformed into a human figure. Finally I saw him .Tall, handsome ,black hair, deadly
3. white skin ,sharp nose, sharp eyes. His whole body was covered with black dress .I
thought his favorite color was black. He looked at me as if a dead man were looking at
me. I did not see his eyes blinking for a moment. He smiled .I was totally hypnotized. I
felt deep attraction for him. what a look! It seemed he could read all of my mind but I
could not read anything.
I said, "Who are you?" He did not reply. I repeated my question but got no
answer .I started to think he could not talk. At that moment I heard his voice ,"Come
with me " I did not hear this type of voice before. It could not be human voice, but I was
addicted .to it. He touched my face, surprisingly I did not protest .This was not my
natural behavior .I felt his hands severe cold. I did not feel comfortable but still I did not
complain .I just asked again."Where are we going?" He replied me home .I again asked
,"Where is it?” He said, ”You have to be dead like me.”
The wind blew violently. The storm had started suddenly . All doors and
windows became closed. The lights were off . It was dark, it was very dark. I was alone
with him in the library. He was very close to me. I could see his face more clearly. He
turned into abnormally white. I saw thirst in his eyes. I thought I was going to be loved
but the reality was that he was planning to kill me. He smiled cruelly.
I said, ”Why are you doing this ? I have done nothing bad for you.”
He said, ”You look like Alena .”
I shouted, ”But I am not Alena .”
“It doesn’t matter. When you will be dead , you will be mine. Otherwise, How can
4. I take you to my world? ”He said.
I started to cry. It was impossible to welcome death for being loved. I started to think
how I could survive. I felt his hands were touching my throat. He planned to hit my neck
and kill me. I started to loose hope of my life .At that moment I saw a flash of light .The
whole house shook with lightning. I have heard a big shout. He got unusual electric
shock but I could not find any reason. I was astonished to see that handsome , deadly
white man turning into black skeleton .Finally ,It was vanished, It was totally
disappeared .I was fainted.
When I got my sense ,I told myself it was nightmare, a simply nightmare.
