chapter 1219: a bad dream
ba doom!
ba doom!
ba doom!
the sound of heartbeat echoed across an old manor.
it was a loud sound, so loud and annoying, that it made her open her eyes.
slowly, she found herself sitting on the floor of her old bedroom.
her bed, her furniture, everything was here with her.
"huh?"
she glanced around, there was a clock.
in the shape of a heart.
as the clock's hands moved, the sound of the heartbeat continued reverberating.
"where am i?"
the girl woke up in her old bedroom, confused.
her pale skin, which made her look almost sickly.
her long gray hair, reaching her legs.
and her silver eyes, looking around confused.
ba doom!
"huh? wasn't i older?"
she felt lighter and smaller, as if she had become younger.
knock, knock!
and then, she was startled, as someone began knocking at the door.
"eh?"nôv(el)b\\jnn
she was afraid, stepping back.
"sofia! are you awake yet?"
that voice...
she recognized it instantly.
"mom?"
but it couldn't be!
sofia's mother...
she had been dead for years.
the door opened, as a dazzling woman with white hair and golden eyes stepped in.
ba doom!
she looked similar to her daughter, or perhaps her daughter to her.
"dear, what happened? why are you in the floor?"
"mother? what? huh... but you... didn't you die?"
her mother seemed confused.
ba doom!
"what are you talking about, honey? i'm not dead... did you have a bad dream?" "i..."
sofia felt confused, touching her face, trying to wake up.
"this is not a dream? where am i? wasn't i... i..."
she felt like she was somewhere else but...
ba doom!
she couldn't recall anymore.
maybe it was indeed just a dream.
a weird dream of the future?
one where her mother died, and where she suffered because of bad friends.
a weird dream, maybe a nightmare.
yes, a nightmare, and that's all.
ba doom!
"mom... mom!"
sofia smiled adorably, happy.
she ran towards her mother, hugging her tightly.
"oh my... just what happened to you? sofie? why are you crying..."
"they're not real."
"not... real?"
the already cloudy memories of that dream slowly began to fade away.
if that was not real then...
she had nothing to worry about.
right?
ba doom!
"yeah! you're right papa! thank you."
"hahah, good girl."
her father quickly helped her mother pack things up, before the three walked down the vast
gardens that surrounded their house.
the sky was sunny and beautiful, and the forest lush and alive, birds sang, and the wind was
soothing.
it was such a nice day.
ba doom!
eventually, they reached the perfect place.
a small hill that was surrounded by flowers of all colors.
"wooaaah! what is this place? i had no idea this existed here!"
sofia ran across the flower garden, as her parents walked behind her, giggling.
"it's something i've been working on for the last year! do you like it, sof?"
"i love it mama!"
the family set everything for a picnic, blanket and all.
and then sat down, enjoying the shadow of a single, large tree over that hill.
ba doom!
"everything is going to be okay, sofie."
her mother said.
"don't worry about bad dreams... they're not real."
her father reassured her.
and sofia, only six years of age, smiled. "yeah! i'm so happy that it was just a bad dream!"
and she ate, and she smiled, and she laughed.
ba doom!
the clock continued tickling.
it suddenly opened an eye.
a crimson eye.
fleshy red veins spread through the entire building.
the garden.
yet sofia could not see them.
they wrapped around her body.
as she smiled and was happy.
the clock continued tickling. ba doom!
and the nightmare heart continued feeding.
"ah... what a beautiful childhood."
ba doom!
"it brings me so much joy to see you happy, sofia."
ba doom!
"please, forget everything else..."
ba doom!
"i'm here for you... your dear, dear nightmare."
ba doom!
"and unlike all of them... i will never leave you alone."
.
(maria's pov)
darkness engulfed us, as we found somewhere else entirely. this is...
a twisted world born from sofia's traumas.
"her dream heart... it became a nightmare heart."
