Love is hurtful,
often deceiving, but never impossible. Lying here, knife above my heart, made it
seem impossible. The man I loved and adored so much is Satan.
However, I only saw the pure, untainted love he showed me. I never saw the
evil in him 'till now. Toby was going to kill me. Destroy me. Crush my beating
heart so that this selfish creature could live for eternity.
The dim light glinted
off the menacing blade as it hovering above my pounding heart, preparing itself
to plunge into my heavy chest. Toby was my life, and he was about to take it from
me. I gave one last look of the last things i would ever see but something was
different. Toby wasn't there. This is not the Toby I know and loved. Where was
he? He appeared in front of me, the warmth lost from his eyes, and in its
place it was filled with a cold, unwelcoming, glassy stare...
I woke in a pool of
sweat in a dusty motel room. I couldn't breathe. Toby was going to kill me.
Suddenly I felt a cool hand on my shoulder.
"Jade, are you
alright?" Toby asked as he turned on the lamp by the bed I was sleeping
on. "You started to scream, then yelled and now you're drenched in your
sweat. You scared me Jade!" Toby hugged her, not caring that she was
covered in sweat.
“You’re going
to kill me. But you love me. I love you. Why?” I started to sob to Toby. I was
back to reality, but it felt too real. I felt I was there in the room, lying on
the raised ground. The coldness of the wind had brushed against my hot check as
the knife hovered above my rapidly beating heart. It was all too real. Too real.
“Oh Jade. You
are my world! I couldn’t live without you. It was a nightmare, you need to go
back to sleep babe” Toby softly said as he gently laid me back down. He stroked
my hair and lovingly looked into my eyes. “I would never hurt you Jade. You
know that right? I love you” and he kissed the top of my forehead.
“I know you
wouldn’t, it’s just…”
“It’s just
what Jade?”
“It was too
real to be a dream. It felt like a memory or something that is about to happen.
Do you get what I mean?” I said as I found the strength to sit back up again.
“Let’s talk
about this tomorrow. You need your sleep for the long journey ahead.” Toby
plainly said.
“What journey?
What are we even doing here in Alaska?!” I started to panic as I didn’t even
know where I was and why I was here.
“I said let’s
talk tomorrow. Now you need your sleep Jade.” And he turned his back on me
before I could protest.
“Toby?” He
turned round suddenly which made me leap out of my skin.
“Yes Jade?”
“Can I call
Blossom tomorrow? Just to say I’m ok and that? Please?” I asked willingly.
After a while,
he answered me. “Yes, yes you can. Now sleep, we will talk more, tomorrow
morning.”
My head found the
pillow and my eyes could not stay open a second longer, and I drifted off into
a deep sleep.
However, I could not get the thought of the nightmare out of my head.
