1. A Dream! Felt So Real.

"I've something to take care of. Don't leave this cave until or unless I come back. Got it?" Saying these words, she turned her back to him. He stared her back while sleeping on a leaf bed on the floor helplessly as he was wounded very deeply, surrounded by water like an island, till he lost her from his sight.

The water has a spell, which can make a person bleed to death by just seeing it. Then there is no chance to cross the water and reach him. Soon, the hanging climbers over the cave closed, and it turned dark. He closed his eyes, leaving a crystallized tear drop on the edge of his right eye like he was frozen.

No one would believe there is a cave hidden behind those massive thin Trailing Lantana's, who look from outside. She confirmed as she turned the big oak tree, making it corner. Saw the flowers, blooming instantly over the cave from the Lantanas.

'These flowers will be my time limit. I know, for the work I'm going, there is no returning. But, I don't want him to die in the hands of these corrupted cruel people. So he has to rest in that cave until the flowers stop blooming. He is neither dead nor alive. He is set to a deep sleep. If someone is to find him, then he will transform into human form. Live his life as-'

Pssk!

A sharp sword passed through her spine from her back. The sword didn't make any noise, neither any bird heard nor any insect witnessed. How is it possible? Did the time stop? May be no...

Her tears fell as she kept staring at the cave, ignoring the person who slashed her like a dead meat. Her mind numbed and blank. Fell kneeling on the ground, and the sword pulled back from her body with force while kicking her with foot.

She fell, landing her cheek on a lavish golden shoe in front of her, which has a dagger. The dagger is so small and has poison that can kill any living being by just a small scratch, anywhere on the body. The dagger pierced her cheek, and in the end, she died because of the poison.

While she was falling down, she wispered some spells and wishes. Neither of those two persons heard. Nor her lips moved to notice any. She didn't make any sounds of pain in fear that may woke her lover to come out of the cave and got killed like her. She tolerated the pain to her wits.

There are two people. The one with the sword and the other who had poison in shoe. Those two are angels from heaven. They had long silver hairs, wore white clothes with no decors, and just had a golden colored leather belt around their waist. They seem to be identical but are very far from being the same.The shoe is tainted with red color due to her blood.

The one with the sword kicked her aside so that the dagger came off from her cheek. "We pity you. After living such a holy life, you have to die like this." Are the cruel words filled with sympathy came from the man who has dagger in his shoe.

Her long, messy white hair glinted for the last time. A faint sweet sour smell oozed from her body as she turned to ashes. The ash gave so many flowers that were so new to the world and her soul trapped in those flowers. Her white clothes tainted with blood are sinked into the soil as like they are buried manually.

The only witnesses are the two angels who killed her. After seeing and confirming her death, "Common Halka, let's leave!" Exclaimed the sword's man. "Ok, Jhalka." Said the dagger man as a loyal servant.

"Jhalka, can't we just take her to heaven and cleanse her soul?"

"No, Halka. She doesn't deserve it. She committed a heinous crime by saving and falling in love with that beast."

They both continued and disappeared into thin air as they passed off her dead body. The forest darkened and darkened. Nothing can be seen to normal eye.

The distance between her body and the cave is a hundred and five feet. They both fell in deep sleep. But one is dead, and the other isn't.

Gasp!

'Again with the same dream? That felt so real. Who is she? Is that me? The pain felt so real, I could still feel the heat in my spine caused by the sword.' She woke up from her early morning sleep.

'How many times has it been?' Picked herself up from her bed. Sniffing, wiping off her tears while feeling her back which she felt like the sword really pierced her.

'Who is the person in the cave? Who are those two angels? They got tainted with blood? Are angels supposed to kill a woman like that in the middle of the jungle? Why did this happen? And the same Beast which I never saw in the dream too, just heard their conversation. Why is this dream feeling so sad and real? What does this dream mean? What does it want to show to me? What was it telling me?' A train of thoughts ran wildly in her head as the sun came up sliding on the darkness.

'Is that woman really me? Her white hair resembles my hair.' Thought to herself while looking herself sitting infront of the mirror as the memory of the dream is still vivid in her eyes.

'Just that one thing. Nothing more. I don't know what is what. I should quit thinking such ridiculous things.' She confronted herself while getting ready to have breakfast with her family as a custom.

The maid did her hair. Wore a grey rose colored fancy comfortable dress with laces. Shoes, accessories which match to the dress.

Though it isn't the very first time. She can't help but get lost in that dream. Someone waiting for her is what she often says to herself. The little girl is still in daze because of the frequent appearance of the same dream. Having the same questions and thoughts all the way along, walking to the dining hall. More likely to say, it became a daily routine.
