How it Started

A lot of things will be different in this story,

not the characters though. Please be aware

that you don't need to read the original story

as this basically is another totally different

version, but follows the story line of the old

book. Thank you to my loyal readers and

remember vote and comment, it shows me

you want me to write more. Again thank

you all for your support with the other

story, I hope this one receives the same

results.

He lounged on a raven black throne, decorated

with shiny white skulls and the most detailed

blood red roses I had ever seen. Intimidating

anyone who dared come close. The figure

perched upon the dark beauty was masked by

a cloak; it was made from the finest silks and

leather and was the colour of the darkest night.

My fingers itched to pull that cloak off his head

to see who hid underneath, but I never got close

enough to the man. His face would forever be

concealed by the shadows in which his cloak

would create, masking his identity from the

world.

He sat on the throne with an aura of arrogance

and loneliness. The room I was in was deathly

quiet, which added to the scariness of the

situation, the walls were painted a midnight

black hiding the corners in shadows. The floors

were a marble colour, polished to perfection

making the lights above reflect on the floor,

twinkling peacefully. A few steps lead up to

the man Daring me to walk up them, but like

normal I was glued to the spot and undeniably

invisible to the world around me and the man

in front of me.

"Hello.."I heard my voice echo around the near

empty room. I knew it was pointless to try and

make contact with anyone in my dream, but

this time something felt different. Annoyed that

nobody could hear me, I stared at the ceiling

where a beautiful chandelier dangled from the

rocky ceiling. Its diamonds sparkled softly from

the flames that kept the room alight.

Pulling my gaze from the ceiling, I realised I

was wearing a black corset dress, black flat

slipper shoes and my blonde hair was curled

and hung over my left shoulder. A black ribbon

was tied around my neck adding to the elegant

look. I tried yet again to make contact with the

man, trying to catch his attention. "Hey... you

creepy dude in the big *** cloak, yeah you...

I'm talking to you!" I screamed in frustration

bored as usual. But this time, his head snapped

painfully to where I was standing and the

strangest, mesmerising red eyes stared at me

from beneath the darkness of the cloak. They

pierced into my blue ones and ifI hadn't have

known I was dreaming, I would have sworn he

was staring straight at me, into my soul.

Awaking from the dream, I lay in bed trying

to catch my breath and control my heart beat,

which if you needed to know was trying to

beat its way out of my chest. I was sweating

nervously, that had never happened before in

my dreams! His red eyes looked so cold from

the obvious lack of emotion, I found myself

wanting to comfort the strange man sat on

the dark throne, it was as ifI was still there in

that dark beautiful room with him. What was

really weird was he actually looked at me as if

I was really there!

I ran my shaking fingers through my tangled

ash blonde hair, I was paranoid that I could

still feel his presence in the room. I looked

around my bedroom at the lilac painted

walls, to the black furniture of my wardrobe,

dresser and night stand. Shaking my head at

my childish thoughts, I threw off my plain

white covers and swung my legs out of bed.

Letting out a small yawn I stretched my armns

above my head, feeling my shoulders crack, I

smiled. Walking over to my bathroom, my feet

sinking into my black fluffy carpet, I pulled

open my bathroom door ready to start my

morning routine. I switched the light on and

waited as it flickered on for a moment. I let

out an ear piercing scream at the sight I saW...

So what do you think? I think chapter has

given you the reader more information

about the characters, I also left it on a cliff

hanger... And yes I'll update with the speed of flash so dont worry🤭😘😉
