Dreaming

Lex soroh 

Cassandra woke up in the eerie stillness of the abandoned mansion, whispers echoed through the empty halls. Shadows danced with malevolent intent as a forgotten melody played on a piano with no pianist. Each step taken resonated with the haunting memories of a family long gone, yet their presence lingered, trapped in the decaying walls. As the clock struck midnight, a spectral figure materialized, recounting a tale of betrayal and tragedy that echoed through the corridors, sending shivers down the spine of anyone daring to listen.

It was a tale long lost to time and the wind, but the ghost of the mansion hunts the living and stray people who find themselves there either in reality or Dreamworld. Like Cassandra does that faithful night, she couldn't imagine the horror of the long-dead past.

The spectral figure's voice booms and reverberates like a loudspeaker and the wall of the mansion shakes as if there is an earthquake. Cassandra's teeth rattled as the voice kept coming closer, she was stunned to hear such malice in a long-dead voice. She tries to come to reality but can't because the spectral figure refuses to release her until he is done with his tales. As the tale progresses and the voice boom more intense, she can bear it no more and keeps clawing at her face wanting to wake, but then it doesn't work and yet she keeps on it till she starts bleeding and chunks of flesh start falling from her face and then the screaming started, she thought she was hearing it from afar until she notice she was the one screaming. 

A figure materialized and told her to call the spectral figure name three times and she would be free. But she couldn't because she didn't know his name and so she kept screaming until her throat went raw and she started bleeding from her mouth and nose. She was shocked by bleeding in a manner she couldn't control. That is how they found her dead in the morning on her bed with her face imitating a screaming person.
