Bloody River

By TerrencePublished 3 years ago 3 min read

I was still deep in thought when I felt Goldy stirring up besides me . She brought my mind back to the current state of events . I decided to act like I was still sleeping and kept holding her . Just a few more hours I thought to myself . Laying with Goldy is the only reason I ever like to stay in the bed . Even though we were on the roof . She seemed to be on the same page and quickly went back to sleep . I decided to get a little more rest myself and dozed off again .

I was in a cold dark cave . I thought I was still sleeping next to Goldy on my rooftop ? Oh yeah I laughed to myself . I must be dreaming again . At least it’s one of those weird ones I have where I know I’m in a dream . Ever since I lost my parents I would rarely have dreams that I’m aware in . I wish this was the case back in the forest during the last adventure . Knowing that those giant cyclops were not real would have been plenty helpful .

I had an eerie feeling as I looked around . The cave was very moist and damp . The air had a cold chill . I could visually see my breath . I was dressed pretty warm but it didn’t seem to help much . The cave was empty until I saw something walking towards me from a path . As it got closer I realized that it wasn’t a something . It was a him . He looked like he could be from the same wolf dog race as me . Except he was more feral . In comparison to me he had wilder , longer hair , larger fangs , hands and claws . He stood at about 7 feet tall , with a slim but ripped muscular build . His fur seemed to be dirty , but it wasn't dirt that he had on his fur . There were faint blood stains on him .

He looked me dead in my eyes and said in a very deep and echoing voice . " Blood will flow like water currents , and I shall drink from that river . " Shivers rans down my spine . My legs followed suit and I took off running . What a joke I thought to myself alongside my terror . I thought I was starting to become a true brave warrior .

Goldly woke me up with a frightened look on her face and asked me what was wrong . I stared at her for a little while . I needed a while to adjust myself to waking up . I gave her a quick summary of the vivid dream I had . It really didn't make her feel any better .

After a few seconds of thinking with a concerned look on her face . She came up with a suggestion . "How about we pick up some breakfast from the cafe and eat it on the river ! Some good food and scenery with me will keep your mind off of nightmares . I had a feeling that the dream was something more important than a simple bad dream . There was no point in telling her that though . She'd only worry about me more . I just simply agreed with her . " Sure thanks , that sounds like a great way to start the day !"
