Chapter 219

Ella's POV © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

I was running through the jungle again. The branches and vines whipped me just as usual but this time,

the pain was more excruciating. The fear too came in constant waves of intensity and the pounded of

my pulse in my ears was louder.

It was the same dream I had weeks ago in the hospital before the pills but ten times more real. The air

was thicker and more humid than ever before. My legs burnt like I'd been running for hours. I could

even hear the screeching of birds in the sky above.

I reached the clearing. Just as before the shadow emerged from the trees and came for me as I stood

paralysed. But this time that wasn't the end. It grabbed my throat, slamming me to the ground and still

utterly unable to move I had no choice but to look up to its face.

It was Andrea. Or a version of him at least. His face was twisted in the most horrendous way, his skin

grey and leathery with sunken sockets housing the most dreadful eyes. They were so black and dark I

found my self staring back at the reflection of my own face. I was pale like a corpse, my expression

completely still. But he was strangling me, I couldn't breathe, yet there wasn't even a flicker in my eye.

I woke up sweaty and panting, my heartbeat still racing. The fear didn't leave me even as I sat awake.

The house was silent but inside my head, the voices the back, the images were back. Everything was

back and worse than before.

I wanted to scream but I couldn't. There was no sound to be made.

It was suffocating and squeezing me and I just couldn't bear it.

I took one look at Leo. He was still asleep. Then I opened my bedside drawer and grabbed the jar of

pills.

There were only fifteen or so left.

That will be enough to numb it all and everything will be bearable again.
