Night
Terrors
"Give in to me. You know you want to," the hauntingly
beautiful male voice resonated through her, kindling both her fear and more terrifyingly,
her excitement.
As his word lingered in her mind the two emotions swirled and mixed
together, bubbling beneath the surface of her skin and heating in the pit of
her stomach. His minions' claws
caressed her. Rows of sharp teeth nipped lovingly at her flesh. Their whispers
called out to her. Drawing her closer until the maelstrom of hushed voices
surrounded her, drowning her in the abyss of her sleeping world. In the false
safety of her bed, she tossed and turned in the throes of sleep. A shaft of
radiant light from the Mother Moon (who took up nearly a quarter of the night
sky) glistened through the cracked glass of the bedroom window. Sparkling with
dust as the pale light descended on the sheathed daggers set on a cluttered table
next to the window, dripped onto the floor and the garments that were flung
carelessly on the worn hard wood, before trickling onto the bed and the panting
young maiden that rested there.
She arched her back, head thrown
back and sweaty dirty-blonde hair tangled around her. Her mouth parted. Gasping
softly before an airy moan escaped her lips as those sharp teeth and claws sank
in, grasping, tearing into her flesh. Equal parts pain and pleasure cascaded
through her body, stealing her breath as the sensations burned through her
core, blurring the divide between the two until she could no longer distinguish
the difference. As well as anchoring her there in the misty worldscape of *Elethia,
realm of dreams, and with the daemon that had haunted her for years on end.
