>The Perfect Dream<

When I lay down to bed every night I dream about him, the human I’m watching over. It’s always the same dream, just as unnerving, just as vicious, and I wake every morning from the infectious dream that leaves me wanting, needing and hoping for more. “Adryana,” Kaleb whispers in my ear. I was standing on the edge of a skyscraper, wings outstretched, with him by my side. “Adryana, I need you. You’re all I’ll ever need.” The scene changes drastically as I find myself immersed in utter darkness, wings spread, Kaleb holding a small hack saw. “Adryana,” he whispers again. “Adryana, I’m sorry but it has to be done.” The look on Kaleb’s face changes from an angelic smile to a horrifying leer. He lunges at me, and proceeds to saw off my most precious of gifts: my wings. “Kaleb, No!!” I scream at him to no avail. “You can’t do this!! Stop! Stop!! Please! You’re hurting me!! No!!” Yet again the scene changes but now I’m standing in a bedroom facing a mirror. Kaleb is lying on a plush bed behind me in nothing but his jeans. As I see the reflection of my white nightdress in the mirror, I first notice the spots of red tainting the pure white of my dress. Then I suddenly feel the warm blood flowing down my back like hot water in a brook. Kaleb rises from the bed and walks over to me. He wraps his arms around my waist; I intertwine my fingers with his so that it appears that I am hugging myself as he whispers sadistically: “Adryana, please stop gazing at your reflection. I know it’s going to take some time to get used to, but you’re still just as beautiful as you’ve always been. Please come to bed baby, I’ve been waiting patiently for half and hour.” Kaleb then leans his head on my on my collarbone and kisses my shoulder. He move up to the base of my neck and gently places a lingering kiss. Next, he sets his luscious lips on my jawbone and forms the kiss of a lifetime, and one more on my cheek. He then turns me so I’m facing him. My lips meet his halfway in the perfect kiss. I start to pull away but he holds me tighter. The full force of our kiss finally hits me and I kiss him back hungrily. I never want this moment to end, even if the world falls down around us, I hoped that moment would never end. I would freeze time forever id I could go on living this one moment until the end of time. The kiss seems like it last for half and hour, but as we finally end the embrace, our lips linger as does the feeling of pure ecstasy. Then the scene changes one last time as I see myself leaping from a skyscraper Kaleb holding my hand ever tightly. I look deep into his hazel eyes and he looks back into my baby blues. Only three words escape my lips as we plummet from the height of the skyscraper: “I love you.” As I fall to my death with my forbidden love, I wake, wishing that I could go back to my hauntingly ethereal wonderland.
