Insomnia
A beautiful woman rested on the armchair inside the desolate dim room.
There was no other source of light except for moonlight peeking through the windows.
The moonlight reflected on her milky white skin, making it shine like a freshly polished white jade.
The raven black hair enhanced her flawless face and her eyes the colour of flames shimmered like glitter. The moonlight gave her a celestial glow.
Anyone who had witnessed the sight would think of her as a fairy descended from the heavens.
She had a jaded look kept on her face. As if nothing in this world was worth her interest.
She glanced at the sapphire blue sky adorned by the twinkling stars.
The blue hydrangea flowers bloomed around the window and the moonlight enhanced its beautiful blue colour, making it a breathtaking sight.
"What a beautiful sight" she murmured and let an ironic sneer form on her pink lips.
Her tongue felt bitter saying those words. Maybe it was the wine or the bitterness of feeling in her heart.
The eerie silence tightened around her like an enormous serpent, smothering her as time passed by.
Utterly alone in the darkroom. So alone that she thought it will delight her if a ghost would be enough to accompany her in her loneliness.
Ghosts are better than people. They are dead. She sipped her red wine to calm herself.
The wine made a burning sensation in her throat, but it did not bother her. She was used to it. The wine was her best companion.
It accompanied her in both happiness and sorrow. Savouring, it slowly sends her to wonderland. She turned on the CD player, hoping for some music to change her mood.
She leaned back and closed her eyes and twirled the wineglass in her hand. The song sends shivers down her spine.
Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down eat you alive
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals-miles
Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals-miles
Baby, I'm
So what you trying to do to me
It's like we can't stop, we're enemies
But we get along when I'm inside you, eh
You're like a drug that's killing me
I cut you out entirely
But I get so high when I'm inside you
Yeah you can start over you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it's meant to be
But you can't stay away from me
I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me
But no, oh
Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down eat you alive
Just like animals
Animals…
This song was a curse to her ears. That demon who had ruined her sang it.
The demon sang this song to her as a warning that she will never escape from him, not even in death.
She gulped down the wine in panic and some dripped from the edge of her mouth and some of it stained her white shirt.
" You are mine Alexandra, you cannot escape, not even in your next life"
"If you try to run away, I will break your legs"
"You are the flower I carefully chose for myself"
"I will never let you go, not even in your dreams"
CRASH!!
She threw the wineglass to a dark corner of the room and it shattered into a hundred pieces.
Terror devoured her, her hands trembled vigorously, she cupped her ears with it.
"Aargh stop!!!!"
She screamed. Her head was becoming unstable. Tears formed in her eyes, slowly sliding down her beautiful face and falling on the ground.
She took the bottle of wine and gulped down the entire bottle. The wine made her calm, although she itched for a smoke she wouldn't because she had promised someone.
She smashed the CD player with the wine bottle, turning it off out of utter rage, pieces of the green-coloured glass all over the table and floor.
She leaned in the armchair, closing her eyes. Her cheeks crimsoned because of the wine. She tried to sleep but couldn't.
The nightmare will haunt her again and again.
"I can't sleep"
She placed her hand over her eyes hoping
