Chapter 6 - Nightmare

Sitting in the bed where he woke up Ray was frowning over his attributes

Cautious caller:[ Your caution know no bounds , you prefer to know everything before taking action]

Paradoxical existence:[ As said your nature is paradoxical it's like seeing two sides of a coin simultaneously]

Ray had no idea what these meant so he decided to ignore it for time being. It was getting dark and Ray's exhaustion was catching up to him so he lied down in what seemed like a futon to him

Laying down it took but a moment for Ray to doze off it felt as if his connection with the trial became more strong while he slept

'What was a that'

hearing a thud sound ray opened his eyes and looked around but due to darkness his eyesight was as good as of a blind beast but something was weird it felt as if the darkness around him was weird it seemed curious, lively even as if it was alive.

Noticing that their was no blanket over him he tried to move his hand to find one but was unable to. He literally couldn't move his hands it was as if they were chained to ground then he looked down to realize he wasn't lying on the ground but was stuck to the wall by something dark and repulsive this realisation sent Ray into panic so he struggled to get out of it like a madman

As he was struggling trying to break free his arms a drop of blood slept down his forehead realising there was something above him Ray decided not to look but the curiosity of what's up there was eating him alive so after some time he decided to look up ready to stare at the abyss

Ray tilted his head upwards with closed eyes then with a lot of anticipation and will he opened one eye then another what he saw was nothing there was nothing.

This gave Ray an immediate relief that he was safe maybe what fell on him was his sweat and he mistook it's thickness for blood thinking this Ray started to tilt his head downwards but then he noticed their was something jagged in the rooftop just like a icicle but there were many and something dropped from it again falling on Ray

This time it was not a drop of blood but a peice of meat which was not chewed properly he could even feel the hairs in it

as the blob of flesh the slid off his cheeks

By now Ray was mortified he did not know what to do just as he was dead to give up hope he heard a voice

"Lord"

Even hearing this voice gave him a source of hope as if lighting the desire of freedom in him just as he was about to say something the the multiple icicles started coming closer to Ray trying to engulf him . Whatever it was it didn't want him free so it choose to silence ray , as a way of retorting he opened his mouth to yell but no voice came not even a remnant of it then ray felt pain in countless points in his body all of which were pierced by those iccicle shaped dark things

From the pain and fright Ray woke up again

in the same room as before

'Pathetic ' Ray scoffed himself for dying twice in a row but miraculously waking up again in this room

'Did he have a special ability to return after death' it was pretty beleivable as after his previous two deaths he woke up here

But ray decided to drop the idea because if this room was a check point it would have to be daytime but now it was night so yeah it was not a checkpoint unless each death shifted his time of resurrection from initial point of nightmare but anyway this theory had to be on hold for now anyway

Because it had no substance

Thinking what he should do Ray decided to venture outside sliding off the door leading to the garden cautiously Ray made sure no one would be woken by him and scold him well now they couldn't after all he was the one in the charge

Holding the lamp in hand he moved in the yard looking around . Strong gusts of wind brushed passed him these winds were dispersed by the glass of lamp yet the flame inside the lamp flickered whenever the wind flew by

While inspecting surrounding of the house in dim moonlight Ray he realised it resembled the houses in Japan which existed before the dark time

Ray heard brushing sound coming from the next corner he rushed there expecting to be suprised by another horror well to say the least he was surprised but not by a horor but by the beauty

As what he saw was a girl standing infront of him a single word came to his mind

'Beautiful'

It was the same girl he made cry this morning or maybe yesterday morning who knew the time in a nightmare

But she was standing there nonetheless like a night lily opening it's petals in presence of moonlight she had also loosened up a little and was looking towards moon as if yearning for someone or more accurately for something

Looking at the sight infront of him he was was taken aback as it felt he could feel her yearning, feel her desire .

The sight infront of him may have been beautiful indeed but he could not help but feel frightened and ask a single question what was a lady like her doing outside in the dark at such a time this observation made Ray tensed he tried to leave but...
