Dreamscape
Nothingness surrounds me for a brief time. As I lay there, I see life flash before me. Eliza stares at me from the Heavens, a child in her arms. I reach for her, only for a great chasm to erupt between us. “ELIZA!!” I scream, “come back to me please, my beloved”. I can do nothing but watch as the wall continues to build, seperating me from what I want most in life. "God! What did I do to deserve this curse!" I cry out reaching for heaven. “Hunter, I cannot. Our love, and life has been destroyed by dark powers we were unaware of”. I drop to my knees cradling myself into a ball of anguish. “I know darling, I know. I did nothing to warrant this”. Dear God, I did nothing to merit this, why has this happened?
“Hunter, I am not blaming you. You were the greatest husband I could have ever wished for. This is not your wrongdoing but the work of Satan”. I stare at her in this dreamscape. “You’re right darling, what should I do? I will never let myself belong to her. This she-demon who destroyed us”.
She stares back at me with love and longing in her blue eyes. I commit her lovely face to memory, knowing this will be the last time I see her again. “Remember me, my love. Do not forget me. Lean onto Garrett, though we never knew what he was, he will be important to you now, God has willed him in our lives for this reason”. I reach for her sobbing but, knowing I will never touch her.
“Hunter, my prince. Please do me one more favor, something I would never normally ask of you”.
“What is it?” desperate to do anything for her, desperate to hear her voice one more time.
“Avenge me, avenge our son”. I cannot believe she could ask this of me, I know her detest for violence but, I cannot ignore her now. I had already planned to kill that she-devil. Her last words call out to me before she is gone.
“Let time heal you, do not stay lonely, I will always be with you, you have eternity, find love again”.
My heart does not accept her words at this moment, I am not sure I will accept it in time for my heart hurts too much.
“You have eternity Hunter, find love again, I will in time show you the way, I will send my heart back to you”.
“Eliza! Don’t go!” everything fades into black stretches of this gloomy place. All I can feel in this moment is nothingness. Love, life, happiness and the bright horizon…all gone.
I lay here for what seems like days or weeks in this darkness, as I feel my body changing into something other worldly. amidst the darkness, there is also the burning sensation that I feel engulfing my body from deep within as if it is trying to burn holes straight through me on its way out. I do everything in my power to bury my screams deep inside. Whatever is happening to me is pure torture, it is as if God had taken a piece of the sun and buried it inside my body, while helping it to spread like a savage storm on a destructive path. 'Dear God in heaven! spare me from this blaze that tortures me body and soul'. This continues for what feels like forever. I feel as if my organs burst inside of me from the insidious fire that scortches my insides. Fuck, when will this nightmare end? when will I be released to ascend to the heavens and be with Eliza? My heart throbs in intense pain as if a hot bladed knife is attacking it to stop its beat. I arch my back off the surface of where I lay as I feel my heart thump with a loud bang, as it surrenders to the fire that scortches it and ends its life. At this moment, I see a blinding light, as I walk towards it I hear a sinister laugh as I am feel like hands grip me, and I am plunged back into darkness. A sinking feeling washes over me, that heaven is no longer in reach for me. I feel that my human body is dead yet, I know that I am still living, I have become something unholy.
As time continues to move on, I feel as if this transformation is starting to end. I struggle to come back to reality, I have no guaruntee if this is reality, if this is a dream, or am I in a different type of realm which my love is in. As start to become clear through this haze, my mind continues to remember the dreamscape that I so desperately want to be in. My heart reaches for it yet, I know it was only in my mind. It is just a delusion that I wish was real. What is left over to continue on with is a seething hate. I feel, this will be my closest companion alongside Garrett. If I have learned one thing through this darkest night, and breaking dawn of immortality, it is this, life can be a cruel bitch. Whatever lays ahead over the horizon is yet to be discovered but, my love I will hold you in my heart and face this world with wrath, slowly welcoming my new fate in life. I feel the fangs break through my skin, and the painful aching sensation in my throat rising. I know what I am, and I will use it to wield justice. I am reborn a vampire with a thirst for blood and vengeance, gone is the sweet man who lead a private life. They have awoke the best within me, the assissin whom I laid to rest years ago, and they will beg for mercy before I am finished.
