Chapter 2 - The girl who knew true fear

Chapter 2

Emily lay in bed staring at the ceiling wondering if there was someone out there for her. Her best friend Samantha just got engaged and she was feeling intensely jealous, Samantha was only 23 and had already found the love of her life while she hadn't even had a date in over a year, she was soon to be turning 29 and was becoming extremely depressed.

It's not that she was unattractive or a bad person she never had any trouble attracting attention from the opposite sex, men constantly tried to get her attention, but from the looks, they gave her she knew they had no good intentions towards her and were only after her body. She had Blond hair a few freckles on her face she had green eyes she had a very curvy figure and a rather good chest if she could say so her self.

Closing her eyes she quickly fell asleep praying she would find her true love. The next morning she awoke with a start looking at the time it was 7 am she dragged herself out of bed. She left for work she worked as an account manager in a bank in Los Angeles. It was only a 5-minute walk from her apartment to the bank, she stopped on the way as usual and grabbed a coffee from the stand, she got to work at 8.15am Samantha was already there playing on her cellphone, Hey how's your morning going". Samantha looked up from her phone with a smile and said I have news", it started off as usual with her telling me how great Greg her fiancé was and how they were going to have their wedding at the beach, at some point during her spiel, my mind just wandered off and started thinking about my future and if I would ever have a fiancé, and if I would rub it in other peoples faces.

Samantha didn't go on for too long I think she realized that I had stopped paying attention to her. Suddenly a smile pops up on Samantha's face "Greg has a friend, a hot friend, a doctor friend. Looking at her I know what she is going to suggest and I know that I have no choice in the matter, if I refuse she will just hound and nag me until I agree. Ok, you should introduce me," I say with a small nervous smile. Great how about a double date you me Greg and Anthony" I smile and say ok all the while hoping it is not going to be another egotistical man that thinks he's Gods gift like all the rest.

This isn't the first time Samantha has tried hooking me up the first was a lawyer, who wouldn't stop talking about his career about what he was doing and were he was going how he was going to become partner, I think during the whole date I said maybe 50 words and when I was talking he would be staring at my chest. The second time was a Police officer named Chad, whose idea of a date was taking me to his local Cop bar and ordering sheared nachos, then going by himself and leaving me at the table to play pool with his cop buddies for 3 hours, then when dropping me back at my apartment having the nerve to ask if he could come in.

By the time Samantha and I finish our chat its 8.30pm and the bank is opening and its time to start work. My job is very boring and tedious the day fly's by in a blink, and I'm walking back to my apartment at 4 pm iv made arrangements with Samantha for out double date were going to have tomorrow on Friday night.

She woke with a start heavily breathing drenched in sweet her heart pumping fast. After 20 minutes she calmed down enough not process what had just happened. Thinking about what she had just seen in her dream had sent nightmares down her spine. It was all so clear never had she had a nightmare so vivid so frightening just thinking about it sent shivers down her spine and raised the small hairs on her arms, walking to her kitchen she grabbed a bottle of vodka that she had from the top shelf. She took two large sips before she put the bottle back.

Sitting in her living room she finally started to think about what just happened she remembered seeing a vast sea of screaming people, all begging for mercy as monsters ripped into them tearing them apart piece by piece. The dream was so lifelike that she even felt like was actually there and could smell the blood and taste the blood in the air. She also remembered the man who stood in the center of all the chaos he was by far the most beautiful man she had ever laid eyes on he was about 1.9 meters in height and had brown hair and a chiseled face that looked a though it had been sculpted by God, and the most noticeable feature that shocked her to the core were his eyes that burned with bright red flames. He stood with a small smile as if he was soaking up all the pain and suffering that was happening around him.
