Indigo: The Hand of the Demon

Nightmare

#Arc 1: Nightmare

- Stable's Point of View

...

"I don't think you'll be consumed by this pseudo-interest, just because of a book? Hid. It's too easy. That old bastard has kept you away from me repeatedly."

My eyes were open, I realized I was still asleep. At first glance I saw a strange figure hanging from the ceiling of my room. He gripped the ceiling, his head turning from front to back in a 180-degree fashion. Her long hair almost touched my face.

"HM!!! HMM!!!"

I-I can't speak, my body is rigidly immobile. Only my eyes that were wide open could not be closed.

The mouth of the creature was opened big, there was a blackish liquid with a stinging smell of carrion dripping down my cheeks.

My eyes shed tears unconsciously, I was already so frightened, cold sweat soaked all over my body.

"HMMM...!!!"

"Ma... Bi... Lah..."

The creepy creature took off its grip from the ceiling, then its body hit me hard.

BRUAAGH!

"I don't know anymore why this great opportunity fell on me, you know what kind of task they gave me?"

His face approached my face, I tried to close or turn my face away, but still could not. His face was smashed with a large hollow eye socket, as well as a large mouth with sharp teeth exposed. His sharp nails stroked my cheeks slowly until my cheeks were scratched bloody.

"Do I have to kill you by ruining your face too? I'm so envious, because your skin is so pretty, it's so soft. Different from my skin..."

Then he put his crushed face to my right cheek.

"Ahhhhh... Hows it? Do you feel the difference?"

"HMMM...!!! HMM...!!!"

"I could've stabbed you in the chest, then blew your heart out fast. I really feel like I am enjoying this moment. If only I had lived as beautiful as you, I would not have suffered until the end. Khehe... Oh, or maybe how about we exchange lives? I want to be you for a day. Are you gonna let me take over?"

"HMM...!!!"

"What's? You said you didn't want to? Wh why? Is it because my face is ugly? You insulting me?"

My eyes looked back at him, he was shouting out in anger.

"YAHAAA...!!! ROTTEN WOMAN, ARE YOU INSULTING ME?!"

He who was already angry immediately slapped my face so tight that I almost lost consciousness. My head seemed to spin very round, my right cheek hurt because of the wounds he caused by his long nails.

"Remember this, my goal is to kill you, you know! So if you're gonna die, don't insult me!"

This time I was silent without even trying to speak.

"Curtain, asshole, you're sitting on me instead? You don't think I exist?"

"Well, then accept your death."

The creature raised its right hand, its towering nails sharpened even more, then with the look of its feet it instantly stabbed my chest fast!

CRAASH...!!!

Fresh blood flowed from both of my mouths, my eyes rolled back, and then there was an excruciating pain I felt from my legs to my head, it feels like my skin is being ripped forcibly by something I don't know what it is. Then without feeling anything else, my body suddenly felt as light as cotton.

Surprisingly I saw my real body on the bed in normal condition without the slightest injury, as I got higher and higher, my entire consciousness disappeared as if I was sleeping for a very long time.

...***...

...

In the void, I walked down an inexhaustible vast savannah. I'm like a man who has lost his memory, doesn't know why I'm here, alone, thirsty, my feet scarred by stepping on sharp pebbles. Along the way my footprints were blood red.

Actually, where am I supposed to go?

Right?

The left?

Keep forward?

And... How long have I been stuck here?

What the hell happened to me?

My head was so dizzy, I didn't know which event to think of first. My memory is like being ruffled by something.

Finally out of desperation, I prefer to fall on the grass. My eyes looked up at the sky with absolutely no sun. Then the light that makes the day seem as if this afternoon is where it came from?

Where are the clouds?

Everything looks bluish, and sometimes there are some dark blue parts. Her sky...

Wait, is there a water ripple in the sky?

Then from one side of the sky, a wave-like lump appeared that rolled around sweeping the rippling water, then the wave bounced again to the side where it came. Continuously so until my eyes begin to feel comfortable and go back to sleepy.

...

"Uhukis... Uhuk... Uhuk..."

"What's this?"

My body felt so sultry not playing, the clothes I was wearing were suddenly soaked with sweat. My whole body was also covered with warm fine sand.

"Where else am I?"

This time as far as the eye could see, all I saw was a vast desert.

"THE SEED!"

My mouth's getting sand in.

Oh, my God, do I have to walk again?

I finally returned to this desert in a hurry. My body had rolled several times from a large sand dune down to the point that the entire gap of my clothes was full of sand.

Walked...

I kept walking, and it seemed like I was just circling around in the same place over and over again until one time a white thing fell down a lot, it floated down, it felt cold, when touched, it turns into water.

Is it snow?

Right too, the sky...

I looked back at the sky, and sure enough, the sky this time was a deep milky white with all the snow grains that fell from there. The longer the more so that the sand blends with the cold snow that is increasingly mountainous.

What the hell am I doing?

Yeah fall down again, there's nothing I can do either, right?

Bodo time alone, I don't know where I am and it's up where I woke up. I better start closing my eyes.

...

And where else would I wake up? I opened some of my eyes. Then look at things around me slowly.

Hm?

"Cemetery?"

I'm back on Earth?

Next to me was a tomb with the same name as me.

That's...

My headache started back again, this time it hurt so much that it felt like my head was going to explode. My heart also hurt so much that my chest was tight. A split second later, this entire body seemed to be struck by an enormous wind.

The wind alleviated my headache, then it seemed as if it was rearranging all my memories that had previously been fragmented like a puzzle. Until I realized and remembered that I had...

Died.

Eps. 5: Land of Middle, is the place before Afterlife which is located in the middle of the Earth, and the Hereafter. The Land of Middle becomes a waiting place for spirits who are not yet dead so as to get a decision as soon as possible from the Archangels regarding their fate. He could have been returned to Earth because he still had obligations that had not been fulfilled, but could have been left to die and continue his destiny. There is a place in the Land of Middle that resembles a large castle-shaped prison that serves as a prison for Angels who make mistakes.
