Voices From Other Realms

Dream or real

Somewhere and a different era...

It's been too long since we left Dino and Mira.

Dino woke up from her sleep, I don't know how many months she's been locked up here.

Torture after torture had already been experienced, his wrist was filled with bite marks from the demonic woman.

Gusti Queen Anum wanted to raise her husband from the dead by using the mystical power of Dino's blood.

Dino survives only with the golden leaves Gusti Queen Anum gives her every time her blood is sucked.

If only that time could be repeated....

" I'll never be a hunter" he murmured regretfully.

A few months after his blood was offered to raise the deer from the dead, Dino was visited by another woman who claimed to be the sister of Gusti Ratu Anum.

But the female figure only came through her dreams, stroking her neck and licking her but not biting her.

Whether what kind of demonic woman they were, Dino creeped.

As if there was a bond of vengeance between the two brother sisters, I don't know what kind of grudge Dino can guess.

" Mira...," Dino sighed.

Tears flowed down his cheeks every yearning often came to him.

Only Mira gave her the strength to survive, she missed her smile so much.

" May you be there healthy, dear" he sighed eagerly longing.

In her deep yearning, Dino closed her eyes.

Unconsciously he fell asleep and returned to dreaming.

"Dino.wake up...," cold hands stroked his neck.

Dino shuddered, he opened his eyes and saw the woman smiling at him.

The smell of pandanus emanated from the woman's body.

Dino gets up...

" You...."

"Yes this is Arum.I miss the smell of your blood," he said grinning.

Arum approached Dino, then stroked Dino's neck and licked her greedily.

Although Arum has often done that to him, still Dino still creeps.

Arum could have stuck his canine teeth in and bit his neck.

Still Dino straightened his body with tension until all his cold sweat poured out all over his body.

"Hi.hi..you're afraid of me," Arum's loud laughter echoed across the place.

Dino's hair bristles, he curses in the heart.

"I'm not going to hurt you.you don't have a vengeful bond with me, just your face that reminds me of someone I hate the most" he said.

"Your blood is sweet, just by smelling the aroma alone has made me full" he continued.

"Can you help me get out of this place?" fearfully Dino asked Arum.

" I can't, I'm still locked in this curse" replied Arum.

" the curse? what curse?" ask Dino to know.

"The curse of the past" answered Arum.

"Hiks.hiks...all because the man..." Arum roared full of sadness.

Arum's beautiful face looks fierce, he looks at Dino's face.

" Your face is very similar to her.."

"Where is this man now?" tanya Dino ventured.

" I can't tell you everything" replied Arum.

"If you were him, I would have ripped your body apart without the rest of hi..hi..," Arum cried with a laugh.

Her pretty face looks scary.

The sound of gamelan sound from a distance was caught by Dino's ear.

Dino woke up from her sleep.she rubbed the sweat on her temple which was already soaked by sweat...

**********

A few months have passed, Mira spent her days without Dino since her husband went missing without news.

He had to support himself by selling cakes.

Fortunately, Susi who is smart to make the cake was willing to teach her.

With the help of Susi's mother, Mira tried to sell the cake she sold in front of her house.

The cakes made by Mira and Susi's mother were displayed on a long table.

That afternoon the cakes they sold were almost gone, there was little left.

" Thank God Mir..sale us every day selling sweet," said mbak Susi.

"Yes mbak, why haven't we been selling cakes?" said Mira.

" Everything has its own way Mir, you used to have no difficulties because there was your husband who worked" replied Susi.

" But Mira owes the same to Susi, it was Susi who helped Mira a lot."

" That's because we're fighting Mir, you're already thinking of as your own sister..," replied Susi softly.

"That woman still comes to you Mir?" ask Susi.

" It's still mbak, but he can't get in. Just interference from outside the house only mbak," replied Mira.

" Are you still scared?" ask Susi.

" Of course, but as long as he can't get close to Mira...Mira can still hold it," Mira replied again.

Nights...

Mira felt his body was not good, from this afternoon he felt like his hair was always standing.

The wind outside was blowing a little hard, the cold until it felt inside the house.

Mira tries to rest her body in the room.

Mira closed her eyes, half asleep, as if she had seen the door of her room open by herself.

Mira wanted to open her eyes, but it felt very heavy.

His body also seemed to be unable to move.

Mira could still feel with her hearing, and tried to peek even though her eyes could not be wide open.

It was like a black shadow was passing by the door of his room.

" What is that?" mira's heart was pounding hard.

He was still trying to move his body, and was trying to open his eyelids.

But his body was as if dead, only his brain could still think.

A gust of cold wind entered her room, Mira's body shivering.

"Just ......" Mira was like hearing the sound of wind next to her ear.

Mira felt like her body was floating.while the sound of the wind still roared in her ears.

Mira tried to thrash and rebel, but her whole body was paralyzed in the slightest.

"What else is this?" mira said in her heart.

"Jeger...duar..," the door to Mira's room closed and opened making a noise.

"Am I dreaming?" Mira muttered in her heart.

" But this feels real" Mira still keeps trying to move her body and open her eyelids.

But again all in vain.....

Mira then felt her body twirling, she floated above her bed.

His head felt dizzy, while the sound of the wind still felt roaring in his ears.

In a semi-conscious state too, Mira then like being carried somewhere by an invisible figure.

In the darkness of the night, Mira wakes up somewhere.

Mira moved her eyes, trying to guess where she was.

In the dark of the night, Mira's eyes begin to adapt little by little.

Mira looked around her, she was aghast...

Was it like being in a forest? around Mira there are shadows of large trees and shrubs.

Then strange sounds were caught by Mira's ears.

" Am I in a dream?" Mira pinched her own hand.
