Bab 118: Unwanted dream and visitor

A scream bellowed from the distance.

Azrael jolted awake after hearing that agonizing sound. He found himself standing in the middle of the road, and a car was parked before him. The beam of the headlights blinded his vision momentarily.

He rubbed his eyes as they adjusted at the glares, and when they were clear enough to see, he saw a figure sitting on the passenger's seat of the car.

Knox's face was seen beyond the windshield, looking at Azrael with a terrified face. He screamed and shouted, "Get away from me! You're scary!"

Azrael, pained from that outburst, shook his head incessantly.

He denied what he saw. He lifted his hand to reach Knox, but his movement halted after finding his hands covered in blood.

Suddenly, the lights decreased, and there, appeared a dead body before him, sprawled on the hood, with its hollow head staring back at him.

Azrael was rooted in his spot.
