章 203: Chapter 203: Reality of Night Terrors

The all consuming darkness wasn’t something new to me, and no matter what I tried to do with my life, I was plagued by visions that filtered through my mind, reminding me of everything I didn’t want to be. I wasn’t supposed to be a queen, princess, or even an ascending heir. I was simply supposed to be me, and as the shadows of danger filtered through my mind, I stepped forward seeking a way towards the light.

I wasn’t a monster like everyone suggested, and every step I took forward through the darkness I kept telling myself that. The words whispered of my lips over and over were a reminder of the truth. That I was not the person they sought to fear.

“What are you doing, child?” the dark sultry voice of feminine beauty swirled around me in the darkness, causing me to stand still in fear, unsure of whether or not I had finally lost my mind.

"Who's there?"

My voice sounded off, and though I knew the words had left my lips, I couldn't help notice how they didn't sound like me.
