Nightmares or Truth?

Tempest heard the whisper in her ear and whirled around quickly as she stood in the center of the snow laden field. "Who's there!?" She demanded as her emerald eyes looked out at the circle of trees. She'd been trying to find the source of the strange Whispering for hours. It always was just loud enough for her to hear but not enough for her to make out what it was saying. It had woken her from a deep sleep and beckoned her. Calling to her. "What do you want!?" she shouted as she heard someone moving around behind her. She was annoyed. Chasing this damn nothing in the forest for what felt like hours. It taunted her. Staying just far enough ahead she couldn't see it. She thought the snow would slow it down at least but even then...it had kept running.

"Come the fuck on! Show yourself!!" Tempest shouted in anger as the sky darkened overhead. She was pissed now. Really pissed. Shaking her head, she ran her hands through her red curls. She jumped when she saw a shadow run behind the tree. She withdrew a dagger from her boot and threw it, cursing when it buried into the tree. "Fucking chicken shit!! Face me!" She shouted. A loud snap came from behind her and she whirled around fast. Her emerald eyes fixed on a set of fierce blue orbs set in a beautiful face with black hair. "Forgive me..." That thick Irish voice said. He looked familiar. Sounded familiar. But she couldn't remember how she knew him. Tempest frowned in confusion a moment before a sharp pain tore through her. Shock set in as her wide eyes blinked slowly.

Blood rushed in her ears as she looked down and saw his fist buried wrist deep in her chest. She tasted blood in her mouth as it began trickling from her lips. She looked up at this stranger as she felt his long fingers curl around her heart. There were tears in his eyes as he looked down at her. "Its over." He said as he squeezed her heart. And just as he ripped the beating organ from her chest, she fell back. The snow and mountain rose up and vanished as iron walls closed around her. Disoriented, she felt a rush of heat under her. Panic set in as she tried to move, the taste of blood thick in her mouth. She smelt a fire as the metal around her began to glow red. Tempest reached a hand up and clawed at the metal. "No! No no no no no!!!"

Her scream was loud and echoed as she jolted upright in her bed, her emerald eyes wide with horror. Tears ran down her cheeks as her entire body trembled from fear. She panted, her throat aching from her scream as she sat in her bed. The sound of lightning crashing made her jump as she looked to the window and saw the vicious storm raising outside. She let out a small sob of relief before she buried her face in her hands and wept. "Just a dream....."
