The Martian Guy — The Nightmare of Klara [Ep.3]
The Nightmare of Klara and the Mystery of Deadly Raven…
Ricky and Suzan invited Klara to stay with them. Klara decided to stay in their house in Korkota city. Klara has no relatives in this unknown city and she visited here for the first time. She always favored staying in Belgram, not in the city, because she knew the circumstances of staying in the city so she had never visited here before.
Klara knew the behavior of the residents towards the villagers. So she accepted the proposal from the couple as they’re really nice and talked about her problems after their sudden meeting. She trusted Ricky and Suzan, and so do they.
Suzan told her to stay in their house, as it’s unsafe for a young girl to stay elsewhere in Korkota. But, she came to the city to get some help. She wants to avenge her father’s death. So she cannot stay indoors, she should have to go outside for ultimate support. Klara started to plan how to seek some help from the city!
The villagers were shocked and scared by the unnatural death of Robert, their leader. Klara thought she might get better help from the city rather than the village. The village only has some courageous men, but she didn’t want to risk their lives for avenging her father’s death.
Her Nightmare:
Suzan offered Klara to stay in the room situated on the first floor. Ricky and Suzan bought this house two years ago after their marriage. The couple stays on the ground floor leaving the first-floor empty thus no one going to search for her on the first floor.
Klara found the room was nice for her to stay in for that night. She didn’t want to get asleep but the journey from Belgram made her too much tired, so at the dawn she felt sleepy for a moment. The sunlight was passing very slightly from the window and the coldness of the dawn turned her tiredness into sleep.
She went to sleep thinking about the dark forests of Belgram. She was thinking about a lot of questions. Did really her father went to the dark woods? If it was true what happened to him?
Suddenly she saw herself lying on the floor of that room. She heard the sound of another person. Someone was there with her in that room. She tried to look everywhere.
Then she saw her father attached to the wall of that room. He was asking and crying for help. He was badly injured. His one hand is cut off. He was crying in pain and wanted to talk with her daughter.
He was hanging from the wall, maybe his body is attached with some large hook. The scene was horrible. Blood is flowing from his hands, his head and from his back. That made the floor filled with his blood.
Klara wanted to speak, then she wanted to scream but she couldn’t. Her voice was choked to see that horrible thing. She was astonished after seeing what was happening there. Suddenly a raven entered the room by breaking the window.
The effect of breaking the glass was so hard that it nearly scratched Klara on several parts of her body. The raven at first saw her standing but it goes directly to her hanging father. The raven sat on his head, spread its wings, and continuously made sounds by waving its wings. The raven knew something, it wants to say something to Klara. Klara was totally confused by all these incidents, she was scared, and she was out of her words. She wanted to grab the raven, touch it and feel it with her hands.
Suddenly she saw her father breathe his last breath after that much pain he was suffering. The raven immediately starts to hit on his head. That raven wants to break his head, wants something from inside. It made Klara so scared that she ran off the room and went to the balcony to jump from there. She didn’t want to see these scenes anymore and thought, it would be better to jump from the first floor instead.
Then she screamed in agony and her sleep broke. It took her time to understand all these were a nightmare. A horrible nightmare indeed. She stared into the room, everything was fine as was before. There’s no blood, no breaking of glass, no raven, nothing at all. She was shocked by the nightmare. She found herself helpless by that fearful nightmare. Then she went to the balcony and broke down with despairs and agony. She was feeling very hopeless and feeling helpless.
Hearing her scream Suzan and Ricky entered her room in a quick instant. Both asked her what happened, why she screamed so loudly! Klara told about her nightmare.
Suzan told her it was a bad dream as she is going through a hard phase thus she saw these horrible moments. Ricky told her it was now morning and they have to go to their work, so it will be better for her to stay here in the house. Suzan also told her multiple times not to go outside as she didn’t know anything here.
Klara Stepped Outside
The couple went to their work leaving Klara in the house alone. They gave her food and other necessary things to take according to her needs. Suzan also gave her one of her dresses. Klara didn’t want to accept those. She thought she was already making so much trouble on them. But, the couple was so nice they didn’t hear anything from Klara and insisted to take everything they were offering.
Ricky and Suzan both went for their jobs. Now Klara is alone in their house. While changing her dress, Klara noticed a few blood spots were there. She didn’t take it seriously and changed her dress which was given by Suzan. She threw her dirty dress at a corner before taking a nice fresh shower.
After getting fresh, Klara thought to eat some food and after that she’ll begin to search for help in the city. But, she wasn’t able to concentrate on anything after seeing such a horrible nightmare. A hallucination hovered continuously in her head. She was thinking about her father and the raven. Why that raven came into her nightmare? What was its purpose? She wants answers. So she stepped outside of their house and went for looking some kind of help in the city.
