The Nightmare

Under the starry night sky, a forlorn female silhouette stood erect on the rooftop of the highest building in the Z city. The cold night breeze fluttered her long ink-black hair, sending chills all over her body as she watched the yellow city lights illuminating the entire place.
She raised her head and immersed herself in the picturesque view of the winter night.
"Sasha,"
A deep masculine voice broke the tranquillity of the night and tenderly wrapped her into a warm embrace, resting his head on the nook of her shoulder, inhaling her sweet fragrance.
The corners of her lips curled into a charming smile as she turned to face the man.
His perfectly chiselled face glowed under the faint night lights, and a pair of dark obsidian orbs stared back at her with intense passion,
The strong arms that wrapped around her waist effortlessly lifted her from the ground. He gently placed her on the cold railing of the building, facing him.
Under his intense stare, she opened her mouth to articulate the words which have been ringing in her mind,
"I..love-"
Even before she could complete, her mouth got forcefully shut by a blazing kiss. His hot breath laced with an intoxicating scent attacked her senses all at once, stopping her mind from creating coherent thoughts.
Her amber eyes sparkled like stars as she melted under the sweetness offered by his lips.
He was like a voracious wolf that devoured on her velvety lips with an uncontrollable hunger,
Her mind fell into absolute chaos when he suffocated her with his overbearing kisses, just like a predator attacking the prey under its most vulnerable state.
Her slender arms pounded onto his broad chest, like a vague plea to give her a moment of breath.
He grabbed her rebellious arms and slowly pulled his ferocious fangs buried on her plump red lips.
While panting for breath, she tried to focus her gaze on the devilishly handsome man in front of her eyes.
This devil almost choked her to death with his brazen actions,
Yet she was delighted...
She was so happy that her heart thumped inside her rib cage as if it wants to break free and jump out to rejoice.
"Sorry," An apology escaped his mouth as he traced her soft cheeks with his burning fingers, painting it in a pretty hue of scarlet red.
"Huh?" Her perfectly shaped eyebrows arched up in query, but received no reply.
His impatient fingers slowly travelled down her chin, gradually find their way to her rhythmically rising bosom,
The flimsy cloth that separated his callous finger tips from her soft skin couldn't stop the rosy beads on her chest from awakening under his touch.
It was cold as a winter night, yet he lit her mind and body on fire with his tantalizing touches,
"You deserved to die," He chimed in a magnetic voice,
The dark orbs in his ocean-deep eyes replaced with burning red spheres and an evil grin spreading over his exquisite face,
She gawked at him with incredulous disbelief.
"Goodbye, Miss Sasha Amber Reagan."
Even before she could comprehend his words, his strong palm pushed her down, plunging her into the depths of hell,
Noooo!!!!!
Sasha woke up from her sleep, yelling at the top of her lungs. Her heart frantically beats under the thick woolen sweater drenched in sweat as if she has run a marathon.
She squinted her eyes and swept a glance across the scattered documents on her table,
Neatly stacked bundles of papers and books resting on the shelves of her minimalist looking study room gave her a sense of familiarity and assured her that it is her apartment,
"Phew...It was a nightmare!!!!" She let out a sigh of relief and tilted her head towards the digital clock kept on the table.
4.00 am
'Did she fall asleep while working?' Sasha wondered and tapped on the keyboard of her laptop and the document she was editing became visible to her eyes.
"Woah it is still here." She muttered under her breath, reaching out for the water bottle kept on her desk to suppress the anxiety kicking into her body with few mouthful of cold water.
Thanks to the auto-save her document was still remained intact otherwise her hard work for the last one hour must have gone in vain.
She rubbed her eyes to adjust with the brightness and scanned the document on the screen.
'There were two more chapter left to edit!' She sighed heavily and averted her eyes back to the clock.
Of course, she has enough time to complete the work and send it to the client. So taking a nap won't be problem at all.
"Let's sleep first and finish it later." She mumbled and saved the files.
Letting out a yawn Sasha flexed her knuckles and closed the laptop before leaving the seat.
She groggily dragged her body to the bedroom and removed her sweater, letting her tensed body cool down before falling into sleep.
After setting the temperature of air conditioner, she climbed onto the soft bed and crawled under the blanket.
While hugging onto the giant teddy bear on the bed, her mind wandered around the shreds of the dream she had a while ago,
It was the same nightmare that has been haunting her for the past week.
A dream in which she appears happy.
A dream where she is being doted upon, being kissed and touched, but more than anything else, being loved by someone.
But in a glimpse of moment, her colorful world turns upside down when she found herself at death's door.
The jovial dream turns into a disaster the moment she confesses her feelings.
Why is like that? Isn't she qualified to be loved? Even in her dreams?
Sasha's mind fumed with various questions, but more than anything else, the thing which haunted her the most-
"Who was that is he, the one who is ardently trying to kill her, every single time?"
