Creatura Blog Tour

"I cursed you for half my sleepless night and wished I had taken the doctor’s prescription. He says I have to make myself believe you are nothing and nothing you will become. It’s so easy for him to say that. The panic I feel in my sleep is all too real. I know I’m at fault for feeding it. How can anyone live like this…awake through the night?"

 
The sleeping aid did its job. I fell asleep within half an hour of taking it. I wish it hadn’t worked at all.
I saw you with a little more detail this time. You’re a muscular human etch with a darkness about you. My heart raced as I watched you in the distance walking toward me, snarling. I slept a full five hours before you ran toward me menacingly and I woke in a cold sweat.
The doctor wasn’t right about letting my dream play out. I’m more afraid than I had been in our previous encounters.
I fear you, but I won’t live like this anymore. I’m going to confront you tonight. Tear me apart if you want, but you will haunt me no more.
“Why don’t you believe I’m real?” He asked, somewhat disturbed.
“Because you’re not.”
“I’ll prove it, my precious.” His lips curled.
“I dare you.” I challenged him.
“Do you, now?” He chuckled. “You’re sure?”
“Positive,” I said without hesitation.
“I warn you, I am quite the competitor.”
“We’ll see who wins…” I smirked

“You haven’t even asked me what my name is,” he finally spoke.
“Oh. Sorry.” My face grew bright red. I didn’t have the guts to ask him now that he had put me on the spot.
We continued walking down the hallway. Right before we turned the corner he stopped walking.
“I see you’re the shy type.” He tried to analyze me.
“Not at all.” I threw my hair back over my ear.
He started advancing toward me and pinned me against the white hallway wall. My heart started to race.
“Well, aren’t you going to ask me what my name is?” he pressed.
“Don’t…don’t try anything. I can scream.” I could feel my throat drying up. “The security guards will come right away if you pull anything.”
His laugh echoed against the hallway walls.
“I just want you to know my name.”
I took a side step, but he was quick to follow.
“I’m going to tell you my name, since you’re too shy to ask.”
My heartbeat was at my neck, while my mind sounded off all the things I should do: “I should yell. I should punch him in the gut.”
I was frozen like a deer in front of headlights.
“It’s David…” He slowly leaned in toward my face, “…and I’m real.” I suddenly recognized that voice. I opened my mouth in an effort to scream at the top of my lungs. He pressed his hand over my mouth muffling my poor attempt at crying out for help.
“I win,” he grinned.
My entire body trembled frantically as I felt the blood plummet from my head and down to my feet. I was no longer breathing. I started to feel a cold numbness. Everything turned black. My legs caved in taking my consciousness with them.

My Review: Fran-fricking-tastic!!!

Creatura blends Greek Mythology with Dream Realms into one awesome adventure.
Here is our girl Isis. She has been having issues sleeping due to a demon-type being invading her dreams. It's been giving her nightmares. She is bound and determined to confront this invader to get him out of her head. But what she doesn't realize is she isn't dreaming... she's realm jumping.
Follow along with Isis as she confronts the nightmare maker and goes on a journey of self-discovery about who she is and what she thought was her life is just the beginning.And not to mention a love connection =)
The storyline is wonderfully written and Nely does an outstanding job of keeping you entertained all throughout Creatura. And the ending....there's a whole nother story waiting to begin!

And now for the fun stuff!
