Prologue
"Hurry! Come on, it's catching up!"
Who was that? She didn't know. All she could hope to do was follow him.
Her legs felt like they were made of sand, every step felt as if she would collapse. She guessed that she would if she kept running like this. Away from that thing that was chasing her. Them.
It roared. She made the mistake of looking back and she tripped over something that crunched as she trod on it. Only God knows what it was.
She cried out as she fell and the boy leading her turned round, looking to see what the noise was. She hoped he would leave her, keep running, but hen she didn't want to die whatever horribly painful death the beast would most likely deal her.
The boy didn't hesitate for a moment before making a decision. He ran for her,ran like the wind to help her and as he reached her, she couldn't help but notice his face. He was covered in blood and she couldn't make out any one feature underneath it. If she were to be honest, he looked a little scary.
He reached out for her. Almost there. But she heard the monster roar again, and she started to turn around, just to get a glimpse of what it was.
"Don't look at it. Don't look at the beast!" he shouted as loud as possible.
Too late. She already saw. And she screamed. She screamed and screamed and screamed. The sight, oh the sight of it was horrendous! It hurt her eyes but she couldn't look away. No, it hurt to try that too.
"No!" He was screaming too now. He was screaming at her to stop, but it was so close. She was going to die and he new it.
"Run", She tried to say. "Run and live another day in this hellhole for me..."
And he did. He ran for his life and she--
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaggggggghhhhhhhhh!"
Ohh, shit. Another stupid dream, another crappy nightmare.
I've been having that one for months now. No one knows about it though, and I don't want them to. I wanna figure it out for myself, by myself, no overprotective parents or worrying friends. Just me.
The girl in my dreams, I don't know who she is or how I dream of her. Just that I find her whilst running away from a particularly scary thingy and happen to know how to not die... Except I'm always too late helping her up, I'm always too late telling her not to look. She always dies and I don't know how to stop it... And I'm starting to think this isn't just a dream.
