Chapter 3- Nightmares aren’t just for the Wicked

After lunch with Jax, I was pretty tired. I didn’t need to worry about homework because I was half online and half school student. I was already ahead in my classes and there was nothing my teachers could do about. Ha, take that government institutions. I crawled into my warm inviting bed. There I was welcomed into a nightmare filled sleep.

I was in a forest running from something. I don’t know what it was but I knew that it would catch me if I didn’t keep running. I stumbled on tree roots and rocks, the sky looked menacing. The wind screamed in protest, I understood what it meant. You shouldn’t be here. I see a clearing ten feet away, using the last of my strength I lunged towards it. The clearing was filled with flowers. There was a huge willow tree in the middle of it. The sun was shining brightly, giving me the feelings of warmth and safety. I took another step and tripped on a rock. When I lifted myself up, the clearing wasn’t the same. The flowers were all dead and the willow tree looked like gnarled fingers clawing at the ground. And there was a figure near the gnarled tree.

“Who are you?” I call out.

The figure disappears and then reappears right in front me. It’s...... Daniel.

" Daniel? It can’t be you. You’re dead.... YOUR DEAD.”

“Little sis, you didn’t listen to what I told you that night.” It’s Daniel’s voice but it sounds darker. Daniel grabs my shoulders.

“Dani let go of me. You’re hurting me.” I try to move his hands off of me but it’s like a steel grip.

" Mercy you have to listen to me,” the wind howls. ” It’s all true. They’re real. It’s all real.” He starts shaking me.

" Dani, you’re scaring me. Who’s real? What’s all true? I don’t understand.”

Suddenly Dani is away from me again, but isn’t my Dani. Dani has a missing arm and his eyes are red. There’s blood all over his necks and shirts.

“Thereeeeee realllllll. Bewareeeee,” he hisses out pointing to the trees.

" Dani there’s nothing there, what are you talking about!” I should’ve ran.

Dani disappeared again, replacing him was a wolf. The wolf had blood and meat on his muzzle and glowing orange eyes. He growled at me and started to run towards me. I ran away from it but the wolf ran and jumped on me. I could smell the rusty molding smell of blood.

“Soon. You’ll be mine soon” is all that it said before it ripped me into shreds.

I woke up to shaking. My face was covered in tears, looking at my arm I saw a jagged scratch.

“Mercy! Wake up, it’s just a dream.” My mom was shaking me.

I lifted myself up and hugged her crying into her arms.

“It’s okay.. It’s okay.” My mom rubbed my back.
