Chapter #6I'll See You In My Dreams by: Aerodeth   You cant stay awake forever. Sooner or later, youre gonna have to get to sleep. Besides, it's past 2 in the morning! If something were stalking you at night, wouldnt it make sense to strike at midnight? Maybe it gave up for the night... or maybe it really was just your imagination.
You hope that your dad was right... cuz you were getting really REALLY tired.
"Alright Mr. Monster... or Ms. Monster, whichever you are," you shrug as you set your bat down and lie down on your bed, "guess you live to see another night... heh." You snicker to yourself as you pull over the covers and slowly close your eyes...
The last thing is you coulda sworn seeing just before you blacked out was some sort of golden demonic claw reaching for your face! Nah... it's probably nothing!
************************************************
"CoMe WiTh Me.... fOlLoW mE...."
Just then you started to hear a voice calling out to you. You opened your eyes, but everything around you was too foggy and blurred to see. You had no idea where you were, yet you could recognize the aura flowing in the air. It was cold. And gloomy. Exactly as cold and gloomy as the last couple of nights during the Peek Hour! The monster's nearby! You just know it!
"CoMe WiTh Me.... fOlLoW mE....."
The voice called out to you again. It sounded young and feminine. So the monster IS female, eh?
"CoMe WiTh Me.... fOlLoW me....."
'She' repeated. You looked all around through the blurry fog, trying to find the source of the voice... You managed to make out what looked to be a black haired girl in a purple dress turned away from you, walking away in the distance. Maybe SHE has something to do with what's been going on the past couple of nights. Against your better judgement, you head after her.
"HEY! WAIT UP!" you scream, "WHO ARE YOU?!"
She doesnt respond. She continues uncaringly walking away from you. Youre sure she's not deaf. You can definitely hear you! She just wants you to follow... but where is she taking you?
It's not very long before you get an answer, You can make out her walking through some sort of white doorway shaped like a big heart. Once again against your better judgement, you head right through the doorway.
The big heart leads you to what seems to be a completely black and white abstracted bedroom. Nothing in the entire room had any color whatsoever. The floor was cold hard marble with a rug in the middle of the room shaped like an unfamiliar symbol. The bookcase was lop-side, the drawers had awkward shapes to match it's hexagon-shaped design. the closet door couldnt be opened no matter how hard you turned the knob, the ceiling fan was completely frozen still and could not be moved whatsoever, the lacey girlish bed was bent halfway, and the pictures on the dresser had no faces.
One was of a young girl probably posing for a school picture with no face. Another was a family photo... neither the mother, father, son, or daughter had a face. There was even a photo of an entire classroom... not a single student or teacher had a face!
"Weird..." you mutter to yourself.
At the very end of the room, there's an open window-view just over a balcony. You could see the night sky from your position. However, instead seeing stars in the sky, you can make out what appear to be several pairs of glowing red eyes gazing your direction. Not only that, but you coulda sworn you heard several gasps of breath... as if each one of those pair of eyes were breathing. But stars dont breathe! Then you heard growls! You definitely heard growls! One of those thing growled at you! Stars definitely dont growl, either!
Staring out in the horizon, was the girl in the purple dress, still turned away from you. She seemed to be too captivated by the beastly sky to pay any attention to you...
"CoMe WiTh Me.... fOlLoW mE....." you heard her eerie voice call out to you again, just as finally began to turn around....
***************************************************
*BZZT BZZT BZZT BZZT BZZT!!* went the sound of your alarm clock. After a couple times of trying hit the snooze button and failing to hit the snooze button, you just yank the plug right out of the socket!
"Ugh...." you slowly and groggily get up out of bed. What an odd dream, that was. Not to mention a really cold night as usual...
Hmm.. that's strange. No wonder you were cold! Where'd your blanket go?
You groaned and thought about it as you rubbed your aching head.
"How in the hell did it just disa-AAAHH!!" you screamed the very second you saw a big long claw mark against your wall just inches away from your head! It was scratched deep through the paint and into the wood! That totally wasnt there last night!
"N...No way..." you stutter, "N-n-n-no fucking way! There's no way that could-" you stopped midsentence after realizing the 'draft' on your chest! Your shirt was torn apart! Not only that... what was left behind was some sort on purplish rash a few inches above your right nipple!
S...so the monster that was here in your bed a while ago not only scratched up your room, but gave you a hickey, too?! You were desperately trying to hold back the urge to scream your head off, but it was just too much for you! You need to tell your dad right now! And so you head on to your dad's room as fast as you could...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
