Don't Let Go

The New Boy

Coldness shrouded over my body. Shivering I had awaken on the ground. Looking at my new surroundings I wasn't in Sandy's arms anymore or in my room. I was in the woods. It was really eerie, and the trees seemed to grown rickety around the thick fog. My face was slowly losing temperature as I looked up at the black sky. Sitting up off the dead grass I began to huff out clouds of smoke. Peering into the sky it was nothing but darkness. No moon, no sounds, no animals, no stars just blackness, and yet I still seen my bright skin color. My decision was to stay in one spot. I was hoping that it was a nightmare I would soon wake up from. I scooted my knees up to my chest. As my face lay in my knees my ears had picked up someone singing a spooky tune in melody from afar. Sounding as a woman.

Ooohh ooooh lovely melancholy
Evil bodies lay afloat in this breeze
Can you smell their flesh
Ooohh lovely dove
Have they torn your wings
They are coming for you
Oooh lovely Rose
As your petals wither
You die slowly

The singing was closer now. As the person sang I kept my face buried in my knees, and my hands to my ears trying to ignore it. Lifting up my head the singing had stopped, and I now saw a group of shadows around me. They were still, and faceless. I was in fear, and anxiously waited as they stared down at me. They started swaying side to side together for at least a minute. I screamed "STOP! Leave me alone." They came to a hault, and all leaned in close to me. As my eyes fixed on the ones that were in front of me they opened their mouths to a length no human could do. Inside of their widened mouth a black substance came out slowly. They all spoke "You will come!" and then the shadows dissapeared into the ground.

I held my head up to the black sky relieved that the nightmare was about to end, but I was wrong. The ground beneath me started cracking, and shaking. Then everything around me fell into a fiery abyss. I hesitantly looked over now the edge of a rock, and gasped in horror at what I had seen. It was hell itself, and it was a long way down. I quickly moved my head from the view. I had squezzed my eyes shut so tight it hurt. My hearing enhanced as I heard wailing of sorrowful voices. Suddenly the rock was being lifted off the ground by an unknown force. Something laughed with a booming voice. Opening my eyes I saw the Devil, and he was giant. I was an ant compared to his large size. Looking up at him in fear his horns were twisted up right, his slanted eyes were fiery red, and his mouth was a meniacle grin that was fiery red on the inside. His skin seemed to look like molten rock, with cracks that had fiery red on the inside as well. I now noticed he was holding the rock. The ground grew extremely hot, so I stood up. Backing back away from his large face I almost fell off, but I balanced myself. I screamed "WHAT DO YOU WANT!" His large voice said in reply "ITS QUITE OBVIOUS! YOU BELONG WITH ME!" Tears began streaming down my face I was absolutely terrified. I couldn't tell if it was a dream, or reality. He gripped the rock tighter making it crumble, and I fell down into his large heated hand. Turning his hand over slowly me, and the rocks were now falling into hell. Face first I was falling, and the heat felt as if it was burning my face off. I heard him once more boom with laughter. "ROSARIO!"

"Rose...ROSE WAKE UP!" I opened my eyes to Sandy. My face was smushed in between Sandy's large hands. We were both on the floor, and my head was in his lap.

"Are you ok?" He wiped a tear off of my face.

I stared at him wide eyed, and then sat up. Everything was back to normal.

"You were having a horrible nightmare. Your face was hot, and you began crying. I tried to wake you up. But you just wouldn't open your eyes. And then you spazzed out falling out of the bed."

I was embarrassed. "I did all of that?" He nodded his head. "What did you dream about?" I looked away from his serious gaze avoiding his question. Sandy came closer, and grabbed both of my hands inside of his. He closed his eyes, and then pulled away. Standing up he helped me up as well. Walking out of the room he said "What do you want for breakfast?" I caught up to his slow yet fast strides. "You're not going to say anything?" He looked back "What do I need to say? Its nothing to worry about."
