My Nightmare Story

The Festival of "Them"

We reached the festival and quickly forgot about the warning. We enjoyed ourselves for hours and hours. I didn't even expect that I would enjoy the province. For I have always hated it due to the signal. But, maybe that's why I felt uneasy. I thought that I would be bored to death.

Walking around we saw a hallway that gave an eerie vibe. As we look we saw a door at the end we wondered why are there no other doors. So, we walked over and peeked to see what was at the other side of the door.

There stood in shock and horror. Never in our life we would've imagined seeing people nailed upright on the cross while there are bodies piled at the side. That sight made me want to vomit but I stopped it. I whispered to my friends and prof we that need to escape now. As, we walk silently a person who is from the community saw us walking out of the hallway. With that he shrieked loudly and the happy people we once saw turned into dark shadows. Thus, we hurriedly ran for our lives. Sadly while running Prof x accidentally tripped on his shoelace so he got caught. And, our two friends who were the slowest runners in our group Mary and Ken was also caught by the shadow figures. No matter how much we wanted to help them we knew that we had to keep running. We ran until their voices faded away from the distance and we reached the woods.

In the dark woods we wandered and wandered around until we saw a wall. We went close to it hoping to be saved. There was a hole in a wall so we decided to peek first and see if it is a safe haven at the other side. I was the one who check first. Little did I know what awaited me was horror not a sanctuary. There I saw the crosses being cut down as they remove the old bodies and replace them with my 2 friends and prof. I suddenly backed away and vomited to shocked to even moved. My other friends sat me on a rock as they peek. At this point everyone was too scared and shocked to speak. My friends cried with me but what caught my attention was Rose's tears it was not the normal kind. But, my voice won't come out even when I wanted to.

We wandered around again aimlessly no one had the courage to talk after the incident we saw. Exhaustion and the starvation was getting to us. I looked at my watch and realized it was already 4 am. While walking we saw a dark figure kinda like 8 feet away from us. We stood still in fear as the thing ringing in our minds are they found us. The dark figure went closer and closer. We started to run  again. We ran and ran but it caught up to us and yelled "STOP!" And we immediately froze.

*all of us turns*
Me: Y-your the cloaked man yesterday?
Cloaked man: *nods*
Harry: *grabs the cloaked man and stares at him angrily* YOU KNEW IT RIGHT? YOU KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN!
Jc:*comforting Rose*
Rose:*standing still and not saying anything*
Me: Calm down Harry. Let go and let him talk.
Cloaked man: Follow me first you must've been exhausted.
*Everyone nods and decides to follow him*

It was strange we had a feeling we could trust him. He led us to a tunnel. While walking for like hours we saw some light. I felt some uneasiness it has been like years last I saw a warm light. He noticed my uneasiness as he faced me while still walking. He told me to calm down. With the small light I saw his lower face as he smiled at me. Calming down I nodded and faced front. Few minutes later, we reached the group. They were scary at first but then when they saw us and the cloaked man they were all very happy. They kept hugging us and asked if we were fine. And they told us they will help us. I have never felt this warm for a while even if it was just less than one day. We had a mini celebration for our escape. After that we were made to go to the rooms for us. They said there are many rooms since they do not know how many more people will be chased by "them". They told us to rest well and there will be a meeting when we wake up. With that I went to my room. They also carve the names at the side of the room then just told me to go to the one with my name "Vanilla" on it. After going in I slumped down on the bed and drifted off to sleep.
