The Haunting Past

Chapter IV: Nightmare

Gigi suddenly woke up, feeling cold.

she noticed we both don't have the blanket anymore. She glanced at the time.

3:03 PM

Nasaan na ba yun? She thought

Searching for the blanket, she saw Peony on her couch by the floor, sound asleep. Good thing I leave the lampshade on every night during my sleep, it's been my norms. She found the blanket on the floor at the bottom of the bed by our feet. She bent down and reached for it when a pale and cold little hand from under the bed grabbed her wrist, she yelp and uttered a short scream.

'EHHH'

Sh*t ano yun? She said in her mind.

She started panting as nervous came in. Her body made goosebumps and she shivered. Panic arises when she turned to me and saw me still sleeping peacefully. She thought to herself;

Kelangan namin ng kamot, Sh*t bakit ngayon pa lumamig ng ganito.

She's battling whether she woke me up or leave me sleep at peace.

When suddenly she heard a squeaking sound from the bathroom door as it opened all by itself, slowly;

iiiiiirk

Her panting became heavier, anticipating what will happen or who would show up, she almost forget to breath, she took the pillow and buried her face on it and let out a scream;

AHHHHHH! AHHHHHH!

She screamed her lungs out, and cried her heart out but she wondered why I would not wake up. Her body was shaking, her stomach almost turn, she wanted to vomit, when suddenly the sound stops.

She stops screaming too. Puzzled with what's happening and panting continuously, she slowly

held up her head and saw the bathroom door really opened up, she began to panic again, automatically her eyes wandered around the room to see any intruder but to her horror, it wasn't her bestfriend lying on her side anymore, She squealed and moved backwards when she saw a very awful looking woman, dressed in white long gown with blood around her round collar coming from her slit throat, her eyes are flurry red and furious. Regina went wild when the scary and bloody woman reached out both her pale and dirty hands to Regina's neck, her nails are long and sharp.Regina fell down on the floor as she jumped on her butt. She dragged herself backward until her back against the wall. Her hands on her face, Screaming and crying;

'Noooooooo.. Nooooooo..'

She suddenly got up from lying, her eyes bulging, and was catching her breath, she let out a sob, she held her shaking hands to her face. It took her few seconds to finally realized, it was just a nightmare and thank God she finally awake. Still panting, she searched for me on her side and found me sound asleep.

Thank God I didn't wake her up

She mumbled.

She then checked the time;

3:03 AM

Her eyes widen when she suddenly heard a squeaking sound behind her,

her heart beat gone wild, the sound was familiar to her, she started panting again as panic ran down through her vein, she quickly turned over and saw the bathroom door swang open, slowly.. When a pale, dirty and thin hand, with sharp long nails, gripped on the door's edge from the inside.
