Horror Labyrinth

Part 7

Daniel opened his eyes. The ceiling's pale blue paint was peeling off. Daniel looked around. He looked at his phone next to his bed and sat up. What happened? Daniel grabbed his phone. November 1st. It was all a dream? Daniel looked around. It was. Daniel looked back at his phone. He opened his group chat and read a new message from Felix.
Felix: Hey, I had a crazy dream last night.
Madison: You always do.
Gabriel: Mine was scary.
Lily: I thought mine was real.

Daniel joined in.
Daniel: I had a dream, too.
Madison: We all did.
Gabriel: The same one?
Madison: No, the fact that wea all dream.
Madison: we*
Felix: Well, mine had monsters with claws like Sharpie- the one I named him! It ended when we all fought against this biggg scary mean guy and won. I stood on his head, saving everybody!
Gabriel: Sharpie?
Daniel: Sharpi?
Daniel: Sharpie* T-T
Felix: Yeah, what about it? Don't like the name?
Daniel: No... It's just that I had a similar dream, too. This guy trapped us all in his basement and we had to run away inside lockers to escape Sharpie. Then Madison and Lily went through the wall which turned out to be a door and we all escaped with three keys and were about to fight someone named Tom when I woke up.
Madison: You had the dream, too?
Gabriel: That's my dream!
Lily: We all dreamed it?

Daniel looked around his room once more, confused on whether to feel relieved or disappointed that they never got to fight Tom.
Madison: Everyone, if you can, let's meet in front of that mansion.

"Here." Daniel said. He looked back to where the creepy mansion was supposed to be and stopped. Felix, Madison, and Lily were already there. Gabriel said his parents wouldn't let him come.
The old mansion was being torn down. There were cranes and trucks everywhere with construction people. Madison walked up to one of them. "Hello, miss. How may I help you?" The worker asked. "I'd like to know why you're tearing down this mansion. My uncle lives there and we'd like to speak to him about something." Wow, Madison's such a good actress.
The worker shook his head. "No, sorry, miss. I'm afraid he's not living here anymore. It appears that Tom Fozio has been suspected of a kidnap and murder and the police has asked us to dig up his house."
A kidnap and murder..? "So, he's not coming back?" Madison asked. The worker shook his head. "Not anytime soon, I believe."
Madison returned to the others, beaming. "Looks like it was real after all." Madison said. "Wha- how?" Felix asked, looking from the construction site to Madison. "Kidnap and murder. We're not dead, but we know the truth." She said, "So, let's just be glad to have made it out of there."
"But it was all a dream... right?" Felix said, confused. Madison grabbed his arm and walked towards his home, clearly assuming he won't be able to on his own.
"So, it's over?" Lily asked.
"It's over." Daniel answered. He looked back one last time at the mansion that existed no more. Goodbye, nightmare. And goodbye, horror labyrinth.
