"Mummy?" I started to run towards where she was standing. "I can't believe that it's you!"

As I got closer I saw some one step out in front of her. Oh, oh no. Was that him? How? How is he here? It was then that her face changed to sorrow, I had seen that look before, too many times. Then, I watched her slowly disappear. I was left again. I was alone with him standing in front of me, I made sure that I watched him closely. I watched as his eyes turned from a vibrant green slowly fading in to darkness, I watched his expression change from happy, loving and caring too sad and evil. His eyes stared at me it was as if he was completely soulless.

The more I looked at him the more he changed, his face that was once tanned was now grey and pale, his eyes were a complete shade of black now. As I was standing still looking at him. I thought I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I glanced but saw noting just emptiness, I turned back and noticed that he was walking towards me, well I say walking he was hovering, wait hovering? I seemed to be paralysed with fear, I couldn't move I didn't even dare try. I couldn't understand what was happening. My eyes flicked from his face to his hand, he was holding it up, trying to reach me. I still couldn't move at all I tried to shout out for help to scream to make any sound at all, but there was nothing at all, I couldn't even make one sound.

His face suddenly changed again, as if someone had simply flipped a switch, he was now looking at me with more intensity, an evil stare plastered across his face, a stare that sent shivers throughout my entire body. It's something I had only ever seen in a horror movie. Panic began to rise, my heart was beating faster and faster, as he got closer and closer to me. I tried to look around to see if I could find an exit or a way to just be able to get away from him. I looked at every single wall and every corner that was around me, I could see nothing, nothing at all. I was about to give up when something caught my eye, again, there was a small light coming from the corner of the room. I turned back only to find that he was quite close to me, he was now so close that if he were to take a leap he would be able to touch me.

I closed my eyes as tightly as I could, just wishing that I could just get away from this nightmare that I seemed to be trapped in. I snapped them open when I heard a whisper, it seemed to be familiar? As if it was calling my name? I looked around frantically searching to see if someone was there, someone that could help me, but there was no one. I looked back at him once more and he was within arm's reach of me now, but he looked scared, was he able to hear the voice too? His eyes glanced around the room, before landing back on me for one last time, he shot forward. He didn't touch me, as I had expected him to, no he just went right through me, I screamed, it surprised me that this time sound was able to escape from my mouth, I sunk down to the floor, clutching my chest, the pain surged through my body.

As I lay and thought about what was happening I started to feel the pain increasing and spread even further. My head began to throb and I started to feel light headed I couldn't seem to keep my eyes open now. In an attempt to keep my eyes open, I tried to sit up but soon failed, trying again I fell down once more, this time hitting my head hard on the concrete, everything seemed to go black. I could still hear a voice, I knew what they were saying now, it was my name over and over again, it still seemed to be so familiar but I don't know why. I began to feel my shoulder being shaken, I tried desperately to open my eyes but I couldn't.

The voice stopped abruptly, then the hand left my shoulder. My eyes shot open, I found that I was still in the same room, in that same room on my own, where is he? I know that this could not be a good sign at all. I managed to sit up this time, I winced as the pain in my chest was still present, it did seem to be getting a little better, even though my chest was getting better, my head was in even more pain than before, I held my head in my hands shutting my eyes. I took some deep breaths.
