Watching you

The Dream

After wallowing in self-pity for a few hours I feel asleep.
I wish I hadn't. I had a dream, well more like a nightmare. It was about Tyler and the random stranger who texted me.
This is what happened:
I was walking with Tyler in a park. It was beautiful there! The grass was green and covered with dew drops that glistened in the afternoon light. In the distance there was a tall tree with a small rope swing hanging from the highest branch. Tyler and I walked over to the swing. I sat down and he began to push me slowly at first then he started to push me harder and higher. Soon enough I could tough the branch with rope rapped around it. Time seemed to speed up and before I knew it I was at Tyler's house with his family. I had the same feeling that I did outside the school : someone was watching me. Closely.
I made me feel very uncomfortable. Even though I was pressed up against Tyler on the couch, I felt incredibly insecure. I looked around the room. It was exactly the same as it was in reality. All except for one thing: there was blood. Lots of blood. Instantly I felt the room spin and everything became a blur. I heard his sister Kylie scream! Immediately I wanted to help and to see what was happening. Almost right after Kylie screamed, one by one everyone else in the room screamed out in pain. Everyone except me. When the room finally stopped spinning and I regained my vision, I realized I was no longer against Tyler's chest! I was still sitting in his living room. It had light brown walls and clean off-white carpet. They had one four person couch and a leather recliner diagonal for the couch. In the center of the room there was a small black coffee table with clear glass for a surface. Along the back wall that the couch faced they had a large flat screen TV. Upon further examination of the TV I decided to turn it on. I felt my blood run cold. The screen flicked on revealing a room exactly like the living room. But instead of showing me looking at a TV, it showed three bodies. The first body was Tyler's mom lying on the recliner. Her throat was slit and a lake of crimson blood pooled from her neck. The second body was Kylie. Her neck was snapped and her arms and legs laid out in twisted formations. Her body was limp and lifeless. The last body was Tyler's. He was spread across the room. His blood was sprayed across the walls. His torso was in the kitchen. His legs were thrown in random corners. His arms were laying on the couch in awkward positions. And his head was being held by a man. The man was wearing black pants and a white shirt. The shirt was soaked in blood. He had a black hat on that cast a shadow over his face so I couldn't see who it was. In his other had held a sign that read: "I found you Ashley.You'll be mine soon."
I woke up screaming and in a pool of sweat and tears. I heard rustling down stairs and then a loud BANG! I stiffened. "Who is in my house?" I though to myself.

Slowly I rose out of my bed. I tip toed over to my closet and grabbed a baseball bat. With every ounce of courage in me,I krept out of my bedroom slowly. I walked across the hallway to my moms room. There was a lump in her bed which told me she was there. Slowly I walked with my back against the wall. As I approached her bed , my body went stiff. I got goosebumps all over my body. The temperature in the room seemed to drop at least 20 degrees. I inched closer to my mom.
Her back was turned away from me so I couldn't see her face. She was so still. I turned her head to face me and let out a terrible scream! Her face was frozen in the most horrified expression I've ever seen on a person. Her eyes were lifeless and she wasn't breathing.

My mind flashed back out of my terrified mind set and back into reality. I remembered the noises I had heard downstairs and felt a rush of panic come over me.
My hand went to my pocket and pulled out my phone. In an instant I was on the phone with the police department. The dispatcher said " This is 911. what's your emergency?"
"HELP PLEASE! My mom is dead and I hear noises coming from downstairs! Please help me! I think someone's in my house!" I chocked out. After telling her my address she replied "We are dispatching officers to your location immediately! Everything will be okay. Honey, what's your name?"
"My name is Ashley Hudson." I said in a panic. Why the hell did my name matter!? My mom is dead damnit! Where are officers? Why aren't they here yet?
"Okay Ashley, my name is Olivia. I promise everything will be alright just do as I say okay?"
"Okay."
"Do you still hear the noises?"
"Yes! I heard a loud crash and now I hear things moving around!" I half yelled.
"Alright good. Now I need you to go into a closet or a place where you can hide until the officers arrive. Can you do that for me Ashley?" She said calmly.
"Y-yes. I can hide on my moms closet." I stuttered.
"Good the officers are almost there."
