i frantically ran into the trees, that thing  following behind me and getting closer every step i took. it smelt rancid, and the sounds it made were absolutely terrifying, the excruciatingly shrill sound ringing through my ears. it let out another roar, causing me to scream and close my eyes, and stumble over a large tree root that had grown out of the damp soil. i fell to the floor, and tried to crawl away, the monster nearing my feet. i couldn't get up, my legs wouldn't move anymore, and it finally caught me, it's long claws digging into my flesh as i let out a pained scream. 

"help! somebody please!" i yelled, hoping anyone, anything else apart from this thing was nearby.

i was flipped onto my back, and the animal was opening it's jaw, and leaning towards my tear stained face, before it wrapped around my head.

"eddie! wake up! eddie wake up you're okay!"

i sat up frantically, and pushed my body to the bedframe, shaking violently. 

"shhh you're okay, it was just a bad dream." y/n's gentle voice drifted through my ears, calming my shaking figure.

"i'm here hun." she said, running her soft hands through my hair. 

"i-it felt so real,"  i stuttered shuddering at the thought of the dream, by now the adrenaline of my nightmare had passed, and my body started to ache again, i hissed as tears spilled slowly from the corners of my eyes.

"hey hey, lay back down, i'm gonna get you some painkillers alright?" y/n said, taking her hand from my head and leaving the room, to get said painkillers. 

i'd had that dream multiple times in the past few nights, and each time the monster kept getting closer and closer, but that was the first time it had caught me, i had felt trapped, i couldn't move, no matter what i did my frail body had refused to move. surely that wouldn't actually happen, right? my body would move if i was in a life threatening situation. 

the sound of y/n's footsteps making her way up the stairs snapped me out of my thoughts, and brung my attention to the slightly open door, a shadow seeping through the crack of light. but it wasn't y/n's i saw that monster 

"nonono please don't hurt me," i whimpered, bringing shaking hands up to cover my eyes.

"eddie? it's just me." 

my heart dropped, i needed to calm down, i was thinking that someone i loved was going to hurt me? i was getting out of hand.

"i'm sorry, i-i thought you were-"

"something else, i know. but you know its me now, so just breathe."

i mustered up a smile and looked up at the girl who was stood next to the bed.

"here are the painkillers," y/n said, passing two white pills to me, before grabbing the glass of water she had filled earlier and watched me put the pills into my mouth before handing it to my slightly shaky hand. i took the glass gratefully and poured some of the liquid into my mouth, and swallowing. 

"those will kick in soon hm?" the e/c girl said, taking the half full glass from my figure. "do you want the lamp on?" she asked.

i nodded, slightly embarrassed by the child like request. light flowed into the room after a quiet click from y/n switching the lamp placed on the dresser echoed through the nearly silent space.

y/n then sat at the foot of my bed. she stared at the ceiling for a minute, and i couldn't help but admire how her soft hair flowed down her shoulders, and how her fragile figure sat almost perfectly infront of me, 

"you're so beautiful." i muttered.

"oh eddie." y/n cooed, making eye contact with me. "thank you handsome." she smirked slightly, before looking down.

"shit! your ankle! eddie what happened?!"  

i craned my neck to be met with a bloody mess at the end of my leg. right where i had been grabbed in my dream. my eyes widened as i began to panic,

"eddie what's happening?" y/n's concerned voice rang through my ears as she raced to grab my slightly bigger hand.

"my dream" i sputtered. "th-the thing in my dream."

"i'm sorry eddie but i don't understand." y/n continued.

"the th-thing in my dream g-grabbed me."

as y/n caught on her eyes widened drastically.

"so, you're saying that thing in your dream, grabbed your ankle? and it... pierced the skin in your dream, which made you get the same wound you now have on your ankle?"

i nodded solemnly, accepting the fact, that by sleeping in my own bed, with people i loved nearby. i might even die. my life had been ruined, and it was just starting to get better, i'd found someone to love, and she'd been the light i needed in my life, and now i was going to hurt her, and myslef, by leaving this world against my own will.
