Grayson Knight-Campbell
I finally fell asleep around midnight after reading several articles online and watching videos about people's experiences with witchcraft.
I found myself at the Prom at school, dressed in a beautiful gown and dancing with Tendai. We were both crowned Prom Queen and Prom King, respectively. Everyone around us was happy, celebrating the night. Suddenly, a large snake fell from above. The crowd screamed and scattered in different directions. Mae, Andrew, and Jensen were the only ones who stayed calm.
Mae, Andrew, and Jensen tried to kill the snake, which was a cobra and raised its head menacingly. It bit Mae and Andrew and pushed Jensen away with its tail. The snake then attempted to wrap itself around Tendai, but his clothes were too slippery. Tendai transformed into Kemi before disappearing. The snake turned towards me, but Grayson appeared out of nowhere and killed it. He then removed the crown from my head.
I woke up with a start; the dream had been so vivid it felt real. I turned on the light and went to my parents' room, knocking softly before entering. My knock had woken Mom up.
"Mom, I had a nightmare!" I exclaimed.
I recounted the dream to her. "Ade, we need to pray," she said urgently. "There's an attack on your life. Someone wants to hurt you! This girl who put a rat in your sauce—how well do you know her?"
I told her more about Kemi and what her mom had told me.
"That woman is dangerous. How could she threaten you? You're just a child!" Mom said angrily. "I will give her a piece of my mind when I see her. I want you to pray every night before you sleep and stay far away from this girl Kemi and her boyfriend."
Mom and I prayed for some time. Afterward, she told me to go back to bed. I couldn't sleep anymore, so I decided to watch some YouTube videos until it was time to wake up.
As I showered in the morning, I couldn't shake the memory of my dream. Why was I with Tendai in it? I found him attractive, but I knew he was out of my league. I decided it was best not to mention the dream to anyone—they might think I liked Tendai. The most important thing was to avoid Kemi and her crew at all costs.
