One night...
I dreamt of something strange. I was in this creepy place that i can't hardly recall, all i remember was the sky is red, and i'm in the middle of a forest, the trees around me are all withered, and i felt a cold chill ran down my spine, i really felt it, even though it was just a dream. Luckily, when i looked around, i realize i am not alone, there were few of us scattered around the area, our numbers our like 8 or less, i guess, but... The weird thing is, all i can see are silhouettes, i cannot identify who's who, they're all just, silhouettes.
At the same time, after i analyze everything around me, where i am, who's with me and what the heck am i doing here, i suddenly felt like someone's staring at me from the back, it's like the feeling of having chased by someone that's gonna harm you, and you want to escape, that's the exact feeling i had. After that, the next thing i saw was, all of the silhouettes of the people around me are starting to run away, i wonder if they felt the same way i had, about a person staring at my back, at that time, when they started to run, i felt like i also need to run, of course! Even though they're just silhouettes, i don't wanna be left behind, i really need someone by my side or at-least a person i can see from a distance to shake off a little of this fear i had.
So when i started to run, i don't even know which way to go, i just, ran, following the silhouettes wherever they go, not long after that, i started to feel something strange again, it's as if the thing that i felt a while ago was chasing us, and was catching up already, i can sense it, i think i saw it on my peripheral vision, it's like a shadow of a person. When i saw it, i knew It was not just an ordinary shadow, this person's mouth has a shark like teeth! The creepy thing is, it's teeth is it's mouth! A person's mouth can't be something like that! Damn! The longer i stay in this place, the more it gets creepy and weird. Gotta run faster!
Not long after, i was still running, i caught sight of somewhat like a fence or a wall 50-feet high. My head was really messy, i can't think straight, the only thing that's been crossing my mind that time was, that wall will lead me out of this damn place! So i made haste, because i'm starting to sense that the creature chasing us was only a few meters away for it to catch up.
After a few more meters, here i am at last! At the front of the wall, all i have to do is climb it, i need to hurry up, because most of the silhouettes i saw had already climbed up, and there are only few of us, like 5 or less, and if i don't move, i will be left behind for that creature, so i climbed up. I remember looking down always to see if the creature chasing us would still keep up, upon looking down again, i saw that it doesn't pursue us anymore, instead, it's just waiting there, expecting that maybe someone might fell, so right now i'm safe, feeling a bit relieved. A bit more climbing to go then i'll reach the other side already, and can now proceed.
That's what i thought...
Well, luck is not always on my side, as i was about to reach the surface, thinking that i'm already saved from that damn creepy creature, the person ahead of me who's already standing at the surface of the wall suddenly turned around and looked at me, at first i thought he was going to lend a hand so i could now reach to the surface, but alas! He did the opposite thing he shouldn't do! He was trying to push me off! So what i did was to hug the part of the surface that my hands had reached while struggling not to fall from such a height, not to mention that something was still waiting there. I try to talk to him, but it's no use! I can't even hear my own voice, and all i can see on him was pure-black, his face was already so close to me yet all i can see was a silhouette of him even though he's face is an inch close. Then after all that pushing, i finally fell! Not knowing what to do, i just close my eyes, waiting for myself to fall and become unconscious.
When i opened my eyes, i'm already at the ground, surprised to see that i was still awake after falling from such a height. Then when i got up, i already forgot about the creature that's waiting down here, because of the curiosity i had on the person who pushed me off the wall, so when i turn around... HOLY S**T!!! It was already in front of me! It was a young boy! Looking at me viciously with it's pure-blacked face and shark-like teeth!
"Konbawa! Onee-chan!" Said the boy, with a large grin on his face. Then he pounced on me!
"IIIYYYAAAHHH!!!" I screamed!
At that time, i thought i was really done for! But in a flash, I woke up! I was sweating so much in my bed, when i looked at the time on my phone, it's already 4am, i realized it was just a dream. I sighed in relief. "So much for the horror movies.." I told myself.
I stood up, and tried to open my window curtain beside my bed that was blocking the view outside. "It sure was one hell of a nightmare." I said.
I opened the curtains and looked upon the view outside. Then what i saw, is the creepy red sky again!! My mind was blanked, my only expression was, "W. T. F?!!" What is this?!
After seeing that terrible sight. I rushed into my living room, i leaned on the wall to find the switch to turn on the lights and when i found it, i flipped it, the lights turned on, and it is there! I saw once again! The creature that stalks us in the forest!
"Konbawa, onee-chan!" Said the boy smiling viciously.
Those words that boy uttered again, it stroke fear in me. At that time the creature was already approaching me slowly.
"Stop it please! Who are you?! What do you want?!" I shouted in panic.
After talking to him, the boy suddenly rushed toward me!
"SSTTOOPP IITT!!!" I screamed.
After the boy rushed towards me, everything blacked-out!
The next thing i knew, i was in my bed again! I opened my eyes only to find myself paralyzed for a moment due to shock. I woke up in the same situation, i was full of sweat and when i checked the time on my phone it was already 6am. The sun shined brightly at my face. Even with the curtains on.
"What just happened???" I asked myself.
Then i suddenly remembered!
"Oh my go--!! The boy! the silhouettes! I-i, i'm back am i? This is not a dream isn it?" I asked myself in a confusingly manner.
Not contented with what i saw, i rushed outside to check if i am really back. Upon going outside, a sudden breeze of fresh air confronted me. I felt relaxed... After a short rest, i took a bath and fixed all my things needed for school then i combed my hair in front of our 5 feet tall mirror in my room while preparing to leave.
"Rrgghh..!! I'm really late for school, damn it! It's all because of that stupid dream!" I exclaimed while leaving the house..
