Trapped (A Short Story)

I woke up and found myself on a holiday, I didn't know where I was. From where I was standing there was a small house in front of me, probably a cottage. All around the cottage there were trees and it was right in the middle of a small lake. There was a little wooden platform in the lake and on it were my family and cousins.

Everyone was sitting on a picnic rug and eating sandwiches. Hayley (My cousin) was running around, but being the clumsy person she is, she tripped over her feet and fell in the lake. Luckily she knew how to swim and swam up to the little platform.

Nathan (Her brother) and Jess (My sister) had jumped in to help Hayley. While they were helping her I noticed their eyes were now like Hayley’s.

My eyes flew open and I found myself sitting up in my bed. I then decided that what I had just seen was a dream. I closed my eyes and slowly drifted back to sleep.

I was now back at the house but it felt different. Like something was out of place or not right. I went inside the house.

The house was fantastic. The furniture was beautiful and new, it looked really expensive. I went through the whole house but no one was there, then I went back outside.

I had a weird feeling. Like when you think someone is watching or following you. The sun was lower than it was then when I entered the house but it was dusk so that was to be expected.



All of a sudden I felt a searing hot pain in my neck. Then I felt something wet slowly dribble down my neck. I started swaying a little but I didn’t want to. I touched my neck and felt something wet and sticky, I took my hand away to see what was there.

My hand was covered in a red liquid. It looked like wine or paint but that couldn’t be right. It had to be something else. But what could it be. I fell to the floor and looked down at my shirt.

Moving my neck was like sticking a hot needle in your eye. My shirt was covered in that red liquid. Blood!! That’s what the red liquid was. I felt myself slowly slipping away. My eyes slowly closed and everything went black.

This is my first story. I will put something else up soon but I'm not sure when.
