Battlefield of Changes

Nightmare

I was walking down a white corridor. White walls, white carpet, nothing more, nothing less. Every time I turned a corner there was just more long corridors.

No matter how far I went, how fast I ran, it never ended!

I had to run. It felt like something was following me, that I could see a familiar face in the corner of my eye, but couldn't turn round or recognise who.

After running around the corridors for what felt like an hour...

I stopped. My heart was racing and I was panting. A thin layer of sweat coated my forehead.

I placed my hands on my knees and caught my breath for a swift moment.

I carried on, but the further I went, the more narrow the corridor began to be but I couldn't turn back. I don't know what it was but it felt like there was something behind me. Something I couldn't bring myself to look at so I just kept going.

I turned a corner for what felt like the millionth time but stopped dead in my tracks.

At the other end of the narrowing corridor was a red door. It reminded me of the one that was on the front of my parents house.

I slowly approached it, still panting from the endless running.

Suddenly I heard a voice scream and it made my heart skip a beat.

"HELP!" It was my Mum.

"Mum!" I cried running to the door!

"PLEASE HELP ME IT BURNS!" I ran to the door desperately trying to open it but it was locked.

"Mum I'm here wait I'm coming!" I was screaming and crying by this point.

I continually slammed the side of my body against the door but it wouldn't budge.

I gave up. I took a step back in tears and shock.

I heard the click of the lock, as if it was opened from the inside. I swung it open, only to see a room on fire!

My mum was standing on the other side of the fire!

"Mum! Dad?!" I saw my Dad knelt over my mum, like he was the day they died.

"Honey watch out!" Mum screamed, pointing behind me!

I turned to see the evil grin plastered on my uncle's face. He gave me a nudge into the room before slamming the door in my face and locking it again.

I heard an ear piercing scream and whipped my head back round to face my parents.

Thick, black smoke filled the air as the flames quickly approached me, engulfing the small, dark room.

"Where are you?! I can't see you?! Mum?? Dad?!!"

There was no reply so I started banging on the door.

"HELP! HELP ME! SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP I'M GONNA DIE!"

"AAAAARRRRGGGGHGHH" I screamed as I sat up in bed taking one huge breath.

I was out of breath and sweating heavily with tears running down my face.

"Marie?!" Ryan cried as he entered my half of the tent before throwing his arms round my waist and shoulders, pulling me into his chest and placing his chin on my head.

"It's alright. I'm here" he said as I put both my hands on either side of my head. I couldn't catch my breath no matter how hard I tried!

"What's going on are you ok?!" Mike said rushing into the te to.

I couldn't reply. I tried but no words came out and I was still crying with sweat on my forehead.

"I think she had a nightmare." I heard Ryan say.

Mike crouched down in front of me. "Marie? Marie what happened?"

I wrapped my fingers in my hair and began to pull it as I began to sob even more.
Ryan held me tighter and my breath began to steady.

By this point, Mai Lee, Tee and Jody were all in my tent too.

"Was it another panic attack?" Asked Jody.

"I don't know" Ryan stated.

"Can you all just leave?" Mike asked. "We've got this under control."

Mai Lee lead everybody out, then Mike spoke again.

"Marie, I need you to tell me what happened."

"My parents...burning...my uncle..." I mumbled between breaths.

"Your uncle? Mike asked, suddenly worried.

"He killed them...he pushed me..." I broke down in tears again.

"Ok ok calm down. We will talk about this tomorrow. Try and get some rest yeah? Ryan, stay with her and look after will you?"

"Always" Ryan said.

Mike shot him a grin before rubbing my back and leaving.

Without letting go of me, Ryan got into my spare blanket and laid us both down. I could feel his chest moving up and down against my cheek and hear the gentle potter patter of rain on the edge of the tent.

After a while, I fell back to sleep.

A/N

So I thought I would do a nightmare scene to try and introduce some future storylines and drama.

I also slipped in a bit of the hunger games at the end there, top banana if you noticed it.

Anyway, keep reading and thank you so much for voting as it honestly means so much to me to feel appreciated.
