The Nightmare

I'm falling, fast, what have I gotten into?

I wake up from that "dream" and try to slow my heart beat down to normal. I check the clock, 3:27 am. Ugh, I can't fall back asleep because I now have to go use the restroom. I get up and turn my lights on. Which are next to my bed by the way. I get on my robe and walk out into the hall way making my way into the bathroom. 

I come back to my room about five minutes later and I notice something odd about the scenery in my room. When I left I distinctly remember shutting my door behind my back. I return and its wide open. My door is never wide open. Maybe a sibling also had a nightmare and decided to crawl into my bed. I check the bed, nobody is there. Maybe they left when they didn't see anybody? Who knows all I know is that I am really tired. I crawl into bed and I can't seem to fall asleep. I was never one to fall asleep early so it doesn't bother me any. 

I roll over a few times until I'm comfortable. I lay there for a few minutes while I let my mind clear out. Right as I'm about to start sleeping again I feel my blankets shift positions. I know for sure that its nobody just entering the room because I would have heard my door open again. I turn on the flashlight on my phone and scope out the scenery that is my room. Nobody is in bed, but my door is again wide open. I always shut my door before I sleep because I don't feel safe with it open. I stand up and go to close my door. As I reach out for the handle I notice something peculiar. There are scratches on my arm. I don't think I scratch in my sleep, nor do I remember getting in a fight with my sister lately. Oh well, I just let it go and lock my door so I know it won't happen again. 

I turn back to my bed and notice that it's made. Like nobody has slept in it yet. And another thing is, is that my Ouija board is nicely placed on it. I got that thing for Christmas and I didn't think it was an actual Ouija board because the eye thing needed batteries and it lighted up. The next thing I notice is that while I was staring at my bed the lights must have some how turned on. Weird? I think to myself, but how is this possible. 

The next thing I hear is the eye for the Ouija board. It's moving on its own. Then I see a compression in my bed. It's shaped like, like a hand print! I get freaked out at this point. I go for the door but the handle has decided to flip. Now I'm locked in my room! I scream hoping that somebody will hear me. Nobody. Not a single person decides to hear my cry for help.  Then when I least expect it to both my head lights and Phone flashlight turn off. That's right I have my phone on me! I unlock my phone and go to dial a number. But when I put the phone up to my ear all I hear is static. 

I turn off my phone and sit in the corner. I don't want to cry because that will show I am weak to this thing. It's quiet now. No sound can be heard from anything. And there hasn't been any disturbances in the past five minutes. Maybe it all stopped. I don't know, but I'm not going to move for a while to make sure. 

As soon as I start to stand up I get a chill down my spine. Oh no. The next minute I hear something coming from my closet. It sounds like, children laughing. Why children laughing? That's the scariest sound I can ever imagine. I don't want to open my closet door at all. And I didn't half to, it decided to open on itself. I turn on my flashlight and point it towards the door. Nothing odd seems to be happening, but then again I am jinxing myself. 

The next thing I see coming out of my closet is this black smoke creature. It's as tall as my door, thicker than regular smoke, and has beady red eyes. Oh great now I'm surely going to die. The laughing of children gets immensely louder, and louder. So loud I can't hear myself think. I cover my ears, but as soon as I go and touch them I feel a strange liquid. It's not water because it's thicker than that. Yup, just what I thought it was, my own blood. My ears are bleeding. 

The creature is very close to me now. It's inches away, I can feel it. But now I can't breathe. Great it's chocking me, what a night it has been. My vision is going and as soon as it gets black I know I'm done for. 

"Ah!" I sit up in bed. I look out of the window. It's bright daylight. Oh it was just a dream. I get out of bed and put my slippers on. Then I walk towards my mirror.  As soon as I look into it I see the black figure standing behind me. I turn around and nothing. I sigh thinking that it's only my imagination getting to me. Then when I turn around to look in the mirror again something is written on the mirror in red. 

Last night was fun. Let's do it again tonight.
