The Wicked Hearted (Ouat Peter Pan)

Chapter 3 - Night Terrors

Nothing could wake me up, no matter if the academy set on fire, if I heard screams of pain, or even if my father was dying. It was that moment that I knew it was going to happen, and I was scared, scared of what I was going to see. No one knows how it feels, to see things that I have seen, to never want to go to sleep because of it. You need to experience it, need to know how it works, how you can't do any thing to stop it.

I saw black, and that was it. Just a little candle light in view with darkness surrounding me, almost... closing in on me.

I grabbed the candle and looked around me, seeing if I could find a way out of the reached place I was in. I walked at least two paces and then stopped, I saw a door with no handle. Resistantly, I lightly pushed the door open with the tip of my fingers, and the door opened.

I walked out of the room with lots of hesitation in me, knowing that it wouldn't end until I went through the door and saw what was behind it.

I felt my heart stop in my chest as I saw a dark forest with only the moon and stars as a resource of light. I could still see clearly, but not as well as I usually could in the light. I looked behind me to try and see if I could go back through the door so that this would be all over. But when I saw what was behind me I was startled, the door was gone and at that point I knew that their was no going back.

While looking in that direction I could see a big cliff that looked like it never ended, and seemed like it touched the heavens. If you jumped off that cliff, it would take so long for you too hit the ground that you could replay your whole life in slow motion.

Suddenly I heard yelling, I turned around to see people running toward me. I just stood their, stunned, by no time they reached me and a bunch of them grabbed me. They started to pull me toward the water and I struggled, and struggled, and struggled, trying to get free from these people.

I felt water on my feet, then ankles, then my knees, and to my stomach, chest, neck and then chin. They tried to pull me under, and I tried my best to resist. The water soon reached my mouth and I was breathing with my nose, and before the water covered my nose I took a deep breath and held it.

The water was surrounding my entire body now, all there was was water, nothing but water. It was just that moment when I felt something grab my garb and lifted up. All that I saw was forest green eyes looking into mine with great grief.

"Wake up!" Was all that I heard. It sounded like faint talking, but somehow I knew that they were screaming. "Wake up!" I heard the person scream again.

Startled by the yelling, I shot up. I saw three people looking straight at me, and I felt a tight pull in my chest.
"Wha... what happened?" I asked.

"You tell us," she said, and I had a pretty good idea of what she was talking about. "You were just, screaming, you were asleep, but you were screaming somehow. "Can you tell us why?" She said curiously.

When she asked that question I hesitated to answer. Not wanting to reply, I took a quick deep breath and exhaled. What if they think I'm a creep? I thought. What will they do to me? I guess I'll just have to find out. "Um... I... I have... I mean... I get... night terrors."

"Oh, is that all?" The girl said. "Well I guess that explains a lot." She said to me as if she didn't care, which made me feel a lot better.

"What the hell is that?" The red haired boy yelled at me and Fay. I saw the boy with black hair look at him as if he were a complete dimwit.

Right when I was about to explain, Fay blurted something out before I could. "Night terrors are when people get nightmares, a lot worse than most people, and they get them almost every night." She explained. "People that have them usually are screaming and screaming all night, and they can barely remember anything when they wake up."

"And that's basically it." I finished for her. "And by the way," I said. "What are your names." I said, pointing to the two boys.

One of them blurted out. "Amick, nice to meet you." The red haired boy said joyfully. He held out his hand for me to shake, and I took his hand and shook it.

"Turloe," The boy with black hair said. "And it's very not nice to see you." The boy said peevishly. And with that, he left the room.

Something was tossed into my lap, I realized that Fay had tossed me an army green shirt and pants. "Go ahead and put them on." She said. "If they don't fit the, I'll get you another one."

With that I just stood up, off of the bed, and headed word the door. Right outside of our dorm, there was a door that was labeled Changing Room. I walked into a crowded room with little curtains every where. I guess that I'm supposed to change in one of the little areas. I thought. Well I guess I better find an open one then.

I walked about fifteen yards down the room, pushing through people, until I found an open curtain. I went inside the tiny space before anybody else could. I then closed the curtain and I found a little hook on it, and then another on the wall. I grabbed the hoot on the curtain and attached it to the hook on the wall.

I then took off my nightgown and put on the envy green shirt and pants. When I was done, I unhooked the curtain from the wall and left the tiny space. I walked down the room until I reached the door, and then I turned the handle and walked out of the room.

I walked into my so called dorm and found Fay already in her navy green shirt and pants. And all I said was. "What do I do now?" I asked.

All she did was give a sweet smile and said. "Follow me." And then she walked pass me and walked out of the room. And I followed.
