Huff, Huff, "I'm almost there." I say to myself between rough breaths. I look back and stop dead in my tracks. the figure, is gone. Have i been running from nothing this entire time, or did the figure just leave. I don't care at the moment I turn around and run without stopping. Once I get to the school I am greeted with an upset Kory. I don't care how mad she is, I run up to her and hold her tight with no intention of letting go. "Ok who are you, and what have you done with Rose." I just giggle and hug her tighter.
...
I am asleep on Kory's room floor when I hear a noise. I can't tell what it is, it's probably just a cat, but I'm a little scared anyways. I sit up and look around although I can't see anything in the pitch black room, but I can tell something is moving in the darkness. "Kory?" I say wirely into the darkness. "Kory, is that you? c'mon dude this isn't funny!" I get up and walk to the bed, I have to squint to keep from bumping into everything. I look on the bed, but there's no kory. Then I'm terrified. "Kory, Kory, where are you!?" I search frantically for the lights. Splosh, I step into a puddle in front of the lightswitch. I swiftly flick it on, and I see red. Not the type of red that you color santa's coat, no this was blood red. I look down to find that the puddle is blood. I step back but slip and land on my behind. I look to the door to find a frightened kory. She's staring at something behind me, I turn my head and,
I start to scream. Kory is screaming too. I sit up and look around,with a sigh of relief I flop back. there's no blood in sight. "Dude, what the heck is up with you?" Kory almost yells.
"He he, it's nothing, just a nightmare."
"Just a nightmare, you woke up screaming, that never happens!" Kory says angrily.
"I'm sorry, it won't happen again."
"It better not," sigh "well since you're up let's get somethin to eat." Kory states in an almost whisper.
"k, I'm coming"
"Hey Rose, what exactly was your dream about?" Kory asks curiously. So I tell her exactly what was in my dream.
...
It's almost 8:00 pm when Kory calls to see if I could have another sleepover. My mom says yes like she always does. So I'm at Kory's, laying on her floor like I always do when I'm at her place, but something isn't right. I sit up and I hear a noise, the same noise I heard in the dream. My eyes go wide. it's happening again. Maybe if I'm quick I can save her, I think to myself. I feel around for my bag and pull something hard from inside of it. I get up and walk to the lightswitch. No puddel this time, but I still have a bad feeling about what's going on. I flick on the lights and look back to see kory's mom's mangled corpse. Her legs are bent in ways I thought impossible, arms bent back to the point that they look like the handles of a wheelbarrow, but her back is still straight, but it doesn't look normal, it looks like there's a stick in her back holding it straight. I fall to my knees and watch in horror as the shadowy figure moves to the window and leaves. "Rose," Kory says in a terrified voice, "Rose, what happened? who did this to her!?" she yells with tears streaming down her face.
"I don't know," I answer reassuringly while hugging her " I don't know."
