The Dream (One-Shot Story)

"My dream last night had seemed so real, but it was just a dream, right?" she asked herself thoughtlessly.

But it seems like she's still inside it, running away from that person who was trying to kill her—her heart was still beating so fast.

She calmed herself down, tried to not think about what her dream was and tried to fall back asleep.

She woke up the next day as if she didn’t have a bad dream last night.

Her day went by and nothing weird happened.

She, Claudia, went straight home to grab her things for their weekend getaway with her friends.

*ring* *ring*

“Hello?” Claudia answered
(Hey baby you ready? I’m right outside) Asked her boyfriend, Blake.

“Alright I’m coming” she said to him and went outside

“Hi baby” she greeted her boyfriend and kissed him “so what’s the plan? Are we going to meet them up at the cabin or are we going to carpool?”

“We’re going to be meeting them all up at the cabin”

“Ohh good!!” she said

Minutes have gone by and she fell asleep

“Wtf?? Where am I?” she asked herself “babe??” she called out but all she heard was the rustling of leaves in this cold autumn night “fuck!! He left me!! Such a jerk.” Then she saw a light up ahead the path and started walking towards it. As she came closer to the place where the light was coming from, it started to unravel and it’s a cabin? Or a house maybe? As she reached the door she knocked but no one answered, she checked if the door was locked but it wasn’t so she decided to enter the place.

“Huh this is probably just one of the abandon cabins around here” she said to herself, “it still looks pretty good for an abandon place but it’s creepy as hell in here” she sat in one of the chairs in the living room and took out her phone to call Blake but she couldn't because she doesn't have any service.

Later on she got bored just sitting around, so she decided to tour the house and see if she can find something interesting but she failed because there’s nothing around there, as in nada.

So she decided to walk around thinking that maybe she can find another cabin and get some help and plus she’s already hungry.

The path and the light that was coming from her phone was her guide and because she’s used to camping she does not feel any fright except for tonight she feels unease, she feels like there is something wrong with this place and yet she pushed that feeling away and went on with her cabin hunt.

After a few minutes of walking she feels like something or someone was following her.

She kept on walking and didn’t mind it.

A few more minutes have gone by and that eeriness that she’s feeling is still in the air then she looked back to see if someone was there but the next thing she knew she was on the ground and her face was in pain.

The person that hit her grabbed her hair and pulled her upwards. Claudia reached for the person’s hand that was pulling her hair and tried to get away from the person’s grasp. “Let go of me!!” she shouted
