Closer

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

"BAM!"

A loud noise wakes me up. My heart is almost beating out of my chest. When I wake up I'm completely lost.

"Where am I??" I ask myself

I have no idea where I am right now. From what I can tell, I am on a cold, concrete floor and the room is dark. Except for a single light about 10 feet away from me. And when was I even asleep? I really don't remember anything. A figure moving by the light caught my eye.

"Oh good, you're awake." The figure says.

"W-who are y-you? W-where am I?" ask stuttering.

"Oh, don't worry. You're safe with me." They say.

I'm really freaked out, and that freaked me out more. I could tell the figure was a guy with a thick Irish accent.

"Come closer to me." He said.

I don't think I should go closer to him. I'm really curious, and for some reason I'm not that scared of him. So I decide to, not having a clue what's going to happen. I slowly approach him, and when I reach him he's turned around with his back towards me.

He then whips around and grabs my arm and bears sharp fangs along with his red eyes. He pulls me in and is about to bite my neck.

"AHH!!" I wake up in my bed in a sweat with my covers half off of my bed. That dream, it seemed so real.

"LILLY!! WHAT'S WRONG?!!" My best friend/roommate, Elle comes running into the room with a baseball bat in her hand, ready to attack.

"Elle, it was just a nightmare, you can put the bat down." I say, still out of breath from that bad dream.

"Oh, well it must have been a pretty bad one." Elle said while sitting next to me in my bed.

"Yeah, it was actually. Was I screaming the whole time?" I asked Elle.

"No, you just screamed when I ran in here. I was still asleep and you woke me up." Elle told me. I could tell she wasn't really happy that I woke her up, but she was glad that nothing had happened to me.

"Oh ok. I'm gonna go get ready now." I tell Elle.

"Ok, I'm gonna go back to sleep!" Elle says while running back to her bedroom.

I take a shower, blow dry and straighten my hair, then I put on my clothes. It was about time to leave for school then. I go to art school on week days. I'm learning to become an artist. I don't bother saying goodbye to Elle because she knows where I'm going and I really don't want to wake her up again. So I just leave our apartment.

We only live about 2 blocks away from the school, so on nice days I decide to walk. It's usually warm here in Los Angeles anyway, so I normally walk to school. As I'm walking down the sidewalk, I see the alley. I've never really gone down there before, but Elle has and she says that it's a shortcut to the school. I'm really tired from that nightmare and I don't feel like walking a lot, so I decide to try it. How bad could it be? But to my surprise, when I walked into the alley, my heart literally stopped beating. It was him.
