A Bad Dream

"HELP, PLEASE HELP ME! HAVE MERCY!"

The man was not listening, He had dark curly hair, and his face was distorted. Slowly, one by one he started peeling the girls fingers off the edge of the cliff with no sympathy.

"Don't worry, you will be with your family soon!"

The man said, as he peeled the last finger stoping the girl from falling.

"In hell!"

"Aughh!" Clara woke screaming, she was dripping with sweat and her bed sheets had been kicked everywhere violently. Lucy was sitting next to the bed with a scared expression plastered on her face.

"You had one of those dreams again didn't you, the one about your sister? "

"Yes," Clara admitted still trying to catch her breath. Lucy had strait red hair that went down to her waist. She had a thin pale face that was bombarded with freckles. Clara on the other hand, had wavy brown hair, brown eyes and a youthful tanned face. Clara and her sister Rachel had been living in the Spenser's house for five months together since Clara and Rachel Watson's parents had died. It was a tragic event for Clara but her life became even more dreadful after the death of her sister.

"Do you want to talk about it?' Lucy asked sympathetically.

"No, i'm ok," Clara said. she was very bad at lying and Lucy knew that too. She dared not mention it again, she knew it made Clara very emotional.

"It's just, I just keep getting this feeling that i'm the cause of her death."

"That's impossible Clara and you know that."

"I know, " Clara mutters avoiding eye contact with her best friend.

"Breakfast is ready," Mrs Spenser yelled from down stairs.

"Coming mum, are you coming Clara?"

"No, I'm not hungry, but I think I will take a tour."

The Wooden Doors

When Clara's parents died, she would not go anywhere except the kitchen and her room. But after her sisters death she had to have her food brought to her room. Clara put on a pair of jeans, a black mid drift and a pair of vans. She tied her long brown hair up into a high ponytail and put her usual bit of makeup on. The Spenser's house was in the middle of nowhere, literally, they were surrounded by trees and forests, and there was no one around for miles. Clara found the nearest torch just in case it got a bit dark, and then started decended the old wooden stairs. Clara was glad she brought the torch, it was dark as soon as she reached the bottom. She started by making her way down the corridors. The doors were all dark and wooden, but they had a beauty to them. They had carvings of mythical creatures and far a way woods. Clara could not take her eyes off them, they seemed familiar, but she was not quite sure why.The first door let to a bright pink room with golden lining. There was a cupboard in the right hand corner, and a shelf with delicate, but beautiful ornaments on the left. This had to be Lucy's room, it suited her. The next room was a dark blue and black painted room. It was decorated with posters and achievements. this was the room of Lucy's brother Nick. The third room Clara tried to enter was locked. Clara tried to peek through the key hole, but it was no good. It was pitch black. She sighed and started making her way back down the corridor when "Clara, their coming, the prophesy, it is our last hope." Clara stopped and slowly turned around, but no one was there. it was as if the message had been projected through the breeze. Clara listened carefully, "please,hurry." The voice belonged to a woman, it was said load and clear but it was a whisper. Clara followed the sound of her voice and stopped out side the locked, wooden door. a light flickered through the key hole. She put her eye to it to see where the light was coming from when all of a sudden the light shone bright filling the corridor. Clara backed against the wall trying to stop the light from reaching her eyes. "Clara, are you ok?" she opened her eyes to see Nick standing the opposite end of the corridor with confused and worried look spread across his face. Clara looked back at the key hole but the light was gone. "yes, I'm fine." she said softly and started making her way back down the corridor towards her room, leaving Nick staring after her.

Surprise Outside The Door

Creek, Clara woke with a startle. "no, it must be my imagination, no one would be walking around the house at this time at night." Clara thought to herself. Even though it was her own words she did not believe it. Creek, there it was again, but this time closer. Creek, there it was a third time, but this time right outside her door. Slowly, but steadily Clara hopped out of bed, and headed for the draws. she took the knife that was hidden amongst her clothes and headed back to the bed. But it was too late, a dark, cold voice came from behind the cupboard. A sniff from under the desk. A groan from under the bed... and then a creek from behind the door. The men surrendered from their hiding place and starter crowding around her.all of them had armour as if dressed for a fight. They all took out their weapons, now they were all about three feet away. Clara had never been more scared. she was shaking and was too nervous to lift the knife. Clara knew she was going to meet her death. the man closest to her raised his gun and put a finger to the trigger. Clara shoved her hands over her head, scared but prepared she waited. There was a bang. Clara opened her eyes expecting to she her family waiting for her on the stairway of heaven, arms open in welcome. But instead, Nick was standing there while the man lay motionless on the ground The window was smashed and Clara suddenly realised that Nick must have pushed the gun away from her direction. She suddenly felt a rush of affection towards Him.

"You have a lot of nerve showing up here, didn't you think her protector would be every where she was? or didn't you learn your lesson?" the guy that had been behind the door looked down at his hand and cringed. Clara noticed that his hand was missing two fingers. He reached for his sword that lay at his side and aimed a strike at Nick, but Nick was too quick for him. he dodged the sword and reached for his own, and they started duelling. "Your getting better Nick," the guy said "pity though, wasting talent like yours." He raised his sword and slashed a cut through Nicks arm. blood dripped down his arm, Clara could see he was in pain but he kept his concentration. " think how much you could accomplish if you joined us, we would work well together."

"In your dreams Malek," Nick managed to say through breaths. they were both dripping with sweat now and exhausted. They both had several cuts, but not one was going to step down. While Nick was holding off Malek's sword Malek took another one from inside his sock, and slashed it across Nicks chest. "NICK!" Clara screamed and ran over to his aid as he fell to the ground.

" Aww, look. his even got a girlfriend, and a very special one at that." Malek remarked. the other guys sniggered. Nick slowly sat up and reached for his sword, but Malek kicked it farther away. "Which one is she, or is she the one?" at this point Clara was very confused. Malek reached forward forClara's face.

"Don't touch her," Nick said while slapping Malek's hand away from her face. "Defensive, you have got to learn to control yourself nick. You might accomplish more things that way. " Malek remarked with a smirk that made his dry lips crack and split while revealing crooked yellow teeth.

Confused explains it all

Without thinking her plan over properly, Clara ran for Nick's knife while Malek was still destructed. "Nick!" she screamed while throwing him the knife
