That Girl

Kathryn Anne Green

I'm walking down this dark road, with no idea of where I'm going or how I got here. It's freezing cold and very quiet. I hear a sudden creak, a slow dramatic creak. it sounded behind me but I didn't look back, thinking, and hoping, I was just hearing things. I move on, carefully this time, just to be sure it wasn't just some noise from the back of my mind. Then I hear a creak from beside me and I glance, but there was nothing there. I hear fast, noisy creaks going from my left, around behind me, and to my right, somewhat in a crescent shape. Then, it disappears, as if it was just a ghost. A claw-like object runs slowly and smoothly down my back as I feel someone breathing on my neck. I hear a snort, as if from a boar. I shiver and I try to move but I'm stuck, my body just won't work with me. I feel fangs lightly touch my shoulder, and it moves to the center of my spine, the breath on my neck was gone, the claw hooked on the belt loop of my pants. The unknown creature lifts my shirt and licks my back to find a good spot. He found one quickly enough and he slowly bit into me. I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. Then the claw ripped my pants off, making my legs show off my incredible amount of goosebumps. The fangs went down to my hips. I could feel myself bleeding. I squealed quietly since that's all my body would let me do, at this point. He bit stronger and I screamed. He started to tear me apart. Feet, leg, arm, torso... I was just a head at this point. He picked me up and opened his wide, terrifying mouth, showing his purple fangs. He got closer and closer. I closed my eyes and heard my skull cracking. I jumped up from bed. I saw my dresser against the wall. It was only a nightmare. My breathing was fast and my heart beat hard against my chest. After a few moments, I sighed in relief and rubbed my eyes. I got up from the bed, wearing my bra and underwear. I opened my dresser and picked out my Jimi Hendrix shirt and my skinny jeans. As I slide into my clothes, I thought about that weird dream. I realized what the figure was and laughed so hard. It was Ganondorf from Legend of Zelda games. I was on my knees, dying of laughter.

"Kathryn! It's 9am on a Saturday! Can you keep it down a bit, please?"

I groaned. That was my mother yelling. "Yeah yeah, go back to sleep."

"I left a note for you on your door. Let me sleep, damn it, and keep quiet!" I love this woman but sometimes... I get off of my knees and looked at the note. 'There's food on the table for you. I think you'll like it. First, you need to brush your hair and smile at least once. Only then, you can eat. Love you!' I opened the door, after I brushed my hair, and I smelled the air as I walked to the kitchen. I looked at the dish in shock. Mushroom and black olive pizza! Now, I may not be a big fan pizza, especially in the morning, but this is a pretty damn good meal and I don't care what time it is, at the moment. I ate three pieces of it and loved every single bite. I got up from my chair and stretched. Man, I'm glad it's Saturday, instead of Sunday. I have more time to goof off! I went back to my room grab my blanket and my phone when I glanced in my mirror. I'm 5'5, very lanky, with long brown hair and deep, forest green eyes. I shook my head and grabbed my stuff and headed downstairs. This weekend didn't last long, though. Before the blink of an eye, it was already Sunday night. Well, I enjoyed it, at least.
