It was November 4th on a dark and stormy night. The sound of thunder had kept Mia awoken Inside of the room that Sam had given her. The recent storms have kept her up and when she slept all she had were nightmares. Every storm made the nightmares worse and more constant. Some about Meredith, some about Sam, but most about Altair. She felt bad. She just, left him. No bye or anything. She was scared of course, she saw what happened to those people he killed and she didn't want that to happen to her. But overall, she just felt bad for him. While she was staring out the window looking at the striking lighting, she hears a creak behind her. She immediately looks towards the sound which is lurking in the dark.
"Who's there?" Mia cried out. Then there's another creak, closer. "Who's there!?" Mia says one more time. She crawls backwards in her bed until she runs into the window hitting her head on the glass. "Ow." Mia says covering her head in her hands to somehow fix the pain. Their happened to be one last creak right next to her bed. When she lifts her head up to see what it was, there was nothing there. Well, maybe there was. She couldn't see because of how dark the room was. She slowly crawls forward to the edge.
She is finally close enough to hear breathing above her. She stands up on the bed to get closer to the breathing like a white girl would. Mia is now probably standing face to face with the creature. Lighting strikes and shines a light long enough for her to find out what the creature was. It was very, very, very, thin. It had sharp teeth and sharp claws. It's skin was basically touching only his bones and the color of it's skin was pitch black. Before Mia could comprehend what the creature was, it pushed her onto the bed with its claws digging into her skin.
She tries to push against it, but she is too weak. Her ribs were burning and now there was blood all over the bed. Which is bad because it will stain and that means if she survives this, she will die to Sam. She snaps back into reality when she is bitten on the stomach by the monster. After it finishing biting her tum tum, it goes for her face in which she blocks with her arm being bitten off instead. Blood started to spill out everywhere and soaked the bed. The monster lunged for her neck and was successful.
Then she woke up sweating up a storm. Speaking of storms, it was storming like hell outside. She looked around to make sure that monster was not in her room. Mia looked at her arm and luckily, it was still there. There was no blood on her bed and her neck and sides were still intact. Mia get's out of bed to go see what the time is. For some odd reason, there is no clock in her room.
Mia walks out of her room wearing only pink underwear and a tank top. It was still dark, so it was hard to navigate to the middle of the hallway. When she arrives to the middle almost falling about ten times, she looks at the clock to see two hands, one small and one big, both glowing like the numbers, so she found out that the time was 4:26 AM. After taking a moment to finish reading the clock, she hears someone walking down the hallway.
"It's 4:30 in the morning. Why the hell are you up?" Said Sam seeming to have woken up from Mia.
"Had a nightmare and I was curious about what the time was. And guess what? It's not 4:30, it's 4:27 in the morning duffus." Mia said defensively.
"Ditto. I had a nightmare about Lilly. That she came back from the dead to haunt me and make me feel horrible. Make me feel like I no longer deserve to live. Like I no longer deserve to have a piece of happiness in my life. What was yours about?" Sam questioned.
"Well my nightmare consisted of my arm being bitten off and me being killed by a weird black creature with sharp claws and teeth. I guess I should have died. But it was a dream, anything could have happened. I probably could have wished it to be gone and it would have disappeared." Mia replied.
"Or you could have done something else. Wink Wink Nudge Nudge." Said Sam jokingly.
"Oh look at the time. Gotta blast. I think it's time to go back to sleep." Mia said walking away disappointed in Sam. While Mia is walking down the corridor to her room, she hears scratching on the window nearby. Mia looked back and gasped. She was so shocked, that she couldn't move a muscle. She didn't dare to blink because of how terrifying it was. Not really. All she did was jump and look over to see a tree branch. Very scary.
Mia finally arrived to her room. She walked in the dark towards her bed to lie down and sleep. But as soon as she laid down, she felt her back get wet. She immediately remembered that she sweat so much it soaked the bed so much she couldn't sleep. She then decided to get fresh clothes on and get a early head start for the day. But she thought it was too early to get clothes on. She thought it was quite hot in the room she was currently in.
She walks down the stairs to the kitchen. On her way, she notices why she thinks is Sam watching tv in the living room near the kitchen. Mia ignores him and walks into the kitchen getting cereal for herself.
"Thought you said it was a good time to sleep?" Said Sam making Mia jump.
"I was going to, but the tv show you're watching woke me up." Mia said trying not to embarrass herself.
"The tv isn't on Mia. It hasn't been on." Said Sam looking confused.
"But, you were watching something. You weren't using the tv? Then what were you using?" asked Mia.
"My phone with earbuds. Now why did you really not go to bed? Scared of the boogeyman coming out of the closet or something? Scared of someone busting open you door and taking you away? Scared of being raped?" Questioned Sam while getting closer to Mia.
"My beds wet." Mia said.
"You peed your bed. Or you masturbated so much you got wet and got your fluids all over the bed. Or you just sweat up a storm and got your bed wet." Said Sam now literally right in front of Mia. She stands a little straighter.
"Ew for one, and how did you know I 'sweat up a storm'?" Questioned Mia.
"Just something I did. I don't know how your body is." Said Sam. Now moving closer to Mia to where he is basically touching her.
"You're weird. I'm done and I'm going to sleep for real. I am getting a blanket and sleeping on the floor in your room and you can't stop me." Said Mia
"You won't." Said Sam backing away from Mia.
"Watch me." Replied Mia walking towards his room.
