Low Lights

Chapter 4

Once i got in bed, i closed my eyes, and emediantly fell asleep. But once i was, i regretted it emediantly. I once again saw the figure, and i woke up again. "I'm getting sick of this! Why do you do this to me, brain?!" But after that, i heard a loud bump again. "Is this a dream in a dream maybe?" But, this was different. I once had a dream inside of a dream, which i tried to hit me, it didn't hurt. But when i tried it now... "Auch! Oh no..." I stared in front of me, not believing what i just realised. "Ghh! HELLEN!!" I snapped my flashlight , and i jumped out of bed. I rushed to my sister's room, and smacked the door open. There it was. The figure, closer to her then before, looking at her while reaching a bit for her with his hand. "HELLEN!!" He suddenly looked at me, with his dead, red eyes. "GET BACK!!" It started to growl, with a mumbling undertone. "Oh no..." It started to charge at me, and i smacked it with my flashlight in the head, which made it dissapear, well... kind of. I woke up, back in bed, while screaming at the top of my lungs. "NO PLEASE!!!" My heart pumped like a madman. My parents didn't come this time, luckely. Because otherwise, i would need to think of it again. And i wouldn't be able to fall asleep annymore, thinking of it a whole night. After that one thought, i fell down in my bed, and fell asleep. The dream was... meh. I can't remember everything, but i can remember that it was something with a broomstick and... no idea what the rest was. I woke up, and felt amazing! I jumped out of bed, and did what i usually do. I grabbed some clothes, and hopped down the stairs. "Well, looks like we have a sunshine today in our house!" "Mhmm!" I answered, before going into the bathroom. I got dressed as the usual, and sat down at the table with a smile. "Looks like you have slept better then yesterday." "Yeah, luckely! Because i can't forget annything about it. I can still hear it." "Hear what?" "That growl..." "Oh... So that's what was in your dream then?" "I wish it was just that." "You'll get over it! Now go get your sister, or she will be late!" "Ok mom!" I goed to my sister's room, and woke her up. "Well, helloww, sleepyhead!" "Mrurhg nuww!" "Wake uuup!" "NUWW!!" "There are donuts if you are in time!" "DUHNUTS?!" My sister jumped out, and rushed downstairs. I arrived after her, with a smerk on my face. "Wait a minute!..." I started lauching. "COME HERE, YOU!!" She ran after me, but got stopped by our mom. "Stop it, and go get ready for school!" "Ok, mom! Tonight, my room, ok?" "Ok!" I winked and go grabbed my schoolbag and my jacket, ready to leave. Once my sister was done, we left for school. "BE CAREFULL!!" "OK MOM!!" And we rushed to the bus stop. "Well, well, well! Look who's here again!" I looked up, to see that guy standing there again. "What?!" I said with an irritaded voice. "Wohohooww! Calm down, whimp! We didn't even get to introduce us yesterday! I'm..." "Do inlook like i care?" He grabbed me at my hoodie, and pulled me towards him. "Do you think you're tough, boy?" "No, i just hate the fact that YOU'RE PULLING MY HOODIE!" I looked at him with an angry look in my eyes. "Ok, ok! Better now?!" "Yes, now bug off!" "And you think we're doing that?" "Hhhhh, just shut up! I'm sick of this tom foolerie!" "Listen, kid! If you think you can talk to me like that, then you're SO WRONG!!" "STOP IT YOU TWO!!" My sister got in between us, and emediantly i stopped. But he thought otherwise. "Look what we have here! A girl!" "What do we do with her, boss?" Said the kid with the smelly, old, worn-off clothes. "What we do with all of them, of course!" He got an ugly smile on his face. But on that moment, i got a strange feeling. The sound of it, didn't sound good, not at all. I took a step to the side, so i was ready for whatever was comming. "What are you going to do, then?" My sister asked nervously, knowing there was somethin wrong. "You know, what we are supposed to do when girls try to defend. Which is..." "ATTACK?!" "Kieth, don't pick my lines!" "Oh, s-sorry boss..." As soon as he said 'attack', something in me triggered. "DON'T YOU DARE YOU!!!" I was starting to charge at them, but my sister cauld me back. Only a few seconds later, the bus arrived.
They better didn't meet me...
