The Nightmares' Rage

Prologue

I was running around the huge party room that my lady boss was holding a convention in, making sure everything was going as it should. It was difficult, but I was somehow managing to keep everything stable, even though none of us could figure out where the mistress went.

As the convention was finally coming to a close the mistress finally came back to say goodbye to all of the people who came. She of course had no explanation for her disappearance, she would just change the subject when asked about it so we decided to drop it.

Later that evening when everyone was gone, and her other workers were cleaning the party room the mistress and I went to pick up her son from his baby sitter so we could put him to bed. I made sure her son had everything he needed to sleep with while his mom tucked him in gently talked with him in her arms until he fell asleep. I was standing by the door waiting for her so I could also be dismissed to go to bed.

"Thank you for your help today. You may go to your bed now. Goodnight." She whispered to me as she walked back towards the party hall. I walked to by bedroom that was one door down from her sons' room. I opened the door and made sure to quietly close the door behind myself so I wouldn't wake up the kid, then I fell onto my bed and slept.

I was woken up by the mistress's child screaming in the middle of the night. I was confused so I got out of bed, exited by room and peeked into his mothers' room. She wasn't in there still, which was very odd for her. Usually she is in bed already with her kid when he gets like this. I walked to her sons' room and turned on the light. Her kid was hiding in a corner of his closet curled up in his blankets screaming and crying. He looked terrified. His mother wasn't there with him either. I started to worry. I quickly went over to the child, he started to calm down at the sight of a familiar face. I stayed with him, holding him hoping it would help him fall back asleep.

"Would you like me to keep the lights on for you tonight?" I asked the boy in a quiet voice.

The boy nodded in reply and snuggled up close to me still crying, but no longer screaming. I stayed with him even after he fell back asleep to make sure he was okay for the rest of the night since his mother still hasn't gone to bed yet.

About ten minutes had passed by when all the lights that were on in the kids' room suddenly went out. I gently layed the boy down on his bed so I could turn the lights back on. While I was running around the room turning on the lights, something felt very dangerous about the darkness. The darkness felt like it would attack us if I kept us in the dark. I turned all the lights back on, and the lights were duller than before. This made me feel even more scared. I sat back down beside the boy, with my arm around him, to keep him safe and so I felt safe too. I looked at the door wondering why his mother hadn't rushed in to save her son from the bad dream he probably just had. She worries about her son a lot if she was in the house, she would of came to him. She hates leaving him alone.

I spent the rest of the night in her sons' room turning on the lights that would randomly go out, and my fear would slowly rise each time I had to turn them back on. The lights just kept on getting dimmer and dimmer until they stopped working. When they stopped working, I locked the windows and the door and hugged the sleeping kid to keep us safe from whatever force was doing this. Thankfully we weren't in the darkness for too long. It was 6:00 AM and the sun was starting to rise. Relived, I fell asleep too...for like 3 hours before her kid woke me up again.

The kid was poking at my face, "Where's mommy? Hey miss maid! Where's mommy?!" I opened my eyes to see the kid ready to start crying again.

"What? She's probable sleeping in her room..." I tell him, still half asleep.

"No....Mommy's not there. Where's mommy?!" He started to cry.

"She's not there?" I got up and looked in her room with the kid holding onto my pant leg following me. I opened his mother's bedroom door, and she still was not there. I started to look around the whole house with the kid looking for his mother, but she wasn't in the house and there was none of her things were missing, there was no note, her care and shoes, and purse and phone and keys were all still inside which meant that she didn't leave the house, but she wasn't anywhere in or outside of the house. She just vanished.
