The Nightmares' Rage

Chapter 1

"Wha haa-haa-happnnnd mommyyyyy?!" The boy wailed through his tears.

"I don't know...."

The boy cried more at my reply.

"Um..." This wasn't good at all. The kid was very sad, and I wasn't very good at dealing with this kind of thing. "I'll call the police and they can help us look for your mom."

"okay" The child hiccupped through tears.

I called the police and gave them all the information they asked for. They arrived a few minutes after I had called them, immediately getting started on gathering more information and interrogating everyone that was in the house last night. They had also called the child's aunt to ask if she knew anything about the mistress's disappearance.

After they had finished squeezing whatever info they could get out from me I had called my best friend, Fran, to ask if I could spend a few nights at her pace until this all got figured out.

"Of course, you can stay! Stay as long as you need to, sweety, hell, you can move in if you need to!"

"Thanks, Fran. I appreciate it." I smiled relieved that I'd have a place to stay since the whole house was now under investigation until we've been told other wise.

A few days later with no progress in the investigation I could take my stuff out of the house to move in with my friend. I was told that the other workers there were going to empty the house of everything, which was surprising because I thought that the aunt or some other family member would want to take the house.

Packing everything away was taking longer than we expected with several employees. The sun was setting, but we were almost done packing everything so those of us determined to finish decided to stay the night to finish packing the rest of the stuff.

I picked up my phone and called Fran. "Hey, Fran I'll be staying at the mansion over night to finish packing. We're almost done."

"Okay, I'll come over and help you pack your stuff. I'll be over in a few minutes, see you soon," and she hung up before I could tell her that she didn't need to come.

"...Okay then...extra help is good I guess."

It was now 12:30 A.M. Me, Fran, and four other employees were all that was left in the mansion now.

"So, where's miss's kid staying?" Fran asked me as we were finishing packing my last 2 boxes.

"He's living with aunt now."

"Are you going to start working for her now?"

"No. She already has someone as a nanny for him and enough servants to do everything she needs to have done, so I'm out of a job now."

"Oh, I'm sorry... I'll help you find a new one, okay?"

I smiled. "Thanks." I watched her tape up the last box admiring her. She was just one big ball of kind positivity. It was a shame that most people feared her. She liked to play around with magic and didn't really care who saw her using magic, because she never used her magic to harm anyone or anything, so she saw no need to hide her talent. Anyone who saw her use magic got scared called her an evil witch and would avoid her like a plague.

"What is it?" She smiled at me, noticing me staring at her. "Are you finally starting to fall in love with me?" She teased me with a wink and hugged me.

"Thank you so much for your help. You're the best friend I could ever ask for." I hugged her back happy to have her. I liked hugging her. She was kind of more in the bigger side, so I found that made it more fun to hug her. Letting go of her I said, "So we might as well sleep here and leave in the morning. I'm exhausted."

"Good idea." Fran then, with me still in her arms, sat down leaning against the wall.

It was nice, quiet and peaceful in my soon to be ex-room, with my best friend.
But that lovely moment didn't last long, as the four other employees ran into my room and slammed the door shut, terrified looks on their faces, every one of them paler than the off-white walls of my room.

"What the hell? You all look like you've almost been brutally murdered. What the hell happened? Why you guys so scared?" I asked still sitting in Fran's lap."

"There's a-a- some sort of of of a..... cre-cre-ah-ature in here!" said a slim black-haired man.

"It had glowing white eyes..." Another man said with sandy hair.

The lights in the room suddenly went out again, just like the night the mistress vanished.

A blonde girl peeked out of the door. "It's at the end of the hall..." She whispered with tears in her eyes.

"What?" I got off Fran's lap and walked to the door, while the other four employees ran into a corner, terrified. I peeked out of the door and saw the most gorgeous creature ever.

At the end of the moon lit hall there was a 7-8 foot tall majestic being. It had a head shaped like a human, with six ivory antlers growing out of its head. It had no hair and its skin was a metallic grey. The neck of it was an inch or two longer than the average human. I couldn't tell what the body looked like, because it was wearing a black cloak that absorbed all light that came near it, with a beautiful silver poncho-like collar on top of it.

It turned to look at me. It sensed me stating at it. Its eyes were glowing white, like the moon, illuminating the face. It had high cheekbones and very defined jaw. I was breath taken. As it stared back at me, I could feel how dangerous and powerful this being was. It was not something you wanted to piss off.

'I remember reading about these beings in a book.... this is a Nightmare in it's physical form.' I thought. I felt very drawn to the viscous power I felt coming from it. I had to grip onto the door frame tightly to stop myself approaching the beautiful Nightmare. Bored of me, the Nightmare turned and went to somewhere else in the mansion.

I stepped back, still in awe over what I just saw, and closed the door. "That was a Nightmare." I breathed softly still captured in the beauty and terror of its presence. I leaned on the wall next to the door wondering what would make a Nightmare come here in its physical form.

"A Nightmare?!" The most muscular man of the other four said angrily. "If it's just a nightmare then we can beat it's ass! It can't harm us if we're not scared of it!" He then grabbed a baseball from, god knows where, and marched to the door.

"Yes, it can hurt you!" Fran pulled him back. "These Nightmare are hell of a lot more powerful than us! Or safest option is to stay in this room until morning!"

Mr. Muscles shook Fran off. "I'm not scared of some lame nightmare!" With that said, the other three seemed to have taken his side, grabbed some random objects to fight with and marched out of my room with him.

"SHOW YOURSELF" I heard one of them shout from a distance.

"Those idiots." Fran sighed

"They clearly have never watched a horror movie before. Should we try to save their dumb asses?"

Fran just walked out of the room clearly frustrated with the four dummies.

"That's a yes." I told myself and followed her out of my room and into the darkness of the mansion.
