Every night its the same. It starts off the same, and ends the same. Every night.
There is a girl there, long and dark hair. Stunning figure and deadly vibe.

I look into her eyes and see a horrid vision. A vision of hatred, darkness and death. I hear her scream, and that is all. But this time it was different. This time when I woke up, I could hear screams. It was about three am.
The screams were repetitive, an my dog Bailey started barking, So I got up and went out to the porch, I could see a figure out in my back paddock. I pet the canine and unclipped his rusted chain, picked up the closest rifle and quietly snuck up the fence line.

I was trying to make out who the figure could be, when the dog suddenly bolted to the gate, trying to dig under. I called her over and looked closer at the figure at gate of the next paddock. The screams were growing louder, when the sun reflected off a metal object that was lifted into the air. I figured that this was a drastic moment, so I stepped out into the middle of the dirt road and fired a shot into the air to gain the figures attention. I had known that it was the right thing to do, but I was starting to worry when the figure turned around and started walking towards me. Weapon by his side. Blood on his hands.

I looked down at my gun, trying to fix in a new stick of ammunition, when I tripped. I had nowhere to go, with a pack of ammo in the grass.
The man was walking toward me with more pace when he screamed in agony. It was then that I had noticed that Bailey had snuck behind the man, and had bitten deep into his leg. He spun around and clogged the dog in the head with the back of the axe before he drove it into his chest.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing...So i shot him!

The man fell to the ground, lying close to my dog. Blood quickly flowing from his chest. When I noticed something very odd, something that I hadn't seen since I witnessed the death of my older brother when I was just a boy. His skin. It started to pull closer to his bones. His veins pushed up and a loom came over his whole body, to say as if he were wearing a costume, to say that he were an old man, as his skin was old.

I saw an arm lying on the ground from behind a post, just a couple of meters away. I looked at the body of my lost friend, felt a tear drop from my cheek and said goodbye.
I took direction to the limb on the other side of the fence when the object started to move. It was rising. Standing up, and before I knew it, it was moving my way. Then I noticed. I knew this person. But where form?

The strange character moved up to me and starred me in the eyes. Long hair flickering in the early morning breeze. A stunning complexion came right up to my face, as she slightly parted her lips and mumbled
"Mastos tamen, coligvan, tooloy".
She let out an almighty scream and knocked me flat on my stiff back. She stepped over my aching body and looked down on me.
"Thank-you" She whispered and was gone as the morning sun beamed along the ground, reaching my eyes, as I suddenly felt faint, closing my eyes and passing out next to the other bodies.
