There was a girl dressed in all black,with very pale skin, running.  She looked like a crow in the night, darting in between trees and leaping over fallen branches.  

She stumbled occasionally over    roots hidden by the snow covered forest ground but, picked herself quickly back up and continued pushing onward.  glancing over her shoulder she    screamed seeing a dark, cloaked, floating, figure chasing after her.

  I'm not entirely sure as to what it was only that it was evil.  as proof of that,    when  she swung her head back around she stopped and directly looked at me.  she had the most peculiar eyes.. they were scarlet with  cat like slits for pupils.     SHe whispered "help me" before falling into a thorn bush.

  I could see her open her mouth, screaming in pain as the thorns penetrated her luminously white skin. However, the sound was drowned  out when a banshee like  screech  erupted from  her tormentors. his shadowy mouth opened to reveal razor like teeth and, just before watching him ripped out the girls throat,  I was awake in my bed.

I was shaking violently, gasping for breath at the hideous scene I had just witnessed. 

  Trying to calm myself by saying "it was just a dream" I look up at the clock from my cocoon of blankets and watch as it strikes twelve... And the banshees scream once again echoes in my ears.
