Nightmares

Chapter 1 (will's pov)

I was falling, inky blackness all around me. A never ending pit of fear and darkness. I didn't feel anything when I slammed into the ground, just a slight buzz in my head. I stood up and brushed the dust and dirt off of me before acknowledging my surroundings. I was in my room, "please" i said "I don't want to see this again". A glowing white hand gripped my door frame, I watched as the glowing figure approached my bed. He was smiling, that's when I noticed he's got a knife in his hands. I watched myself cowering in fear as the man brought the knife above my chest, then plunged it down. 

I was falling once more, I couldn't move, it was like my body was frozen solid. I hit the ground once more and waited for the nightmare to play. I found myself in my house looking out the door to see wolves running at me. "close the door!" I shouted to my dad, but he just walked away leaving me to die. The wolves jumped at me and I saw every detail, blood and organs flew everywhere as they devoured me alive.

I was falling again but this time was different, I could move. Suddenly unbearable pain hit my body, like I had fallen thousands of meters and crashed into the ground. I screamed as a fresh new wave of pain hit me, my body was shaking violently. just when I thought i couldn't take it anymore darkness clouded my vision and everything went dark.

I woke in a cold sweat, terrified of what just happened. 'I haven't had nightmares since I was eight' I thought 'what would cause me to suddenly start having them again?'. I checked my clock ' great' I thought '12 am, now I know i'm not getting to sleep tonight which means no school'. I had already missed to much school, my insomnia has made it really hard to get to sleep at night. "might as well try" I said.

                                                                          ( time skip: to afternoon)

I woke up and looked at the clock, 1 pm 'great, you missed out on another day of school' I thought. I gathered my strength and pushed myself of my bed to go grab late breakfast. I went to the fridge and grabbed a caramel up n go and a nutri grain bar.  I grabbed my phone and slumped onto the couch and ate. 'Now the only thing worse than the nightmares is if your mum followed you on all your social media', i laughed at the thought. I opened up messenger and texted my friend.

L- Hey, you okay? why aren't you at school?

Me- I'm fine, i just woke up but I barely got any sleep, i'll try to go tomorrow.

L- It's okay, don't push yourself.

Me- I won't, I promise.

I exited messenger and walked to back to my room. I grabbed my gaming headset and went to play X.box

                                                             (time skip to night)

I finished the last part of my dinner and went straight to bed, i was to tired to do anything else. what's bad was I made the mistake of falling asleep. "Hello, Will...", I turned to see a woman with deep red hair and fierce yellow eyes staring at me. "wh... who are you?" I asked, " I am the embodiment of all your fears, let me say it's very fun torturing you". "leave me alone and get out of my head!" I shouted. "now now, watch your mouth or it may have great consequences". "what... do... you... want?" I said slowly. "oh, that's easy" she said "this" she snapped her fingers and my vision blurred.

When I woke I was on a grey rocky path, ahead of me it split two ways, left and right. I didn't want to move, but I didn't want to stay either, so I moved. I got up and brushed myself off, "hello?" I asked not wanting a response, thankfully I didn't get one. I followed the path till it split in two, with a sign facing each direction.  Left's sign said 'eternal pain, sorrow and torment' and right's sign said 'death, depression and murder'. ' well they both sound lovely' I thought. i didn't know which to choose because they both sound terrible, so I chose the right, at least if I die i'll escape all the pain.

I followed the path until I came to 3 signs facing 3 directions. left said 'death', forward said: depression and right said: murder. 'great' I thought ' now I have to choose out of these?'. Not thinking I went left, the path seemed to change. the stones turned from grey to black and a mist filled the air. I was about to turn around when a hand grabbed my neck.
