A familiar tune blared through my tv at night, a old favorite of mine. The cool winter night blowing on my skin as the hours rolled by, writing a story to pass the time. Earlier tonight I woke to that dream again.

"King Run!" He shouted as I dashed through the corridors, running as fast as I could to the throne room, my undead nights falling all around me as i feel the powerful decay taking over me. Pain and my endurance slowly fade as I loose what grip I have on reality. I storm into the room before collapsing onto the ground, the blood from my wounds slowly covering the tile floor nelow me, becoming colder than the winter breeze in my room as I shoot up awake, freezing as i had left the window open.
"God damn it's cold, wish they got that heater fixed." I say as I get up to close the frosted pane.
I streach A bit before I wander into the kitchen to get a bottle of water, downing it rather fast.
"Hm, warmer than the house is? Is the fridge working?" I ask myself as i open the door and notice the light is off and it is a bit warmer than the air around me was.
"That's odd, wonder why the power is off?" Realising as I ponder that the tv shut off while i walked out of my room, looking around in the darkness, my right eye going dark as my left eye focuses, able to see in detail whats in the dark with me as my eyes turn a dark red as my vision sharpens.
I notice my power box panel is fiddled with, wires pulled out and the fuses scattered.
"That never spells fun..." Grabbing my sidearm just in case.
I walk into the living room and feel a pair of eyes on me, a heavy scent fills the room as a dark shadow emerges in front of me. It forms into a figure, a silhouette of a large broad man, eyes glowing green staring back into my now glowing red eyes.
"You are not safe King..." The being seems to speak within my mind, without moving his mouth.
"I know not of what you speak spectre, you speak within my dreams and only lead to nightmares, you are tresspasing on my property and I shoot to kill." Drawing my sidearm quickly, the long barrel and 6 chambered magnum gleaming in the dark, the spectre taking a step back as he sees a red glow in one of his eyes as I aim down sight.
"State your business or leave, alive or dead, your choice."
"You know Not of what or who you are to be, you need to leave, or I need to bestow apon you my gift, your choice King..."
I hesitate a moment as i possess what was said, then look back at him tightening my grip.
"I will not leave my home, or my family phantom, begone!" Firing the gun, the bullet dispersing the black mist, dropping a black box at my feet. I grab it and pick it up, opening it to find a black and green rod inside. Taking it out it extends into a full length scythe, the blade shining as it glows with a few hue around it. I feel a slight pain in my eyes as it starts to glow, my eyes going from a red to a green with traces of the red running through my eyes.
"Whoa, what did he leave me?" I say as I hear a scream from the other side of the house. Runni g to investigate the room of my daughter. Tge room is empty aside from the window open and the curtains drawn to the wind.
"Melody? Melody?!" I yell into the night as I notice she's not in her room.
I draw the blade as i feel a presence behind me, swinging the blade instinctively around and catching a man in the face, slicing his head clean in half, the top half slowly sliding off as very little blood emerges from the wound. The body drops to the floor, but before it hits the dark blue carpet, I feel a large hand grab the back of my neck, lifting me off the ground and dragging me to my bedroom. Fight as I did it did nothing to get its grip from around me.
We enter my bedroom only to find my wife being held captive by a mildly rotten man who's eyes glow purple, his skin is wounded but no longer bleeds, he looks at me as I start to enter a rage state. He simply laughs as he sinks his teeth into her throat.
The scream ringing in my ears as a large amount of blood burst out of the wound. I grab the thumb and index finger of whatever is holding me and snap them backwards, forcing it to drop me.
My eyes glow a dark green with red mist drawing from them.
"You will die for what you've done to her..." I mumble as the scythe deploys in my hand, the blade going behind me and impaleing the large man behind me, I flex forcing the blade to exit his body from below, disembowling him, his screams muffled in my ears as I swing the blade into the man in front of me, still laughing as the blade makes contact with his neck, slicing at an upwards angle, from below the jaw to the middle of his ear on the other side of his head. The laughing never stopped, only grew quiet in the house where I stood in the dark, holding my wife as she slowly grew cold, the wound growing black around her neck and spreading across her chest.
"I couldnt stop them... I.. I need to go, I know what's going on and I cant stand the thought of the one to end her life again..." Standing up as I grab a few things, laying her on the bed.
I take one last look back behind me as I start to close the door, noticing her start to twitch and horrible breathing attempts and gasp come from her. I lock the door behind me to make sure no one can get to her, and so that she can't hurt anyone else.
