The Nightmare

14.

          Jerry groaned in Pain as Lilly did the best she could to keep him comfortable.

"Where are my joints?" Jerry groaned under his breath.

"Ill go get you one." Lilly sighed searching through his bag with the pen light. We were all stressed and on the edge. "Here." Lilly put the joint to his lips and lit it.

"You guys hungry?" I asked breaking the tension as I stood up from the dining chair. Mikey nodded and let out a yawn.

"Its late..." He sighed. "Nothing we could do right now. Best to do now is get some rest."

"Yeah..." Danielle agreed standing up. "Mikey's right. Tommorrow we can get the van and head into town."

"Ill stay down here here with Jerry." Lilly said softly caressing Jerry's cheek.

"If Anything call out to me or Mikey." I said as Danielle, Mikey and I headed upstairs. "Good night."

             Mikey placed his hands around me and pulled me close. We were both snuggled in bed, he was asleep, I was not. I had this anxious feeling that someone was watching us. I reached for my phone on the nightstand. It had 50 percent battery and still no service. It was just about midnight and even though I was fighting it, my eyes were getting heavy. It's fine.. Just gonna rest my eyes...it's gonna be fine, I said to myself as I felt myself drift into a deep sleep.

           Danielle peeked out to Sam and Mikeys room to check on them. Asleep.

"Perfect..." Danielle whispered to herself as she quietly pulled Sam's duffel bag out. She took it and plopped it on her bed,where she began to ransack whatever was inside. "Slutty..." Danielle chuckled to herself as she pulled out a cross lined crop top and booty shorts."So not you Sam." As she began taking stuff out something tapped on the floor beside her. A necklace. Danielle picked it up,"This is mine now." She smiled and put it around her neck. Danielle pulled out a pixkey mirror and went to use the light of the moon to see herself. For a split second she thought she saw her eyes red. But dismissed it as a trick of the mind. She quickly changed into Sam's clothes and fixed her hair to exactly like Sam's. "I hope this works"
                "Hehe."

            Mikey heard a noise coming from upstairs and immediately woke up. He let out a sigh and stood up realizing he couldn't go back to sleep. Sam was next to him still, passed out asleep. He reached for the covers and tucked her in before he went to the restroom. Using touch and little light from the candles he made his way to the restroom. He blindly turned the water handles and splashed water on his face realizing it boiling hot.

"Fuck!" He groaned quietly as his eyes burned and became blurry from the heat. "Ngh..." He looked for a towel in the darkness when he saw a dark figure by the door.

"Here babe." Here babe Sam's voice sounded placing a towel to his face.

"Sam..." He sighed relieved as the cool towel cooled his face. "I'm really sorry for waking you."

"Hehe..." She giggled.

"What's so funny?" He smiled looking at her. She wore a crop top and short shorts. "Babe aren't you cold?"

"Shhh." Shhh She shushed meeting her lips with his.

"Babe what-"

"Follow me." She whispered holding his hand and leading him up to the third floor.

             "Kill..Kill...Kill.." No stop. I had my eyes closed and all I could hear were those indescribable whispers. I couldn't move, I was paralyzed in my sleeping state. I felt my injured arm burning as flashbacks of Jerry falling repeated in my head. Only...something was different...I had pushed him. No! He slipped! Right?

                "Babe?" Mikey chuckled following Sam up to the attic decorated in candles and mirrors. Sam turned to him, scattered around reflecting her as she undressed in front of him."Sam... What-"

"Shh." She shushed kissing him and pulling him down to the ground pulling off his shirt. Mikey melted into her following her lead and kissing her deeply.

           No no "no!" I gasped waking up panting and sweating as my arm became numb and painful. "Ugh!" I groaned getting up and moving it. "We gotta get out of here..." I painted turning to Mikey. "Mike-" where was he? Something wasn't right, something was NOT right! I got up and checked the restroom using my phones flashlight. I heard creaking coming from upstairs and went to the door. But it was locked. "Fuck..." I cursed putting my phone in my pocket since I could only use one hand. "Come on..." I jiggled the knob. Strange...this door didn't have a lock.

             "Sam..." Mikey moaned. Danielle smiled, she couldn't believe he had fallen for this. Whatever convinced him, she was happy it did.
 
             I pushed and pulled the door having it finally open. I went up and heard moaning coming from above the third floor. I slowly and cautiously walked to a ladder that led up to an attic. I had a bad feeling about this.

          "Sam." Mikey moaned kissing down her neck and to her chest as she moaned softly.

"I knew you'd be mine one way or another..." Through the fuzzy feeling he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He continued kissing down her body when he caught a glimpse of them in one of the mirrors. Only it wasn't Sam...and something horrifying was look back at them through the mirror. He quickly jumped back at the sight of the Woman in white and looked over to where she was. But she wasn't there.

"Mikey..." A shrill voice startled him as He looked over to see Sam's head poking in. He turned to who he was sleeping with."Da-Danielle..." Sam gasped as tears came to her eyes.

"S-Sam..." Mikey stood up confused and frightened seeing Danielle laying there undressed smiling and laughing.

"Told you." Danielle stood up naked as Mikey hyperventilated to comprehend what was going on. Danielle walked over and pulled up Sam by her hair. "He always loved me."

              "Leave me alone!" I screeched scratching at her arm as She let my hair go. Tears stung my eyes as I watched Mikey try to look for words.

"S-Sam-"

"Save it!" I gulped pulling off the ring and throwing it at him.

"Sam! Please wait!" Hs called out as He scrambled getting up as I headed down.
  
            "Pathetic." Danielle laughed dressing still in the attic alone. She began to hum as she began to blow out the candles hearing the sounds of Sam's crys."I always get what I want..." She whispered blowing out the last candle and turned to to head out but something paralyzed her in fear. In all the mirror something was reflecting, that woman staring right at her from multiple mirrors.

             "Sam!" Mikey pleaded as I walked down stairs.

"Leave me alone!" I cried, I needed to get out of here.

"What's going on?" Lilly woke up as Jerry was sitting up.

"Danielle!" I cried throwing on my jacket. "She got what she want and I'm leaving!"

"I thought she was you!" Mikey huffed pulling at his hair in distress. "Please Sam! I swear-"

"Go finish fucking Danielle!" I cried trying to push open the back door but it wouldn't budge. Suddenly it went silent when we heard a eerie scream from upstairs. "Great you fuck buddy is calling for you!" I groaned trying to still open the door with one hand.

"D-Danielle?!" Lilly gulped looking up at the top of the stairs to Danielle. She was hunched over and crying silently. I rolled my eyes and continued with the door. "Danielle talk!" Lilly went to her aid as she helped her sit back.

"What the fuck?!" Jerry gasped, we all gasped to see Danielle face cut deep across her face. Jerry stood up by the kitchen sink trying to calm himself. I stood in fear, it was clear that I wasn't dreaming Any more.

"We have to get out of here..." I said in a shrill voice.

"Can someone tell me WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!" Jerry screamed over Danielles whimpers. Something burst through the kitchen window and grabbed Jerry pulling him out through the bars as he screamed as his body crunched to a halt. Than dead silence.
