Beyond our Nightmares

Nightmare 2

As I took in the view, I knew we had to get out of here as soon as possible, but I couldn't move. My body didn't move an inch. I was stuck in place, trapped in my own body and watched people I once knew getting killed. My whole body shook with fear, because I had no time to react when three shadows came towards us and I took a closer look.

Under the black mist were people with black eyes, white skin, and a familiar white fluid that ran down their chin in threads. Soon after, I heard a loud scream, louder than the others, until it stopped, and I realized that the scream came from me. My eyes were wide open and I wondered if I was still breathing or not.

The shadows came closer and I felt nails digging in my neck, which made me scream again. I didn't care what it was, but I wanted it off of me, so I trashed around and cried even more. The nails dug even deeper into my skin and it started to bleed. As I looked up, I saw that five other shadows were stumbling towards us and the other two were already in front of me, one grabbing my arm, while the other tried to bite my leg.

"Leave her alone!"  Someone screamed, but I could't place the voice properly, but I was sure that I knew it. My arm started to bleed, but at least the nails on my neck were gone. It hurt like hell, burned, and soon felt numb, but suddenly the shadow that tried to rip my arm away disappeared, and so did the other one. So I looked up and in front of me stood my brother with outstretched arms.

"Hurt her again and I'll make sure 'Pain' is not enough to describe your feelings!" he exclaimed as I felt my knees give in and fell to the floor. He didn't turn around to see if I was okay or not, probably because it was pretty obvious I wasn't okay at all.

The shadows looked at him and began to laugh as they obviously could not face a serious threat from a small boy, which seemed to annoy Yamie even more. "Move," he demanded, but was completely ignored. Shadow Number One came up to him, grabbed Yamie by the shoulder and tried to shove him out of the way, only to be knocked down by him.

The other shadows took this as permission to attack us and ran towards him. To be honest, this was the first mistake that wasn't mine, it was theirs. So I sat there and watched. Yamie's hands started smoking, another shock, but after all that I've seen today, it didn't hit me very hard because my thoughts were already blank.

Soon the smoke covered him and darkened and darkened with each passing second until I couldn't see him anymore. And if I thought that the smoke of the shadows was terribly scary, then Yamies would be a nightmare. The smoke around the shadows was heavy enough not to be seen from afar, but once they are close to you, you can see them completely. But Yamie was different. It seemed as if he was the center of a black tornado. The tornado turned faster and faster and soon he devoured the shadows, leaving nothing but me and dozens of bodies in the street.

The other shadows seemed to recognize that they were in danger too and got away, but even then the tornado didn't stop. Soon I realized that there was a puddle of black liquid under the tornado, and it seemed like it was getting bigger. I was so scared of what was going on, so I pulled back, just to roll into the river. I screamed in pain as the dirt and tiny rocks of the river got into my wounds and the pain blurred my vision. I tried to get out of the river, but as I was close to the shore, I lost consciousness.

I woke up again, but found myself in a bed with no sense of time. How did I get there? Where have I been before? What was going on? I was so confused and couldn't remember anything. So I tried to get up, but a stinging pain stopped me from doing so. As I saw why I couldn't move, my memories rushed back to me.

The shadows, Yamie, corpses everywhere. "Oh god. Oh god, this can't be true, I'm dreaming, this is so not happening.", I whispered and repeated over and over, my eyes opened wide and I probably looked like a lunatic who has just escaped from an asylum, however, as soon as I heard a knock on the door, I started screaming in panic because I was horrified, too scared to calm myself down.

At that moment I realized I was crying the whole time, loud sobs escaped me and I was shaking all over. "Yo, Yelena, are you alright?" Asked the person in the doorway, but I ignored it and rocked back and forth, my hands clinging to my knees. "Yelena?", he asked again. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" I yelled, desperate to be alone so that I could think about what had happened.

"YELENA! Look at me! Yelena, please!" Said the person, the concern in his voice almost touchable. It was Yamie, who else ... I looked up to stare at him, my eyes still wide open. "Were are mom and dad?" He asked. I just shook my head and looked at the floor.

He seemed to understand what I meant and dropped to his knees. As much as I hated to admit it, right at that moment I was happy that they died in a car accident, and they didn't see what happened to this cruel world. His white tears were slowly running down his cheek and began to drip on the floor, so I sat up slowly and tried to crawl towards him.

I could not walk because that shadow bit my leg and I was still shaking, but I still came to him and engulfed him in a hug. My shirt was full of that white fluid, blood that I didn't know if it was mine or not, and that other weird black fluid. Obviously it was 'Nightmare Blood', but how did I know that?

My shirt was torn and looked disgusting, but I ignored it and just hugged Yamie harder. He hugged me back and sobbed louder than before. "It's alright, I'm here ..." I mumbled. "I don't care, I tried to kill you, and as far as I know, you're the only family I've got left!" He said between his sobs, "I dug my nails into your throat, I was just so angry..."

This comment made me uncomfortable as hell. 'The shadow that was trying to pierce my carotid artery was my damned twin brother?!', I thought. "Why did you do that?!" I asked in astonishment, not even scared or shocked, I just couldn't believe what he said.

"You were the first one to indirectly murder me, weren't you?", he asked smiling a crazed smile, "You murderer."
