HI!!!!!! Sorry I'm a few days later than I wanted to and that this chapter is longer than I thought it would be.

       I'm running in a dark cemetery. I have no idea where it is and what I'm doing here. All I know is I have to get away from  something.  I know is not safe. I see my breathe as I run in the cold. I try not ot look back and notice what is around me. There are stones that are at least 2 feet or taller. I can't make out the shapes and some seem crocked.

        I hear the footsteps get closer to me. I trip on stump or something that makes me fall to the cold ground.My body aches so much.

         I realize the footsteps stopped. I turn my head. Nothing. I sigh in relief. I get up shaking the dirt off my clothes.I looked down to see what I dripped on. My eyes widen to see the broken grave stone. I look around to find several more gravestones surrounding me.

        A graveyard. Great. What a perfect place to be chased in.

        I hear footsteps again. I imediately turn my head. I find a statue of an angle staring back at me. It's hand reaching out at me. I turn to run, less than a few seconds there's another. It is bad enough one is still chasing me and two are at my tail. I also try my best not to run into any more. But less than a minute I look right to find another. Before I know it I'm surrounded by three of them.
     Every time I blink or look away they move. How am i supposed to look at them and run at the same time? Especially when three of them are coming at me more than once?

        I trip walking backwards. I hurdle up  in a ball by the grave stone trying not to cry. Burying my face in my arms hoping it'd got away. A few seconds later I decide to look up. (HUGE mistake) I look up to find one of the with sharp teeth three inches away from me. I scream.

        Once I scream I find myself immediately sitting up in my bed, now wide awake. My cat is across the room from me, sitting on my chair and stares at me  as if I scared her. I must have screamed. Crap, I hope none of the neighbors heard me. I glance at the clock. it's almost 3:30 in the morning. I sigh. It's going to take me a while to go back to sleep. I turn on my phone to see what time I'd set up my alram clock for.

        "Great, I'm going have to wake up in about three hours," I groan. I get up and walk toward Eva.

        "Sorry about that girl," I pet behind her ears. "The dreams are just getting stranger. I didn't mean to scream. I think I'm  going insane. This is a first"

        "Good you're dressed," Lois says whose making breakfast then looks up. "What happened? Did you have a boy over?"

        "No, nothing like that.  I couldn't sleep well last night," I sit down at the table. "i had a bad dream."

        "I am not trying sound rude but you might want to put some make up on, you look terrible dear."

        "I'm going to be getting dirty either way," I shrug. "We'll be painting. There's no really any point.'

        "At least put something under you eyes," she puts an omlet on a plate. "What if that boy comes over? I'm aware that Mason came over yesterday."

        "I'm not planning to impress anyone."

        "Well you might as well do it now when you have the chance. he'd make a great boyfriend  for you. Do you want hash browns?"
