Asami's Dream-A Warning

  Around 3:00 p.m. Asami sat on her couch filled with boredom. The rain had now became a downpour, so Asami was stuck indoors. Asami stared at her TV screen. There was nothing good on so, she just left it on a channel which was currently showing ads to buy something.  Asami layed down on the couch, and her eyelids slowly closed. She fell asleep. 

  "Where am I!?" said Asami. The surroundings was all black, but in front of her was a nun with her back towards her.

  "Asami," whispered a voice. She spun around and saw a woman with medium brown hair and blue eyes. Standing next to her was Carrie. They stared at Asami. A maniacal laughter is heard from the right of her. Terrie is seen laughing, her eyes glowing red as she moves backwards into the blackness without moving her feet. Asami turned back to face the nun who still had her back towards her. Standing next to the nun on both sides were faceless nuns. 

  "Noppera-Bō," said Asami silently. In fact, there were a bunch of them. They all faced Asami. Suddenly, the nun with her back turned moves backwards at Asami. It stops right in front of her. 

  "Sister Oana?" asked Asami. A meow along with purring is heard. Asami looks down at her left leg to see a black cat with red eyes and a scar over its right eye that's rubbing its head on Asami's leg. The cat walks to the left of Asami and its eyes dilate. Asami looked back at the nun and jumps. The nun was now facing her, but there was nothing but black where the face was supposed to be, matching the darkness surrounding Asami. 

  "Asami," said the dark faced nun. Her voice sounded the same as Sister Oana, but it had an eerie dark echo to it.

  "Yes?" asked Asami.

  "Derzhites' podal'she ot ST. HASHIRO!" said Sister Oana in a thick Russian accent. Asami looked at Sister Oana's empty black void of a face, dazed and confused. 

  "What?" asked Asami, dazed. 

"Kul't sobirayetsya zakonchit'to, chto oni nachali!" exclaimed Sister Oana. "Smert' na nas!" Her voice echoed as Terrie who had disappeared before from the darkness was now running at her in a psychotic fashion. The cat suddenly grew into a human size, wearing a red kimono with black lacing. The cat stood like a human. Asami turned around and the cat grabbed her to prevent her from Terrie's attack and then everything went completely black.

  Asami screamed as she woke up. She sat up and looked at her phone which read 4:30 p.m. The rain had stopped, but it was still dark and cloudy. Sister Oana's last phrase from the dream still rung in her ears:

  "Smert' na nas!" said Sister Oana. 

  "What does that mean?" thought Asami. Asami got up from the couch and shut off the TV. "I want answers, so I'm going to that school and finding Sister Oana!" Asami ran to St. Hashiro, determined to have answers to her questions. Asami bursted through the doors and shut it quickly. Asami went into the pews, but saw Oana wasn't there. She headed back into the entrance area. She looked over to the right of the Jesus Mural. Asami walked over to it and looked down. There were stairs leading into the basement. Asami gulped.

"Of course she'd be there," groaned Asami. She turned on the flashlight from her phone and walked down the gray stairs. She turned left and slid open a door. The hall was dark and gray in color. In fact, it was pitch black down there. Asami hesitated, but then started walking. She ended walking past a dark cafeteria. 

  "Why would they want a cafeteria down here?!" thought Asami. "Wait, why didn't I think of using a light switch?" She looks at the light switch on the wall right outside of the cafeteria. She flips it, but nothing happens. Asami groaned.  She continued walking straight down the hall. The hall curved to the left and Asami almost bumped into the wall. She kept going left and found a door. She opens it and finds a whole bunch of candles and boxes. The candles were black, but some were red. Asami felt nervous. She opened a box and gasped. Inside, there was a wide variety of knives, all which were blood stained. Asami couldn't help but shriek as she ran out of the room that seemed to be an old supply closet and ran out of the basement and then screamed as she almost ran into Sister Oana at the entrance. 

  "What is it!? You seem panicked!" said Sister Oana. Asami seemed suspicious.

  "Why is there a supply closet filled with black and red candles? Also, WHY IN HELL IS THERE A BOX FILLED WITH BLOODSTAINED KNIVES?!" yelled Asami. Sister Oana seemed stunned.

  "Where was this closet at?" asked Oana. 

  "Oh you know damn well it's in the basement!" growled Asami. Sister Oana seemed confused.

  "I never go down there," said Sister Oana. "The lights don't work." Asami was now confused. 

  "Weird.." said Asami. Her eyes got big. "The rumor about the cult using this place to get supplies, it's true! Well, it seems too they have supplies here already, but yeah!" Sister Oana gasped.

  "They must come when I'm not here!" exclaimed Sister Oana. Asami nods. 

  "Oana, do you know what 'Smert' na nas' means?" asked Asami suddenly. Sister Oana looked at her, her eyes darkening. 

  "Yes, but where'd you hear that phrase?" asked Oana. 

  "In a dream," said Asami. She told her whole dream to Oana. 

  "Death is upon us. That's what the phrase means. Do you remember what else was said?" Asami shook her head.

  "How do you know what that means?" asked Asami.

  "I come from Russia," said Sister Oana. Asami gasped.
