Everything here describes the one I see in my nightmares! This is it, i found you. Okay I'll keep reading.

The Quelch is a creature that makes you have nightmares. Not much is known about this one but it's known to make you have nightmares and make them reality. It controls your nightmares, makes you go insane, drives you to suicide. You can't get rid of the Quelch. It's stuck with you until you commit suicide or die of natural causes. There may be a way to get rid of the Quelch but no one has found a way yet. That's all the information about this creature, no one knows how to get rid of it, control it and why it does what it does. It's only been seen in nightmares, no one has ever seen a Quelch in real life.

WHAT?! That's all the information it's going to give me?! I already know all this! The only thing I learned was that it's name is Quelch! But I had no idea that this monster would make me go insane then drive me to suicide. No way to get rid of it huh? This thing is going to kill me. Every day of my life will be a nightmare. Nothing has happened today though, but something will happen. I know it. There's gotta be a way to get rid of it! There's just gotta be a way! I have to find a way. I can't let this thing kill me. I won't let that happen.

"I'm back. So?" Miss Zee says as she walks towards me and sits down.

"I couldn't really find anything, it's not telling me anything, all I learned is that it's gonna drive me to suicide and that there's no way to get rid of it..." I look down, disappointed, knowing that I might hurt myself soon.

"Oh no. I'm so sorry. You can't give up just yet. You must find a way to get rid of it."

"I know, I know, but how. It's so rare, it probably doesn't even live here in this forest, so I can't kill it."

"Kill it in your nightmares."

"Miss Zee, I cant. It controls my nightmares, not me. It would be impossible to hurt it in my nightmares as it controls everything that I do and everything that happens in my nightmares."

"Well you just can't give up. What if it does live here? We must search for it tomorrow!"

"I guess you're right, I can't let it kill me. I have to at least do something about this. Okay! We'll go search tomorrow!"

"Alright. Honey you can stay here for the night if you would like!"

"Oh sorry Miss Zee! I think I should go home! I can't just leave my dog there. I'll see you at the library tomorrow!"

"But sweetie you don't know how to get out of here!"

"I'll find my way out! Later!" I yell as I walk out and close the door."

Time to find my way home...
