I woke up feeling groggy. I had this massive headache that wont seem to go away. I walked into my sufficiently sized bathroom which came with this house when i bought it a month ago. I grabbed the Advil that was on the counter and swallowed it whole. Still feeling like crap, i went downstairs to get some breakfast. As i entered the living room there was a strong smell in the air; Pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs. The aroma of it all made me momentarily forget about my headache. I entered the kitchen and saw my mom setting up the table for breakfast.

"Hey mom, smells good" I said weakly.

"Hey honey i made you some breakfast, we have a big day today."

"Oh really, and whats that going to be?"

"Honey, you've been in this house for a month now and you still haven't unpacked or did anything to make this house come alive" She stared at me with her golden brown eyes, making me feel like she's staring right through me. The funny thing is, both my parents have brown eyes whilst i have blue. My parents and I never understood that. 

"Ugh mom i'm really not in the mood okay. I have to work today and i need my rest, i have a massive headache"

"Oh honey, did you take Advil?"

"Yes mom" I was starting to get annoyed of her and all i wanted to do was eat and lay down on the couch. I've seemed to develope very low patience and a tendency to push my mom away from my life as far as possible. Thats the only reason why I bought this house, to get away from it all. Ever since my dad divorced my mom, my mom has been acting like I'm 12 years old. She's always stopping by, making sure i've been fed, my laundry has been done and that i have food in the fridge. 

"Ok, maybe you should call your work place and tell them you're sick, i can do it if you like" She started walking towards the phone in the living room.

I skidded to the phone before her, "No mom!"

She looked at me confusingly. "Listen mom seriously im fine can we just eat already? i'm starving" I said. 

She nodded and we both sat down at the dinner table and started munching away all the good food. An hour or so later my mom left back home and i was laying down on the couch watching my favorite show Game Of Thrones, when suddenly i heard a noise coming from upstairs. I looked up and saw nothing or heard anything again for about 3 minutes. Maybe i'm just hallucinating i thought.  Maybe im just tired. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

and thats when i had the worst dream.

I was walking down a long dark alley. I've never seen it before in my life, but i heard someone calling my name "sammy!" in a hoarse, raspy voice. I wasn't scared just curious, so i kept walking. the alleyway stretched far and long. I couldnt see anything besides the dim lights from both sides of the alley walls. I kept hearing my name "sammy! sammy! come closerrrrr". I finally reached the end, there was a door right in front of me. I opened it cautiously and thats when i saw a a beam of light so bright it almost blinded me. I heard screams, little kids screams too. I felt something spray on me. Everything was chaos i didnt now what to do.

I woke up abruptly when i heard a hard loud knock on my door.
