Crimson

Chapter 7

        The next day was a strange one. First I woke up late and almost missed the bus. Then when I got to school I was torn up and had the stranges dream the night before. I was a big mess. When I was in class I couldn't think straight I was to focused on the dream that I had last night. 

        I was walking through a desert. I was sandy and the sun was beating down on me. The sweat running down my forehead. I trudged on through. I had reached a forest and took that path down to a place where the fog swirled. It actually aprered as if there were people in the shadows but, their weren't. I walked to the clearing and looked around. It had gone from sunny to vitrually no sky. All you saw was darkness. No stars, or moon, just the black sky. A figure stepped out of the shadows.

        "Hey darling." He had said the evil rolling off his tounge.

        "Who are you?" I had asked. He started walking in circles and his gaze became hard to follow.

        "I'm as suprised to see you here as you are." What did he mean? See him here. Where is here? Mind started racing as I tried to pin point what he meant. Then my mind reconzied him. The creppy dude from school! He must have noticed that I knew who he was because, an instant smile crossed his face.

        "Your name's Damien, right?" I asked him.

        "You know my name?" He asked obviously caught of guard. I smiled inspite myself.

        "Yes I know your name. Now, where are we and, why are you here?" 

        "Well you see this place is all in your dreams. Why were you brought here, well on that note, you will find out soon enough."

        "What do you mean?" Just then I felt the ground below me start to rumblem and shake. I looked down and saw the ground split. I jumped and rolled out the way in time to see what looked like a canyon open where I was standing. It opened up more and I got up and moved out the way. I thought I was safe when the ground suddenly opened up below me. I started to run but, my shoe got caught on the edge and I started to fall when my hand found an edge and grabbed onto it. My nails digging into the dirt. I was so scared I started to gasp for breath.

        "Hey!" A voice called out above the gaping hole in the earth.

        "You again." I heard him call. He seemed angry and his voiced seemed like he knew this woman.

        "You just can't leave an inocent person alone, can you?" 

        "You just can't let anyone have any fun anymore." 

        "Hey, can use a little help here!" I yelled up through the cracked edges of the hole.

        The lady's voice that I heard earilier replied by saying

        "Hang on!" She yelled.

        Next thing I knew I was being swooped up into the air. I was flying.

        "Ahhh!" I screamed. The ground moved so fast pass my eyes I could barely see the gapping hole that I fell into because, of the stupid guy.

        She set me down on the ground and I thanked her for saving me. Then she started disolving along with her surrondings. I ran over to her asking her what was happening. She told me not to worry, that I was just waking up. I went to put my hand on her shoulder and my hand passed through where she had been standing. I looked around to take in everything but, everything was gone and when I turned around I woke up. 

        "Crimson!" My teacher was waving his hand across my face. I snapped out of it and looked up to her. 

        "Are you alright?" She asked me.

        "I'm fine." 

        "Okay then what's the answer to number 5?"

        Aww crap.
