Nightmare
September 11, 2010 Time: 1:30 a.m.
"Help!!! Help!!! Oh, please someone!!! Please help me!!" I started running towards the voice. Where am I? How did I get here? "Help me! Please save me!!! The frantic voice grew louder as I got closer to it. Everything around me had lost color. The whole entire place looked like a big maze. As I turned a corner I saw this little girl lying half dead in a corner. Her velvet brown hair was stained in blood. The black dress she had on was ripped and torn. Her pale body was covered with cuts and bruises. "Help... Please help me." She stretched out a bruised arm towards my direction. Her arm was shaking from either weakness or shivers. I reached out my hand to her. She grabbed on to my wrist so firmly it felt like she was cutting off my circulation. Suddenly, I heard her start crying. I wanted to go and give her a hug and tell her everything will be ok. Before I could do that there was a change in her voice. It wasn't the sound of a little girl weeping it sounded more like an evil laugh. Her laugh made my skin crawl. The tight grip she had on me grew harder. When I looked at her again her hair was turning into pale silver. Her skin was no longer smooth it turned into rough and puke-color skin. Those lost eyes turned into eyes of hunger for blood and death. I tried to run but her grip was too hard.
"Hahahahahahaha!! You will never escape me Milagros!! Your mine!!!" How did she know my name? A smile spread across her face which slowly turned into a laugh. No!!!! Let me go!!! I wanted to scream but my voice no longer was working. My body stood frozen. Out of nowhere what use to be a little girl jumped on me and started choking me. Her hands or something like hands where on my throat squeezing harder and harder. Air! I needed air! My lungs burned. They were screaming for air and so was I. I tried to throw her off me but she was way stronger than I was. What was this? The last thing I remember before waking up here was falling asleep. That's it! This was a dream and it was my dream! I control it! I tried to picture the beach or something better than this. "Hahahahaha! You think you can escape me just because this is your dream! Let me tell you something sweetie I control everything here and you?! You have no power here!!" What!!! I was trapped here! I can't die! Not now! Not here! Wait! There was one more hope! If I couldn't escape by going somewhere else... I could wake up! The question was how?! Could I move my head? With her hands still on my throat, I tried to move my head. I could!!! Somehow I sort of got close enough to my arm to where I could bite it. With my last attempt to get away from this place and this...Creature! I bit myself on my shoulder. "Wait! No!! You can't leave! Your mine!" Everything around me started vanishing and the last thing I heard from that girl was, "I will get you!"
September 11, 2010 Time: 4:24 a.m.
I woke up on my bed! I was back!! As I checked myself, I realized that my white gown was ripped and dirty. Also I had a big bruise on my wrist where whatever she was had held onto me. Surprised, I checked my shoulder. Sure enough it was bleeding from where I had bit myself. I got up quietly trying to go to the bathroom and not wake up any of the other kids that stayed at the orphanage. When I reached the bathroom I looked at myself in the mirror. I hated the way I looked. I had lithium-gray hair which matched the color of my eyes. All my life I have been made fun of the way I look. All my life I had been the outsider. My mom died giving birth to me and after that my dad went and hung himself. Since no one in my family would claim me I was sent to and orphanage and from there no one wanted to adopted me. Trying to distract myself from my tragic memories I went to get a wet towel to clean off the blood, but thats when I saw another huge bruise which covered my entire throat. That thing must have done this to me. I tried to ignore it and wipe off the blood, but I couldn't believe that dream had seemed so real! "Hehehehe, I'm still here!" Startled, I looked into the mirror. No! It couldn't be her! She was a dream! I was too scared to turn around so I just watched her from the mirror. She slowly stood up and started coming towards me. That's when I turned around!
"No! Don't come near me!" When I looked up she was gone. Slowly I turned back to the mirror. She was still there, but in her little kid form! "Milagros you can't escape me! I'm destine to kill you." She put her hand on my cheek and dug her nail in my cheek. "Remember that." The next second she was gone. I put my hand towards my cheek. When I looked at my hand it had blood on it. How was that! Not making a sound or losing my mind I slowly cleaned up my shoulder and cheek.
September 11, 9:54 p.m.
The whole entire day what the Creature had told me lingered in my head and for some strange reason she kept appearing everywhere. I climbed into bed not because I was tired but because it was curfew. I left the light on for as long as I could I didn't want her to show up anywhere. Sadly, the people that I shared a room with started complaining so I finally, I just turned it off. Still wide awake I sat up on my bed just waiting for the Creature to show up.
"Miss me?" She was here! She slowly stood up from under my bed. "The moon is up aren't you suppose to be asleep already? Hehehehe! Don't you know whether asleep or awake the night time is my domain and you can die either way." She laughed. That's it! I reached my breaking point! I threw the lamp next to me at her.
"Who are you!?!?! What do you want from me! Don't come near me!" At first she looked shocked but then she started laughing?!
"Oh I never knew you had this much anger in you? Hahahahaha! Don't you get it yet! I'm here to kill you and do you know why?" I just shook my head, "First, do you know what I am?" Again I shook my head. "Hehehe! I am the hatred everyone feels for you! Why do you think so many people pick on you, because they don't like the way you look? Hahahahaha! They are just jealous of you, because you are really truly beautiful. Also what about your dad? You killed your mother! He hated you for killing the very thing that he lived for which is why he had no problem leaving you!" No! She was lying its not true! "The truth hurts sweetie." That's when I threw the clock at her and ran. "Yeah, a chase! Keep running I will find you!" I ran out of the room and towards the exit door. I could hear her footsteps coming towards me.
September 11, 2010 Time: Unknown
Surrounding the orphanage were woods I ran into them without a care I just wanted to run away! My lungs were burning! My feet were scraped and bleeding that didn't stop me! I could still hear her voice growing closer and closer. Her voice filled the woods I felt like she was everywhere. As I turned away to see if she was anywhere near me I tripped over a tree root and started rolling down a hill. When I reached the bottom I tried getting up again and running but I couldn't I had sprained my ankle. I heard her footsteps coming closer and closer. This is the end for me and I knew it.
"Awwwww, I wish you could have kept the chase going a little longer I was having fun! Oh well, now that you gave up are you ready to follow your fate." She took out a gun and pointed it to my head. "I told you all along your mine!" The next thing that happened was quick I heard a gun shot and I fell into an eternal sleep.
There I was dead in the middle of the woods. What did I ever do to deserve this? I deserve love, happiness, care, something I lived my whole life without. Still dead I still felt the rain pouring on me. Was the world crying for a girl like me? Even if it wasn't I'll take it. The world in my mind did cry for me and that's enough.
