BRITTANY'S POV
"Oi babe, we should watch a horror tonight?" Luke suggested when we were in the car on the way home from the amusement park.
"Ok," I said sounding excited "horrors give me such a thrill. Ya know? The adrenaline gets me pumped." I hadn't watched many horrors but when I did I'd always end up running out of the room.
"Should we ask the others if they wanna watch?" I asked.
"Yea sounds good, by the way skips the worst to watch a horror movie with." Luke mumbled. I just laughed imagining skip being scared.
"Do you guys wanna watch a scary movie with me and Luke tonight?" I asked everyone. They all said yes except Claudia.
"Hell no I'm not watching a horror, that ride is gonna give me nightmares anyway I don't want to add to that by watching a scary movie." She stated.
"Beau stop here, brit and I will run in and the get the DVD." Luke said pulling me out of the car. We picked some random movie in the horror section, it was R18 so Beau had to come in and get it. The twins weren't 18 yet. I don't even know what the movie was called but I shat my pants just looking at the cover.
By the time we got home it was 7:30pm and we didn't want to watch the movie till later to get a good feel of the movie. We had some dinner and dessert then got some snacks ready for the movie. Before we knew it was 11:00pm.
"Shall we get this movie started?" James asked.
"Yea lets do this." Jai said putting the DVD in the player.
"Well goodnight then." Claudia said leaving the room.
"Sorry if you hear screams!" Skip yelled.
Luke and I were sitting together on the couch with the popcorn on my lap. We turned all the lights off and let the movie play. I had no idea what I was in for. Every second I would jump little bits of popcorn going everywhere. Sometimes I'd even run out the room. None of the boys helped, especially Skip, they were all screaming. I had run out of the room and when I came back in to sit down I put the popcorn on my lap. The music that was playing on the movie indicated something scary was gonna happen. I prepared my self by hiding my head in Luke's neck. Suddenly the music kept building... and building ... and building and then there was a loud ass scream that did not come from the tv. I shrieked and threw my popcorn in the air and jumped off the couch and onto Luke who had already made a run for it after his girlish scream. Beau paused the movie.
"What the hell was that?" He asked. Then there was another scream.
"Shit." Luke said. Then there was another one.
"Claudia!" I gasped and we all ran to her room, she was screaming and screaming. Jai went over to wake her up.
"Don't do that!" James grabbed his wrist "If you wake them up they freak out, my cousin has night terrors just like this."
"This has never happened to her before." I said, "what do we do?"
"We wait." James said. Luke grabbed my hand as we waited for at least half an hour for Claudia to stop screaming.
Jai was a mess he couldn't stand seeing her like this and not being able to do anything. We couldn't touch her because it may feel like something in her nightmare. We couldn't talk to her because she couldn't hear us, it was horrible sitting listening to her scream in fear and cry for help.
CLAUDIAS POV
Darkness, I can't see anything. I am tied to a chair with ropes that are slowly cutting my skin. I look around trying to figure out where I am when I hear a footstep.
"Whhhho's therrre" I stuttered.
"Only me my dear" he says creeping out of the darkness smiling at me.
"Get the fuck away from me" I Growled.
He just laughed at me.
"What! You think it's funny that my father is dead all because of you!" I yelled at him.
"Oh no I am truly sorry about him it's just that you were to happy so I decided to do something that will make you weak again" He said right up close. "That's why I killed your dog as well, you were just too happy. And I see you're happy again so I might just have to take someone else away, like your dear friend Brittany or even better your lovely boyfriend."
"Who are you" I asked confused tears falling down my face.
"Your worst nightmare" he whispered in my ear.
He started cutting the ropes off me with a knife. Once they were loose enough I made a run for it. Only I was to slow and his knife cut my arm making me wince in pain. Blood pouring from my arm I turn around and managed to punch him in the face with my right arm.
I punch and punch him till he is in the the floor.
"Don't fuck with me again" I said telling at him.
I was about to run off when I hear him say.
"I will kill you"
"Don't worry I will be ready" I said running off.
This room is huge and the only way out is a window that won't open, I don't know how high I am but I will soon find out.
I run full speed at the window and hitting it sending glass all through my body. The pain is unbearable I scream out in pain.
We are very high up and I am falling fast knowing that when I hit the concrete I will be no more.
I cry for help but there is no one there no one is ever there when I need them.
I gasped for air, finding myself in bed, all of my friend gathered around me. I can't see the man anymore.
"Where is he?" I said getting out of bed.
"Woah woah Claud, you were screaming the whole time you were asleep, maybe you should rest a bit more." James tried to get me to go back to bed.
"No!" I screamed, "where is he?" I yelled at them, I didn't even realise I was crying until Jai wiped my tears away.
"Claudia it's ok. Who are you talking about?" Jai wrapped me in his arms.
"No he's gonna go after you, he's gonna take you away from me."
"Who?" Brittany asked.
"The man who killed dad. He's going to take you all away from me, he doesn't want me to be happy." I said with my fists clenched trying to explain.
"Babe it was just a dream, calm down. You're safe now, we're all here for you." Jai said soothingly, I sat on the bed. It felt so real. I checked my arm to see if the cut was there, nothing, but I could still feel the pain. The only time I'd ever seen that man was at dads boxing match, but in my dream he'd told me that he wanted me miserable, he hated to see me happy. Why? Was this man representing something else in my life?
