Realize (COMPLETED)

JK

I was running again...I always seem to be.

It's extremely dark each direction I turn and I can hear their footsteps gaining on me. I run faster but something is weighing me down. I don't have time to worry, I just have to keep running. My legs are moving so fast but it doesn't seem to propel me further away from the angry footsteps that follow. A hand catches me by the back of my shirt, and I'm flung down to the ground. Everything changes around me and soon I'm looking into the black eyes of the three monsters my nightmares center around. Using knives Jang-hoon my stepfather, Bobby, and my mother begin to skin the flesh from my body, laughing while I scream in agony.

They won't let me die. Each time I think the darkness will swallow me one of them pulls me out.

I try to speak but my vocal cords have been slashed. Now, I cannot make a sound. My stepfather stands over me, his black hair in the shape of devil horns and he's laughing. He and my mother are laughing...

They're all laughing at me.

The room suddenly shifts and it's the frightening face of Lisa standing over me now. She's laughing at me and then out of nowhere Rose joins in, they're laughing at my pain. I try to scream but no one cares. No one will save me. My wrists and ankles are bound to a bed and the laughs grow louder. Tauting, mocking, full of hate and disgust. Lisa is standing to my right and Rose is on my left. They have knives in their hands...They're here to finish what my so called family started. They want to skin me alive!

"You stupid bitch! You're a disgrace. Why would you ever believe that I would care anything about you? I hate you. You disgust me." Lisa speaks, but it's not her voice I hear. It's the deep menacing voice of Jang-hoon.

"You're worthless. You're nothing!" Rose's lips are moving but the voice belongs to Bobby.

"What are you two waiting for? Finish her!" Dam-bi is standing at the foot of the bed holding something in her arms. It's bundled tight in a white blanket. Her hair is shaped into devil horns and a menacing, toothy grin spread across her face.

"Look what I've got Jennie, it's your baby." She moves the blanket from the baby's face. It's the most horrible thing I've ever seen. The baby is disfigured and bloody – the eyes are bloodshot red and there's a wide smile on its face, like it's enjoying watching me suffer.

I thrash around trying to scream to no avail. Lisa rips my heart from my body and holds it in front of my face. "See, you really are a heartless bitch."

I open my eyes, frantically moving them around the room expecting to find all of them standing around my bed, but I'm alone. The sun is shining bright and I can hear the faint sound of birds chirping in the tree outside the window...Thank fuck it was just a dream.

A fucking nightmare that felt so real.

Heaving a sigh of relief, I roll off my side onto my back and stretch. The little one decided to stretch too and, wait for it...Yep! Now I have to pee. Rolling out of bed, which is about the only way I can get out of it nowadays, I hurry into the bathroom to do my duty. Once finished I wash my hands and catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I look like hell, well rested, but definitely not my usual self.

That fucking dream really shook me up. I've had these kinds of horrible nightmares for years but this one was worse because Lisa and Rose were in it. They wanted to hurt me. I splash cold water on my face to help calm me and take a few deep breaths before I have fucking a mental breakdown. Being locked up is starting to get to me. Is this what it's like in prison?
