Lunar dreams and Lucid nightmares.

Chapter 1 The town of new beginnings

Sawyers POV

A scattered dream is like a far-off memory. A far-off memory is like a scattered dream. Have you ever lived a normal life and then in a blink of an eye everything changes? What used to be normal became abnormal. What was once a good dream, became a nightmare and when everything you hold dear disappears. You live in fear of what might happen. In fear in what you might do.

Hi, my name is Sawyer Lynch. I'm a 24 years old college student and I've been on the run for 6 years now. It all started when I was 18 years old. It was a pretty average, every day, normal daily life. I can't remember much of what happened that night, but one thing is clear. Because I can see it all in my nightmares. That night I came home angry, because I found out my girlfriend was cheating on me with my best friend. I was so angry and then suddenly there was this searing headache and then next thing I know I woke up naked in my backyard. When I opened my eyes, I found myself naked and covered in blood. I freaked out and I ran back inside my house, where I saw my house trashed, my walls covered in blood and gashes and in the living room, the bodies of what used to be my family. Their bodies covered in claw marks and blood and was torn apart. I looked around, but I couldn't see my sister. I searched the house until I came inside her room. My little sister of only 10 years old laid there looking at me with cold soulless eyes.

I knew my family was dead, but I could have never figured out how it happened. It scared me because I was covered in blood, but no injuries. My hand was drenched in blood and I couldn't remember what happened to my parents and sister and there were claw marks. I put two and two together and eventually came up with the conclusion that I had something to do with it. Ever since that night I've been haunted by these nightmares. It always starts the same way. I wake up in a dark, misty forest, wandering around under the light of the full moon. I've never knew why, but there was always this massive, most terrifying beast, with searing red eyes and claws with a tall and thick muscular frame that appears within the dreams. It would chase me down and when it finally catches up to me, I usually wake up. I've notice that whenever I start getting these bad headaches, it always results into a blackout. And every time I do black out, I wake up covered in blood once again and worse the next day I see on the news about a few victims covered in blood and claw marks. I needed to find out what happens when I black out. So, I had a camera installed, and from what I saw was beyond terrifying. That massive beast from my nightmares, was me. My family's death, all those deaths of the last few places I've been to, all of those was me.

This time though the dream was different. Not a good different though. I see images flashing in my head. I was standing in my house, surrounded by my family, laughing and talking then I see my sister running inside the living room with me close behind and out of breath. I remember this. This was the day I turned 18 and Ruby caught me sleeping outside on the newly fresh cut grass in our backyard.

"Mom, Sawyer was sleeping outside again!" she yelled.

"I wasn't", I tried to deny it, but my mom gives me a knowing look and I grumbled. "No one likes a tattletale," I growled to her before I playfully grabbed her hair and gave it a small tug. She laughs before turning to give me a hug, yelling "happy birthday" at the top of her lungs and with a wide smile I wrapped her in a tight hug as I smiled brightly at my sister. I grit my teeth and clenched my fist as I tried to keep myself from crying. It was torture seeing this again. Out of longing...I guess, I reached for my sister, but my hands phased through her and suddenly the room changed into the school hall filled with lockers. I see myself walking towards the chemistry door, where I found my girlfriend and best friend kissing. I saw myself punch my so-called best friend square in the jaw and then the room changed once again. I see my mom screaming as something chased her down and killed her.

"MOM, NOOOO!" I screamed in vain.

I turned to see my father already dead on the kitchen floor and I heard the scream of a little girl. I knew it was my sister and I rushed towards her bedroom, where I saw that beast walking towards her. Her panicked eyes filled with tears before it mauled her. I fell to my knees shaking as I watched her soulless eyes looking straight at me. Then the room started changing again. This time I was standing near a lake. Then I saw something with glowing eyes beneath. Then I saw a sign that says, "Welcome to Wonders Cove." I was then in a lake, underwater and I couldn't breathe. I swam towards the surface, but something grabbed me. I turned to see this female like creature with tattered clothes and tentacles grabbing on to my lower abdomen tightly and pulling me under. I reached for the surface, but it was no use.
