Leaning against my bed post drenched in sweat, tears blurring my vision, I hear as the steps grow louder and louder.

Making my way down from the bed, I run and hide under the table seeking refuge from what I don't even know. I watch as the door knob turns and a silent creek is heard as the door opens further. Tears streaming down my eyes uncontrollably I yelp as the figure makes its way towards me.

" Dear pls come out it's time for u to go to school." The voice shouts looking around for me. Then she stops and finds me under the table.

"Hon pls come out I won't hurt u I swear pls come out" she whispers as tears blur her vision.

Then it all comes back to me. It's just my mom and I'm in my room. No one would hurt me. Coming right into my mothers arms, I hear her whisper its OK while soothing my hair down my face.

"Dear do you still want to go to school today?" She asks soothingly

"Yes mom it's OK I'm fine. Just a bad dream." I whisper. Standing on my feet, I make my way to the bathroom hoping the warm water clears the chills up in my brain.
