Your mind was awake now, but your eyes were still closed. It felt like the best sleep of your life but you felt dread in your heart. Anxiety and then sudden sadness, it was so intense you shot up with a light gasp and opened your eyes. You frantically look around the room to make sure your safe, once you believe your okay you get up from bed. You almost stepped on your friend though who was sleeping on a mattress, you quickly moved your feet away from her and you softly eased yourself on the end of the mattress so you wouldn't wake her up. But then you recoiled with another gasp. The moon shined bright through your window revealing blood at the end of the mattress... You realized Jessica wasn't snoring or even breathing. You stepped onto the floor still avoiding Jessica, you move to the side of the mattress that she was facing, her head was under the sheets so you slowly eased the sheets off of her. You saw that her eyes were wide open and her mouth a gape. Your eyes grew wide when you noticed that she was completely cut in half. You covered your mouth with both hands, completely horrified. You stood up and started to back away from her corpse, but then you bumped into something. You expected to bump into your bedroom door but your door was open. "Heheheh" You heard a sinister laugh behind you, as soon as you heard it you let out a startled gasp and you turned and stepped away from whoever it was. You looked up at the evil smile and blue eyes looking down at you. A skeleton covered in black goop and wearing a black hoodie towered over you. The same thing you saw in the woods. "What's the matter human?" He asked taking a few steps towards you, your breathing quickened and you backed up. "Are you afraid?" He continued to walk towards you but slowly. You kept backing up but then you tripped over your backpack and caught yourself on the mattress. You got a little bit of blood on your fingertips in the process. You momentarily looked at your hand but your gaze shot back to the skeleton who was standing right over you now, like a predator stalking it's prey. He stared at you for a moment, his gaze never leaving yours. "W-What do you want?!" You finally said, your voice wavering. He kneeled down to get to your eye level. Suddenly a tentacle grabbed your chin and brought your face closer to his. "I heard that your soul is unlike any other human soul." He said smiling once more. You forced your head away from him. "I-I don't know what your talking about." You said. His smile fell. "It's rude to lie. Show me. Your. Soul!" A few tentacles rapped around your neck a bit tight. Not tight enough to stop your breathing, but enough to threaten your life. "I.. Really don't!" You struggled to speak. He starred at you, the tentacles tightened a bit more. You grabbed the tentacles and struggled to breathe. They tightened more and more, but suddenly the room started to darken as if it was fading out. You thought maybe you were starting to pass out but then it seemed as if the skeleton saw the room darkening too. He growled angrily as if he realized something and then he stood up and lifted you off the ground with him, still holding you by the neck with a tentacle. Your feet were no longer touching the ground, "This isn't over," He said looking you right in the eyes "Your soul will be mine, might wanna wake up before you die in your sleep." He let you go with a smile. You expected to hit the ground but instead you kept falling. Your eyes shot open and you started coughing, you sat up grasping at your chest as you coughed. After a couple minutes your coughing began to slow and eventually go away. You then remembered seeing your friend cut in half, you looked over at the mattress to see that it was completely empty. You panicked but then your phone suddenly went off, you grabbed your phone and turned it on. It was a text from Jessica. "Hey my Mom picked me up early in the morning and I didn't want to wake you up, hope you have a good weekend girl! See you on Monday :)" You sighed of relief and responded "Okay, thanks for coming over." You turned off your phone and looked at the time, it was only 7:20. You looked out the window and saw the sun shining through it. You opened the window to here birds singing and cars driving by. You felt the wind blowing, making your hair gracefully move from side to side. You took a deep breath and closed your eyes. You really loved nature, it was one of the most beautiful things in the world. It made you feel at peace. Suddenly you heard a stick snapping loudly across the street. You lived in a neighborhood where the woods were right across the street, considering the events of yesterday you were in extreme alert mode so your eyes snapped open. You didn't see anyone in the woods at all, you did see the stick that was broken next to a random tree. You assumed it was nothing and decided to ignore it. You closed your window and opened your closet, you knew it wasn't a school day and you didn't have to change your clothes at all but you always felt weird wearing pj's in the morning for some reason. After making yourself breakfast you decided to turn on the TV. You weren't really paying attention to it though, you were just drawing the skeleton you saw in your nightmare, remembering how real it felt. You woke up coughing for gods sake of course you were gonna take it seriously. But then you abruptly stopped drawing, the news was on and it had said something that caught your attention. "Strange things have been reported. People are saying they've seen these moving skeletons dressed as super heroes." You giggled to yourself, that's probably the strangest thing you would hear all day. You continued to draw. "We thought these people might have been crazy, but that was before they showed us these videos that they recorded." You looked up, expecting some poorly edited video. But then you saw a video of three skeletons. The camera shook as they jumped up in the air to avoid some blue strings, the camera moved to see two more skeletons. One of them looked very familiar, it was the one from your dream. You gasped and practically dropped your pencil. One of the three was holding a bow and arrow, shooting at the two other ones. They dodged and the person holding the camera started running with the other crowd of people, and suddenly the camera dropped to the ground "Whoa!!" Said the person behind the camera as the recording stopped. "As you can see it is clearly not edited and looks very realistic. We think that they're monsters but monsters don't live in this area." You weren't listening anymore, you were too lost in your racing thoughts. This meant that you were in trouble, that skeleton literally wanted your soul. Another video popped up on the screen and you looked up at it. The whole crowd of people was silent and you realized it was because the three skeletons were standing on the roof of a building. They were saying stuff like "Don't worry we will take care of them, your safe as long as were here." Although you could hear some of the words they were saying, it was still a little hard to hear them clearly. Eventually you heard them say your own name. Your heart raced as you heard the crowd murmuring, momentarily your name was said multiple times. You were confused then the video ended. "It is a little hard to hear them in the video but the person who recorded this says that they are looking for someone named (Y/N) and that they have a very special human soul. We don't know who this person is but we hope that we will not be attacked again. In other news-" Your eyes widened, some skeletons are looking for you right now and for what. A soul? You then realized this might have something to do with the story of human souls being more powerful than monster souls. Souls.. what does a soul look like? After a while, Jessie called you and asked you if you had seen the news. You and her talked for hours about it, and eventually you both said bye and hung up. You were so scared that at any moment you could be taken away from your home. You decided to just stay in your house and just did normal things, but all throughout the day you kept thinking about the nightmare, and what you saw and heard on the news. You were scared for your life, and didn't know what to do. Should you run away? Or would that put you at a bigger risk?! Staying put isn't a good idea either. You spent the rest of the day worrying about what to do, but once it turned 9:56 at night something happened...
