I was assumed to be at the hospital my mother was always in, but in an elevator. This elevator was not realistic in any way. It was dimly lit, the lighting almost appeared yellow. The farthest corner angled from me was split into two glass walls. Behind these glass panels, I can see what looks to be outside of the elevator. The wire arrangements, but sideways. I appeared to be holding onto some kind of bars from my perspective. Then a behind view showed me just staring at the corner between the glass walls. I had spoken out loud, "Please, just tell me you're here." I assume I was trying to speak to my mother. I thought nothing would happen, but as soon as I blinked I saw a distorted black misty figure reach for me, screaming. I was set into shock and quickly ran behind an odd wall corner in the elevator. I pushed the backdown button still afraid to look back. I ran out of the elevator as soon as the doors opened. I was running trying to go as fast as possible, but tripping on almost every step I took. I saw a flight of stairs but never went down or up any. It appeared to be just a vision of that scene in my mind for a split second. It was pitch black, but every few minutes moonlight from random windows would come through to show the hospital hall I was running down. As I ran I was crying and after every few breaths screamed ____'s name. Eventually, I was too weak and exhausted to continue running. I fell to my knees with my eyes closed. Almost as if I were fainting, but had just enough energy not to. I was facing forward, from the windows angle I'd be facing right. I felt arms wrap around me from behind gently. I flinched and out of fear still in me I tried to release myself from whoever's grasp I may have been in. I then heard ____, his voice sounded like it came from in front of me. When I looked up he wasn't there, I look at the arms wrapped around me and assumed it was him. I then began hearing the scream I heard in the elevator from both ends of the hallway or was it just in my mind? I once again tried to break from ____'s grasp. He kept a strong and tight hold on me, refusing to let me go. After a while, I stop struggling. I proceed to sit there in ____'s arms just crying. He then turns me around to face him, he places my head against his chest. The hallway nearly felt like it was getting darker and colder. The screaming began again in my mind, but much louder. I was violently shaking at this point, ____ just held me as tight as he could. Once my shaking had stopped ____ lifted my chin to see my face. His expression was a combination of fear and shock. The same expression I had in the elevator. He wiped, what I thought were tears on my face, was blood. A very dark and crimson shade of red was now on his hands. He didn't seem to care he just smiled sweetly and lifted me off the ground with him. I got up facing him, my eyes looking past him to see what looked to be myself. Except, I didn't look okay. The end of the hall I was facing was much darker and ominous looking. The lights were flickering to what looked like the race of heartbeat during a panic attack. This version of myself had very ripped and torn clothes. The clothing looked as if a rapid animal or creature attacked her. She had bandages around her ankles, neck, and arms. The bandages on her arms had blood seeping through them. Her face and legs had bruises covering them. Blood was on her lips and cheeks. Her hair was messy and ragadey. She was holding her elbows and slouching over slightly. I then looked behind me to see a more lite and normal-looking hallway with another version of myself. This one smiling cheerfully with her hand out towards me. Her hair is long and beautiful. She was wearing a simple light blue dress and a pair of white sandals. She kept gesturing me towards her mouthing, "It's okay, come on." I look back to the more frightening me and walk towards her. She looks down and starts mumbling to herself. I look back at ____ in the middle of the hall him visible by a beam of moonlight. While looking at him the dark me speaks, but only when I look away from her. She repeats to me, "Trust him, love him, let him in, don't make him leave us, or else it'll be too late." I looked back at her, and her eyes flashed with a sharp bright blue that causes my chest to ache. I nod my head, I then try to reach for her to hug her, but before I can she turns to ash. I turn around to look at ____, but he's with the happy looking me. I walk towards the middle of the hall to only see ____ and happy I vanish. I stood in the middle of the hall, I looked left to right. Retaking in both ends of the hallway. I face the windows to see a dark sky filled with tiny stars and smoke. And look up at the ceiling saying aloud, "Let me go home to him, please." I feel myself begin to fall forward and before I do, I wake up shaking and in tears.
