I have had the same nightmare for 2 month. Every night, without a fail. I am asleep in my room with my two sisters when a creaking sound wakes me. I sit up in bed and look around to find out that my two sisters are gone. Rain lashes the windowpanes with no one beside me I started to panic as the thunders strikes lighting up my dark room. I hear the creaking again. The door of my room is slightly ajar and slowly opening. Beyond it is something horrifying, a dark hallway full of claws and fangs, something I never and will ever see but always knew is there. It suddenly feel cold in here as if someone was blowing cold air in my neck I felt shivers and I cannot stop myself from trembling. I looked around hoping to find my sisters but they are really not here. I heard the door opening but I knew it was someone dangerous, I jumped out of bed and rush to close the door, but I cant- whatever is on the other side is too strong.

"Help me!" I call desperately but I knew no one not even my sisters are there to help me.

I startle awake, in the same bed and the same room. Just another nightmare, I tell myself. I lie there for a moment, still trembling when I heard that creaking sound, I see the door starting to open again so I jump out of bed and rush to close it, shouting for help desperately and realizing my sisters where gone. Again, I will wake up in bed and see the door open. I will wake a hundred times, lost in the madness of this nightmare until finally sunlight stream through my windows and burns the scene away, I will be woken up by my mother or my sisters to come down and eat breakfast with them. 

Since my older sister died I started having this dreams or more likely nightmares that haunts me every night not letting me escape for a bit making me crazy. "Is this what you want Lina?" I whispered to myself still scared that she might get me. Yes,  I was the reason why my older sister died and this is her way of revenge. Haunting my dreams never letting herself escape my thoughts trying to take me with her in the afterlife. I still Maddie and Lana with me but I know they can never protect me I need to protect myself they could do anything to stop her nor they ever knew that I killed Lina.

Dealing with this alone, I am afraid, I am afraid that maybe one night, I will never wake. I will be doomed to rush to that door over and over again, running from a nightmare my sister made in which I am always, forever, lost.
