I was running from someone. I don't know who. "Wait, I won't hurt you just stop please!" This man was chasing me. The knight is filled with the moon's light so it was easy for me to see were I was going. I ran to the woods so it would be harder for him since it was quite easy for me to run through the woods. He kept telling me to stop, that he wasn't going to hurt me. I kept running but, every time that he yelled at me I would hesitate. His voice was extremely familiar. It sounded like my father's voice. I turned around and tripped over a log. I was rolling down a hill and I was getting scratched up. I stopped at a tree. My body hit it really bad and I couldn't move that much. "Are you okay?!?" Said the man running towards me. I tried getting up but I couldn't get up. The man bend down to me I didn't really look at him "get away from me!" I screamed. He grabbed hold of my wrist and stopped instantly, "Minica?" He whispered. I opened my eyes and looked at him like I've seen a ghost, "daddy, your alive?" I said in complete disbelief.

I shot straight up on my bed. I looked all around me panting. I realized that I was dreaming. It was a nightmare. My dad was alive and he didn't even know he was chasing me until he saw my face. He was alive! I've never had a dream about him so why now?... It's probably just because of what happened this morning in the woods. It doesn't mean anything,"doesn't mean anything," I said to myself. I let myself fall back to my pillow and tried to go to sleep but I couldn't. I stayed up the rest of the night thinking.
