weird... I feel weird.... I struggled and opened my eyes to see a black ceiling. The whole room was pitch black . " huh is there a power cut? " was my first thought when I was fully awake. I touched here and there, sitting on my bed, searching for my phone. After searching for about 2 minutes, I found my phone near the bed board. I quickly turned on the flash light on my phone the next second I got it in my hands. Only after seeing the light spreading in the room. I was able to give a sigh of relief. As a person afraid of the dark, these two minutes felt like hours. God knows how many creepy thoughts came into my mind. Coupled with the fact that this is midnight and there is a sudden power cut, it boosted my mind to have an ability of thinking more and more creepily. I picked up my courage, took my phone and walked towards the window and opened it thinking that I could get some moonlight, lighting up my room. But when I opened the window all I got in return was the cold night wind and the moon was nowhere to be seen; "Great! it is a black moon"
I felt powerless in this situation. I had the feeling of fear, spreading in me, little by little. Trying hard to calm down the panic spreading in me. I wanted to find my parents to get me a sense of security. My house has two floors. I live upstairs while my parents live downstairs. So I went down the spiral stairs ,one by one. Only to find that the whole living room was dark and not a single place had been lightened up. I can only see the places where my flashlight passed by. Weird.... The weird feeling spread in my body once again. I felt puzzled. My parents are light sleepers ,both of them will wake up with the slightest disturbance but now it looks like they're probably not awake yet. "Mom-dad" I shouted from the end of the stairs thinking that both of them were awake and were still in the room. But what replied to me is an eerie silence...
I felt very scared at this time. Now, I had only one thought that is to rush into my parents room, get into their bed and cuddle into their arms and feel their embrace, and so I did. I rushed in the direction of my parents room and opened the door. " Mom-Dad" no one answered "I am coming in" . I went near the bed and pulled the blanket and turned the flashlight on towards them for me to see them clearly.
AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
( A miserable shout broke the eerie silence of the house )
"Mom-Dad"
"wake up "
" there is blood "
" I am scared "
" wake up "
" please "
" I am scared "
I silently cried. I am scared, really scared. No matter how I keep shouting they won't wake. " why don't you wake up " . I wanted to call the police only to see that my phone had already shut down. " No no no " I felt really miserable. I wanted to search for my parents phone and call for help but the darkness prevented me from doing so.
Suddenly I heard someone entering the room and felt that person rushing towards me....
"WHO?!?!?!"
I suddenly fell into a cold embrace. I struggled hard. I soon heard a low male voice from above my head, "My dear Mia, why struggle, do you hate me " . I didn't know whether it was a reflex. I shouted back " Ray, it's you, why did you kill them?". After shouting it out, I felt puzzled. Who is Ray, how do I know him, why don't I have a memory of him knowing me, Why is he here; Countless questions passed through my mind but I just kept asking "why? why? why?".
The man who embraced me replied "why?". I heard him chuckle slightly. My heart started beating faster and faster. "Because after that no one will ask me to let them share my Mia's love". I was shocked. My Heart skipped a beat. Soon I started to scold him " you psycho! you killed them! I hate you, I hate you". I heard my own voice fading little by little. I felt the arms around me tightening and then I heard the man's voice again saying "I love you ,my dear Mia"
The sweet confession of the man felt like a death sentence to me.
I hate it....
I hate it....
I closed my eyes and forcefully opened them again ,only to see the same black ceiling once more. I quickly found my phone and checked the time. It was midnight on the same day .I felt that this was a dream. I pinched myself. I felt the pain ."This is real ,This is real". I felt tears flowing out of my eyes. I cried. I remembered what happened just now. My heart felt cold again.
I quickly turned on the Flashlight, got off the bed and rushed towards the stairs. I climbed down the same spiral stairs. I kept shouting "Mom-dad, Mom-dad" but I did not see the same black hall in my dream but it was a candle lighted hall, in which its light I saw my parents sitting on the sofa talking to each other
I rushed towards them "mum dad". They heard me shouting and turned towards me . My mum opened her arms and took me into her embrace, feeling the warm embrace I felt alive again. I finally couldn't control my emotions and started crying again. My mum just patted my back and kept comforting me, " what's wrong tell mom?".
"I had a scary nightmare, I am scared". Hearing my reply, my mom just kept comforting me, "there, there, it is just a dream, it's alright now, don't be scared" . My mother's words had a magical effect on me and calmed me down. My father at that time made fun of me by saying "everyone look at the big baby who had a Nightmare and is crying for her mother" and started laughing by himself. Even though my dad's joke eased the atmosphere. I felt a little dissatisfied and embarrassed . So I dug myself deeper into my mother's embrace and couldn't help but say " "mom~". My mother received my signal and started to scold my dad angrily "look at you, the child is scared and yet as a father, you are laughing at her". " Wife~" I heard my dad's low and pitiful voice of begging sorry to my mother and his appearance made me laugh. As I started laughing, The final bit of the solemn atmosphere vanished. Seeing me laugh, my dad said "look wife I made her laugh now can you forgive me" but my unlucky dad only got an angry "humph" from my mom.
"mom can I sleep with you for a few days" I asked. I really want to sleep with them to relieve the last bit of uneasiness in me . I looked at my dad and felt that he was about to say something but was stopped by my mother "ok you can " . After getting the answer I needed, I rushed towards their bedroom . After reaching the door and seeing them not following. I couldn't help but urge them "mum dad, come quickly". Hearing my shout, my parents looked at each other and smiled helplessly and followed me into the room. In the bed the warmth of my parents made me believe that all what happened just now was really a dream
( but she didn't know that she would meet her Nightmare again )
Two months later............
It's been 2 months since that incident . Even though the dream has haunted me all the time. I decided to ignore it. Now I am lying on my classroom desk looking outside the window. Soon I heard my deskmates whispering "looks like we have a new classmate" " yeah he looks handsome as well". While they were whispering ,the teacher announced the identity of the unknown boy "Attention students, this boy will be our new classmate . I hope everyone gets along with each other". "yes miss" the whole classroom shouted. Then I heard that voice, the voice that evoked my deepest fear. "Hello everyone, I am Ray, I will be your new Classmate from now on. I hope we will get along with each other". I quickly lifted my head to see him. it's him .it's him again. My whole body began to tremble with fear. His eyes looked like he was searching for someone. Soon his eyes stopped at me. Our eyes met. He smiled at me and a dark light flashed by his eyes. My fear increased along with my heart beat. Then I saw him mouthing the words "We Meet Again, My Love".....
The End.
