The Nightmare

I was somewhere in a very dark place. It looked as if the place was haunted. The sky was pitch black and there were weird looking stones everywhere. Suddenly, I felt as if someone was watching me from the back.

I turned around and saw the scariest scene ever. There were many dark figures surrounding me, they were wearing a black cloth with a hood. As i looked down at their hands, I saw that they were carrying a weapon,

it was a scythe. Oddly one of the figure was holding a weird looking book in its hands. I was trying to figure out what kind of book it was, when suddenly there was a big dark hole in the ground beneath my feet. I screamed as I fell down into the dark hole. I was falling deeper and deeper inside the hole. I was screaming for my life as I thought I was going to die.

I woke up on the floor beside my bed as i felt pain in my head. I must have fallen down from my bed. I heard the door of my room opening and saw my bestfriend Sara as she rushed towards me.

" What on earth happened here? Are you alright? I heard you screaming when I was about to take shower and then heard a thud noise." Sara said with a worried look her eyes.

I blankly stared at her while trying to proceed with everything in my mind. After blinking twice, I looked at her and replied.

"Uh......well, its nothing. You see I just fell off from my bed that's why I screamed, hehe." I awkwardly said.

Sara looked at me and started laughing.

"Gee.....you really scared me. You seriously fell down from your bed? Haha. How can you be so clumsy?"

She said in a mocking tone.

I pushed her away and got up from the floor.

"Shut up! I am going to get ready before we get late for the class." I went towards my bathroom as i could still hear her laughing behind me. I opened the door nob and went inside the bathroom while pouting.

**Sara and I were walking on our way to the university\, which is not really far from our house. I came to this place six months ago. My parents live in UK. I always wanted to study abroad for my further studies\, so I applied for a university in New York. As the university doesn't give dorm facility to the students\, so I decided to rent a house with my bestfriend Sara. Since then I moved in with Sara in the same house. **

Sara and I have different classes so we separated our ways.

I was siting in my class and looking outside the window. I was thinking about the nightmare that I saw the other night. It was really strange as I have never seen a nightmare like that before. It almost felt real,as if I really was in that situation. I am not the type of person who usually have many dreams. By the time I go to bed I am always so exhausted that I don't even see dreams many time.

I was lost in my thoughts when i got interrupted by the voice of the professor.

After the class was dismissed, I decided to go to the library to read a good book to set my mind off from my thoughts.

I was searching for a book that I hadn't finished last time, when suddenly my eyes fell on a familiar looking book. It was kept in the corner of the shelf in the library. I picked up the book from the shelf and looked at its front page.

The book fell from my hands when I realized that it was the same book that I had seen in my dream. How could this be possible? It has to be a coincidence, right? Maybe I might have seen this book in the library before and that's why I saw it in my dream. There is no way it could be same book. I was getting really confused. I picked the book up from the floor and put it back to the shelf from where I had taken it. As i heard a bell I decided to go back to my class.

After all our classes were our, I was standing at the gate of our university and was waiting for Sara to come out.

I was still thinking about what had happened in the library today, when I heard a familiar voice calling my name.

"Charlotte!" Sara shouted from a distance while running towards me.

"Took you long enough." I said with a annoyed face.

She laughed and said,

"Well, I always have to wait for you when you get late, so I think you deserve to know how it feels to wait for someone." She ended her sentence with a sarcastic smile.

I sighed and said,

"Anyways...... we should get going or else I will be late for my part time job."

"why do you always work so hard? You never even go to party with me anymore. You are no fun." She said with a bored face. I laughed at her statement.

We were walking on our way back while talking about the day. Then I parted ways with her as the cafe I work in was on opposite different to our house.

I was taking orders from the customers at the counter and taking money from them. I then felt as if I saw something outside the cafe but as I looked up I saw nothing. I got back to my work and started working again.

After finishing my work at the cafe, I was going on my way back to home. The streets were lonely and dark as no one was out at this hour.The cold breeze that was passing by me every second sent me chills. To get back to my home I had to pass by a alley. In front of the alley was my house. So, I was walking through the alley when I suddenly heard some noise. I looked around but I was all alone in the alley by myself. I brushed it off and started walking again.

I was almost at the end of the alley when I saw something standing at the end of the alley. As I got a clear view of it, I froze in my spot. I saw the same dark figure from the dream. I rubbed my eyes, thinking I was seeing things.But when I again looked up at it, I still saw the figure standing there and staring into my soul. By this point I was really scared and confused. I didn't know what to do or what was going on. I thought there is only one way to get out of here, and that is to run. I ran as fast as I could while closing my eyes and passing through the figure.

I reached my house and quickly opened the door. I went inside and looked the door behind me.

I was panting heavily and started feeling dizzy.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH ME?" I thought as I passed out.
