My lungs will scream
And my heart will pound
In terror of the dream
I fall to the ground

The night slowly morphed into day and Nara surged to life on her bed. It had been a long night. She and her boyfriend, Chase had drank all night till they had slept off. Then she'd had this really terrible nightmare. She and Chase had been walking through the woods, laughing and looking for skylarks. They had strayed too far and were getting lost. They were about to turn around and find their way back when suddenly a weird black creature appeared in front of them. It brought a strange, dark and cold atmosphere with it. It spelt nothing but pure evil.

It floated and drifted in the air leaving a trail of black behind. It's eyes seemed like ice, blank and cold. It was all covered in black and sorrounded by a dark mast. Whatever part of his skin that was exposed was pale. It looked like death or a grim reaper.
"Run!", Chase, her boyfriend had screamed and they both took to their heels.
The creature followed after them, almost seeming like it was making no effort to keep up with them. No matter hard the ran, it was always just behind them. As they ran, Chase fell to the ground, tripped by a lying twig.
The creature flew in and picked him up. It enveloped him in a dark mass then kissed him, sucking out what seemed to be his soul. Nara fell to the ground in fear as she watched in awe. The creature slowly moved towards her. She tried screaming but no sound came out. She tried standing but her legs were too weak to stand and refused to walk her. The creature moved nearer and nearer and as it was about to kiss her she had woken up.
Still shivering from the strange nightmare, she headed into her bathroom. She was still a bit spooked but thankful it was just a dream. As she picked up her brush and layed toothpaste on its bristle, she felt what seemed like cold water splash on her back. However, she didn't see any water fall to the ground and neither was she wet or soaked in water. So what exactly was it. It felt more like a hand but as she looked behind her she saw nothing. She panted in fear, looking around just to be sure nothing weird was going to creep up on her
Just then, she looked to her right and staggered back, very startled. She saw Chase lying on the floor near her tub looking lifeless. His face seemed pale amd his eyes were open but blank. She backed away from his body and looked behind her again. What seemed like a flurry shadows flew past her, enveloping her in the same strange, cold and dark atmosphere she had felt in her nightmare. Shivering in fear, she staggered backwards and slipped
As she was about to fall, she was caught by solid muscular arms. She caught a whiff of the perfume. It was Chase. She could identify his signature fagrance from anywhere.
"Watch it, Nara!", he said with a smile.
She pulled away from his grasp, "You were dead just now, Chase."
"What the fuck are you saying?", Chase retorted, his face creased into a frown
"You were lying there dead!"
"No, I was sleeping. I guess I drank too much last night" he said, then rubbing his temple "I think I'm having the worst hangover ever, and so are you"
"I was pretty sure. . . ."
"Shush. Hallucinations", Chase said, putting his hand to his mouth and walking towards her.
Slowly he held her arm.
His grasp was cold.
She looked up at him with apprehension
"Oh yes, I am dead", he said with a sly grin

Nara pulled away but as she turned to run, she was lifted up into the air and eveloped in dark mass. The dark creature moved what seemed like lips close to her lips and kissed her. She felt her life go out of her as it sucked her soul out. . . .
Relief finds room for escape
Heaved in pants and sighs
Inhale, exhale through every gape
Fear is seen within her eyes

She surged to life on her bed, panting severely. What was all this? A nightmare in a nightmare? She looked to her side. Chase was right where he was when they had gone to bed last night. Beside her! Infact, he was sleeping like a baby.
She buried her head in her arms in fatigue and heaved a sigh of relief but was too scared to go into the bathroom or touch Chase for that matter. She then looked to her left where he lay and got startled. Chase had disappeared
"Boo!", she heard him chant behind her.
She took to her heels and by the time she regained her senses she was already at the centre of a road. A road she didn't recognise. A road far away from home. Perhaps, she'd been so scared she had run so far. What was wrong with her. Why did she let a very crazy nightmare get into her head. She would have to return home and apologise to Chade for running away from him like that. The first step however was finding her way home. Suddenly the headlights of a car flashed in her eyes.
The brakes ceased and the car screeched as it rammed into her, slamming her hard into the ground. Blood splattered all over sidewalk.
She surged to life on her bed. . . . . . She felt as though she had been hit by a bus.
