You begin to dream;
"You wake up in the same bed you fell asleep in, out the window you can see trees and the sun breaking through the green tree tops. The sun shining through the leaves illuminating everything in a lime green hue and the gentle movements of the tree tops calm you after the past days events. Judging by the light outside it seems late. You go to open one of the window panels, it's sticking a bit. But after a bit more force you manage to get it open. As the window opens the room is filled with the sound of birds singing and the smell of the forest. You leave open the window as you decide to go downstairs. You walk towards the door and grab the door handle. You get chills down your spine as the wind sends a breeze in through the window. You look back over your shoulder towards the window and it's completely dark outside. You turn completely around facing the window. Leaning up against the closed door, as a pair of red eyes seem to stare at you from outside not far from the window itself. You can feel your heart starting to beat faster and faster as you try to feel for the doorknob with your right hand while staring back at the red eyes. You finally find the doorknob after what seemed like an eternity. You don't even look at the door as you open it and hurry to the other side. Closing the door behind you as fast as you can, pressing your back up against the door as you manage to get out into the hallway. You don't even look around, you just close your eyes and sit down while still pressed up against the door with your back. After you manage to slow down your heart rate a bit and calm down, you think about how loud you must have smashed the door shut and why neither Shiro or Taro hadn't come up to see. You open your eyes to look around as you suddenly fall backwards and land on the ground with a thud. Sending leaves flying everywhere. You're startled and let out a scream, you're outside on the ground, how? You look up and see the trees have lost all their leaves, the moon is shining through the bare tree tops leaving an eerie feeling and chills to run down your spine. You get up quickly after remembering those red eyes from earlier. You frantically look around to spot them, but you don't see them anywhere. You spin around yourself again and again trying to locate the red eyes. You lose all sense of direction you may have had. As you stop spinning you're out of breath and your heart is racing even more than before. You look up at the moon, it feels like it's straight above your head looking down at you. It's like it calls to you. You keep looking at it like in a trance when something loud just fell down right behind you. You jolt and scream while turning around as fast as you possibly could. A big tree is lying on the ground. You hear a low growl and you take slow steps backwards. You see the red eyes starting to show at the ridge of the fallen tree. You bolt in the opposite direction, running as fast as you can. You can hear it chasing you. Loud thuds and occasional growls close behind you. When suddenly you seem to get nowhere and look down, you're running but not moving. You stop and look around, it's nowhere to be seen. And the forest behind you seems to disappear slowly in a cloud of darkness. The darkness is creeping closer and you panic but can't move a muscle. Is this it? Am I going to die? Your thoughts running wild in panic. As the darkness reaches you, you wake up with a scream in the room you fell asleep in.
You can’t figure out if it was a dream or reality, it seemed too real to just be a dream. But it was way too weird to be anything else but a dream?
You look at the door as you hear footsteps approaching, your heart beats faster as you wait for someone to come in.
The footsteps stop in front of the door, it seems like minutes have passed and no one is knocking or coming into the room you are in. You can’t hear any footsteps leaving either, is there someone just waiting outside your door? or were you just imagining things?
You wait for a few more minutes before you move to get out of the huge bed you slept in. You aren’t wearing any socks and as you put your legs over the edge of the bed and put your feet down on the floor, you feel a soft and fluffy rug. You look down and see a small white round rug, your feet are almost engulfed in the fibers of the rug. It’s very comfortable and before you get up, you touch it with your feet and play around a little with the fluffiness of it. You’re thinking of how you ended up in this room as you look around. You vaguely remember things that happened before you fell asleep, but a lot of it is still like it’s hidden behind a thick fog. You remember sitting down and drinking tea with 2 handsome looking young men and admiring their taste in furniture, but you’re unsure how you ended up in this house. You remember one of the buttons on the dark haired guys coat, a decorated cross, made with tiny pieces of dark red and black stones. It seemed very familiar but everytime you try to remember where you saw this before your head hurts and the fog gets thicker, making it harder to remember how it looked on his coat as well.
