Just a dream

I never knew a dream could be so horrific

I woke late that night and my window was open. My curtains were strangely torn and there was a blood stained message on my ripped blind. My heart is thumping through my chest. "Alexan!!!" I screech "HELP ME!!!" I scream again.

I hear loud footsteps coming towards my bedroom door. It creaks open. Then my cousin Jerade comes rushing in, but it's not Jerade. It's a unfamiliar Jerade, it's a ghost-like Jerade. He has a evil, wicked and nasty grin on his face and his mouth is reeking with blood. One of his eyes is closed but the eyelid is black, purple and blue. Like he'd been beat up by a gang of Lumberjacks. The other eye has dripping blood all around it and the eyeball is frozen, stiff and hard as stone. He has a ultimate nosebleed. He has purple and black scars everywhere you could imagine and there all dripping with blood. The top quarter of his head is gone like it's been sliced perfectly and all you can see is his skull. Blood is pouring from his skull down his face and his neck. He cackles my name in horror and roars with laughter. All I can do is stare...

Now, my very first instinct would be to kick and punch but since I'm now frozen stiff I'm way past any type of karate or commando.

Jerade viciously grabs my shirt and tears the collar. He ferociously drags me up to his abysmal face. He spits vulgar blood all over my face and hisses in my ear "One day I will kill all of you, and there is absolutely nothing at all you can do to stop me!!!" He cries one horrific and sickening cackle. Then he aggressively releases my shirt. He violently jerks me backwards and my head collided into the back wall. I moan as my head starts gushing out blood. I feel the back of my head and get it all over my hands. He cackles again. Then he steadily backs away and fades into the darkness. Then he shrieks "Nothing at all!!!"

When he fades away and i'm sure he is gone I decide to go and take a look to see if Jerade is sound asleep in his bed, but as I get out I think to myself, 'should I do this' I mean Jerade could be there waiting for me to come...

It's too risky. I'm just about to head back to my room when I hear a faint twinkling sound, like a song. I try and think what it is. Then I remember, my sister Alleyah got a box with a ballet dancer in it and it goes twinkle twinkle twinkle, like a song. She was playing with it yesterday. Or today, since it's just before midnight now. Just one question, why would she be playing with it at nearly midnight???

I walk gingerly down the corridor. I'm freaked right now, I gradually open her door. It has a blood stained. message on it saying 'EnTeR iF yOu DaRe!!!' I think to myself, should I be doing this, if I go in I could be killed. Then I remember, I know it's just a dream I'll wake up soon don't worry. I push the door again. It slowly creaks open. The twinkle gets louder 'twinkle twinkle twinkle' !!!

Then I see her. She is sat there in the dark staring at her ballet dancer. It's quite freaky. He head is fixed on it like she is remote controlled. Blood is oozing down her face and her neck. He hair is jagged and messed up and her clothes are ripped and torn. Then suddenly her head darts to the side and blood flies through the moonlit room. Her eyes are pale and stiff and her head is fixed in the spot she's in. Her eyes are firmly fixed on mine. Staring straight at me! I scream and stagger back to my room. Her door flies open again as I dive under my covers. Then I think, if this is a dream, how have I not woken up yet! I can still hear the faint sound of her ballet dancer.

Then I hear her footsteps and her staggering down the corridor. Then the noise gets louder and louder and louder and louder. Then the pain in my head comes back. I uncover myself from the covers. WHY HAVEN'T I WOKE UP YET!?!?!?!? Then my door flies open. There she is. The walking horror, blood gushing from her face. Clothes torn. Scars everywhere. Her head is tilted to the side like a possessed doll. Her pale and stone eyes are fixed on mine, and her pale and bloody face is pointing in my direction.

I cover my ears and close my eyes and dive under the covers again. All I can hear is this "JoSi, jOsI, Josi!" Then I hear the twinkle twinkle twinkle of Her ballet dancer. Then Jerade comes back again and screams "NOTHING CAN STOP ME!!!" Then twinkle twinkle twinkle...

Then I open my eyes, and I sit up, I look around my bedroom and it's back to normal. It was just a dream!!! Thank god for that!!! There are no moans and wails. I scream "Alexan!!!" He comes rushing in. Normal, no blood. "I had a terrible, terrible, terrible dream Alexan!"
He gives me a hug and holds my hand. He's my favourite brother! "Its ok Josi, it's just a dream." He says sympathetically. He asks me what it was about and stands there while I explain the whole thing in every little detail. He gasps, "oh, Josi! That's terrible!!!" I nod. He takes me into mum and after she hears my dream she let's me stay in her bed. Since mums got a queen sized bed, and dad is unfortunately dead. It's a long story. Alexan gives me a hug and a kiss and goes back to bed. I snuggle up to mum and wonder, what dream am I going to have next?...
