Dream or reality (250 words)

Nala, a small girl with long, curly, fluffy blonde hair from Minnesota was at home reading her favourite book, when someone she never wanted to see again strutted proudly through her sluggish doorway.
"Hello Nala." An all to familiar voice said.
"Dan?" She had worry in her voice. The last time she saw him was when he was sent to jail under a week ago. She looks at her arm and saw scars and bruises that are fading. "It's been 1 week." She was worried that he might hurt her again. He raised his large hand to her cheek... She felt the sting of the collision against her cheek.
"You have misbehaved for the last time!" His voice was mad,it reminded her of the hurt he caused. "You have disobeyed me for the last time. I hope you have said goodbye to everyone! But now it's time to be killed!" He reached behind him and grabbed a knife he had in his back pocket as he yelled the last part to her. The knife glimmered in the light, showing of the pointed blade at it's worse.
As she crawled to the corner of the room, it felt like she had been in this position one to many times before. As he walked towards her, he raised the the shiny sharp knife a over her head and swung down... She jolted up from her bed with tears streaming down her face.
"I... It was a dream?"
But was it really?
