Behind the Gate

Chapter 1

As I got home, I asked my mom if I can go with Tia to the party.

"Oh right, her mom called me about it. You can go," she replied calmly.

"Yes," I said quietly, "ok, thanks mom.

So I ran to my room and started on my homework because I'm a responsible student. Once I finished around 6, I stumbled downstairs to this spare room that was in the house. Since no one wanted it, I took it so I can paint in a separate room than my bedroom. My room would get messy in a minute one I start painting or anything art related.

It took me around three hours to perfect my masterpiece, but it looked awesome. I went through my night time routine and jumped right into bed. I was pretty tired, so I fell asleep quicker than usual.

I was at the party and it looked like I was actually having fun for once. I was drinking my hot chocolate and talking to Tia, until out of nowhere, this loud bang came from down stairs and a screeching sound right after it. We all looked at each other with the "What was that?" look. Five minutes later, this long, towering creature with lanky fingers that are each the size of my whole arm. I knew where I've seen this creature before, during the sleepover. Flashback: so I decided to have a sleepover with my friends Kimaya, Grace, and Celina. I got dared to call my boyfriend, Noah, and after he came over, we found a ouija board. So we decided to play it...Grace lifted her hands... Noah and Grace died... it's very confusing. Back to what I was saying, the black figure appeared and looked me dead in the eyes. At this point I knew that the creature wanted me, not my friends. It stretched out its quick, black, lengthy arms to grab me but I couldn't move to run away. Right when it grabbed my face, I woke up.

"Geez, what was that about?" I asked myself.

I got up and for the rest of the day, all I thought about was that dream. It was weirder than the other ones that I had, and more realistic. But my mind wiped it halfway out once I realized it was snowing. Usually when I see a blue sky or it starts to snow, I get in a happier mood. So I texted Tia about the dream and through the text I could tell that she was shook.

"But why"

                                                                                                                                                                 "I don't know"

                                                                                    "But I'm kind of nervous now because it felt so real"

"I can imagine"

"So you still going"

                                                                                                     "Yea, I have no choice, I already registered"

"Don't worry nothing's going to happen"

                                                                                                                                                                "If you say so"
