Bad Dream

BAD DREAM

One night, Xylia was reading a novel while lying on her bed. Her parents weren’t home because they were meeting some friends, so she had to babysit her little sister, Chandra. In the living room, down stairs Chandra  was watching TV when suddenly, she saw a dark figure outside the window. She was terrified and ran to her sister’s room. Xylia saw her sister trembling, and she was really confused so she asked her what happened. Chandra told her what she saw downstairs – a dark figure outside the window staring at her while she was watching TV. Xylia was so shocked she grabbed her phone and baseball bat and rushed downstairs ready to attack that thing if it was trying to break into the house. But when she looked out the window, there was nothing. There was no one outside the window. She told her sister but her little sister was still scared and decided to stay in Xylia’s room.

Xylia was still trying to calm her sister when suddenly there was a blackout! She quickly grabbed the flashlight that her mother gave her and she switched it on. She was hugging her little sister when

suddenly, she noticed a figure beside her desk. It was the figure of a man standing there. She quickly

grabbed her sister’s arm and ran as fast as she could downstairs until she fell down. She and her sister got

1.Her sister was crying. Xylia was very tired and annoyed by all of this so she tried to call her mother

and father, but they didn’t answer her. Her little sister was crying out loud and she didn’t know what

to do. And then she heard the stairs creaking… like someone was walking on them. Xylia looked back, she

couldn’t see anything, it was pitch black, so she directed her flash light to the stairs…..Xylia stood there, horrified by what she saw.. a man….standing on blood. It spread across the floor and created a big, dark puddle of  blood.

The man stood there… smiling at them… like a statue. The man suddenly moved towards Xylia. She

panicked and threw the flashlight at him, and then.. he was gone. She grabbed her flashlight from the

floor, then grabbed her sister and ran back to her room. Xylia and Chandra sat on the bed. An hour

later they heard deafening laughter. After about 5 seconds it stopped. Xylia asked her little sister if she

was okay but….. she didn’t answer. Suddenly, she heard Chandra laughing. She was confused and when

she looked at her face, she was so scared she couldn’t move. Chandra was laughing while crying blood

until her eyes fell down to the floor. Xylia couldn’t say a word. Her sister’s face was so messed up. Her sister’s laughter was so loud. She couldn’t think about anything! She took a few steps backwards and turned around to look outside the window. She saw lots of figures outside. Some were crying, some

smiling, others screaming, laughing, hanging from the trees, lying on the ground, and making unintelligible sounds. When Xylia turned back to look at her sister, her ears were filled with LoUD, PIERCING, Ear-SpLItTing  NOISES!

Her ears started to bleed and the figures started to move towards her. The figures outside started

entering her room through her window. Xylia was shaking and crying while blood poured from her ears.

She tried to get away… but she failed… the dark figures pulled her to them and then….

She woke up.

Everything was normal again.

It was all just a dream.

A  bad, BAD DREAM. . .
