It was all white this time, the place I was in. It was blinding. The vast emptiness went on forever. Then, the white faded a little, and then more, and finally it dispersed, revealing a forest. It was made of luscious greens of all shades. The birds were singing in the trees and it was beautiful. Suddenly, a figure from afar appeared and all the birds scattered and the forest became quiet. The person was very fuzzy. I walked towards them slowly, watching, contemplating. As I came closer, the figure showed to have no face. It was in the shape of a person except it was still fuzzy and the only color it was was black. I walked a few more steps toward it, but then it changed, it had a face. It also had a normal body. It was Damon, he was the figure. " Damon!" I try to shout but the noise doesn't come out. I begin to run towards him but he begins to change again. Now it is the monster from my dream. It's golden slitted eyes, boring into me. I backed up and tripped over something, falling backwards. I sat up, but the creature was now hovering over me and it had transformed again. It was now Calix, and he was pointing and laughing at me. I watched him stare into me as the face transformed into Damon, then Calix, then Ashley and everyone one else I knew. Then there were a million of them, surrounding me in a huge circle and they all laughed at me. Their laughs started to become more evil and the faces returned to just one.... I woke up, panting and frightened. I felt around for my blanket on my bed, but I couldn't find it. I sat up and screamed. I realized I was in the forest, all alone, and not in my nice, warm, safe bed.
I must have been sleep walking and came all the way into the woods. That sounds like a great way to get lost. I get up and start walking aimlessly. Luckily I found a path so I started to follow it. It was a long walk but I came out of the forest into a park not too far from home. It was really dark out now. I walked through the park and then by some shops, while the street lights flickered. It is very eerie and its hard to see with the lights going on and off. I hear a noise coming from an alley not to far from me. Nobody is around so I cross the street and go investigate. Someone is way down at the end of the alley, moving around, making weird noises. I step forward and accidentally kick a bottle. It makes a loud noise and the person stops what they were doing. " Hello, are you okay?" I ask, talking to whoever it was, they sounded in a lot of pain. They don't answer me but they turn around. Except, it wasn't a person, it was the monster from my dreams. This time, it didn't have golden eyes though, it had demonic, blood red eyes and it began to growl at me. I scream but it comes out strangled, and I run as fast as I possibly can to get away. I hear the demon behind me, its growling and hissing, and I know it's catching up. I push myself to my limit, but I'm still not quick enough. If I don't go faster, who knows how it will kill me if it gets me. But I must have hit something or it caught me, I dont remember, because I was on the ground in moments with a searing pain going up through my whole body. I cry out, the pain unbearable. Then I feel something touch me. I start to scream, kick and punch but I couldn't move my right arm or much of my body because it hurt so much. " Shhhh, it's okay, it's just me," a familiar voice says. He moves over to were I can see him fully. " Are you hurt Rose? What happened?" Damon asked, his face shadowed by the street lights, but he was clearly freaking out. " I'm fine, I just.. ah!" I yell as I move a little, more pain, and I begin to feel a very numbing sensation. " I'm calling for an ambulance," he says, whipping out his phone while holding my hand. The last thing I remember is Damon telling me it will be alright and then I passed out.
Ugh, it smells terrible. Where am I? My eyes flash open and I see a ton of white. I look around and see that I'm in a hospital bed and gown. I also have a huge lump of plaster on my arm and I can't sit up or it hurts. " Hello, anyone there?" I call, my voice very dry and raspy. I get no reply, but it looks like someone was here, there is a bag over on a chair. I notice a cup of water next to the bed and I reach for it so I can have a drink. Once I'm done, I look more carefully at my bandages. I must have messed my arm up really badly and I see that I have a big wrap around my chest and stomach. As I start to examine my bandages more, the door opens and in walks my mom and dad. " Oh my gosh, she's awake!" she says and rushes over to me, hugging and kissing me. " Are you okay? I thought you were a goner!"she says, being my very melodramatic mother. " I don't know, what happened?" I ask, trying to remember what went wrong. " You don't remember? The hospital called us and told us you had been in an accident. Some boy called 911 when he found you. We were told you had hit your head and hurt your arm badly. You also bruised some ribs," my dad explained. " How long have I been out?" I ask, still confused. " 3 days, but you should be able to come home tomorrow they said." " Where's Damon?" " Who sweety?" my mom asks. " The boy that called 911?" " Oh, he left once he knew you were in good hands." " How about Ashley?" " She came yesturday, she brang you some stuff," she says, pointing at the corner of the room. There was a balloon and teddy bear from Ashley. The was also a bouquet of colorful flowers with Ashley's stuff, but sitting on the side table next to the bed was just one, delicate, simple, white rose. I pick it up and see a tag that has the letter D on it in a fancy, cursive writing. " Where's my phone?" My mom opens up her purse and hands me my phone. I want to text Ashley to say thank you. I'm surprised when I only have one missed text, and it's not someone already programmed into my phone. The text reads," I hope you're alright, sorry I didn't stick around long enough to see you wake up. Text me when your feeling better and maybe we can talk "~ D. Aw, that's sweet. I wish I could ask him what happened. Come to think of it, now I remember that I woke up in the woods and wandered out to the streets. And I remember those piercing crimson, hungry eyes, staring at me. I shudder, too scared to think about it again. There is a knock at the door and then a nurse comes in. " Oh I see that your awake," she says, walking over to me with a clip board in hand. " When do I get to leave nurse?" " Soon, but first, you'll have to rest some more," she says while pressing a button. " But I don't want to, I have to ge-et ho...." I say incoherently as she knocks me out with medicine.
