Child of Darkness part one

Loud footsteps of two people running. More people following. Dark shadows dancing on the walls. Gasps of breathes, ragged and scared. Evil, inhuman laughter echoed everywhere. A voice "Go, go on! I'll stop them!" A terrible sound...The sound of fabric ripping and then a terrible snarl. Horrible crunching...A pair of footsteps running loudly. A swoosh of something take flight. Hissing, like the hissing of a snake. Loud screaming. Flashes of white pale cheeks, pointy teeth and red eyes. The screaming grew louder. A snarl and a baby crying...And then...DARKNESS...
I shot up from my bed gasping for breath. I panted and smoothed my hair back from my face. I took deep breathes to calm my racing heart. I threw the covers off of me and turned on the lights. I walked to my dresser to look at my reflection. I touched my eyebrow piercing. I had still had eyeliner on from the day before. My hair was frizzy and sticking up in places. I tired to fix my hair as best as I could but it didn't want to cooperate so I left it alone. I knew I wasn't going back to sleep so I tried to remember what the dream had been about. The only thing that I could remember was flashes of people running and a baby crying. I sighed. I've been having that dream for awhile now...And I had no idea where it came from. I took out the book I had been reading before I went to sleep. I opened it and started reading. Before long I felt my eyes droop and close...

Flashes here and there. Creatures on fire and howling excruciatingly. The teeth and the red eyes...The red eyes over and over again...A snarl and then the baby crying...

I woke up for the second time and groaned. Why did I keep having this dream? Is there some meaning behind it? Is there a purpose?
