The Nightmare


The shadow slowly advanced on him. The figure moved with the grace of an experienced fighter. In the shadowy hand was a long golden dagger. He couldn't move. It raise the hand with the dagger and started to bring it down. Inches from him, Alex O'Connell sat up from bed with a frightaning cry.

"Alex? Alex, are you okay? What's wrong?" His father, Rick O'Connell, ran into his son's bedroom with his wife at his heels. Evelyn ran into the boy's room and comfortedly hugged him.

"Now, dear, what's wrong? What scared you so?" His mother crooned. Alex gently laid his head on his mother chest for reassurance. His father came over and teasingly mussed his hair.

"It was a nightmare. Just a nightmare." Then he buried his haed in Evy's nightgown.

"We know better than to just ignore a dream, don't we, sport?" his father pointed out. "What was it about. No mummies, right...?"

Alex slowly lifted his head from his mother's chest. "I don't know. I was in a sorta dimly lit room. I looked around and I see this shadowy person coming toward me with a long golden dagger in its hand. I tried to move, but I couldn't. Then he stops right in front of me and tries to kill me."

"What do you mean 'tries?'" asked Rick, looking at his only child strangely.

"I mean it gets right in front of me starts to bring the dagger down then I wake up," Alex explains.

"Do you know were the room was?" Evy quired.

Her little boy slowly shook his head. "No, all I know is that li looked very old and It was sorta' hot... I think."

"The dagger may be a clue." Evy said, then looking at Alex, asked. "Alex, do you remember any strange markings on it?"

He started to open his mouth to answer, but he was interupted by a loud pounding from downstairs.

"Rick..."

"I'll get it." He went down the stairs. Silence. Then, "Evy!" Rick yelled up the stairs. "You'd better come down here quick!"

Both Evy and Alex rushed down the stairs, and skidded to a halt as they saw their visitor on the couch, waiting patiently for them. It was a man in black robes...
