I dive, and turn intangible, but it catches me by the edge before I'm in a black void. I'm human, I know this dream well.
The school appears and I'm dropped between my two friends, Sam and Tucker. We're chatting about something, I can't ever understand what, when my sense goes off and I look around. No one's watching so I transform. It's Vlad, he's too powerful this time, I can't beat him. He throws the bodies of Mom, Jazz ,and Dad to the ground. He snapped their necks from the looks of it. I yell at Tucker and Sam to run, get away. They refuse.
"We won't leave you!" they yell back.
Vlad laughs manically as he grows larger and thunder clouds form, raining blood, my family's blood. We fight, Tucker takes a blow and gets hurled into a brick wall, hitting his head shattering the skull. I howl with rage, I become stronger. But Sam gets blasted when I ducked beneath a beam. She falls back, dead.
I lose it, and pound on him until his blood covers me. I stagger over to her, she's cold now. I weep over her and the others, Amity Park is in ruins. I failed them. I, who swore to protect them, failed. There's a piece of glass, with razor thin edges, near by. I vaguely recognize it as a piece of a beaker; it doesn't matter, it'll suit my purposes. I grip it as I transform into the real me. It cuts me, good I'm not invincible, and my blood smears it's clear face. I look at it numbly before raising the opposite wrist. I slice at myself, angered when my weapon of choice flies through its target. I snarl viciously, and try again. When it doesn't cut where I want it to I switch hands and try my own neck, that fails as well. I become desperate for the comforting embrace of a full death and try stabbing out my own heart. It disappears.
"NOOOOO!!" I shout, somehow waking up. I see Sam, asleep but still alive. My ghost half must've kept me from going physically to the nightmare dimension like Tucker and Lancer. I don't know about her though. I don't care as I tackle the Fright Night and put his sword into the pumpkin. Suddenly the ecto-storm starts pulling things into the ghost zone, and I throw myself over her unconscious form before reaching through the floor to find a pipe to hold onto. It's over with soon and I sit back, starting to try to wake her up.
"Sam, Sam," I call anxiously. Her eyes open and there's a brief second before she throws herself on me, patting up and down my back and gut.
"You're okay!" I hear her mumble against my neck, before I feel something wet. Whoa! Is Sam crying?! What the hell was her nightmare about?! I fall; she's heavy and I'm tired.
"You okay Sam?" I ask quietly into her ear, noticing how she shivers. I must be freezing to her, I'm still Phantom.
"Yeah," she answers, though her voice wavers slightly, "just don't ever leave me."
The hairs on the back of my neck stands on end, I start to soothe her locks. That must've been one hell of a dream, "I'd never dream of it."
People are starting to come so I fade us out of there, still holding her. I give into the urge to kiss her on the way home. I hope she understands that this, right here and now, is a dream come true.
