My lungs were bursting... couldn't ... breathe...
My mind couldn't tell where up and down was but I knew someone was there. Someone who I knew I've met before...
The water was so cold...and dark...except for... the eyes. I opened my mouth for a scream, trying to wake myself up. My body had frozen, I couldn't move...
My heart was pounding so hard, I feared it would breaks my ribs...
A scream woke me up. Covered in sweat I sat up in my bed, surrounded by blinding darkness. I listened to the scream. Who was that? I couldn't get my body to stop shivering. It toke me a few minutes until I realized it was me who screamed. Still in shock, I slowly remembered where I was. My room. In my bed.
In the dark, my shaky hands tried to untangle my blanket that had rapped itself around my legs during my nightmare. I lied back down and pulled up the blanket until it reached my chin, thinking it would protect me from the dream like a shield.
That dream. I have dreamed that dream ever since I can remember. I sighed in exhaustion and turned my head towards the window. Dim moon light shone through my little window, making creepy shadows on the opposite wall. This was the time when the dream was the worst. Every time when the full moon approached, the dream became more real, more frightening. You couldn't imagine how sick I was of waking up in the middle of the night, screaming like a baby, unable to fall asleep again. Believe me, I've tried everything.
But those eyes. Dark yellow with green veins. I knew I've seen these eyes before but I just couldn't figure out who they belonged to.
