Chapter 2: Nightmares
The flashing outside stopped, the thunder dulled everything was silent. Angel clung to her plush bunny never suspecting he could have come to life and let the Nightmares in. He continued to stay still acting as this girl's companion in the darkness.
When he was secretly luring the Nightmares to her whereabouts.
Down stairs a lamp was tipped over alerting Angel to their presence.
She grabbed her flashlight from the bedside table. Armed with that in one hand and a plush bunny in the other Angel slowly crept over to the doorway.
Opening the door Angel listened for any further sounds, there were none. Only the uneasy darkness greeted her. Switching the flashlight on she shone it down the hallway, nothing was there.
Angel felt the urge to proceed further leaving what she would soon consider the safely of her bedroom to step out in to the hallway.
Moving cautiously towards the railing Angel shone the light down stairs. Again there was nothing to be seen.
Taking a deep breath and hugging her toy bunny closer she started down the stairs one slow step at a time.
The plush in her arms grinned knowing his owner was walking right into the clutches of some menacing creatures. This was going to be good.
Over by the window moonlight entered illuminating unusual features of a dark silhouette.
There was a hand reaching out with very long metallic claws, they were spiraled like drill bits. He had several rows of sharp pointy teeth that could bite through someone in an instant. And his eyes glowed a kind of blue light.
Though in the dark it was impossible to see this was a Nightmare waiting to claim his prey.
But in the light he'd be even more terrifying, they all would be.
Angel didn't recognize the figure standing close to the window. Nightmare Bonnie was perfectly still. She walked closer to get a better look, perhaps he was just objects that were there in the daytime looking unfamiliar at night. No reason to be scared.
She made the mistake of reaching a hand out towards him.
In that instant Nightmare Bonnie snapped at the girl's hand quickly with a snarl.
Angel withdrew her hand clutching her bunny and flashlight to her chest as he took a step closer.
"Get away!" She motioned with her hand. Which Nightmare Bonnie growled and snapped at her again with his razor sharp teeth.
Angel squeaked frightened shutting her eyes. But as she stepped back she bumped into something that wasn't part of the room.
Angel pointed the flashlight towards whatever was behind her for another startling discovery.
There stood Nightmare Freddy. He stared back at the girl with his black eyes and smiled with those same sharp teeth. Instead of attacking Nightmare Freddy tipped his hat with visible metal pointy fingers. The worst part were the three mini Nightmare bears that came out of hiding all of them snapping and chattering at Angel with smaller versions of dangerous teeth.
With one low growl from Nightmare Freddy the little Nightmares started towards Angel.
With a shriek Angel turned to run though Nightmare Bonnie was still behind her.
A little Nightmare Freddy grabbed onto her pajama shorts causing Angel to shove Nightmare Bonnie's nose distracting him long enough to get out of the middle of this nightmare.
While making a dash for the stairs Angel tried to fend the mini Freddy off with her flashlight, the others were close by.
Finally stumbling up the stairs she shone the light at them. The one who had latched on ripped a piece from Angel's pajama shorts. The other two shrieked at her pursuing until Angel made it back to her room and slammed the door.
The sounds of snapping metal teeth and claws on the door persisted.
"This is all a bad dream." Angel told herself. "Just a bad dream." She continued with her hands pressed against the door to keep it shut.
The plush bunny fell to the floor as Angel concentrated on this task.
Tonight was interesting…
