You know that feeling when you take nighttime cold medicine and you wake up to go to the bathroom? Everything is all blurry and you're not quite sure if you are dreaming or not. Well, when I opened my eyes, that's exactly how I felt. I wasn't even surprised that I wasn't in the train anymore. My eyelids felt heavy and I just wanted to lay there forever. That all changed when a green lightning bolt flashed above my head and made me dart straight up. Where the hell was I? Dark mountains of rocks and dirt surrounded me. I went to stand up, but my body moved slowly and felt so heavy. Like the ground was a magnet. I fell back, my motions a blur, my butt hitting the gravel. I would have stayed there for a while if there hadn't been a noise.
It was a high pitched squeaking. It would have sounded cute too, but it surrounded me, as if it wasn't coming from the same place. A feeling gnawed at my stomach and it told me to run, even thought i thought it impossible, I obeyed. Then, as if on cue, the shadows followed, chasing me. I dared not to look back. Just then, a bright light in front of me flashed. If things would have been different, I would have obviously stopped, but I knew what was behind me. Ok, I didn't exactly, but I knew that whatever those shadows were, it was bad. "Hurry!" a voiced cried out to me. My eyes focused on the light and I made out a woman's shape.
That's another thing I noticed. I was running, full pace, but my breathing wasn't fast. Usually, if I run thirty seconds, I become out of breath. But I didn't even feel the drag of my muscles. All I could feel was numbness and my head being heavy. It was hard to explain feeling like a feather, yet, feeling like a paper weight. I think the best way to describe it was that I felt like a marble, being rolled fast on a smooth surface. So I wasn't gasping for air or anything.
"Take my hand! You can't stay here!" the voice shouted at me again, she sounded motherly and ancient.
The sound of squeaking getting closer made me turn my head. Aha, that was a big mistake. HUGE spiders were chasing after me. This definitely made me hasten my pace and I reached out for the bright figure. I was terrified. My fingers brushed hers.
