Chapter 3: Nightmare and A Little Girl

Fog. That was all I could see. Just endless fog, so thick I could barely see two feet ahead of me. I strained my eyes, looking for anything in the dense fog but it was to no avail. I couldn't make out a single object.

Sighing I took a step forward beginning to walk into the unknown. I walked and walked. I'm not sure how long I walked for. It could have been minutes or it could have been hours but which ever it was it felt like eternity.

Slowly the fog started to dissipate and I found myself standing in front of an old house. I looked at it shocked but what surprised me most was that it wasn't just any old house, it was our house. The house the guys and I bought. The one we were currently living in. The only difference was that it was older and more worn.

The wood was rotted with boards sticking out randomly around the house. The windows were dusty, cracked, and broken. Some of the shingles hung off the roof others laid scattered on the ground around it.

I went over to the stairs, walking up them cautiously. They creaked under my weight but didn't show any signs of breaking. Once on the porch I walked up to the front door. It's hinges were rusty and the door knob looked as if it were about to fall off. I reached out and grabbed it anyways, turning it slowly. The hinges screeched as I pushed the door open.

Looking inside I noticed that the inside was just as bad as the outside, if not worse. Floor boards were rotted and pulled up. There was mold on the walls and wallpaper hung down loosely. There was dust everywhere and it smelled pungently of mildew. I covered my mouth and nose in an attempt to shield myself from the smell.

"What the hell is with this place?" I asked not expecting an answer. I walked into the house being wary of the rotted boards. It was so familiar yet so foreign at the same time. I wandered through the rooms looking for any clue as to why I was there.

First was mine, there was nothing out of the ordinary as far as I could tell, then I went to the other guys's rooms. Still nothing caught my eye until I got to Francis's room.

In Francis's room I found flowers, everywhere. Not just any flowers too, they were roses. They were all over the bed, dresser, and floor. I stared at it confused.

'Why would there be roses in here and nothing in the other rooms?' I thought, then remembered how Francis was upset this morning. 'That's right, Francis's roses wilted. He said someone had mixed weed killer into his watering can but why would I see his roses here?' I scratched the back of my head trying to figure the situation out but it was to no avail.

I sighed stepping out into the hall and leaving Francis's room. "Guess I should check out the rest of the place." I said aloud and walked down the hall. I searched almost every room in the house and found nothing else strange. The only room I hadn't looked in now was the living room.

I shrugged and made my way to the living room. Once there I noticed two things. One, the temperature just dropped ten degrees and two, the vase that had broken was sitting on the end table perfectly untouched. I starred at it confused. It had no dust, no cracks, or any signs of age.

'First the flowers and now the vase. What is going on here?' I thought.

"Hehehe~" the same exact laugh from earlier rang throughout the room. I stiffened the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end. I scanned the room mentally preparing myself for anything that might come.

"Hehehe~" it sounded again. I turned and ran for the door. I really didn't want to see that girl again and the only thing I could think to do was run.

I ran back outside and into the fog. I let it surround me as I ran aimlessly. After a minuet I slowed down and came to a stop. My breath was short and raspy from running and I tried to calm myself. 'I should be safe. There's no way she could find me in all this fog.' I thought turning to scan the area.

As soon as I turned she was there, right in my face. "Hehehe~" she giggled, her skin tore apart as her smile grew. She reached out for me and I screamed.

Everything disappeared as I jolted awake. I sat up in my bed panting. "What a nightmare." I thought aloud.

I scanned my room just to make sure she wasn't here. I even pinched myself to make sure I wasn't still dreaming. I sighed. 'Something's definitely wrong with this house.'
