Chapter 2

~DREAM~

She looked around. "Dang it! I fell asleep again! Maybe Tommy is here."

She looked around, but did not see anyone. It was then that she realized she was in her own house! She began to walk around, and when she got to the bottom of the stairs she heard a loud screech.

"Who's there?!" She shouted.

Then the children started up with that rhyme!

A girl was in the kitchen, once Rianna got that far.

"Where am I?" The girl was asking herself.

"My house." replied Ria.

"Who are you? What do you want?" The girl asked, sounding more than scared.

"I'm Rianna, and I should be asking you. Like I said, my house. Who are you?"

"Tarina."

"Hey." Came a familiar male voice.

"Tommy!" Ria turned around and gave him a hug. She never thought she'd be so happy to see someone.

"You fell asleep too?" He asked.

Ria nodded. "I'm guessing Tarina did too.

"Hmm. Hufflepuff."

"How'd you know that?" Tari asked.

"I just know."

"Try to be nice, Tommy. She's stuck in here, same as us." Ria sighed.

"I'll try." He sighed as well.

"Nice, touchy feely moment and all, but it's makin me sick." Came a new male voice.

"Hey... Be nice while in my house!"

"I'll be how I want, it's my dream!"

"Our dream." Tommy corrected. "All four of us are in this dream together.. And I don't think we're the only ones, either."

"Ok.. So there is a Gryffendor, a Ravenclaw, a Hufflepuff, and quite obviously a Slytherin. This is impossible." Rianna said, pointing to each one in turn.

A new voice came now. "Make that two Gryffendors." She said. "And who's who?"

"Rianna."

"Tommy."

"Tarina."

"Malcolm."

"Nice to meet you all, I'm Carrie."

The screeching sound started again. All five winced.

"And heeeeeere's Freddy!" Came an awful voice. A man in a red and green sweater, a dirty brown hat, and a makeshift claw on his right hand was standing before them.

All five stepped back.

Ria was the first to say anything. "Umm... I think its time to wake up now.."

"But how?" Tarina whined.

Ria thought for a moment. Then Tommy said, "hurt yourself. That's how I got out last time."

He opened a drawer and took out a knife. Then he sliced into Rianna's arm, right by her other wound. He winced as she screamed out, then disappeared..

"Like that." Then he cut into himself, and disappeared as well.

Malcolm was the first to follow suit. Then Carrie got Tari out, then herself, tough she also got hit on the back by Freddy.

~END OF DREAM~

"OW!" Yelled Ria, as she sat up. "Dang it, that hurt..." Then she looked at her arm, and gasped, for she saw the new wound, right above her last one. "So I did get it in the dream..."

She shook her head. "Who was that? Freddy..."

Suddenly her brother walked in. "Your up?"

"Yeah.. Guess I had another bad dream, that's all."

"Your arm.. You got it cut again.."

She looked at her arm, "Guess so... Maybe there's something in my bed... This one isn't as deep as the other, though."

"Well, Mums upset. Her best knife is missing. And we're leaving in an hour."

"Okay, I'll be down in ten.."

"Ok." And he left the room.

"Her knife is missing.." She closed her eyes. "That's the one Tommy used on me.." She got out of her bed, and began to dress.

Then she went downstairs, bringing her trunk with her. "I'm ready!" She shouted..

Meanwhile....

Tommy sat up in his bed, knife in hand. He looked at it. "So we can pull things.." He thought aloud.

"Tomas! It's time to go! You're lucky to go to this school! NOW GET UP!" Shout his mom.

He sighed. "Can't wait to get to school."

He stood and looked at his arm. He quickly bandaged the wound he'd acquired in the dream. "Wonder if the others got out.."

Malcolm sat up next. He winced as he felt a pain in his arm. "What the? I thought that was just a dream!"

Then his dad. "GET UP!"

So he did, and he left his room, already dressed.

Tarina screamed as she woke up. Her mom ran in. "What's that matter, dear?"

"My arm! It hurts!"

"What happened?"

"I got cut by some Gryffendor girl in my dream, and woke up with a real life wound!"

Her mom just laughed. "You must have cut it last night, and just installed it into your dream." She reasoned.

"But, Mum!"

"Enough of that. It's almost time to go. Are you ready?"

"Almost." She replied, defeated.

"Alright.. Hurry."

Carrie on the other hand, never got the privilege to wake up...
