The following of Sarah's nightmares are actually nightmares I've had. I would advise anyone with a nervous disposition to give this chapter a skip. I'll leave a summery at the beginning of the next one so anyone who skipped this can catch up. It involves bugs, drowning and being shot at just so you know what you're dealing with.

Chapter 2: Nightmares come true

Sarah wasn't falling for long when she fell onto an earthy floor. So much for lightning never striking in the same place. If she didn't know any better she would have thought the lightning had been out to get her. She banished the thought with a shake of her head. She was just the tallest thing on the hill. That was all. Now where was she?

'You made me face my nightmare. Now you face yours.'

The darkness surrounded her. She couldn't see. Her pupils had dilated as far as they could but there was no light for them to attempt to absorb. What was wrong with her? She was never scared of the dark. But the shadows felt like they'd crept into her throat and choked off her air. She couldn't breathe. No she was being silly. There was still air. She opened her mouth to breathe deeply and it filled with water. She was drowning. Panicking she tried to figure out which was up or down so she could get out. Her lungs burned with need of oxygen. Sarah began to swim and her body hit air. She fell out sideways into empty space. Like she'd been trapped in a wall of water. Lying on the floor she tried to calm her racing heart and steady her breathing.

Sarah felt something on her leg and brushed at it absent-mindedly. It wasn't one thing. It was millions and they were slimy and they were moving! Screaming Sarah jumped to her feet. There was now enough light to see that her legs were covered in crawling maggots. Frantically she tried to brush them off without touching them. Eventually she backed off exhausted. The last maggot had vanished.

Now a patch of light appeared in a perfect circle, like a spotlight on a stage. Toby stepped into the light. He seemed older. Nevertheless she was relieved to see someone familiar.

"Oh Toby! Quickly we have to get out of here!" Toby didn't answer. "Toby?"

Toby lifted his head and looked straight at her. Sarah shuddered. His eyes were cold. "Toby?" she whispered. Toby's hand slid into his jacket and pulled something out. Something that glinted in the dim light.

Sarah stared down the barrel of the gun. "Toby?" she cried.

Something knocked her to the floor as the gun went off. The bullet whistled over her head but had missed.

"Quick missy, this way!"

"Hoggle?"

"Yes, yes but quick. We must be quick."

As Sarah watched she saw a giant Fairy loom out the dark. "What the…?"

"Quick," Hoggle screamed. He opened a hatch in the floor and dropped through. The Fairy vanished. Sarah followed him and replaced the lid after her.

Yes I used to have nightmares about my brother shooting me. I don't anymore though. It was probably my subconscious because he was always waving plastic guns around and shouting "bang". Also my nightmares are of wasps but I thought that would be too much like 'Forbidden Game' and maggots freak me out as well.
