Hex-Oh!
Chapter 2 - Nightmares

Serenity opened her eyes to find that she was standing in a very dark room. But as took a few steps forward, a strong light barrier shot up in front of her and blocked her from moving. Suddenly, there was a light appearing from below her. Serenity looked down at her feet to see she was standing in some kind of hexagram glowing bright yellow/orange.

"What's happening?" she whispered to herself. Suddenly, she heard a scream and immediately looked up to see images flashing right in front of her, along with mysterious voices.

"What are so afraid of?" a man whispered.

"Cassie…" a young girl with black hair said in fear.

"You cannot win!" the man said again.

"…He will rinse the Nephilim." another camevoice.

Suddenly, among those images and voices, a large scary looking creature with huge dark eyes, scaly skin and sharp teeth jumped out at Serenity, Serenity screamed and tried to step back but she tripped over. But suddenly, the Hexagram's light barrier came back up and blocked the creature immediately before it could reach Serenity.

Serenity took a few deep breaths before she tried to get back up again. But before she could, she heard another scream and she looked behind her.

"No!" the black haired girl yelled as she and the other man was standing over a blond haired girls body. Serenity also noticed that there was someone else standing in the shadows holding a dagger with blood on it. Suddenly the blond haired girl's body started to disappear into dust, just as the man looked up and started walking over to Serenity, who was watching in fear.

He then stepped into the light as Serenity looked at him in confusion, like she'd seen him before.

"What are so afraid of?" he said.

Suddenly, Serenity woke up from her bed, gasping for air.

"There's that dream again…" she whispered to herself as she got out of her bed and headed out of her room and down the stairs. "More like a nightmare."

As Serenity got to the kitchen, she saw her big brother, Joey, in there making himself a midnight snack. As she entered, he immediately saw her.

"Serenity? What are you doing up at this time of night?" he asked his young sister.

"I could ask you the same thing," she replied.

"I got hungry, how about you?"

"Couldn't sleep," she said as she went over to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of water.

"Those 'dreams' again?"

"Yeah…I don't know, they just keep coming to me," Serenity replied as she sat up against the window. But suddenly, she noticed someone standing out there under the street lamp.

"What are they about?" Joey asked.

"Huh?" Serenity replied as she drew her attention away from the window and back to her brother.

"Your dreams, what are they about?"

"Oh…I can't really explain them…" she said as she looked out of the window again, but this figure that was standing has already gone. "I'll see you in the morning."

"Night," Joey called out, but Serenity had already gone out of the kitchen and back up to her room.

Serenity entered her room, but suddenly noticed someone lying on her bed. It was a girl, around about 17 years old. She had short black hair with a straight fringe and she wore a black dress with a red rose tied around her neck.

"Oh finally, there you are, I've been waiting ages," the girl said as she got off Serenity's bed, walked up to her and took the water bottle out of Serenity's hand. "Oh, it that for me? Thanks! You have no idea how much travelling takes it out of you!"

"Wh…who are you?" Serenity questioned in confusion.
