The Nightmare –Part Two
The girl woke up, gasping for breath. Her hand clutched at her left shoulder. A sharp stinging sensation stung her and she automatically pulled her hand away. Suddenly, there was a great blow, then—
CRASH!
There was a great flutter of wings and a high screech. The girl, hand still in the air, jerked her head towards her bedroom window. The window had shattered. Shards of glass were scattered on the floor. What was left of the glass, looked sharp enough to cut anything. The girl could hear footsteps outside her room. The door flung open to reveal an Asian girl in her nightie. " I thought I heard something, are you…"the Asian girl trailed off when she caught sight off the window. She looked at her friend who was pointing at it. The Asian walked to the bed, " did you do that?" she asked her friend. The girl didn't answer. "Are you …" she noticed her friend's shoulder, " oh my gosh! What happened to your shoulder, Flick?" the girl still didn't answer. " C'mon, I 'll take you downstairs," said the Asian. She took her friends hand and led her out into the corridor. The Asian turned on a light and looked at her friend. The girl was still in shock. Once again, the Asian gasped. The girl's nightie was torn and scratches were all over her body. Together, the teens descended the stairs and walked into the kitchen. The girl sat down on one of the high stools at the table and hugged her body. A moment later, the Asian girl placed two hot cups of tea on the table and a bag of frozen peas. The girl picked up the bag and rested it on her shoulder. She felt a cooling sensation, which relived her. She sighed. "It happened again," she said, still dazed, "only this time it was much more powerful, more real."
"Your dream?" asked the Asian girl, holding her cup of tea.
"Yeah," said the girl, she took a sip of tea from her cup, "Y'know how it goes Ray-Ray?"
"A forest, a shrine to a mythical creature, fire, I know how it goes Flick, every night you've had the same dream…"
"Every night it's gotten stronger…"
"That would clearly explain the state you're in and your burnt shoulder," finished the Asian.
The Girl smiled at her friend. " You never cease to amaze me Ray-Ray."
A moment later, two girls walked in, a dark brunette and a light brunette with blonde streaks. The dark brunette wore a vest and shorts and the blonde-brunette wore a big t-shirt, which was slipping off one shoulder.
" I thought we heard a noise," mumbled the dark brunette, " what are you guys doing up?" The blonde-brunette yawned and jumped onto the table.
" Flick had that dream again," explained the Asian.
"Oh," said the girls in unison. The dark brunette opened the fridge and poured cold water into a glass from a cupboard. As soon as she closed the fridge, a blonde boy stepped into the kitchen, rubbing his eyes. "There's gotta some burglar in the house because some one's room's been trashed, there's glass on the floor!" From the tone in his voice, he was clearly annoyed. " Whoa. What happened to you?" he looked at the girl's torn state. The black girl explained her dream again in full detail and admitted she shattered the window. Her friends took in all this information in silence. The boy spoke up, " so what does it mean?"
The girls all shook their heads, rolled their eyes, muttered, " twit," "he doesn't get it does he?" and so on.
" It means my prediction is coming true, the first sign will come tomorrow," said the girl, " I want you up early in the morning guys. We're going to have a visitor."
