The Nightmare War

Nathan awoke, but he was no longer at the beach. He was at his home with his family, they all sat in the living room doing nothing. Looking around he saw one person no longer there but who should be there. He got up but as he did a hatchet or axe went through the door making everyone jump. The tool repeatedly hit the door till there was a wide enough hole for someone's face to come through. Exactly what happened, a small tubby little man with a beak nose poked his head through the hole.

His face formed a demented grin like he enjoyed in the torment of this family. Suddenly, he disappeared from the hole and the front door. Nathan went to the door to see if he was gone but he busted through the wall with his axe again. Causing everyone to get out and runaway from the house. Nathan ran into the garage and soon the garaged became a portal but without the watery effects. He slipped into another world.

It was his new school, he was inside a hall at his locker pulling out some camera equipment. Guerrmo came up to him and started to talk to him but no volume. Not too long after Nathan got out his camera did Aelita run up to them and frantically tell them to go outside the nearest doors, still muted. The boys ran out and immediately saw a large race car zipping in the street parallel to the school.

The blazing red and yellow race car crashed into a parked sedan and bursted into flames. The two ran to the crash and also saw tons of other reporters running to the scene first and flashing their cameras. When Nathan got to the cars window he aimed his camera and zoomed. He saw the flames eat away at the dying driver, who smiled as his flesh started to flak off in burnt pieces. Like the man was proud of the way he was gradually dying.

A white light engulfed the scene and soon Nathan found himself on a tropical Island, but this time it was different. He was with a team of soldiers or military personnel. He looked at his outfit and he too matched them, like a member of their squad. They ended up going in a Delta Force FAV to a small facility covered by the tropical vegetation. He and the squad disembarked and went inside carefully, but as they did Nathan looked around at the unbelievable sight. The place looked like paradise with all the colors of flowers and the green landscape. Sun and all could be felt like he was really there, even the sea he could smell.

The squad entered the building through several bulkhead doors and came to a room were the only way in it was a glass encased hallway that left the rest of the room bare. They walked in the hall and past a few machines which looked like for monitoring. They came across a room and went in, they saw a little girl in a long dress looking down. Nathan was about to say something when his fellows outside the room's door opened fire at something. When Nathan looked back the girl was gone but a dark hole appeared in the top corner of the room, hideously deformed monsters started crawling out of it like a spider on a wall.

His squad evacuated the area still firing at the wave of flesh and blood, getting out side the only encountered the same thing. Boarding the rover monsters engulfed them in a flood of teeth, claws, and fleshy muscles like the PC game DOOM.

Nathan awoke again and he was with what looked like the same squad inside the facility but farther this time. His eyes looked around; he was in a hazmat suit and in what looked like an underground bunker or concrete basement. A few soldiers mixed with ordinary civilians but scared shitless.

Nathan walked deeper into the hall and soon large window appeared that showed inside storage rooms. He took the first door on the left and opened the metal door. As he looked in, he saw that same girl facing him in the storage room. She laughed playfully as any child would do, then a few of the soldiers went in like they never saw the girl. But she ran away before they came close to her and disappeared. Out of no where, puppies popped out and attacked Nathan and the others with small mouths of razor teeth. Nathan could feel the teeth sink in but the suit seemed to absorb much of the bones sharp point. He and the others managed to kick them off and throw them back in, yet something compelled him to move on inside the room. He wanted to know what happened to the little girl who vaguely looked like his sister. So in a flash he went into the room all the way and shut the metal door closed and locked it.

Nathan walked through the storage room but no dogs reappeared and attacked him. So he wondered the labyrinth and came across a larger room. There he saw the little girl again at the far end of the hanger sized room. She stood facing him and then she screamed, Nathan watched helplessly as a dark translucent figure came right behind her and held her mouth shut with a knife to her throat. Nathan wanted to help, filled with anger and fury, he started to run at them. However, another surprise came up as dead people started to come at him from behind the crates and out of the solid walls. His suit protected him from the hands but the massive amounts of bodies kept him static. He watched the girl and the figure begin to disappear through a dark black and swirling blue portal that opened right behind them. No words could escape his throat as he cried out to the girl, the zombies holding him down.

The girl surprisingly managed to get out of the figures grasp and run the him. His little sister made it to the zombie pile and they parted away from her path as if she scared them. Freeing him in the process, Nathan hugged her tightly as did she. Then in a blink of an eye a translucent arm grabbed his sister by the waist and pulled her back to the portal. She kicked and screamed but was soon engulfed by the portal. The walls of the hanger came alive as black smooth monsters materialized with various colored gem eyes. Their arms sprawled around like a freshly born baby and took root in the floor for support. Nathan watched helplessly as his sister disappeared and the zombies once again held him put. The black dark beings came at him with gapping red mouths and tongues ready to devour him.
