NIGHTMARES

Heather has been having a recurring nightmare over the past few weeks, where she is in The Nightmare Realm chained down to an upright bed, that is completely covered in rust and grime. She is centered over the Halo of the Sun symbol that is painted in blood. Thousands of candles light the room but The Nightmare Realm dulls their glow making the room very shadowy. She is dressed in a white gown and her hair is long and dark. Valtiel climbs across the ceiling above her, to a door in front of her, and turns a valve to open it. The door hinges creek loudly as they slowly open, to reveal a hoofed foot, as Samael steps into the room. He stands tall as he enters with his horns nearly touching the frame of the ten foot doorway. He has the body of a very muscular man but with female breasts and the head of a goat. He has long, pointed fingernails and his midsection is rotted away exposing his spine. Below his abdomen his monstrous penis dangles between his legs.

Heather screams at the very sight of him. He is much larger than she is and as he steps closer to her he becomes even more intimidating.

"What is this? Where am I?" Heather screams.

Samael raises a finger to his snout signaling her to remain quiet. He does not speak, only his breath can be heard, long and loud. He claws at Heather's clothing, easily ripping her dress to shreds. She is now naked before him and his penis becomes erect. Heather begins to panic as she watches it grow to an impossible size. As he became fully hard he begins rubbing his penis in between her thighs.

She screams, "No! Stop it! Let me go!"

She tugs at the chains wrapped around her arms desperately but despite their rusted exterior there was no give to them at all. Valtiel crawls back into position over her and begins to turn the valve next to the bed lowering it to a horizontal position. Samael is now on top of her preparing to penetrate her vagina by rubbing the head of his penis against her entrance.

Heather screams again, "Why are you doing this? What are you?"

No answers are given and Samael plunges himself into her taking no care to the fact that she is a virgin. He spreads her legs open wide to enter her completely. In excruciating pain Heather cries out and tries to wiggle herself away from him, but Samael takes hold of her hips and keeps them firmly in place as he begins thrusting in and out of her quickly. Blood seeps from her opening, dripping onto the symbol beneath them, which then glows bright red. Samael lets out a satisfied grunt. Heather's eyes swell up with tears as she looks to the ceiling at Valtiel with a plea of "help me" upon her face. Valtiel just stares back at her blankly.

Samael then opens his mouth and Heather screams even louder at the sight of his long, black, snake like tongue heading toward her face. She turns her head and clenches her mouth shut as Samael licks up her neck and face then back down over her chest and breasts. He lets out another satisfied groan as he teases the tips of her nipples. He then quickens his thrusts into little pulses. Heather's body has fallen into shock and she can no longer feel anything below her abdomen. Samael continues to thrust until he climaxes and erupts deep inside her.

It is at this moment Heather always awakens from the dream in a panic. She checks her surroundings then calms herself when she finds herself back in her bedroom. She is hot and sweating so she gets out of bed to head into the bathroom and get cleaned up. After washing her face she stands in front of the full length mirror and lifts up her night shirt to reveal her belly. She stands to the side and then rubs her fingers over the bump that has formed under her belly button.

"It has defiantly gotten bigger," she says to herself.

She pulls open the bathroom drawer and digs to find a pregnancy test. Anxious, she opens the test and reads the instructions, then urinates on the stick, and waits for the results. The test comes out positive and she begins to panic. She pulls out another stick and redoes the test. Once again it comes out positive.

"How is this possible? I've never even had a boyfriend. I haven't gone anywhere that I could have gotten drugged or knocked out. So how?"

She hears her father, Harry exit his bedroom down the hall and head downstairs to make breakfast as he did every morning. After going over it again and again in her head she decides she has to talk to him about it. She takes a shower, gets dressed, and then heads down stairs.

At the door way she begins to talk with a tight hold in her throat, "Dad?"

"Yes sweetie?" He answers humming to himself.

"I need to talk to you about something that's... pretty important."

"Alright," he puts down the frying pan of pancakes and turns to her, "Should we sit down?" He gestures her toward the dining table.

"No, I uh…" losing her nerve to tell him about the pregnancy test she steers herself into a different conversation, "I guess... I wanted to ask you about… the day I was born."

"Oh, I see," Harry pulls out the table chair and sits himself down, "I knew you would ask about this someday. Still I guess I wasn't prepared for it."

Heather sees the worry come over his face and she can't bare to see it right now. "I'm sorry, we don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."

"No no, you have a right to know how it happened. I am just not sure if you will be able to understand."

"Come on dad, I am seventeen there is not much you can tell me that I haven't already heard. Plus you already told me my mother died at child birth so I am sure it can't be more shocking than that."

Harry lifts his head to look at her, "The thing is you didn't really have a mother. I mean you did but… oh geeze. There is so much I don't even understand. So how can I explain it to you."

"It's okay dad. Don't worry about it. Maybe another time would be better. I just thought… never mind. Anyway I best be heading to school anyway."

Heather puts on her vest and boots and heads out the door. As she walks down the sidewalk she knows there is no way she would be able to stand going to school today. She thinks maybe she should head down to the hospital and get checked out. Maybe the tests are wrong and she was just freaking out for no reason. In the end she decides to head down to the mall to sit and think to try to clear her head. As she sits face down in the Happy Burger booth she tries to make sense of what Harry meant when he said "You don't really have a mother."

"What am I like some kind of test tube baby? But he said mom died when I was born so... uhhhh I don't get it." She slams her hand down on the table. Before she knows it she falls asleep face down on the booth.
