"And then I woke up..." Sam summed her dream up as she and Erik walked home. The wind blew through Sam's blonde hair, and it grew darker and cloudier.

"That's weird..." Erik said as he and Sam came up to his house. They both walked inside and set their bags down by the door.

"Hello?" Erik called into the silent house. No reply. "I guess nobody's home."

"Do you just want to watch TV or something?" Sam asked.

"Sure," Erik said, leading her up the stairs and into his bedroom. It began to rain lightly outside as Erik and Sam flipped through the channels. Sam couldn't get that image of that man out of her mind. She nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the frontdoor downstairs slam open. She looked over at Erik, and saw that he had fallen asleep. She turned her head when she heard loud footsteps coming towards Erik's door. She stood up and slightly backed away, her heart begining to thump loudly in her ears. The bedroom door flew open, and smoke poured into the room. Sam coughed and waved her hand around in the air, brushing the smoke away from her. She walked out into the hall and gasped. The whole hallway was ablaze, and Sam could just make out the shape of someone's body by the top of the stairs. She coughed and ran over to the body, dodgding the flames, and saw it was Erik's mom. Her eyes-widened, and she heard a scraping noise from behind. She turned around and squinted through the smoke, but nobody was there. She turned back to look at Erik's mom when a metal-like claw grasped her neck. She screamed as the man from her dream's face appeared in the smoke, laughing.

"ERIK!!! HELP ME!" Sam screamed as she pushed the man back. He flew backwards and disappeared in the smoke, and Sam ran into Erik's room, slamming the door behind her.

"Erik!" She ran over to Erik and shook him. "ERIK! GET UP! HE'S COMING!" She coughed, and looked towards the door. The door began to melt, as did the whole bedroom around her. The man's laughing came from all directions, and she yelped when she felt a stinging sensation in her feet. She looked down and saw the floor was melting, and she was getting sucked in.

"ERIK!!!" She screamed, tears streaming down her face. "SOMEBODY HELP ME!!" Suddenly, the four-knives from the man's hand rose out of the melting floor, and came charging at her.

"NOOOO!!!" She screamed, appearing on top of Erik's bed with Erik shaking her.

"SAM! CALM DOWN! It was just a dream!" Erik said, as he stopped shaking her.

"W-What?" She looked around. "Oh my...I had another nightmare...and he was in it!"

"Who?"

"THAT SCARY GUY! FROM MY DREAM I HAD AT LUNCH!" Sam yelled, starting to cry.

"Sam, it's ok! He's gone, he's not real! Look, I have an idea of what to do to take your mind off this creep," Erik said, standing u.

"W-What is it?"

"Let's go see a movie. We can bring Kate, Alex, Adam, and Adam's brother. Come on, it'll be fun!"

"Oh...I don't know..."

"Come on, you know you want to," Erik smirked.

"Oh, alright, if it'll shut you up," Sam joked, playfully punching his arm.

"Ok, I'll go tell everyone, why don't you go home and take a nap or something."

"No," Sam said flatly. "The last thing I want after today...is sleep."
