The Nightmare

"Remember to call me if you need anything alright?" my brother said that following Thursday. He was leaving to head to New Jersey for a Smackdown showing. For some reason I found myself slightly terrified to be home alone this time. Normally being at home wasn't much of a problem, but now…it was.

"I'll call you and don't forget to think about what I asked you." I told him,

He sighed, "I'll think about it. In fact I'll even talk to La Familia about it."

I rolled my eyes, "Must you consult them about everything? I mean you raised me just fine these past four years."

"Yea but I don't want to take a risk of you getting hurt Rachel. Look that man is-"

"-I know what he is, and I get it."

"So why do you want to go so bad?" he asked.

I thought about it not really knowing why I wanted to go. It was almost as if someone was doing the talking for me from inside.

"I don't know Rey maybe I want to spend a little more time with my older sibling before I leave for college after summer."

His face softened up, "I was really trying not to think about that."

"Well it's coming quick. Before you know it I'll be gone and on my own. Please don't deprive me of having some fun with you."

He smiled and then hugged me, "I love you sis, and I'm sorry for being such a pain…but believe me when I say, that man is dangerous."

I sighed and then kissed his cheek, "Have a good trip Rey and don't bring home another diva…"

He laughed and grabbed his bags before heading out the door. I watched him leave from the porch and then headed back inside, locking the door as soon as I got in. I looked around at the empty house and decided to call Serena to talk for awhile.

"Girl I freaking miss you!" I said as I plopped down on the couch and turned on the TV.

She sighed, "I know I miss you too, but don't worry, I'll be visiting you next month."

I gasped, "For real! Wow I can't wait!"

"Yea, I'm coming in town to see Smackdown, you should totally come with me." She said.

I laughed, "How weird, I was just talking to Rey about letting me go. I'm still waiting on that answer."

"Why wouldn't he want you to go? You're his little sister." She said.

I sighed, "That's precisely why he doesn't want me to go…he's afraid this Undertaker guy will try to hurt me because of that reason."

She fell silent.

"Serena? Are you there?" I asked.

"Yea I'm here…it's just that…I think you're brother has a point Rachel. The Undertaker isn't what I like to call one of the nice ones in the WWE. Your aunt has been trying to avoid him for some months now."

I chuckled, "Serena come on, if it was real don't you think he would have caught her by now?"

"Well...yea…look you have to watch the show to understand it better." She said.

I sighed, "I haven't been able to due to cheerleading."

"True, well let me give you a tip…the man always gets what he wants and if he doesn't get that title back soon, he'll take something else in return. As of right now, he wants your aunt's soul."

I giggled, "Ok now I know you all are crazy. Serena the Undertaker is just a man. There is no way he can take someone's soul."

She sighed, "If you say so, anyways if you go with me, we'll make sure he has no clue that you're Rey's sister. Besides you have no part in La Familia so maybe he won't even look at you that night."

"See, now you're seeing my side of it." I said as I put down the remote and went to the kitchen for a drink.

She giggled, "You're silly. So do you have a date for the prom yet?"

"No, but my brother suggested me going with Cody Rhodes…"

"Eww…no way." She said. "That kid makes the women throw up in their mouths."

I laughed as I poured myself some apple juice, "Serena! That's so mean."

"But it's true." She said.

I shook my head, "Anyways, I've got my dress. It's gold."

"Awe, gold always looked so pretty on you." She said.

"Thanks," I said as I glanced out of the window. It was starting to get dark out so I walked around the house and locked all of the doors and windows. Serena and I talked for a few more hours before I let her go for the night.

I then got a quick shower before heading to my room and hopping on my laptop. I wasn't sure why, but I decided to check out a few websites that were related to the Undertaker. He had so many fans and reading a few of their fanfics was pretty nice as well. I was just about to log out of one of the websites when I noticed something strange. At the bottom of the page was an animated graveyard with different names on them. The caption above read, The Undertaker's Victims. I read each of the tombstones carefully making sure my brother wasn't listed. I was nearly satisfied with what I saw until I got to the last tombstone which read, "Reserved for a member of La Familia."

I sighed and then closed my laptop, suddenly feeling very tired. I laid my head down on my pillows and yawned not sure why I felt this way. Before dozing off, I turned on my alarm so that I wouldn't miss my wake up call for school.

As soon as I was asleep, I had a dream that I had woken up in my bed because I heard a crash from downstairs. I got up from my bed and slowly made my way down the hall to see what it was. The staircase was covered in fog and I could hear a strange chant coming from a few people. When I made it to the top of the steps, the chanting seemed that much louder. I could see a purple light shining from the living room and I began to descend the steps.

"Hello?" I called out, but the chanting continued. "Who is there?"

Still I got no answer, so I kept walking down the steps. I felt like I couldn't control myself as I walked. I wanted to slow down but, I was being pulled towards the living room. When I got there, I saw eight hooded figures standing on the living room. There were four to my left and four to my right. They were each holding a torch and I freaked out.

"Hey! You're going to burn my house down you freaks!" I yelled. "Put those out and stop that damn chanting!"

They didn't listen to me; instead they took one of their hands and pointed towards the kitchen, which was behind me. I slowly turned around and looked across the hall, where The Undertaker stood, staring me down. His eyes burned with a rage I had never seen in anyone. In his hand he held a large scythe in his hand. I felt my heart beginning to pound hoping he wasn't going to use that on me.

He then smirked and began to approach me. I backed away quickly until I ran into the back of the couch. I crotched down as he got closer and closer until he was finally standing over me. I looked up into his eyes, finding nothing but a pure dark soul.

"What do you want from me?" I asked him.

His smirk disappeared and raised the scythe above his head, "I want…your soul…"

I gasped, closed my eyes and let out an ear splitting scream as he swung scythe down in my direction. When I opened my eyes, I was sitting up in my bed with the sun slowly rising in the horizon. My face was sweaty, my heart was still pounding, and worst of all…my laptop was open and sitting on my desk.

I was about to get up and close it when I felt a little pain on my side. I lifted my shirt and became very scared when I saw a thin cut just above my hip. It was bleeding slightly and it stung like hell. I then wondered…just where in the hell did I get it? As I got up to get ready for school, That thought remained with me.
