Epilogue
"Oh my goodness you are just too funny!" I laughed as I came back into my house from swimming.
It had been 2 months since the pay-per-view and my life was better than ever. I had graduated high school with high honors, Rey opened up a clothing store for me, and best of all I wasn't having anymore nightmares.
"So what are you up to?" Josh asked. He had called me just as I finished my night swimming. I had been doing that every night after work. Running the shop always had me tired so swimming was my way of relaxing.
"Nothing much, just getting ready to change clothes so I can go to bed." I told him as I stopped in the kitchen to grab something to drink. "What about you?"
"Uh…just chillin really…oh I got excepted in Ohio State." He said.
I gasped, "Really! Oh my gosh congratulations!"
"Thanks." He said.
"What's the matter? You don't sound excited…"
He sighed, "I am excited but…I don't want to leave you behind."
"Awe Joshy…" I said as I climbed the steps. "I'll find a way to keep in touch don't worry."
"You don't understand Rachel…I love you."
I froze at the top of the steps, "You what?"
He chuckled, "You heard me girl. I mean I know we're best friends and all…but I've really started to see myself with you."
I smiled and started walking towards my room. "Awe that's so cute Josh."
"So what do you say…come with me to Ohio." He said. "I'll take good care of you."
I sighed as I walked into my room and took a seat on my bed. "I don't know Josh. I need time to think it over if that's alright."
"Take all the time you need, just make sure you don't forget to answer me." He said.
I giggled, "I won't…"
"Alright I'll talk to you later ok?" he told me.
I nodded, "Ok. Goodnight Josh."
"Goodnight."
I shut my cell phone and then tossed it to the side. I then got up and went to my dresser so I could brush my hair. As I was in the process of brushing it I heard the front door close from downstairs. Thinking it was Rey, I continued brushing my hair before deciding to go get in the shower. While I was in there, I started hearing strange sounds coming from outside of the door. I listened quietly but couldn't understand what I was hearing. I shut off the water and hopped out, wrapping a towel around my body.
I walked up to my bathroom door slowly, still listening to the strange sound. It was then that I realized it wasn't just any sound…it was chanting.
My body grew cold as I slowly cracked the door open and looked into the hallway. No one was out there but there was an eerie fog on the ground moving towards my bedroom. Something told me not to follow the trail, that I was just dreaming and that I would wake up soon, but nothing like that happened. The chanting suddenly grew louder from the other end of the hall. I glanced towards the stairs and saw three hooded men standing there. I gasped and ran towards my bedroom not believing this was happening to me.
When I got to my room, the chanting stopped and the fog was gone. Was I sleep walking? I turned around and looked down the hall but there was no one there. I sighed to myself and covered my face with my hands.
"Come on Rachel…pull yourself together" I said as I turned and went into my bedroom. "He's done with you now and this is all over…"
When I put my hands down, I was standing in front of my full body mirror. I smiled at myself before I noticed something sitting on my laptop. It was a black rose…I turned around and stared at it for a moment, wondering how it got there. I was about to walk over to it when I saw my reflection in my vanity mirror…
Standing right behind me where my full body mirror was supposed to be, was the tall dark shadow that haunted and tormented me for months on end….the Weaver of Nightmares himself…
I gasped and screamed before he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me back through the mirror…
He laughed darkly and whispered, "Now…you're mine," before I fell unconscious.
