I kept running, but I didnt know where. I knew the time was running out and I felt helpless that I could do nothing to stop it. A long white hallway was suddenly streched out before me and I walked slowly. There was only one door in the whole hall and it was right at the end. I walked inside and fell to my knees. On the bed was Matt. I began to sob and scream, knowing he was dead. But then a soft voice told me it was alright, im here. I looked to the corner of the room, and a man around the age of 20 stood there looking at me. He came over and embraced me." I wont let them hurt you." I looked up at him." Who are you?" He smiled at me slightly and whipered into my ear." Jonah."
I felt slight shaking and opened my eyes quickly." Matt!"
" Shh im right here, its ok." He lightly pulled me into him. I looked out the window and saw it was pitch black outside, but we were at the house.
" Are you alright? you were screaming in your sleep." He brought a finger up under my eye." And crying."
" Matt I had the most horrible dream."
" What? what was it about?" The thought of telling him was a bad idea, in case he said something so I decided to lie.
" It was my mother, she tried to kill me."
" Then why did you scream my name?"
" I was scared I needed you." He kissed my lips.
" Dont worry, i`ll always be right here." I saw the pained expression on his face after he said that. He knew he probably wouldnt.
We got out of the car, Sara looking at me worridly." Is she alright?"
" Ya mom shes fine, just a bad dream." He walked past her into the house.
" Well theres two beds set up in there already, one queen size and the other a single."
" You and Matt can share the queen, i`ll take the single."
" But I thought-"
" No its alright, I always snuggle up close to him when we sleep together and I really dont want to hurt him." She understood.
When we entered the house I looked around, I heard a t.v. going in what I believe was the living room. I walked in and saw Matt already laying down watching it. He ganced up at me and scooted over in the bed.
" Sorry, but im sleeping in this one." He looked up at me sadly.
" Why?" I scratched my head.
" Because I might hurt you."
" But you never do."
" I can think of so many times that I did." I layed down on the bed and turned on my side away from him. I really didnt want to fight with him. I heard the ruffling of sheets and the t.v turn off. I thought Matt had gone to sleep. His mother walked into the room.
" Matt what are you doing?"
I rolled onto my back and saw him sitting up staring at the doorway.
" Nothing just looking around." Sara went over and layed down beside him.
" K then go to sleep now."
I rolled back over and stared at the wall. It felt weird in this house. I moved my head to look at the doorway, feeling as though someone was standing there watching us. I felt the sheets lift up and a hand on my side. I tensed up and closed my eyes tight.
" Dont worry its only me." Matts voice was right beside my ear, low and soft.
" What are you doing?"
" I cant sleep with my mom, it doesnt feel right cause I cant do this to her."
He began to slowly kiss my neck and I smiled. But then the feeling washed over me again and I tilted my head toward the door.
" Whats wrong?"
" Dont you have a weird feeling about this house?"
" Well kind of, why what do you think?"
" I dont know, its like someones watching from over by the door."
" Weird, I thought I saw someting by that door when I turned the t.v off."
" This house gives me the creeps." I felt his hand rubbing my arm.
" K lets stop before we scare ourselves and we cant go to sleep."
We both laughed a little and he laid his head down beside mine. It wasnt long before Matt had fallen asleep. I couldnt sleep, so I gently stood from the bed and walked around a bit. I didnt know why but I wanted to go upstairs. I tried not to make much noise but the steps creaked a little. Once I reached the top, I looked down the hall to the 4 bedrooms. I was drawn to the one at the very end.
I opened the door and gazed inside. It was empty but very cold. I looked over to the window and saw it was closed. There was another door and I opened it cautiously. It was a dark closet. A draft came blowing at my feet. I trned back to the window and saw it cracked open a bit." Thats not possible." My eyes were wide and my voice was shaky. I quickly exited the room and closed the door. I almost ran down the stairs and fell, I was so frightened.
I slowly made my way back into the bed and closed my eyes tightly, Matt stired a little beside me." Where did you go?"
" I just had to go to the bathroom."
" your really cold and shaky. Are you ok?"
" Ya im fine there was just a draft." He didnt respond after that so I took it that he was asleep. I closed my eyes and willed myself to sleep.
My rest was short lived, for movement beside me made my eyes quickly open. Matt had gotten up from the bed and was walking toward the kitchen. I looked out the window and saw it was still dark." Matt what are you doing?" He didnt respond to me. I rubbed my eyes and got up to follow him." Matt, where are you going?" He turned and grabbed the door handle to the basement.
