Just Another Ordinary Day

Black. That's all I could see. It didn't feel like I was asleep. It seemed like I was awake and standing up, just in a pitch dark room.

I heard a creaking noise and a door swung open. It was pure white, and let in a huge streak of light. The light passed by me, but I saw a huge black figure in the doorway. It was tall and loomed high above me. The figure was very menacing, and had ginormous claws.

It stepped into the dark room, its feet tapping along the hard ground. It seemed to be heading straight for me. I took off running down a long hallway. I couldn't see a thing, and I was worried I might run into something.

But I didn't. There was nothing in front of me. The hallway seemed to stretch on forever. I could hear the creature's footsteps quicken behind me, until they were in a full sprint.

It was after me. I ran faster and faster and faster. It was getting hard to breathe. I looked back, but couldn't see anything. I didn't know how far or how close the monster was.

Eventually I came to a set of stairs. After nearly falling face-first into them, I clambered up the stairs, trying to get away.

A light shone at the top of the stairs. I ran as fast as I could towards them. I could still hear the creature's feet tapping against the floor.

I began sprinting up the stairs. I just wanted to get to that light. But it seemed to just keep getting farther and farther away.

The monster was getting closer. Its footsteps were closer and louder. I ran as fast as I could, but it was as if I was running on a stair-stepper.

I eventually decided to just jump off. I closed my eyes, even though it didn't make much of a difference, and jumped right off the stairs. To my utter shock, I sank right through the floor.

Screaming, I fell farther down until I landed on something soft. It slowly began to get brighter until the whole room was illuminated.

I found myself sitting in the meadow back home. Except I was sitting on a giant flower. And I was puny, and the meadow was ginormous.

Ok, this was weird. It went from scary to just plain-out freaky.

All of a sudden, the ground began to shake violently. I thought it was an earthquake, until I saw a bunch of bugs running beneath me screaming, "Bunny! Run for lives!" and "Head for the hills!"

What the heck? Since when do bugs talk? And why are they afraid of a BUNNY? And why are they so BIG? Oh, right. I'm PUNY!

The shaking got louder and closer. Suddenly, a humongous white paw slapped down in front of my flower. When I looked up, I saw a gigantic white bunny leaning over the flower. My eyes widened as it opened its mouth and engulfed the flower, and me.

When I opened my eyes next, I was lying on a bed, in a bedroom. The bedroom seemed oddly familiar... Was I back home? How did I get here? I thought I was just eaten by a huge bunny?

No... I know where I am! I'm in my bedroom at me grandparent's cottage!

I was surrounded by pink. The walls were a light pink, and the bedspread was white with pink polka-dots. There was a fluffy pink rug covering the hardwood floor, and a jewelled pink canopy hung about me. The bed was painted white, and was covered in stuffed animals. They were all either pink or white. A dresser stood in one corner covered in little pink decorations and heart stickers. A small white table stood in the middle of the room with a pink tea set on it. Kitty posters covered the walls, along with stick-on hearts that matched the ones on the dresser. A tall lamp stood beside the dresser. It was, of course, pink and white.

I had seriously forgotten how much I liked pink when I was a kid. It was actually kind of scary...

"Chelsea..." a soft, high-pitched voice called out from somewhere. "Where are you, Chelsea?"

I jumped up off the bed and looked around. I suddenly realized I was wearing a white nightgown with a pink bow, and fluffy pink slippers. They were like my childhood pyjamas enlarged to adult size.

Talk about freaky.

"Chelsea..." a different voice called out. "Chelsea... We love you Chelsea..."

I spun around to see an army of stuffed toys standing at my feet. I screamed and jump up onto the white chair that had been sitting behind me.

"Don't be scared, Chelsea..." a pink unicorn said. "We're your friends!"

"Yeah..." a white dog with pink hearts all over it said. "We missed you, Chelsea..."

"FuFu?" I asked the dog. "FuFu! I thought I lost you in the ocean when we went swimming!"

"You did..." FuFu said calmly. "But I came home, only to find you gone. That didn't make FuFu happy."

"No... No..." the other toys echoed each other.

"You'll never leave us again..." FuFu said, his face darkening. "We love you, Chelsea. Don't leave us. And just to make sure you don't..."

FuFu grew about ten times his regular size. He grabbed me and placed me in one of the chairs at the tea table. He then grabbed a pink rope and tied me to the chair.

"There..." FuFu said, his voice dark and scary. "Now You'll never leave us again!"

This was extremely freaky. I closed my eyes tightly, hoping that when I opened them this nightmare would be over.

When I reopened my eyes, FuFu and my old bedroom had disappeared. I was now standing on the beach back on Sunny Island, watching the sun set beneath the waves.

Vaughn was standing next to me, holding my hand. My head was resting on his shoulder peacefully. I quietly looked around. No freaky monsters... no giant bunnies... no vengeful stuffed dogs... Ok, maybe this place was safe.

I looked up at Vaughn, who looked down at me. He smiled happily, and leaned down and kissed me.

When he pulled away, we were no longer on the beach. We were on my farm, but it was on fire. Flames leaped greedily from my house and chicken coop. Vaughn and I were both covered in soot and ash.

Vaughn looked at me with sad eyes, and ran off back into my house. Except my house looked bigger. I could hear him screaming someone's name...

"Valerie! Valerie!"

My chicken? Why was he looking for my chicken, in my burning house?

I looked around frantically. The other residents were gathered around my house and coop, throwing buckets of water at them to try and douse the flames.

Julia ran up to me and hugged me tight. "Don't worry, Chels..." she whispered. "He'll find her..."

"Who's he looking for?" I asked, but before Julia could answer, everything around me turned to dust, and was blown away, leaving me all alone in nothing.

I closed my eyes, hoping that this nightmare would end. Everything was just too freaky...
