I was having the usual dream, me with my sister, but that's when my dream changed into a nightmare.

We were walking the way Emma likes to walk home. When we passed the abandoned parking lot, we noticed something strange. It looked like a broken bed frame.

All of a sudden, a big tornado of black sand shot out from under it. Nightmares appeared all around us. I needed to protect Emma.

I turned some nightmares to sweet dreams, and then we ran. We ran down the block as fast as we could. We skidded to a halt at the crosswalk.

Cars, lots of them were passing in front of us. I almost suggested we climb over the cars or go around them when I heard Emma scream from behind me. I turned; ready to fight more nightmares, only to see a whirlpool of dark sand closing up, to my horror. I could only stand there and realize, I failed at protecting her, and the Boogeyman got her again.

It skipped to a revised memory. I woke up to Emma screaming, hoping this was all just a nightmare, but when I turned my head I saw her clinging to her bed for dear life. I rushed to her aid, screaming her name.

When I grabbed her hand I asked her "Why aren't you saving yourself!" all she replied, crying, was "I can't! I'm being pulled down!" that's when she sunk down into the abyss of black sand after slipping right out of my hand.

I almost wanted to scream at the guardians. This nightmare made me believe no matter what they do they wouldn't really "save her" save her, Pitch would find a way to take her back. Of course, Pitch could be just giving me the nightmare to scare me into a non-believer.

Sandy said my light was really bright on the globe. Maybe Pitch didn't like that, maybe he thought it would grab the guardians attention and they would save the day and he didn't want that to happen, so he gave me this nightmare to try and snuff my light, by scaring me.

Well, I hate to tell you this Pitch, but if you didn't want my light that bright you shouldn't have stolen my sister in the first place, and giving me this nightmare only proves they are real, or else I wouldn't have it at all.

"Seems you are desperate, aren't you?"

I looked around the room. Was that me or him? I heard a bit of laughter. Still confused, who is that?

"First you don't know what to believe in and now you firmly decide to believe in them."

Hello, still waiting for an answer here. "It seems no matter what I do to you, you'll do anything to get your dear sister back." It's him.

"Well, if I'm desperate, so are you!" I snapped.

"Really, am I?" he said nonchalantly.

"Yeah, sandy said I was making a bright light on the globe, you probably want it snuffed, so you came here trying to make me stop believing, I bet I'm being watched, you're lucky to have given me this nightmare, I'm telling you, coming here only proved they exist, so I'm not going to stop believing."

"So, they came to you already."

"Yeah, that's right!" I said, masking the fear of what was going through his head.

"hmm." He sounded to himself. Then he appeared right behind me, which made me jump a little "You're right, I am desperate. Desperate to keep the fear, so much fear, inside your sister, from it comes so many nightmares."

"Have you ever heard the saying, the only way to face your fear is if it's staring you in the face? If you want her to be afraid, making her your captive isn't the solution."

He pondered that thought, but I knew he wouldn't let her go. "She'll always be afraid, she can never expect what's going to being coming at her, day after day. It seemed like she was getting over her fear here, because of my sand, and I would never be able to live with myself if that happened. So, I captured her to remind her, she should always be afraid of me." he remarked, answering my question.

Before I could say 'if you didn't want to slip up, you shouldn't have given her that many nightmares' He said "you should be too. This nightmare is showing you reality. No matter how many times they save her, I will get her back." Then he laughed slinking into the shadows.

That's it. He's insane, is he trying to make me paranoid. I would've threatened him, but I don't think he finds me that menacing. I was really mad now, I wanted to storm into his lair and save her, but I couldn't without being caught, plus I just couldn't. he thinks he can just take her away from me, well once I get her back, I'm not letting her go so easily again.

I was shaking with fury. "Pitch! You won't get away with this." I yelled. "not again." I said to myself, half filled with doubt.

He kept laughing in the background. That's when I woke with a start.
