Dream
Her hair was like the sun, beautiful red mixed with orange and yellow, her eyes looked like ocean blue, but nothing in this world was more meaningful to me than her smile..
" Rowan wake up, Happy Birthday"
my mother always did have the brightest of ways to wake me up on my birthday but before I could muster up any words she told me, " now what does my lovely daughter wanna do today with dear old me." I laughed she always knows what I want to do, which is skip school and spend the whole day with her and that we did.. At the moment of opening gifts I got Headphones, 3 Harry Potter books, and there was one gift left. I reached for it, it looked to be like a picture frame but the bright pink colored paper scrambled my brain. I held it in my hands, eyeballing my mother . If any hints were available she only giggled and said, " yeah yeah I know but you get to find out for yourself" I took a deep breath and tore a piece off before hearing screams from outside. my heartbeat quickened, I look at mom as she walked to the door and looked out of the window, her hands stranded to shake, her voice was gone, she looked at me the fear in her eyes as she motioned for me to go upstairs, my body was froze and tense I wanted her to come with me and make it seem like I was going to be okay. She motioned again this time with fright mixed in with anger, I didn't know what to do, I got up slowly trying to make little noise as possible and head up stairs when all of a sudden the screams stopped. It was quiet... too quiet... so quiet I could hear both mine and my mother's heart beating nearly out of our chests.... we relaxed a little mom stepped away from the door and smiled at me, I smiled back thinking what happened was just a prank or something, but for some odd reason my heart and my gut hurt more and more like a warning to run but I didn't. Mom was about to grab the rain when the door busted open and t-this thing came in, it had no eyes, it's tongue looked like it was a foot long, teeth in rows, blood dripped down its mouth, it's body looked like it was 8 feet tall but skinny as if it hadn't eaten in forever. My mom and I were still frozen. She took a small step back and tried to go up the stairs to me, but the closer she got the closer the "thing" came. 3 more stairs and I could feel the earth of my mother's embrace but the next step she took a sudden "crack" made noise and the thing lunged at her. We ran up the steps faster then we ever have, my heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest, mom was right behind me, we got to the end of the hallway I stopped only to be pushed into the bathroom and locked in... the door was clear glass, she looked at me with tears streaming down her face, she looked me in the eyes and said, " whatever happens don't come out, I love you baby, I'm sorry" I started to cry... I wanted to be with her.... The "thing" got closer till it was right in front of my mom.. It felt like it was looking at me, and smiled as it grabbed my mother's legs and dragged her away leaving only faint screams and cries with a trail of blood behind.... I closed my eyes and blocked my ears as I buried my face into my legs .. it felt like hours had passed until my eyes went black and I fell sideways onto the floor.. I couldn't hear anything.... couldn't see anything... now everything is... Black...
