Nightmare

Tara Pov:

                     I was surrounded in dark. I am panting heavily. Where is this place? “Hello, is anyone here?” I shouted. I started to cry.

I heard a laughing sound. I moved forward toward the voice. “Hello”

“I am here angel, come to me,” the voice said

“W- Who is that,” I asked in a trembling voice.

I didn’t get any reply from that voice. Suddenly someone hugged me from the back. I shout and struggle to get out of that grip.

“There is no escape from me angel,” the voice said.

“N-N- No. Please Leave” I said and cried miserably. I am shouting and begging him to leave. I am in his stronghold. With a jerk, I open my eyes. I was breathing heavily. I am sweating like a pig.

“It’s just a dream. I am here with my family. It’s just a dream” I said to myself like a Mantra.

“Who is that? What dream is that?” I look at the clock, It’s just 6 Am. My mom use to say, early morning dreams will come true.

“God, Please I don’t want this to come true. It is terrific” I join my hands and prayed to god.

After some time I got ready and went down. My brother is looking at me in shock. I know why that is. I never wake up this soon in my life. I went near him and close his hanging mouth.

My grandpa said “Dear, are you not feeling well? What happened?”

“I am great, nothing happened. I had a bad dream. So…” I said

“Then let my sister have his dream every day,” my brother said. And there we started our fight. I started to beat him and he as usual holds my hair. We were shouting and cursing each other. My grandpa is laughing at us.

“Oh, God! Stop it now. You old man, you are spoiling them” my grandma scolded. She placed our breakfast on the table.

“Tara dear, you should not do this to your little brother,” my grandma said

“I am not little. I am way better than her. I should have been born before her” my brother resorted.

“See, see grandma. Don’t support him” I said to grandma. My brother making faces and sticking his tough out.

“Stop it already. Have your breakfast soon before it gets cold” my grandma said. We were talking and laughed. In-between my brother is stealing my pancake. He will never change. He is such a kid. But never accept that.

“Did you pack your things, dear?” my grandpa asked

“Almost grandpa. Need to buy little stuff. I am going shopping with Darly” I said and for that grandpa nodded. Once we have done with breakfast I drop Branson at his school and leave to pick Darly.

“Babies, I am so excited. I have a lot of plans there” she said in excitement.

“Darly, you know we can’t go anywhere without our teacher’s knowledge right?” I asked her

“Yes, of course. We will tell them something but not the actual place we are going” she said. I look at her. “Okay, we will snick out,” she said and turn her face. I know her. She will do this sort of stuns.

“We can decide that when we reach her. Okay?” I said

“Okay, as you say,” she said in a lazy voice.

“You are early today. Did you’re brother use some trick to wake you up today?” she asked

I remember that horrific dream of mine. By thinking of that, I got goosebumps. That voice, it’s so devilish, dangerous, and cold. A shiver runs through my spine.

Darly touch my hand and said “Tara babies, Are you okay?”

I came back to sense. I started to sweat. “Y-Yeah I am good. Just a small headache”

“Okay, then we can complete our shopping soon. You take a rest. We can meet in college” she said in a worried tone.

I should forget about this dream. It’s disturbing me. I am going on a trip with my friends I should enjoy. I am making them worry. No, Tara. “IT’S. JUST. A. DREAM” I mumbled in my mind.
