I got the impression that I had to drive a long time to get to wherever I was going. I go to my destination late in the day, the sun was beginning to set. The place was a house way out in the woods. There were huge rolling hills surrounding the house, and large green trees. The sun setting behind the trees was so beautifull and magnificent. I was quickly at ease and comfortable.
The house was a cabin. It was fairly big, 3 or 4 rooms, and it had a large covered deck. It had a chimney which suggested a fire place inside or a wood bunring stove. And on the roof there were sunlights cut out.
I went inside with my suitcase and looked around. No one was there. I quickly got a sense of panic. Why wasnt the person I was meeting there? Where had they gone?
It quickly grew dark and I was beggining to get worried. I went out on the porch and looked around. I could see lights in the woods moving about very quickly. As if whoever had the flashlights were running. I stood out and watched them for a while and then noticed the lights were comming straight for the house.
I went downstairs to meet whoever it was. The came up to the door frantic and out of breath. It was the person I was meeting and someone else. The person I was meeting was an older woman, probobly mid 50's and the person with her must have been her grand daughter. She was very beautifull. Long brown hair with bangs, she was taller than me by atleast 2 inches and she was dressed in blue jeans and a black tank top.
They said they were being chased by something, they didnt know what it was but they needed my help. I helped them in. They said there was no time to wasted, that we had to get out of there. That what ever it was was going to get them.
Just then I heard something scraping at the walls. I went to look out the window. I caught a glimpse of whatever the thing was and was terrified. I told them to get whatever they needed and that we were leaving immeadiately.
We all got into my car and I put the pedal to the metal and tore off. I looked in the rearview mirror and the thing was gaining on us. The old woman screamed and I looked forward and we ran through a wooden fence and into someones back yard. There were lots of cars in the yard, like it was a gathering of some sort. I slamed on my brakes but the ground was muddy and it did no good, we slid into a deep puddle of mudd and the car was stuck. We quickly got out and tried to get help but the people who the cars belonged to were no where to be seen. Just then I saw the creature and must have passed out.
I awoke in what I thought was a hospital, but it turns out it was an insanse asylum. Apparently the old woman and the girl had told the police that there was a creature chasing them and they thought the two were crazy so they locked us all up.
I awoke in a bed, confused and disoriented. I went out walking around to try to find the woman and the girl. I came upon the old womans room. She was glad to see me. The girl was not in the room. So I went out looking for her. I went outside on the terrace and there she was, sitting on a bench and looking over a pond.
I stood there looking at her, I dont know how long I was there. She was so beautiful. She turned around and saw me, then turned back to looking at the pond. I went to sit down beside her. I asked her what was wrong and she didnt answer. Then she took my hand and stood up, she wanted me to come with her. We walked outside for a long time before she spoke. We came to a small tree, it looked like it was dieing. She spoke of some kind of profecy and about 3 keys. Just then the old woman came behind me. She said that one of the keys was under the tree infront of me. Another key was somewhere infront of the tall grass behind the tree and the other key was inside of the water fountain in the pond. She told me that at midnight we would come out and get the keys.
We all went inside, I followed the woman and girls to their room. Their room was at the end of a long hall, concrete floors and wooden walls. Paintings hung on them, very old paintings. There were candle holders on the walls for lights. The candles gave an eerie glow down the hall. It was almost scary.
After I made sure that they were alright I went back to my room. A long the way I saw many old people. They all had white hair and they were all mumbling something that I couldent make out. I got to my room and went to bed.
I was awakend by a knocking on my door. It was the girl. She was wearing all black with tall black boots. She looked so pretty. But yet she was sad looking. She said it was time.
I got up and got dressed and followed her, we met up with the old woman and she gave us shovels. We all went outside. The first key we were going to get was under the tree. But to save time me and the girl dug for the key under the tree and the old woman was going to get one out of the fountain in the pond.
We got our key dug out and walked over to the old woman to give it to her. She was having trouble getting her key but she said she would be okay and for us to get the key by the tall grass.
We started off towards the grass, the girl looked at me, stopped me and gave me a hug. She looked away quickly and started off. I had to walk fast to catch up.
Just then we spotted the creature. It was angered. It ran towards us. We turned around and ran as fast as we could. We saw the exit from the asylum and we ran towards it. All of a sudden there was no more ground, but a huge hole filled with some kind of orange gell substance. We fell into it. Just our heads were sticking out and we saw the creature jump over the gell and run off.
What was this stuff we were in? Whatever it was we couldent get out. We couldent scream, we couldent make a noise at all. We were stuck, helpless. I manage to turn my head enough to look at the girl. She was terrified. I felt sorry for her. I wanted to hold her and comfort her and tell her everything was going to be ok. But I couldent. I managed to get one of my arms free and so did the girl. But thats all we could do, the substance was beggining to harden. And I felt myself sinking little by little into it.
Off in the distance I could see the woman she was at the tall grass, digging frantically. I gave up hope, I knew I was going to die in this orange goo. The girl was crying. She looker at me, tears streaming from her face and I couldent help but start crying myself. Her eyes looked desperate. She was sinking.
I looked around and saw the woman running towards us. She held up all 3 keys and threw us both a knife. I began to cut myself out franticaly. The goo was still soft enough that it cut easily. I was soon free. I pulled myself out of the hole and stood up. The girls was free as well, and she tried to pull herself out. I went over and helped her.
She immediately hugged me tightly. I thought she was never going to let go and that would have been fine with me. I hugged back just as tight. I rubbed her back and her hair. I was so happy just then. I dont know how long we stood there holding eachother.
Just then we were not in the courtyard of the insane asylum anymore but we were in the streets of a city. Me and the girl were happy, we were running a long singing along to Venus by Theatre of Tragedy. The girl was smiling and her eyes were happy and so were mine.
We rounded a corner and bumped into 3 burly men. They were angered by us being there. I knew the only way out of this was to fight my way out. I wasnt about to let them harm my girl. I fought them all off. I was infuriated. I took a few hits by them, but it wasnt bad. I fought them all off with inhuman strength as they were much bigger and stonger than I.
Me and the girl continued our parade through the city streets, singing along to Theatre of Tragedy songs.
I wound up taking her home, but it wasnt the cabin. It was a house in a swanky neighborhood. The house was huge, it was white with a tan roof. And a huge balcony on the second floor. We walked inside and went up to her room. Her room was the one with the balcony. I stood infront of the glass door to the balcony. I held her from behind, my head on her shoulder. She reached up and touched my cheek with her hand. I knew that I had to go. That I was never comming back. She knew it too. We stood there like that and watched the sun set.
She turned around to face me. We looked eachother in the eyes. We kissed.
And just then I woke up.
