It was a very dark night when I woke up through a noise like a loud bang.
I was annoyed because I had dreamed sweetly.
My hand went to the side of the bed where my husband should be but he was not there. I wondered where he was because we were far from the city in a small wooden house in the forest.
Outside I heard the voice of someone. I did not try to turn on the light. I got up to see where my husband was but I couldn't find him in the whole house. I took a look through a small gap in the curtains of the bedroom's window. I couldn't see anything and also the voice had fallen silent. Only the wind shook the window shutters of the house. It was a little creepy and I got goosebumps.
Suddenly, that voice again, this time the voice called me. The power of the wind was strong and I couldn't make a difference if it was a male or a female voice. What should I do? I did not know. I decided to go outside to see what has happened. I opened the front door. It was dark, I couldn't even see my hands before the eyes.
With the time, my eyes got used to the darkness.
The trees looked like ghosts with long legs and arms. From the distance, I heard the scream of an owl. I felt as if it called me to come. I did not want but it was like an inner coercion to follow the call of the owl. My feet started walking, first slowly and then faster and faster. I was frightened. The noises of the branches under my feet sounded like the screams of wounded creatures.
Suddenly, I saw a light coming closer and closer. When it reached me I had to recognize, it was not only one single light. There were thousands of dancing light spots in the air. I wanted to go back to the house but I couldn't move my legs anymore.
The light spots formed to a terrible grimace and it was as if the grimace's mouth laughed at me. At the same time, I felt how the ground under my feet caved in. I sank deep and deeper, about me the grin of the light-monster and under my feet that deep hole. I was lost!
The light monster got arms and hands and tried to grab me. I wanted to scream but no one single sound came out of my mouth. The hole became deeper and the arms of the monster longer and longer. I felt how my tears run over my cheeks.
Suddenly the arms of the monster reached and touched my arms.
A warm voice spoke to me and I felt how someone shook gently my shoulders.
"Darling, do you have a nightmare? Just wake up, please! Don't cry!". It was the voice of my husband. I woke up, wet from cold sweat but happy to find myself in my bed.

Yes Rose. I think I like nightmares:)
Hahaha, Estanis, don't worry, I got you. Hahaha, it's only, if I start writing, I have always to care. My last stories here on the challenge and also others of my stories are always too long ... maybe the reason that members don't read them ... LOL.
