“If you can’t wake up from the nightmare, maybe you’re not asleep.”
[CONTINUATION OF PREVIOUS DRABBLE]Prudence stood up and quickly ran back to her room and bolted the door shut. She checked the windows and made sure they were shut tight. “I didn’t happen. It’s your imagination. Probably just a Halloween prank happening early. There is an explanation for everything” she said to herself. She tried to convince herself that she didn’t see a real group of vampires killing innocent people. It couldn’t happen could it? Vampires are mythical creatures used to scare young children… Accept Twilight which is dumb. She took a shower and played some music so try and distract herself. Once finished she placed her hair in a messy bun to dry naturally. She then got into bed and flicked through the tv channels for a while, again trying to distract herself. She finally found an old film and lay her head down on the pillow.
Prudence’s eyes fluttered open and she found herself in a dark wood. “How did I get here?” she mumbled to herself. “Did I sleep walk?” she asked the air. She stood up slowly and wandered through the woods, she didn’t have her phone or watch so had no idea what the time was, and had no way of contacting anyone. After walking for a while she finally found herself on a road. She walked down it slowly and stopped a truck that was approaching her. She asked him to take her back to her motel and he agreed. They sat in silence until he drove past her motel “ummm that’s my motel, can you turn around?” she asked. “No” he said, turning to her with an evil look on his face. He eventually stopped in a lay by and unbuckled his belt. Prudence unbuckled her belt and tried to get out but he grabbed her.
Prudence scratched his eyes causing him to leer back in pain which gave her time to get out, but she didn’t have time to run as he appeared in front of her. His fangs protruded from his gums and a sick smile fell across his face. He lunged at her but she avoid him. She ran into the woods and he followed. She found a large stick and struck him with it, before stabbing him with it. It had little effect as he just pulled it out and laughed at her.
“Wake up Prudence. WAKE UP” she yelled at herself. “WAKE THE HELL UP” she snapped at herself. Just then the vampire appeared in front of her and snarled “If you can’t wake up from the nightmare, maybe you’re not asleep”. Prudence could feel her heart beating faster, blasting in her ears. She thought it would burst right out of her chest and fall onto the floor. The vampire then lunged at her and stabbed her in the neck with his long fangs. Prudence screamed, and fell to the floor… She then sat bolt upright, sweating and panting trying to catch her breath. Her neck still felt sore and she ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Her neck appeared red. “Was it a dream?” she mumbled to herelf.
