• Dangerous to dream •

• Part 8 - Nightmare •

My skin prickled in the ice cold.

I felt a cool autumn breeze frost over me.

I opened my eyes to find myself in the forbidden forest.

Snape had told me all about the for at and it's many dangers.

How did I get here though?

The wood was dark and eerie.

Goosebumps covered my whole body from head to toe.

It felt like at any moment I could be swallowed up by the darkness.

I stood up.

I wasn't wearing any shoes and the leaves were cold and wet beneath my feet.

The silence i. The forest was loud.

"Hello? Is anybody there"

Snap.

I spun around only to see nothing but the darkness.

"H-hello?"

Snap.

"Who's there?"

My breathing became frantic.

The hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

I began a cold sweat under my arms and across my back.

Someone was watching me.

"Show yourself goddammit!"

Suddenly I was pushed back with an unnatural force.

I became wounded as I hit the cold wet ground.

I felt the scar on my head sting with pain.

I heaved for air.

"I'm sorry, bit much?"

"Who's there?!"

I looked around at the nothingness.

"Its me, you look just like your mother"

"What?! Who are you!"

"I'm lord Voldemort, your father"

"no, no....No! You're dead! You're gone!"

"For now...but I will return...and I will kill the boy, and take you with me"

"Kill who?"

"Harry potter"

I'd read about Harry in a few books and had seen him at the sorting...he's a griffindor, he's the boy who lived and killed my father...but...he'd done me a favour I guess...

"How are you even talking to me?!"

"Simple really, I'm in your head...always, I see and hear everything as long as you let me but it's not exactly like you can stop me...as you know nothing about occlumency"

"So you're the voice in my head, the one telling me to hurt people!"

"Yes yes, very smart indeed...just like how your mother was...but you doubt your power...everyone doubts your power but once you're with me...we can rule the world together...no one will ever doubt or hurt you ever again"

"But what about my friends, Hogwarts, my teachers!"

"Are you serious! You don't actually care for those fools do you!"

"Of course I do! They're like a family to me"

The coldness started to grow around me, suffocate me.
