     I'm in an underground maze, I'm running but I don't know why. Everything around me looks old and rotten, there's an old smell in the air, almost like wet rust. I'm looking for a way out when suddenly I see a ladder, I start climbing in a panic. I poke my head through a small opening, it looks like I'm in some sort of attic. There's a red bunk bed, a carpet it looks nice but something feels wrong about it.
"Go in"
I hear in a whisper voice, suddenly I keep hearing it "go in, go in GO IN"
It sounds like it's coming from all around me growing louder and louder, I want to start climbing down the ladder but something grabs my hair, I close my eyes and scream.

GAHH!
I'm awake.
Holy crap, my dream woke me up again!? Ugh what time is it...?

I want to roll over to check the time but I can't, I tried rolling over and I just shifted a little but barely. It feels like there's something heavy on me, holding me down. I can't even speak or open my eyes, like I would want to open them anyways.

Oh god, not this crap again...ok, ok, it's going to be okay, it's all in your mind...breath in...breath out..

Just as I thought I was gaining control again something brushed against my leg, it felt like long hair.

NO NO THIS ISNT REAL, ITS ALL IN YOUR MIND, ITS ALL IN YOUR MIND! GET IT TOGETHER NAOMI!

Suddenly I heard a deep horrible sound, it was a raspy laugh, as if someone who smoked 20 packs a day laughed.

NO NO, GET OUT, ITS NOT REAL, NONE OF THIS IS REAL!

I'm shaking so bad, I'm trying so hard to move but nothing, I can feel my eyes starting to water up. To make matters worse I could feel my right foot exposed, and slightly hanging off my bed.

PLEASE JUST HURRY, MOVE AGAIN DAMMIT!

I can feel tears run down my shaking face, and just like before I felt the long hair brush my leg.

JUST LET ME PICK MY FOOT UP PLEASE!

Suddenly I felt an ice cold hand grab my foot...

"Honey...dont you know not to let your foot dangle like this? Outside of your covers, be careful, or else the boogeyman might grab them...HAHAHA!"

WHO IS THAT, WHOS THERE?!

"Who am I? No darling WHAT am I.. HAHAHA"

I felt a long tongue start running up my leg, making its way to my tear stricken face.
"Now then, let's take a bite..."

I SAID MOVE DAMMIT!

Suddenly I SPRANG up from my sleeping position, gasping for air, I was crying and looking around my room.

"Honey what's wrong, did it happen again? Ben go get her a glass of water."

My mom and dad came into my room, my dad brought me my water and they assured me that everything was going to be fine. "It was just a dream" they always said that, but even I knew it was more that that. I felt like I was always a disappointment to them, I would tell them what happened and they'd just exchange concerned glances. As if I were crazy.

When they went back to their room I was calm again, it was 3:45 now, It probably all started at around 3:00. Just as I was about to sleep again I saw a long, single, black hair on my pillow.
I knew it wasn't mine, I dyed my hair bubblegum pink about a month ago, and my mom has blond hair.

This was it, I knew I wasn't crazy. Whatever it is, it can't be good, and I now feel as though my dreams and sleep, are no longer safe.
