I awoke with a start. I shot up out of bed, breathing heavily and drenched in a cold sweat. I turned to my left and looked at the dim red light that was comming from the digital clock on my bedside table. The little red numbers read four o'clock in the morning.

I let out a shaky breath and ran my hand through my long, black hair. This was the fifth time this week that I had that dream.

I threw the purple duvet off of me before sliding out of bed. I walked out of my room and into the dark hallway. I didn't bother with turning the hall light on because my aunt always slept with her door open and I didn't want to wake her.

I ran my hand across the wall and stopped when I finally reached the wood framing of the bathroom door. I closed the door quietly beofre turning the sink light on. I then looked into the mirror above the sink.

My once bright, hazel eyes had gone dull and dark. My naturally tan skin was now becoming pale. And the dark circles around my eyes made them look as though they had sunk into my skin. All because of these damn nightmares.

I shook my head beofre turning on the faucet. I then proceeded to lean down and wake myself up a bit. The cool water felt good against my warm skin as I continued to splash my face lightly.

Once I was finished, I grabbed a wash colth and dried my face. When I looked back into the mirror however, my breath caught in my throat.

Right behind me, I could faintly make out a figure of a man. But that's not what stood out to me. His eyes were a silver color with a golden tint. I turned around quickly, but was only met with the shodow of where he stood.

I reached over to turn the bathroom light on and see if maybe he was there, but was still met with nothing. I shook my head and summed it up to my immagination. "You're losing it, Jack," I told myslef as I walked out of the bathroom and back down the hall to my room.

However, on the way there, I heard a loud thud from downstairs. My eyes widened a bit and my heart beat sped up. I stood and listened for a moment and was met with another thud, this time a bit louder.

Then, a voice. "Damn it," a man's voice said with a slight chuckle. "That hurt."

"Shut the hell up," said another man's voice. This one had a slight lisp. "She'll hear us."

At that, my ears perked up. I walked in the opposite direction of my room and toward the stairs. I stood there and listened.

"Okay," said the man with the lisp. "Jimmy! Matt said we had to check on them! Not raid thier fucking fridge!" he scolded.

"But Zack," the man known as Jimmy whined. "I'm so hungry." I then heard the sound of the fridge being closed. "Hateful ass."

It then went silent. I waited to hear another noise and finally heard footsteps, coming in the direction of the stairs!

Now, I could hear my heartbeat in my ears. I froze for a moment due to fear, but quickly regained myself and ran as quietly as possible to my room. Once there, I locked the door, ran to my bed, and feigned sleep. All the while mentally hoping that I was still dreaming.

I lay there, listening. After a minute, I heard a small click, and my door opening. 'How the hell did they unlock it?' I questioned menatlly.

I heard a small shuffling as though someone was looking around my room. "She's fine," Jimmy said.

"I just had to make sure. Not just for Matt, but for myself," said Zack. "I caught Gabriel's scent so he must know."

Jimmy snorted before saying, "Yeah, and he probably ran off to Marcus like a little bitch." This caused Zack to chuckle.

They then shuffled quietly out of my room. Once I was sure that they were gone, I sat up in my bed. I couldn't go back to sleep, so I lay awake in my bed, waiting for my alarm to go off and signal that it was time for me to go to school.

I wouldn't tell my aunt about this. As far as I'm concerned, they didn't take anything or hurt anyone, so why should I be worried?

Right?
