Dreams Part 1
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The footsteps following me sounded closer. I ran through the empty corridors of the hospital, my heart pounding with terror.
I turned a corner and stopped short. I had reached a dead end.As I turned around,I saw a man.And he was walking toward me with a bloody knife.

"Ahhh!"I screamed.My older brother came rushing into my room "Here,you stranger!Take that!"he yelled waving a bat to ward off any strangers in here.Then my mom came into my room."Jason!Stop that"she said waving her hand.Jason dropped the bat,ashamed.My mom sat on the edge of my bed."Honey,you okay?You've been waking everyday with screams"my mom asked looking at me worriedly.I sighed."Nothing mom.Really"My mom stood up."Ok.Time for school"she said with one last look and walked out of the door.My brother,Jason shook his lack hair and walked out,too.I let out a sigh.Those dreams come every night.They always end up with me screaming my head off.I had always been a quiet girl.My short caramel hair reached up to my shoulders.My blue eyes stood aside from my bro's which were brown.But how did I even get into the hospital in the first place in the dream,I wondered.Nevermind.I have to go to school.

Maya walked next to me."Why so quiet?"she joked."I don't know"I mumbled.Maya let out a huge sigh.In truth is was dramatic."C'mon.Let's run!"Maya said pointing her finger at the field.Just then the coach ran up to us."Josephine?Jose?"The coach yelled.I rolled my eyes."Here,here"I answered.The coach looked at me and a sudden chill went up my spine.Because the coach's eyes showed fear and sorrow.

"WHAT!NO.NO.NO!!!!!"I literally screamed the heck of my head when the coach told me the problem.Every student turned toward me,but I didn't care."NO.STOP.THIS IS A DREAM.YOU ARE SUCH A LIAR AND CHILD ABUSER!"(Ok the last part I said it to myself.Just letting you know)The coach trembled.I seriously wanted to punch this guy in the face.Instead,I did much,much worse.
I fainted.

"Uh?Where am I?"I stammered when I woke up.My mom kneeled over me."Honey,you ok?"But I didn't even pay attention to her.Instead,I noticed four new gray hairs on her head.Then I remembered."Mom?How is Jason?"My mom bit her lip."Josephine.Your brother...is still unconscious"she said.I wailed silently."Can we see him?"I asked."Well It's late.."
"WHAT?But..It was day when I ..umm..fainted?"I asked surprised."You fainted for a long time"my mom said,smiling faintly."But please?"I asked."Ok"my mom said,after thinking.I smiled.

I raised my hand to my mouth in horror.The hospital looked exactly like the hospital in my dream.My mom noticed this."Sweetie,you okay?"she asked.I nodded."Come on"she said and led the way.I followed,looking at the walls,the floor and the poster.It seemed so like the dream that I pinched myself to make sure.We reached Jason's hospital room.Jason was lying on a bed,eyes closed.I bit my lip and averted my my eyes from my brother."I'll leave you to be alone with your brother"she said and left the room.I kneeled over my brother and started crying.I cried and cried until half if the bed was covered with tears and snot.Just then an alarm sounded and everything went dark.Then the emergency light went on.The hospital went red.I looked up and whispered,"Mom?Where are you?"When nobody answered,I looked out the hallway.Nobody was there."Mom?"Scared feeling burst out of me.I ventured farther into the hallway.After a few minutes of silence and walking,I decided to turn back.But then I figured out the worst thing imaginable.
I was lost.
In the hallway.
Like in my dream.
Was it my imagination or did I hear footsteps?No.I did hear footsteps.Then I made my best move ever since I woke up.
I ran.
