Dream
I had a dream my sister’s boyfriend , Derrick, had a church inside of his apartment complex. You had to pass it to leave his building. Me, and my nephews, Erik, and Elias, had spent the night with him and my sister, Amber. Before bed, Erik had went missing. Considering he had a history of running away, and being a curious kid, we figured that he had explored the place in his free time and must’ve gotten lost. So, me, Elias, Amber, and Derrick decided to check the church to see if he had been there. Halfway into the church, Elias said he didn’t want to look for him, because it started to bore him. He had been skeptical about the whole thing because Erik tends to play pranks. He then turned around, and skipped off. I chased after him up until we got to this gigantic door which led to the apartments. It had closed on us. Then, I realized that we’re all in big trouble. Something was off about this place. To begin with, it wasn’t an ordinary Church. It was abandoned in 1908. Yet it remained open to the public because it was a tourists attraction. The history behind it was bizarre, a posessed nun who had been in the building took her own life due to depression, and some say her spirit remains uneasy, and vindictive. Leeching onto humans, and sucking the life out of them to live the one she never had. I took Elias’s hand and ran towards Derrick and Amber, but something grabbed Elias. I don’t know what it was, but I couldn’t hold onto him much longer. I was alone, and scared. I kept running, even faster than before. I knew Amber and Derrick were in danger. But an instinct kicked in, I didn’t know exactly what. But, I knew that I too would be in the same position if I helped them. I ran out of the nearest exit in the church because there was more than one. I ran back to the apartment and slept the night. I couldn’t believe what happened, but it must’ve just been a bad dream. When I woke up in the morning, nobody was in the house. It was silent. I checked Amber’s location, to see if she had taken the boys to the store, or a local park. But, her location icon was blinking in the church, and disappeared. I rubbed my eyes, this can’t be. Then I received a text message from her, but surprisingly, it wasn’t blue. It was in black. “Time to repeat the cycle.” and all of the memories had flooded back to me about church. They were dead. They’re gone. Then I thought the nun, I did hear humming and singing in the church beforehand. But way before Erik went missing. It was her. I know it was.
