words that were ringing like a bell in her ears:
“You might see a nightmare princess.” And Brook realized how right her mother was. Yet, she never believed her words until it happened to her.
It was an ordinary night at the beginning, Brook was hungry as usual and it was just a few minutes before she was about to go to bed. Therefore, she made herself a jam sandwich and had a big glass of hot chocolate. And right after eating and drinking, she went right to her bed. And she drifted off soon into a troubled sleep she never had experienced before. It was like a trip to hell for her, she would rather call it, a hell’s night. Brook was always scared to sleep all alone, and that was why she would sleep with her young brother Dale in the same bed, but she didn’t know that Dale would accompany her into every nightmare she used to see. Every night was a new terrific trip except that the setting would change. And the night that preceded Easter was the worst. Brook dreamt that a group of headless people looking for her and her brother. She wasn’t sure why they were chasing them for her. Brook was hiding everywhere from them with her brother but the dolls of rabbits would talk and yell at her and their eyes were lit in red as if they were lamps, and Brook would grab her brother’s hand and run away but the group of headless people would follow her faster and faster, however, the scariest moment Brook experienced with her brother was when her legs froze and she couldn’t step forward any longer as if she was paralysed. The whole place was like a horror or creepy movie in which Brook and her brother were the victims. And when those scary people would find out her hiding place, Brook would, fortunately, wake up to find that she was rather inside her room with her brother figuring out that she had a nightmare.
She would find herself sleeping on the floor, and the first thing she would do was to check on her brother and see if he was asleep in his bed. She would push herself up from the ground and face the door. She would close her eyes for a second trying to wipe all those nightmares, then she took a deep breath, opened her eyes again, and after that she would go back to her bed but she would stop all of a sudden when she would hear the crackling of the door. It seemed as if someone was right in front of it trying to open it up pulling the door knob down as hard as possible. Brook was sure that someone was standing right outside trying grudgingly to open up that door. There was a shadow that could be seen underneath the door, the lights of the hallway were lit while Brook was still trying to figure out who wanted to sneak stroll into her room like thieves in the middle of the night. Everything was sinking in deep silence and Brook was hoping that, whoever was standing outside her room, he would go soon but she didn’t expect her young brother would wake up at that late hour.
“Brook, I’m thirsty, I want water; could you bring me some?” Dale asked.
Brook was surprised, there was nothing she could say to tell her brother to keep quiet so she covered his mouth trying to prevent him from talking. But he was just eleven years old, and when she did that, he started to panic and scream then he started to cry while Brook couldn’t even control the situation.
But as soon as Dale’s screams could be heard, the shadow disappeared all of a sudden as if it never existed. And only then could Brook breath with a deep sigh trying to calm her brother down at the same time because she realized how much she scared him. Brook went out to the kitchen to bring her brother a cup of water and on her way, she tried to see what the time was, the house was totally and even scarily quiet like a graveyard. The silence was strange so Brook rushed down to the kitchen. There was no single sound coming from the working huge fridge, or the ticking clock she used to hear; nothing at all. Brook opened up the tap and
