Midnight Nightmare

A report of multiple suicides has been occuring in the last month. Over 10 people committed suicide in the last month. All are reported to have killed themselves the same way. Gunshot to the head. A group of investigators where victim to these events. After leaving the scene after a investigation all investigators reported having "horrid nightmares". They claimed these nightmares where about their "worst fears or scariest moments in their lives". People in the town refuse to go anywhere near the areas where the suicides occured. Some said that it was a "curse". Some said it was a "disease that made you go insane".

Penny Waters has been looking into the suicides, without getting to close just to be safe. Penny was a very scientific person. Not believing in ghosts,demons,monsters, or curses. Her scientific mind was telling her to go to the scene and investigate. Telling her that nothing was going to happen and she would be fine.

She grabbed her gear, putting it into a tan duffle bag. She brushed some dust off her green jacket and walked out the door slamming it behind her. Carelessly throwing the bag into the back of her silver car, she climbed into the drivers seat and drove off.

Arriving at the scene she unloaded her gear and walked toward the scene where the first 3 victims had killed theselves. It was eerie. They sky was gray and about to storm, while blood stains could still be seen. Penny shuddered seeing the crimson stains on the floor. She examined everything she could. Taking pictures and samples for DNA. She found nothing. It looked like regular suicide that a troubled teenager might comit. She walked back to her car. Driving home she felt a uneasy feeling. But no one was around. It was deserted. No one could have followed her without her seeing. She arrived home at nightfall. She was exhausted. Crawling into her bed she slowly drifted to sleep. When she awoke it wasn't morning and she wasn't in her bed. She was in a forst, a very dark forest. The trees had no leaved and had dark bark. The grass though soft, was black. A small stream of gray water rushed beside her. Then she saw someone on the other side of the stream. It was a young girl no older then 16. She was dressed in a black and gray hoodie, the hood itself had bunny ears. She had a hat with button eyes and a "taped" mouth on the hate. It was also gray and black. A red leather skirt and white leggings with suspender-pant covers and red shoes. She looked quite youthful. But she had a creepy and eerie feeling to her. Her hair was in short pigtails...but it was white. She had red eyes that seemed to glow. The girl giggled tilting her head like a confused puppy. The girl walked off. Confused Penny followed "Wait up!" Penny yelled after the girl. Penny followed her into a clearing. But the girl was not their. It was like she had disappeared. She shouldn't have followed the girl. Their she saw her family including herself getting brutally murdered. One of her worst fears. Penny woke up in her bed sweating and on the verge of tears. She looked at the soft red glow of the alarm clock. Midnight. She rubbed her hands down her face and looked around. She couldn't sleep for the rest of the night, so she just watched t.v.

This continued for about a week. As each nightmare happened her reaction got worse. When she couldn't sleep she wouldn't watch t.v. She would pace back and fourth in her room mumbling and talking to herself. One night she experienced all her fears, all her pain, in one nightmare. She woke up. Midnight. She couldn't take it anymore. Running downstairs she unzipped her duffle bag. Frantically moving items out of the way until she found it. She held up a gun. She smiled knowing this was her only escape. She brought the end of the gun up to the side of her head. Tears rolled down her cheek...and she pulled the trigger.

Just seconds after Penny's suicide and dark figure walked out of the dark of the room into the light. It was a young girl. With white hair and red eyes. She looked at the gun then at Penny's unmoving corpse. She looked at her feet as Penny's blood pooled around them. She looked back at Penny's body. She tilted her head and giggled. In eerily sweet echo-y voice she said "Aw, whats the matter? Have a nightmare?"
