The Nightmare

The Clock struck ten.

        Dafny looked up from the book of horror stories she was reading. It was still raining hard and flashes of lightning glowing hard from the windows. Suddenly there was a dark profile of a man on the window pane. Dafny went to look through the window and found the dark figure missing. She went back to her horror story book but as soon as she started reading it she saw the dark figure again. She went outside to have a look and saw a man wearing black jeans and shirt going on the road. She followed and reached in front of a broken house and found that the man has disappeared. Dafny went inside the house to check for the man and found that the house was fully ruined. She went inside to investigate and again saw the man passing through the windows of the house. She went behind the man and reached a graveyard which was on the other side of the house. Dafny became extremely scared and started crying. Then a thin man came and patted her head and gave her chocolates. It was the same man who was outside the window of her house. She immediately recognized him and asked him what he was doing outside her house. The man said that his name was Sam and he lived there. Dafny became terrified and asked him "You live here! In the graveyard!!" Sam said "No the house behind it and I had gone to meet a friend outside your house." Dafny said "Oh ! I see. So how should I get back to my house?"

I will take you to your house but first lets have some tea first said Sam. Dafny suddenly realized that it was happening the same with her as it was written in the book. She also realized that the man who was there was actually a Dracula.

It was nearly midnight and Dafny started trying her best to leave the house but to her horror the Dracula started following her. She ran and ran and ran but lastly the Dracula managed to get her. He pierced his sharp teeth into the body and Dafny gave a loud scream. And then everything went blank. She got up with a shock and realized that she was actually on her Bed. It was just a dream. She realized that she had fallen asleep reading the book and she was so deeply indulged in the book that it had become her nightmare. Giving just a slight grin she went back to sleep..
