Chapter 1

She could hear the 'crunch,crunch' of leaves behind her as she ran.
Running from something that she knew she was afriad of seeing, her
heart was beating faster and faster with every step she took.She didn't
want to turn around, afriad of seeing something she didn't want to
see.

She couldn't help it. She glanced around and saw her boyfrind Terry
running behind her. She stopped uncertain. "Why am I trying to get AWAY
from him?He my boyfrind!"she thought silently to herself. Cautiously
she turned around again but saw a glint of silver in his hand."A
knife", she said out loud. She couldn't move, she was paralyzed. So
scared. So scared. He came right upon her, stopped and stooped
down.

"W-w-what...", she couldn't get the rest of her words out of her mouth.
She was so scared. He straightened, catching his breath silently now,
without the huffing and puffing of his breathing. What she saw made her
voice get trapped in her throat and she squeeked.

His eyes were glowing red. She hurridly glanced downward and looked at
the knife bravely. She took 1 step back and then unexpectedly he
pounced on her.

Screaming, Jessica woke up. A nightmare. A truly horrible nightmare.
Why was she having these weird dreams? She trembled, remebering bit's
and peice's of the nightmare. Troubled, she glanced at the clock. Time
to wake up for school anyways. Her alarm was about to go off. She
raised wearily from her bed and braced her self for the loud sound
about to come from the clock."BeeP!"
She pressed 'Sleep' on the second one.

Getting dressed forlornly she thought about Terry. Terry and the
nightmare. She decided to discard the thoughts about to lurk through
her head, and instead ran down stairs and grabbed a Pop Tart and ran
for the Bus Stop.
