I wiped the blood away from my eyes. The animal in front of me was huge, it's long hair was stained with blood and its eyes never left the bleeding gash on my forehead.
The animal began to get closer, it snarls and bares its sharp teeth. It lunged at me.

I woke with a start and screamed, I grabbed the blankets and balled the soft cloth in my hands. I was breathing hard, I placed my hand on my chest and took a deep breath. My heart didn't want to slow down. I sat up and swung my lags over the side of the bed and pull the blankets away. When my feet touch the cold hardwood floor a shiver runs through my body. I put my arms around my shoulders and try to make myself a bit warmer. I walk to my bedroom door and opened it. It was still dark outside, almost no light came from the windows. I stepped into the dark hallway, my feet treading lightly as I made my way to the kitchen.
