The scene unraveling was oddly familiar, similar to the dream I had last night. This wasn't supposed to bother me because I was a mental case already, majority of the things I dreamt about came true, but this was bothering me because the end of my dream last night wasn't good and I was just about to sleep.
The flickering of the lights didn't end and I was certain a blackout was coming soon, just as it was in the dream. I grabbed my phone from the bedstand and hid under my duvet, I was in the same place I was in the dream- in my room under room arrest, could today get any worse?
It didn't take long for the the whole room to go dark, I heard faint taps on my window, the same as from the vision last night, it took me all my will not to scream. Hallucination or not, tonight wasn't going to end well. The taps turned to screeching sound of nails against the window and that was when it occurred to me.. I didn't lock the windows from inside the room and there wasn't any burglary proof, worst of all mum had me locked in my room.
I watched the window closely as the hideous monster creaked the window open, I wished at the moment mum would come check up on me but from the dream she wasn't coming anytime soon.
With every creak my heart sank further into my stomach and bile rose in my throat. I held my breath, on the verge of passing out.
It crawled into my room and stood at it's full length, it's head touching the ceiling. Sharp long nails, tail thick with spike like hair and it's big wolf head were the only features I could make out.
Exactly like it did in the dream it began sniffling, letting out low deep growls. It head turned in the direction opposite where I lay as it growled again this time louder.
I could make it it's teeth's from it's side profile, it's mouth could barely contain the sharp teeth.
My heart raced faster as it turned my attention towards me, it's pounding loud in my ears as the beast took a step forward.
The house shook and I trembled with terror as I tilted it's head to the side a bit as if to stare at me.
The key outside my room door clicked twice, mum had come to check up on me like in the vision. I felt sick instantly, I was going to be the reason for her death.
The beast turned it's attention towards the door and took another step forward. I was torn between screaming at mum to run and letting the beast attack me or keeping quiet and let it have mum for dinner.
"Honey.." she stopped in her tracks as she opened the door with a torchlight in her hand.
Her face was mortified as she beheld the animal, I got to see what was in my room. It had the head of a wolf, it's upper body was a lion and it's lower a human. It snarled.
Within a few seconds it launched at mum, she slammed the door before it could get to her and it turned its attention to me.
I made a beeline for the window and jumping through, for the first time in my life I was actually grateful that I had no burglary proof.
I landed hard on my butt but immediately got up, the adrenaline made the pain feel like a light poke at my back. Impact of the fall made running more difficult.
My leg almost gave way as I heard the thing gain up on me. I was out of breath when a car rolled down my side driving at my place and mum beckoning for me to come in.
In a swift movement I flung myself into the car, mum fired the engine and drove at full speed.
The streets were oddly quiet and soon the sound of the beast faded away, none of us dared look back to find out what had happened.
We drove into a deserted area full of trees, shrubs and grasses. Mu grabbed me by my hand and pulled me further into the bush.
"Did you see this in your dream?" "Not this running away part." I pointed out. We were supposed to die at my house but we were here, maybe there's a chance to live.
Twigs snapped from a distance causing us to turn in it's direction. The moon light was the dimmest, making it impossible to make out who it was.
The sounds got closer and my heart pounded even faster, the next thing I knew was mum's head detached from her body. I looked at my beheaded mother terrified and pressed my hand against my mouth as I tried not to scream.
Tears stung at my eyes as I searched around frantically for who was responsible and saw a lean figure by a tree.
I gasped as the person moved closer and proceeded to run. Unfortunately I landed with a thud on the thick wet grass as I missed my footing after three steps.
I didn't hesitate to get up and run again but I got pinned to the floor, the bushes were wrapped around my legs and continuously pulled me down. I tried to yank myself free but their grips tightened.
With fear and terror I turned to look at the man was now after my life as well, he grabbed me by my hair and morphed into the animal that came in from my window and growled even louder.
My head was spinning as I tried to process the fact that my end was coming too soon but everything happened to fast. Growl.. intense pain.. black out.

I woke up panting trying to catch my breath, I felt a light touch on my arm and I jumped away from the bed. I turns out it was mum. My heart lit with gladness, she was okay.
"You were screaming darling." I run my hand through my hair that had now taken the form of a birds nest and tried to even my breath out. I still wasn't breathing fine.
"I had an awful dream mother." She nods and looks at me with tears in her eyes, piting my current condition. I tear up too.
"Honey we should probably go to the mental asylum." I shoot her dagger looks and she sighed, just then the lights began to flicker and went out.
