He slowly came to his senses.

'I'm... I'm not dead?'

'How is it possible?'

'I-I could've sworn, that...'

He opened his eyes to the sight of the famillar room, with the exact same details, as if it was all a dream.

The sounds from before became clearer, the dull footsteps from beyond that door.

He narrowed his eyes at the door, it was slowly being pulled back.

The monster stepped into the room, looking directly at him with it's hungry eyes.

"W-Wait!" He quickly scrambled to speak out words just after he start to feel the same pain again.

"Stop! Please!" He pleaded to it as it grinned at his miserable cries, intense pain traveled through his body in an instant, and he knew, at that moment.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

He died.

He let out a scream of pain and horror, his hands desperately reaching into the air, he paused, and looked at his surroundings. 'Phew, it was just a nightmare.' He sighed in relief, "Uncle! Uncle! Are you okay? Why did scream?" His face twitched at the word, he grinned evilly and petted her hair mercilessly.

"Ow! Hey! Big brother! I'm sorry! I won't call you uncle again!" She cried out with regret in her tone, he felt a warm feeling in his heart and stopped messing her hair with a reluctant face. She glared at him in annoyance, "What's with that look on your face?!" He smiled cheekily, "Nothing, nothing." She looked at him with a 'I know what you're thinking of' look and made a face, "Hmph!"

He smiled with a helpless look on his face and apologised, "Sorry, sorry, I promise not to mess with your hair again." She looked at him and glared, "Really? You promise?" He reassured her, "Yes, really, I promise." She grinned as if she came up with a good plan, "Then if you break your promise I'll mess up your hair!" He genuinely smiled at her pure and childish punishment, "Sure, whatever you say."

As they were talking with each other on the hallway, faraway, a pair of blood-red eyes stared at the two of them with longing, saliva dripped down it's mouth, melting the floor with a sharp hiss. It patiently waited for it's meal to deliver themselves straight to itself.
