Eve felt extreme anxiety and fear. She now realized she was being chased. Eve retraced her steps and ran as fast as she could, barely hearing the faint footsteps behind her.

Eve had to find a way to escape. She turned left and pushed open a door to enter another room, similar to the large room before it. To her left, she spotted a ventilation shaft suitable for her small size. She hurried towards it and quickly bent down to enter the opening.

After a moment, Eve heard the footsteps of the pursuers approaching the room, which intensified her fear greatly. She couldn't control herself; breathing became difficult, and her instinct was to cover her mouth to avoid making any sound.

"I wonder, what is chasing me? I need to hide," she thought to herself.

Eve glanced around and froze in place from the sheer horror of the creatures before her. They were completely grotesque monsters, their dark eyes hinting at a desire to inflict pain. Their skin resembled melting wax, or rather, it hung loosely as if someone had forcefully stretched it. They had slightly yellowish dual-toned skin. One was shorter, the other taller , they are wearing shabby clothes , with burgundy - colored hats . Their large hands were capable of grasping someone her size.

The tall monster exclaimed loudly, "How do we catch her? ... There are several cracks and crevices she could slip through."

"You fool! Lower your voice ... It's a bad habit of yours," scolded the shorter monster.

"Sorry ... Speaking of which, how will we catch her when we don't even know what she looks like?" asked the taller one, turning angrily to the questioner.

"You clearly weren't listening. She's a girl with long brown hair covering her left eye, wearing a short brown skirt with a white blouse... I'll show you when I see her. Let's search the room," replied the other monster.

Eve was astonished by the monsters' conversation, realizing they knew details about her attire.

"My clothes! They've changed! How did they know what I was wearing?... I need to retreat quickly," Eve thought.

Eve stepped back and decided to continue crawling through the shaft, wondering, "How did my clothes change? I didn't notice this initially. I was wearing my nightwear. Who could have informed them?"

Eve pondered this as she crawled for a long time until she reached a junction. To the right, she could see clearly; the distance wasn't short. To the left, it was pitch dark.

Eve chose to go right, where the exit seemed closer. Upon reaching it, she tried to descend but fell. Though the distance was high, the pain was minimal.

Eve lifted her head to look ahead and found herself in a room similar to the first, filled with pictures: distorted buildings, areas, children, and monsters. Eve shuddered at the sight of the monsters nearby, particularly noticing that beside the monsters were pictures of children. This sparked a thought that perhaps these were children she had seen before but had forgotten.

"These children look familiar... Ah, this pain, my head... I need to get out of here," Eve muttered, holding her head with tears streaming down her face. She stood up and rushed towards the door, pushing it forcefully to open it, causing a loud bang as it hit the wall.

Every monster in the place turned towards the source of the sound and hurried towards it.

"What... what have I done," Eve said with regret and firmness.

Eve turned to her right and saw the two monsters that had been chasing her, fear and regret clearly visible on her face.

******

"Come on, let's catch her."

"No need to shout."

*****

Eve turned towards the other direction and started running.

Relieved that she was faster than these two monsters, Eve was surprised when the shorter monster managed to extend his right hand. He tried to catch Eve, but she jumped and landed on his arm. She then advanced to jump again on his head and then landed on the ground. However, she hit his right eye with her foot and then jumped.

But the taller monster caught her. And it was a shorter monster reaction that Eve slapped, accidentally slamming her friend. He slipped and fell to the ground and fled.

******

Eve continued her path until she reached a crossroads.

She looked to her right and saw two other monsters searching inside the rooms. To her left, a long corridor stretched out. In front of her was a door similar to the one she encountered before.

"Oh... it's back," Eve muttered nervously as she approached the door. Gathering her courage, she jumped to grasp its handle. As she let go, it opened, revealing a room almost identical to the previous one but set up as a bedroom. A bed was on the right, a wardrobe on the left, and a desk in front of her.

"All these rooms are nearly identical... why?" Eve wondered aloud.

Eve cautiously approached the bed and jumped up to lie on it, staring up at the ceiling.

"I'm in... my bedroom? Is this my room?" Eve exclaimed, surprised.

She jumped off the bed to inspect the furnishings. To her amazement, all her clothes and belongings were here. It dawned on Eve that she had shrunk in size, and the monsters were not gigantic but proportionate to her. Each room resembled her own almost exactly.

Eve began to feel around herself and noticed a strange chain around her neck, purple in color. Something else caught her attention on her chest. Lowering her head to see, Eve discovered that the pendant she wore bore an eye emblem.

"What's around my neck?" she said, shocked.

Eve tried to remove the necklace but couldn't, finding it odd that she hadn't noticed it until now.

Suddenly, Eve heard a noise behind her. She slowly turned her head and saw several monsters watching her. Unable to control herself, Eve ran, sliding under one of them, then quickly stood up and started running.

"I have to run faster... I can't believe I just pulled off that move," she thought to herself.

The grotesque monsters began to chase Eve, each using their long arms to try and grab her. Eve started leaping, dodging, and evading the monsters' grasps. She noticed that the monsters were almost identical and possessed similar abilities.

"This works in my favor," she noted.

Looking back, Eve realized their numbers had increased. Suddenly, she collided with something in front of her, her exhaustion overcoming her as she couldn't get up. She couldn't see well who or what she had collided with, but it was the same monster she had seen in the painting in the starting room.

"Stay away... please," Eve pleaded, exhausted.

The monster extended its hand to her calmly.

Eve felt a strange sensation; this monster in front of her did not attack. The other monsters halted upon seeing this. She reached her hand towards it, and it gently grasped hers.

"If you really want to help me... tell me," she said.

*******

"Who are you? ... Hello!"

She woke up frightened from her sleep.

She turned to find her parents holding her carefully.

"What's going on?"

"It's fortunate you woke up. Your father and I found you screaming and thrashing in your bed, so we rushed in and held you so you wouldn't fall."

"Are you okay?" her father asked, tense.

"I'm not... ah, my head, stay away from me... don't come closer."

Eve screamed in pain, repeating the same words.

Her father shouted, "Quick, get the pills, they're on the table."

"Here you go."

"Take the medicine, Eve."

Eve felt relief after taking the medicine.

"The headache has lessened. Don't worry, you can go."

"If you need anything, don't hesitate," her father said calmly.

"Goodnight," her mother said.

The parents left the room, and Eve's mind remained scattered by what had happened in the nightmare, wondering to herself, "What was that place I was in? And who was the person I collided with? I can't remember his face completely, but I felt familiar with him."

Eve went back to sleep, unaware that her parents had been watching her through the door and had closed it after she slept.

*******

"Bill, I'm worried about Eve. A whole week she's been suffering from these nightmares... I fear she might experience what happened to her brother," Maria said, her voice filled with tension and panic.

Bill reassured his wife, saying, "Don't worry, Maria. Eve will be fine... We'll take her to the psychologist tomorrow. He'll tell us about her condition... Don't be afraid."

"I hope what you're saying is true because what happened to her brother... It was worse than you can imagine."

And thus began Eve's story with these disturbing nightmares. Eve, the young girl, was about to enter a new phase in her life.
