The red eyes of a nightmare.

(I know this may be a bit confusing. If you have any questions, please ask me. And feel free to critique - I won't take it badly. I hope that you'll enjoy my story.)

I woke up to the feeling of warmth.

“Hum!” I turned to bring myself closer to Bobby’s body. Cuddling with him. I lift my face to receive the kiss I knew he would give me. Nothing came. I open my eyes to see if he was awake. He was, except that it was not Bobby. It was a man. He was very handsome, but was missing the soft expression that Bobby had.

No, it wasn’t Bobby, but how could that be? I somehow remember being with Bobby that night. He had said that he loved me. Then I had fallen asleep in his arm.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Only then I dare to open them again. The man was still there. He was looking at me. He eyes were red shining brightly.

I screamed, but no sound came. Then I try to work myself free of his arm, but the more I move, the more his arm closed around me. All my effort was in vain; I was still press against his warm chest.

“Shhh!” He said. His voice was smoothing and gentle, somehow familiar.

“It ok baby, it’s me.”

That when I recognize his voice. I could have recognized his voice anywhere.

“Bobby?” I asked. My own voice sounded weak to my ear.

“Yes, it’s me. Everything’s fine.” He voice was so soft, so smoothing. My head was spinning I had a hard time concentrating. I close my eyes.

“ That’s my girl.” He added very softly. He said it over and over like a song. I was falling asleep. But something was bothering me. Was it really Bobby? It sounded like Bobby. But he looked so different. It’s ok, it doesn’t matter, a small voice in my head say just sleep. But I had to know. So I murmur

“You look so different. How come you look so different?”

“Don’t worry about it baby. It’s me. You believe me right?” He voice was putting me to sleep. It was so lovely. I still answer him a weak yes.

“I’m so sleepy” I add a moment after. He finger was tracing my face slowly again and again.

“Yes, you sleep.” He murmured in my ear. “Sleep.”

I stop to thing at that moment and let myself drift into sleep. But something deep inside me told me to look up. I didn’t want to. I was so comfortable. But I had to look. With a great effort I open my eyes.

The first thing I notice was that two red eyes were staring at my wildly and somehow surprise. The second thing saw that now that I was awake, I could feel something warm and wet was sliding down on my neck. Third thing was that the man in front of me had fangs. A drop of blood -my blood! - fell from the fang on my face.

I close my eyes shut and scream. This couldn’t be Bobby. How could she have thought it was? He looks nothing like the warm and happy Bobby. I screamed again and yelled.

“BOBBY!”

Something shook me

“Wake up, wake up. Sam for goodness sake, wake up!”

It was Bobby voice. His real voice not the one she had heard just a moment ago, when it had been smooth and dreamy like. It must have been a dream.

“ I had a terrible dream,” I murmur to Bobby. I could hear Bobby chuckle quietly.

“ I would say you were screaming bloody murder like a maniac!”

“It was horrible, they was the vampire and…”

“Shhh! It’s over now I’m here.” He pulled me close to him in a protective and possessive way. Somehow it reminded me of my earlier dream. I look up at Bobby face.

“ I’m glad…” I stopped in mid sentence. For my eyes had met his! And they were as red as red can be. He laugh, I could see fangs in mouth.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh” was the only sound I was able to say.

I kick and push trying to get free. But I could hear only his chuckle. I hit something hard.

I woke up to see myself on the floor next to my bed. Reality slowly came back to me. Bobby was not here. And he didn’t even know I liked him.

I wonder how come my mom was not here yet; she must have heard me scream. Then I remembered that I was alone in the house. My mom and her new husband had gone on their honeymoon, and left me here alone, in the big house in the middle of the woods.

“Stupid nightmare”, I said to myself. I got up. And was about to lie down on my bed, when I saw two bright eyes out of my window…
