I literally have no idea what im doin. >It’s in the middle of my city, near a park I'm very familiar with. >I try to think back to my memories, and i can picture a bright day, and working in the stand with a random girl. I not sure if I ever met her, but you know how dreams are, >At the time though, it felt like any other day, except I didn’t work at a hot dog stand, that, and the fact that I could remember earlier in the day, which was a memory that rarely happens in dreams. >I can't really remember the transitions but I said by to the girl and went on my way home. >For some reason it’s really dark. >I turn back to look at the hot dog stand, And it seems to be a warm and inviting beacon of light. >It must be night time or something. >Everything has a dullness to it; it's all just a little gray. >I don’t know what came over me, but I take a route home through the alley ways. >It not even a short cut, but I continue like it’s a just normal or something. >there is a fog that sets in. the air feels cool, wet, just like 5 am on a spring morning. >I don’t know how but i transitioned it to a hoodie. >I can remember clearly seeing my breath as I exhale. That in massive moon in the sky.   >I continue walking through the alleys, looking at the back ends of the buildings besides me. They just keep going up, endlessly. >I see some of the fire escapes on some. and some of those one ton garbage cans. >In the back of my head, I can remember thinking about Haven. I can remember looking at my scenery, thinking about how cool it would be if I was walking through the alleys of a dream.   >The alley ways start twisting and winding, and befor i know it, I find myself lost. >There aren’t any recognizable landmarks, or even a way out of the alleyways. I take mindless turns left and right, still in my head. >It’s in my head. >All of it…right? >Then it hits me. >I feel something isn’t right. maybe missing, or out of place. >I can’t put my finger on it, but that’s what is really screwing with my head. >it’s not the fact that it’s dark, and all i have to see with is the luminescent light from an over sized moon. It’s not the fact that there is a gray haze pouring down from the sky or that it encompass my entire field of views. >I hear footsteps from behind me. >I turn to see some homeless looking drunkard. >He looks at me frantically. I can feel his evil intent. >I notice that he is holding a knife. “Hey man, I Don’t want any- >”FUCK YOU MAN!!” ARE YOU THE DEVIL; THE GHOST! I-I’M GONNA KILL HIM” >It look as if he’s not even looking at me. >He starts babbling to me, telling me to give him my money. >He goes back and forth on what I’d imagne a mugging to be, and some guy that’s not making coherent sentences. >I wish it were a dream so that Haven could teach this guy a thing or two. >It’s insane how i'm feeling right now. >That weird feeling is still there. >It doesn't bother me at all that this guys is insane. It doesn’t bother me that i can see my breath, but I don’t feel the slightest of chill in the air. It doesn’t fucking bother me that. the building tower up about me to no end. >There is just this feeling that is scratch the back of my head, and I yet to undestand it. >I take out my wallet and show it to him. >Before my eyes, the wall behind him starts getting dark...darker and darker. >I take a step back out of reflex. >That blackness on the wall. it’s sents shivers down my spine; I feel frozen. >The man is just screaming, thrusting his knife up and down, as he looks at me, oblivious to the figure taking form. >I KNOW NOW. I know what that feeling is…the feeling thats fucking with me, the one in the back of my head. >It’s fear. Pure. Concentrated. Fear. >The blood drain from me, I literally go numb. unable to think, let alone move or speak. >It’s solidifies into a monster, I can still remen it’s piercing red eyes. Just staring at me. >I see as one if its tentacles form into a spear and instantly is sticking out of the middle of the mans chest. >Blood gushes out everywhere as the guy tries to turn around. >He brings up his knife while he screams, >His arms just falls off as a tentacle pass right through it, spraying blood everywhere. >I just watch unable to do anything. I just stumble backwards and up against the building wall. >I start calling for Haven in my head, asking her to save my life. >The man is raise straight up on the air, gasping and gurgling on his own blood. >The mother forms a mouth. Its bloody and full of black spikes. >The man flails his arms and legs, but it’s no use, the mothers starts devouring him. >I can hear the shrieks and cries echo in the silence. >I’m scared to death, and soon I’ll be just like that man...I’ll be gone and forgotten just like I never existed. >It Starts coming for me, and I dig my feet into the ground trying to push the building wall behind me.   >I Can see the tentacle coming closer, then solidifying into sharp spear. >It’s coming closer! Those piercing red eyes, I do the last thing I can think of. I scream. “HELP ME HAVEN!!!!!” >The spear of darkness flies into my chest, and I squeeze my eyes shut. >”Always getting yourself into trouble, huh?” >That voice, it’s her! >I open my eyes to see a grotesque sight. the spear of darkness is in my chest but it doesn't hurt, not even the slightest bit. >Darkness forms all around me. I can feel it in each and every pore. >Everything turns black, but I don’t feel that fear anymore, I’m not even scared. >The darkness exits my body and I can see again. >The tentacle isn’t in my chest anymore. >There standing in front of me is Haven! >The same as usual, with that heart warming smile and her noticeable sleep deprived eyes. >’Don’t worry squishy. I’ll take care of this nightmare. >After she says that, she forms into a dark mass just like the monster in front of her, only, her eyes are an intense glowing blue. >It’s almost scary, if I didn’t know better, I’d think she as a monster. >The shadow in front of her back into the building and starts reverting into nothingness. >As soon as it all happens, it’s all over, and Haven turns back into her normal pony self. >”That right run! I’ll be waiting. >She turns to me and give me a comforting smile. >I am overwhelmed with my emotions, I’m about to cry. >she rolls her eyes and give me playful smile. >She then awkwardly stand up on her back hooves, with her front hooves open wide. >I run up to her, embrace her, picking her up and twirling around. >She hugs me back and says, “It’s been a while, I’m sorry I havent seen you.” “I don’t care! you’re here right now! thats all that matters.” >I set her down, still hugging her tight. >”No, I sorry, I truly am.” >I let go as I kneel on the ground and look back at her. >Haven looks as it she’s going to cry. >it’s so out of character. Havens always the one to comfort me, no matter what. She’s always smiling a protecting me. >I wipe the tears away from her eyes. “Don’t cry, I can't bare to see it.”
