Chapter one : Dreams

My highschool life was miserable. Being a transfer student I had alot of fun in the beginning until I was catfished by one of the guys from my grade and the texts and my nudes went viral all over the school campus.

My life was a living hell. I was bullied by my classmates who were once my best friends. Eventualy,I became a loner. But one day, I received an anonymous invitation to the party at Jason's house. Jason was a star football player of my school.

I was so very excited because I was finally invited to a party after a very long time. I got dressed and on my way to his house I thought that I'd finally make new friends and leave my past behind and get back to my normal highschool life. I reached his place and I knocked on his door. Jason opened the door and stared at me for like ten seconds straight. " I'm here for the party", I told him by breaking the awkward silence between us."What party?",he asked. I told him that I received an anonymous invitation that you were hosting a party. "I am not hosting a party and even if I did I wouldn't invite you",he replied.

"Oh I'm sorry.Someone must've played a prank on me again.Sorry to bother you", I apologised and turned around to leave when I heard a familiar voice calling out my name. I turned around to see and it was Michael. Michael was the member of the football team and he always bullied me. I hated him to death. "Look who's here",said Michael. I gave him an awkward smile. "Come on in",he told me."No thank you.I was just leaving", I replied. "It's alright.Just come inside and lets have some beer",he said and grabbed my arm and dragged me in. "Why are you here anyways?",asked Michael. Then I explained him the entire story and he burst out in laughter."You really think we would invite you if we hosted a party?", he said. We heard a knock on the door and when Jason opened the door it was Jordan and Chris. They were my classmates and Jason's best friends.

"What is he doing here?",Chris asked. Michael told him about how I got here. They all laughed at me. "You were catfished by one of clasmates right?",asked Jordan sipping his beer." Yes ", I replied with an embarrased face. "Do you have any idea who was it?", Jordan asked."No, I have no idea", I replied. "It was me and Chris", Jordan replied.

I was so startled when I heard him saying that. Out of extreme anger I threw a fist at him but he dodged and punched me in my stomach." You ruined my life....I lost my friends, nobody bothered talking to me. Why did you do that?What did I even do to you?", I asked him. "It was just for fun. No hard feelings bro",he replied laughing out loud.

"I'm leaving" and walked towards the door. "Where are you going? The fun has just begun", said Chris and he grabbed my hand.

While I tried to free my hand the beer can fell over his jeans and he was all wet due to that. " I'm sorry..That was an accident...", I apologised. He squeezed my wrist and knocked me on the floor. They surrounded me and poured their drinks all over me and then Jason pulled out his phone to shoot. Michael tried to pull off my jeans but I struggled to lose his grip. "If you tell anybody about this then we'll make sure that the entire school sees your undies", said Jason.

I gathered all the strength I had and left his place all wet and stinking beer. I slowly sneaked into my house through the back door and went to my room without my parents noticing me. I took a shower and treated my wounds. I sat on my bed crying all night long. I took a leave from school for few days and stayed home because I wasn't ready to face them. I was scared to death.

One day when I was asleep I saw a dark figure in my sleep."You look in pain", it asked me."Yes,but how do you know that?", I questioned it. " I can see through you. All the pain and suffering you've been through . Do you seek revenge?",it asked. "Yes I do, I want them to pay for all the trouble they have caused me", I replied.

I woke up drenched in sweat. Even though it was a dream it felt so real. Later that night while I was a sleep I had a dream and I saw Jason was found dead in his pool in the middle of the night.

When I woke up the next day my mum and dad came to my room."There's something we would like to tell you",said my dad. "What is it dad?", I asked him. He told me that Jason was found dead in his pool last night. That sent a chill down my spine. I was startled . I went downstairs and turned on the local news channel . The news reporter said that a boy named Jason was mysteriously murdered in the middle of the night. He was stabbed in his neck before he was thrown into the pool but the murder weapon was missing .

I was so happy deep down that the person who bullied me is dead but it was quite a horror too. Next day at school everyone were discussing about his death but I on the other hand was so happy inside.

A week later I had a dream and I saw the dark figure in my dreams. It asked me to pick my new victim among Chris, Jordan and Michael. I chose Michael because I hated him the most.

And after three days I had a dream. I saw Michael being hung upside down from a tree behind our school. He was begging for his life and the dark figure gauged both his eyes and slit his wrist.

And the next morning it was all over the local news. channel. A boy named Michael was murdered with his eyes gauged out and wrist slit until he bled to death but the murder weapon was missing. This news was like music to my ears. The people who used to bully me were dead except the two. Now I was deciding in my head that who would be my next victim.

The cops had no leads about the murderer and how could they even have leads. It wasn't a human who killed them. It was a mysterious dark figure , something supernatural.

Days went by but the dark figure didn't show up. That made me anxious because I was so desperate to see Chris and Jordan begging for their lives before they were dead. I tried to sleep alot whenever possible just to meet the dark figure again. I took sleeping pills but I still coudln't see it in my dreams until one day it showed up. "You seemed desperate to meet me", it said. "Where were you? I was so eager to meet you and tell you who would your next prey be", I said. " So who would you pick this time?", it asked." It would be Chris ", I replied .

As usual after the dream I woke up drenched in sweat but I was extremely happy for what was gonna happen to Chris. And later that night I had a dream that Chris was crawling on the floor and trying to reach the door to escape but he was burnt alive.

I woke with a huge smile on my face because of the way he died. And the news channel said that a boy named Chris was burned alive in his house when his parents were out of town but no murder weapon was found.

Man! that was satisfying. Now I was pretty much excited about the way Jordan would die. He was the one along with Chris who had made my life miserable.

Right after Chris died I had a dream about Jason that very night. This was weird cause I never had a dream right after a murder because it usually took three days or a week. But this was early and I was excited. I saw Jordan jogging through the woods in the evening. He got hit by a baseball bat on his head. He fell on the ground and his face was covered with the blood that gushed out of his head. He was rolling in pain and then he looked at the dark figure. When he looked at it I felt as if he was looking at me through the dark figure.

He stood up and tried to escape but he was hit on his knees which cracked his bone. His scream was so pleasant to hear as he was begging for his life. He pulled out his phone to call for help but it was smashed to pieces. He kicked the dark figure which tripped and fell on its back. I could feel the struggle even though it was a dream it felt so real as if I was looking through the eyes of the dark figure. He tried to escape again but this time he was hit right on his skull which cracked open and he fell dead.

Next morning I heard the local news channel saying that a boy named Jordan was found dead with his skull cracked open and the murder weapon was missing but the cops said that they have found a lead and soon they would find out who the murderer was.

I wasn't worried at all because even if they had leads they could never capture the dark figure. I got dressed for school but I couldn't find my cell phone. I checked my entire house but I still couldn't find it and then the cops rushed in. " Nathan you're under arrest for the murder of your school mates", said the cop.

"How can you be so sure that I was the one who killed them?", I asked."We found your cell phone on the crime scene", said the cop. I was startled. How could that be possible ? I wasn't even there. It was all in my dreams.

"Tells us where did you hide the murder weapons?", asked one of the cops. I told them that I didn't do it and that I had no murder weapons.

They searched my entire house and found a box. It had a knife with blood stains and a can of petrol .The blood stains and the can matched the previous crime scenes. I had no other option but telling them the truth. I told them everything from me being bullied and my dreams.

After few medical tests I was told that I had dissociative identity disorder also called as split personality. Due to all the trauma and stress I had been through I had developed a violent personality within me that turned out a murderer. Though it felt like a dream to me but it was me who was killed them.

I was finally imprisoned for the crime I committed but I had no

regrets and the best thing that happened to me was that the dark figure which I could see in my dreams was now visible to me in real as well. We talked to each other everyday and one night we killed the person with whom I shared my prison cell. How fun was that....
