C8 Dreams Are Not Real

Eunice

Dream..

I watched as they stole the money piping through the slight opened door. I turned around to go from there pah!! my head hit a wood resting by the wall, then I heard footsteps coming my way. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me but they still caught up to me as one was coming to hold me.....

Pah!! pah!!! I jerked up as I heard the gun shots in my dream, I saw that I was sweating in the air conditioned room then another Pah!!! and then Ahhh!! Oh God this isn't part of the dream I'm awake.

Oh no I better be dreaming, so I got up and opened the door slightly and there stood a man in a mask staring at me.

“Open the door” he said in a murderous voice

I had already opened the door, all my strength left me as I tattered back into the room forgetting to close the door. I closed my eyes with all my strength,

“I need to go back sleeping. ” I murmured

Then I heard footsteps getting closer to me I shifted myself to the far end of the bed and prayed hardly to go back to my dreams. Dreams are not real I need to go back dreaming.

Someone chuckled at the way I was shivering and my insistence to go back sleeping.

I opened my eyes to see two guys looking at me lustfully, the taller one made an attempt to come closer to me but I shouted.

“No please don't come closer I'm scared please”. murmured, it seemed he wanted to see my face because I had it in my laps as I shook out of fear.

“Baby stop screaming it won't do you any good, help us get inside the house and we promise we won't harm you. ” said the other guy.

“No I can't. ” I whispered my voice almost as nothing as the air.

“What are you doing in the Gateman's room? you are a bad girl aren't you?” asked the other guy who looked older.

“No, no I'm not where's Abu?‘ I asked panicking.

“Abu? the gateman?” asked the younger one.

“Well he has joined his ancestors with one of my boys. If you can't help us to get in then how about you give us something in return? huh?” asked the older one who now stood beside me now with his gun pointing on my head.

“Me? I have nothing to give you see there's nothing in this room. ” I replied.

“Yes there's nothing but you. ”

he looked at his counterpart and sneered they both started laughing.

“God it shouldn't be what I'm thinking right?” I asked myself.

Before I could get out of my thoughts, the older one huddled in front of me on the bed. I prayed to my stars for help as I sobbed helplessly.

Please! please!! please!! I continued pleading but they wouldn't hear.

Just then we heard the police sirens, one would think the car was stopped just in front of our house. They became alert and one went to the gate to check the situation. I went on my knees and cried mercilessly that the police should at least come inside our house. I still begged the other one to spare me but it felt like water pouring at the back of a bucket.

I heard a car and the siren both move away from our house.

‘God what is this? weren't you going to save me ? why give me false hope?’ I asked thoughtful

The other guy entered the room after ensuring the police have gone away I wondered why they moved away. He looked at me and smirked,

“It seems its your bad day after all. Now be humble if you are I will be the only one but if you continue shouting my colleague will also help himself with you, so your choice?” said the younger one.

He looked as he was explaining some mathematical problems to me. I held by clothes strongly while muttering,

‘No! no! please!’

Then I looked at them pleading, the younger took a step back and swept his hand in his hair and cursed silently but then it was only I who saw this, I crawled to him on my knees and begged him but he only moved away not facing me anymore until...
