Introduction:
It was a hot and sunny Sunday in the small town called Desparation.Maybe the warmest one for this summer.But in spite of that Merril was still sleeping in his bed room on the second floor of his house ,bought by his parents two months ago.He was a middle height boy of thirteen.
Suddenly the telephone rang.Merril heard it and was just going to answer the phone when...it stopped ringing.The boy thought that someone may have just dialed the wrong number and has realized that.He fall asleep again and he started dreaming unexpectedly.
Merril realized that he was sitting at the back
sit in his father's car/red ford/.He smoothly looked around and saw that the car was driven by a man he didn't know.
-Who are you?-Asked the boy.
-No one!I am just one person who wants to protect you...-answered the strange guy who was dressed in black clothes-black leather jacket and black jeans made from the same material
-To protect me?From what?Where are we going?
-There are more important things to talk about.Just relax and listen to what I am going to tell you!
-Listen,sir!I don't know who you are or what you are doing in my dream but I DONT WANNA hear what you have to say me!-replied the boy nervously.
The strange man in the black clothes didn't answer him.And soon Merril realized that this was not an ordinary dream like his previous ones.That was some kind of reality in the dream.He was able to do whatever he wanted...he was free to control himself like in the real life...Merril looked through the cars left window and saw that the red ford, that was supposed to be his father's car, was passing through the Nevada Desert...
-You are in great danger,Merril.-told him the guy with the leather jacket.-In really great danger.
-Where did you know my name from.-asked the scared boy.
-Look after yourself,boy!Especially at night.
Merril was just going to ask the man something else when he just disappeared from the car.The red ford bounced on the road and soon Merril saw that it was going to crash into some cactuses...He woke up in his bed breathing hardly.
"-Evil is everywhere."-a voice told him in his mind...
Merril was really frightened of this dream.
"-Could this be only a nightmare?"-thought Merril.He expected to hear the voice of the strange man in his mind again.But there was no reply so the boy put his clothes on and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and probably to have a bath...
After he had breakfast in the kitchen on the first floor of their his house he started to forget about his weird dream.He stand up from his chaire.Thinking of things he makes everiday.Because on Sundays he usually goes out with his new friend Kevin.Kevin is of Merril's age and wears glasses.
Merril stand at the door and tried to open it.It was locked.
He realized that he was alone in the house and that his parents had locked him in.
"-It's Sunday!?"thought Merril-"Where could they go without letting me the key for the door!?"
The thirteen years old boy decided to call his father.He had a mobile phone after all.But great disappointment filled
Merril when he saw that the cable of the phone was cut.
"-Dammit!What..."Merril was not able to finish his thought because suddenly the basement door opened with a creepy sound.
Merril got scared a lot.
"-Well...there is nothing to be afraid of.I will just go and close that door."
He slowly approached the open door and was just going to close it when he saw two red eyes in the dark of the basement.
-Cooome heeere!-the creature told him.It sounded like the zombie from the film that Merril watched yesterday at the cinema.
"-Run...run away!"-the voice from his dream told him.
But he couldn't do anything as if he was hypnotized by the red-eyed zombie.
"-If you stay here it will catch you and you will die,Merril"-said the voice again.
then something happened.He was free to move again.He started running but soon realized that there was no where to hide.He went upstares to his room but it was on the second floor so there was no hope for him...
Meanwhile the monster was climbing to stares to the boy's room.Its steps were making a strange creepy sound.Merril wished never to have heard that...
The monster soon managed to climb all the stares to the
second floor of the house and went in to the Merril's room.
-There is no where to hide...!-the monster told with its frightening voice.
Merril looked towards the windows and decided to jump out of one.
"If I jump from the window I may not die.But if this thing gets me I am certainly a dead man!"
He was just going to do it when something started to pull him back to the door of his room and then Merril realized that the monster was not there.
"Maybe it has gone back to the basement and now its puling me down to the dark"Merril was completely right.Soon he was
laying on the floor of the house basement.He felt that something was watching him,in spite of the dark down there.
he was right again.The zombie looking creature had locked him in the basement and was now looking at him from one of the corners.It knew that the boy must stay there till the coming of the night when his master will arrive.His master the ruler of the Darkside.The black magician Rumous.He needed the boy for his evil plan for control on the entire
town and then maybe the entire world...
-Where are my parents?-asked Merril
-My master will explain everything to you when he comes here.
-To come here?!What do you mean?
-When the night comes he you will meet him...
-You are not exactly a monster,right?I...mean you haven't been a monster before...sometimes you sound more like a man.Your voice changes...
-Well...I haven't been a zombie before.Before the terrible disaster I was an ordinary man with an ordinary job.Not much but a job.I worked in one supermarket and I was happy with what I had.I was married to the most beautiful woman in the world-her name was Cindy-and I also had two children from her.Two months ago at about 12 pm I was getting back from work.Suddenly I started to hear weird voices in my mind.I didn't understand what they were saying.It was in some strange language.But I got scared a lot.When I reached my home and was just going two enter my house.Something made me to turn back just to see a man in a purplerobe.He started to talk something.Well at least I thought that he was talking.Actually he was casting a spell on me.I was hearing his words only in my mind...and then I don't remember anything else...exept...one thing...the expression of his face...he was smiling...
"-What a story."-thought the boy.
-It's time-said the monster
-Time for wha...
Unexpectedly the door to the basement opened slowly and the man from the story walked in the dark room.
-Who are you?
-Who do you think I am?
-You are a black magician,aren't you?
-Yes you already know...I need you for something.Well not exactly you but your blood...
-What!?You are gonna kill me.
-Kill you?No,I will just release your soul from the sufferings of this life.
Merril wanted to say something else but in that very moment he felt that he was very tired."Why the night came so fast?"
The black magician made a spell and Merril fall in a deep sleep.
"-That was a big mistake from his side..."-said the voice from his dream/the one with the car/.
Merril was dreaming again.He was standing in the basement again but there was no monster and no black magician...just the imaginary voice in his mind and...that was strange...
there was a lighting circle on the floor with some symbols on it.
"-Step in the center of the circle!"-said the voice.
Merril stepped in it and as he did so the small room was filled whit light and the boy disappeared from the darkness of the basement.He felt safe...
