You stir in your sleep, your eyes darts from side to side under your eyelids. You're growing more restless as the hours goes past and small pearls of sweat form on your forehead. From all the things that has happened to you almost all of your life, it isn't really strange that you sleep so shallowly, but it hasn't really bothered you all that much. Not even when the other girls talk behind your back. All the things made you feel so small when they happened, so insignificant, but was it maybe all in your head? You don't really remember it anymore or maybe you have just pushed it out of your mind. The feeling of discomfort surfaces in your head and it spins around faster and faster as you dream, shaping your nightmare as it does. You need to wake up. <center style="padding:1em; border: 0px solid white;"><strong><big>(text-style: "shudder")[[[Awaken...->Dream]]]</big></strong></center><div align="right">You wake up suddenly with a gasp, and you stare up at the ceiling. Your bed is wet from sweat and your heart is pounding so hard in your chest, it feels as if it would burst out of your ribcage at any moment. You can't remember what you were dreaming about but it still lingers there, eating away at the back of your head and making you feel uneasy. You place a shaking hand on your chest in an attempt to calm down, but that hardly does any good as your heart keeps racing. <strong><big>[[...->Dreama]]</big></strong>You look around your room in the darkness, it's a bit hard to see despite the moon shining through the window. The room feels lonely and suffocating somehow, it must be thanks to your dream. The wet bed makes you twist and turn in discomfort, sending a few shivers through your body as the cold, wet covers touches your skin. Maybe you should get up, change the clothes maybe or just get up to make a cup of tea to calm down. <strong><big>[[...->Rooma]]</strong><big>You reach towards the nightstand in an attempt to grab your phone in the dark, but you soon realize that it isn't there. Then it hits you, you must have left it in the kitchen after last night with your friend. Your memories however is a bit hazy and you can't really remember what you did, why you would have left the phone there feels somewhat strange. With a sigh, you pull your hand back under the covers. Being tucked in under your covers have always filled you with some sort of safety, even though it is a childish notion, but this time the nagging feeling still lingers rendering the covers moot. <strong><big>[[...->Phonea]]</strong></big>Despite your bed being cold and wet, you turn to your side to try and fall asleep again, though the nagging feeling lingers in thes the back of your head. You pull the covers over your head, being tucked in under your covers have always filled you with some sort of safety, even though it is a childish notion, but this time the nagging feeling still lingers rendering the covers moot. <strong><big>[[...->Sleep1a]]</strong></big>You soon realize that you can't stay in bed, the wet feeling makes you uncomfortable, and the thought of getting your phone fills your head. You've always felt rather naked without it, and the flashlight in it helps you more often than you'd like to admit. You drag your feet over the side of the bed and down onto the cold floor. It makes you flinch somewhat so with a low mumble and cursing under your breath about how you hate cold floors, you push yourself out of bed. <strong><big>[[...->Room2a]]</strong></big>You shrug slightly in a weak attempt to get the nagging feeling out of your head but it keeps eating away at the back of your head as you turn around to your side and close you eyes. You try to fix the pillow for a bit but it just won't get comfortable. The wet sensation against your cheek isn't a very enjoyable one. <strong><big>[[...->Sleep2Enda]]</strong></big>You wrap your hand carefully around the handle, it's cold against your skin and you slowly push it downwards, as you beg it to still be open. Of course it will be open, it would be strange if it wasn't. You hadn't locked it, and even if you wanted to, you can't. You don't have the key for this door, you never saw a need for one to be made. <strong><big>[[...->Room3a]]</strong></big>You put your ear to the door, but you hear nothing. You then wrap your hand carefully around the handle, it's cold against your skin and you slowly push it downwards, as you beg it to still be open. Of course it will be open, it would be strange if it wasn't. You hadn't locked it, and even if you wanted to, you can't. You don't have the key for this door, you never saw a need for one to be made. <strong><big>[[...->Room4a]]</strong></big>As you've seen all those horror movies, you know it's a bad idea to actually go where only the idiots in movies goes, and you decide to head back to bed instead. Despite your bed still being cold and wet, you crawl into and try to fall asleep again, though the nagging feeling still lingers in the back of your head. Soon though, you hear the door slowly open and before you can turn to face it, it all turns black... <strong><big>[[...->Broken]]</strong></big>You try to move the handle again to open the door but is met by the same thing, it's locked. You try the handle a few more times in disbelief, which only makes you worry even more as the door won't budge at all. You try to take a few deep breaths, clearly it's just jammed in something as you try the door yet again. <strong><big>[[...->Room5a]]</strong></big>You try to knock on your door, but you feel silly for doing so. You're alone in the apartment, aren't you? Then suddenly the thoughts starts to wander to a prank, what if someone has broken into your apartment to play this awful prank on you. Maybe to record your reaction and send all over the internet... <strong><big>[[...->Room6a]]</strong></big>As you've seen all those horror movies, you know it's a bad idea to actually go where only the idiots in movies goes, and you decide to head back to bed instead.

The banging continues, in short intervals, which makes your heart start pounding again, maybe it hadn't stopped for all this time, but you only really noticed it again now. <strong><big>[[...->Room7a]]</strong></big>You barely dare to look away from the door to look for some place to hide, but your gaze moves frantically around the room before going back to the door to make sure it hasn't moved. The banging continues, in short intervals, which makes your heart start pounding again, maybe it hadn't stopped for all this time, but you only really noticed it again now. As you look around, you realize that your room is rather empty as you never really cared for decorating it properly. <strong><big>[[...->Room8a]]</strong></big>In a slight panic, as the pounding on the door continues in slow intervals, your eyes quickly moves around the room for a second before they lands on the door to your bathroom. Without thinking twice, you run into the bathroom and quickly close the door behind you. It makes you feel somewhat safer as you lock it. Suddenly the banging outside stops. Silence, it's almost deafening but you don't dare to open the door to check Suddenly you can swear that you hear the door push open, or maybe it's your mind that has finally snapped. [[...->BathroomEnda]]Your whole body freezes, staring at the door. What else could you do? A thin door isn't much protection and what if you would run, the thing would maybe come after you. The crack has never been as dark as it is right now as you stare into it. A black abyss that's teasing you where you stand and the darkness almost feel as if it could reach out to touch you at any moment. <strong><big>[[...->Room9a]]</strong></big>You don't know what to do other than peer into the small crack to figure out if you can see anything out there despite the fact that it feels like a stupid thing to do.

A black abyss that's teasing you where you stand and the darkness almost feel as if it could reach out to touch you at any moment. <strong><big>[[...->Room10a]]</strong></big>In a slight panic, as the pounding on the door continues, you run around the room for a second before your eyes lands on the door to your bathroom.

Silence, it's almost deafening but you don't dare to open the door to check. <strong><big>[[...->Bathroom2Enda]]</strong></big>You close the door in panic, not wanting to see nor fight whatever is out there but the door won't stay shut as it flies open, making the lamp beside it fall to the floor and the lightbulb shatters against the floor. After the door slams into the wall and you suddenly stand face to face with whatever is out there in the darkness. <strong><big>[[...->Room11Enda]]</strong></big>In a slight panic, as the pounding on the door continues, you run around the room for a second before your eyes lands on your floor lamp that stands beside the door. Without thinking twice, you quickly grab the floor lamp with both hands and pulls it, cord and all, to hold it towards the door like a spear. [[...->Room12a]]You feel like you should call for whoever is out there to try and reason with them, this must still be a really well played but horrible prank, so well in fact that this might make you stop your horror binges for the near future. You're about to call out again but the words suddenly stops in your throat and you feel like puking. <strong><big>[[...->Room13a]]</strong></big>As you try to poke the door to open it further, it suddenly flies open fully instead. The door slams into the wall with a loud bang and you now stand face to face with whatever is out there. You try to stare back at whatever is out there in the complete darkness in front of you but despite of it, the darkness doesn't seem to back down. <strong><big>[[...->Room14Enda]]</strong></big>You drop the lamp as you lose all faith in staying sane and as a last attempt, you run towards your bathroom followed by you screaming your lungs out. You slam the door to the bathroom shut and locks it with shaking hands. You turn every light on that exists in there and place yourself in your bathtub, somewhat hiding behind the shower curtain as if it would help you.

You've never really believed in these things, but when you face something that you can't really explain, these aren't times to shoot such things down. <strong><big>[[...->Dreamcatchera]]</strong></big>You try to stay completely still, but you have to put a hand over your mouth to not make any sounds as your breathing is quick and you're panicking.

It sounds just like one of your friends. With a sigh of relief, you open the door only to be met by those eyes again, which pushes you back into the bathroom with an invisible force. The eyes doesn't belong to a shape, it looks more like a cloud of smoke. It covers almost everything around you in the small bathroom and now looms over you where you lie on the floor.

As you try to get up, you realize that you're stuck. The floor feels as if it is eating you up and you feel your body sink. You desperately look up towards the bathroom door as you feel your body grow heavier and disappear downwards. You reach out your hand towards the door before your head goes through the floor and it all goes black... <strong><big>[[...->Broken]]</strong></big>You can feel the darkness try to get to you, it feels like a weight on your shoulders that you don't really know how to resist.

[[Drop the lamp and run to the bathroom.->Bathroom3End]]You can't help but to feel ridiculous as your grip tightens around the lamp in your hands. The lamp is rather long, which lets you stand some way from the door. It makes you feel somewhat safer. Suddenly the banging stops and the door slides open ever so slightly.

Apparently you managed to close the bathroom door and lock it on the way there. You hold your hands over your eyes, if you can't see it, it can't see you. Your logic isn't on point today. <strong><big>[[...->Room11Endb]]</strong></big>You soon realize that you hear laughter, someone has burst into laughter in your room.

It was all a dream, just as you thought. You let out a silent sigh of happiness as you just lie there. It's all over, you still live. It's still dark outside, the winter is still looming over the lands so it's a common thing. You get out of bed and head to the bathroom to take a shower. The hot water against your skin feels really good after you slept so poorly. <strong><big>[[...->Room16Endb]]</strong></big>Again you let out a sigh, this time of relief as you step out of the shower to collect your clothes. Your stomach starts to rumble slightly as you pull your shirt over your head and you head for the door, but it's locked... <strong><big>[[...->Despair]]</strong></big>He doesn't respond to your voice, not even your presence. You can feel the hair on your neck stand again as you stop in front of him. That creepy grin is still on his face in the dark.

You feel as if something inside of you shatters as well and it all turns black... [[...->Deception]]How could you trip in a moment like this? As you try to get up, you realize that you're stuck. The floor feels as if it is eating you up and you feel your body sink. You desperately look up towards the bathroom door as you feel your body grow heavier and disappear downwards. You reach out your hand towards the door before your head goes through the floor and it all goes black. <strong><big>[[...->Broken]]</strong></big>You can't die here, you can't. You try to keep your focus on the dreamcatcher to your attention from everything else. Suddenly you feel something grab a hold of your covers and pull them off, and soon after you feel a pair of arms wrap around you in a hug. “Been watching horrors all night again?” The voice is so familiar and you look up with tired eyes to realize that your friend is sitting on the side of your bed, hugging you. <strong><big>[[...->Room22b]]</strong></big>Someone knocks back, just as hard. You take a step back in surprise, calling out to what ever is on ther other side again carefully, but there is no answer. Suddenly it bangs on the door again and you get the feeling that whatever is out there, it isn't anything friendly. 1. [[Look around the room for a place to hide.->Room8]] 2. [[Find something to protect yourself with.->Room7]] 3. [[Run in to your bathroom to hide instead.->BathroomEnd]] You face your friend as he hands you a glass of water, somehow your throat is really dry and you drink it gladly. Suddenly memories flashes in your mind of the two of you drinking last night and you remember feeling a bit dazed, just as you do right now. You drop the glass and it shatters as it hits the floor. You look up at your friend only to be met by two completely black eyes. Your friend pushes you down in bed again and it all turns black... <strong><big>[[...->Deception]]</strong></big>You close your eyes, as if it would shield you from what is to come. As pure instinct however, you take the lamp and thrusts it into the darkness, hoping that it'll save you for what ever it is worth. The lamp doesn't hit anything, and you try again and again in vain. A pearl of sweat rolls down your forehead and you can feel the grip of the lamp slipping in your wet palms. [[...->Room00a]]You keep thrusting the lamp, aimlessly, towards the darkness. You're still not hitting anything and suddenly the lamp is ripped out of your grip with force, leaving you completely defenceless. With an invisible push, you fall backwards and hits your head on the floor and it all turns black... <strong><big>[[...->Room00b]]</strong></big>You wake up as you feel a hand on your shoulder and someone calling your name. The sun is glaring through your window and your friend is sitting beside you with a concerned look on his face. You try to sit up, but the throbbing pain in your head forces you to lie down. Your gaze wanders to the open door and then to your friend again. You survived, you actually lived through this horrible night. You can't help but to laugh out loud. <strong><big>[[...->Uncertainty]]</strong></big> <center style="padding:1em; border: 2px solid white;"><big>Ending #1</big> <font size="7"><font color="#a8a8a8"><b>(text-style: "blur")[UNCERTAINTY]</b></font></font> [[Try again.->Intro]]</center>You continues to struggle, to get away from the darkness, but your efforts seem to be all in vain as each step you try to take backwards is actually a large step towards the darkness instead. You can feel tears burn behind your eyes as you desperately struggles harder. You can feel your consciousness fade in and out as your fear takes over... <big><strong>[[...->Room16Enda]]</big></strong> <center style="padding:1em; border: 2px solid white;"><big>Ending #5</big> <font size="7"><font color="#a8a8a8"><b>(text-style: "smear")[VOID]</b></font></font> [[Try again.->Intro]]</center>
