It has been such a long time since I woke up feeling shaken from a nightmare. I jumped out of my bed abruptly and knocked down my new laptop. It was a loud crash. But I did not rush to see if my gaming laptop was alright. I just sat down on my bed, motionless, trying to recover from the vicious nightmare. What if it becomes real? Or that it is already happening around the world. After a long while I began to scan my surroundings. For a moment I was completely thankful of the life that I have. The room looks peaceful. Like no harm can come my way if I stay in this room. I felt relief.
The zen didn't last though. All of the sudden I became paranoid of my surroundings. Like something might be lurking at some corner of my room and they will only come out to grab me when I wasn't looking. Being a 22year old, this is really ridiculous. I blame my imagination for that. However, that's how much the dream terrified me. The details from the start to my rude awakening imprinted deep in my mind.
It all starts out sunny, like they always do in the dream. You suspect nothing and life is good. I was in a bus with a huge group of people. It was a school trip. Where to? I have no idea but we were heading somewhere. Everyone were talking and laughing, enjoying ourselves when the bus suddenly broke down. We were in the middle of nowhere. No other signs of life can be seen.
The teachers couldn't repair the bus so they had to resort to outside help to get us out of our peril. Discussions with the "outsiders" led to them saying they will only afford a small van to carry us out in small groups one at a time. The adults have no other options but to comply, feeling that that is their only option. They were relieved, in fact, that they got us out of a dangerous situation. They could not have been more wrong.
Being the nice and sensible person like I always am, I was volunteered to be in the last group of people to be ferried away in that tiny van. The van reeked of a very funny smell. I felt like I could close my eyes. Close I did. The journey became a blur and I could only remember flashes of Friend faces, scared faces, looking at me. I woke up. One of my classmate filled me in, there is a crazy person out that that had been capturing people from our class. What he does with them, we have no idea.
Apparently one of the teacher felt that something was amissed with the outsiders that he decided to follow the van from behind and realised that the van took the others deeper into the forest. He proceeded on to tailed the van and finally saw its destination. An abandoned lab. From what he had gathered there was many floors underneath the ground.
By the time he realised this predicament, it was too late. We were the only ones that was saved. He laid a trapped and somehow managed to get us all out in our unconscious state. He said that we need a plan. Or we are never going to get our friends back again.
It was an elaborated plan, we went searching for a nearby village just behind that abandoned lab to look for help. Villagers are not willing to help us but was however, able to give us some insight to what was happening.
That man who kidnapped our friends, was a failed science experiment. He likes to take victims in the middle of the night and take them back to their lab. Apparently bullets don't work on him and the villagers tried many ways to stop this man. They eventually gave up. They came to one agreement- everyday one person from the village will be chosen to be the sacrificial lamb to this Monster. The hunting stopped.
The villagers say that they will not help us in getting our friends back for they are afraid of incuring the wrath of this man beast. We understood where they were coming from and decided to just leave them alone. We felt hopeless. Was there nothing we can do?
That was when one of them decided to help us, he claimed to be the scientist that worked in that abandoned lab before. He told us the only way to kill that monster was to poison him and to create the poison we need his blood. He said that he knew who the man was before he became a monster and some of the human instincts and traits that are inate can be exploited.
He pointed his index finger to a girl in our group. Only you can do it, he says. You have to sacrifice yourself and seduce him. In that very moment, cut him and let his blood dripped into the underground. We can collect the blood there and create the poison to triumph this Monster once and for all. He said, don't worry we will come to your rescue the moment you cut him so everything will be fine. She reluctantly agreed. Oh boy, why did she even agree to such a ridiculous idea.
We went to the villagers and asked if we can do our part and put one of our people as the sacrificial lamb for the night. They happily agreed to it.
Then it happend, this monster came and saw our Friend when it was completely dark. He tackled her down to the floor and immediately stripped her and himself. In the dark of the night I could only squint to see the shadows of this huge man over the small frame of the girl. Then it happened. The clouds moved and moon reflected light upon the monster's face. The girl screamed. Hell, even I felt like screaming but I kept it in. It wasn't the face of a human. You could see some features but It was heavily disfigured. There were no human nose; it was replaced by a wildboar's nose that was sewn to his face.
Hastily she took out a knife that she was hiding and cut the arms of this man-boar. He did not even flinched. Instead he picked her up like she was nothing and fled into the forest. The girl's cries for help quickly became muffled and soon, it was silent.
Our group was in despair. We rushed to help her but it was too late. The man boar was just too fast for us. The scientist came to us and told us that it is not a waste as he was able to get some blood sample from the man boar to create the poison. And he left the scene.
Our group felt that we were done for the night and went seperate ways to sleep in different villagers houses. Why did we even allow this to happen, I don't know. I followed the scientist home of course. I am the main character of the nightmare.
He began to perform various tasks with the blood and soon, one flask with the blood turned solid. YES, he exclaimed. I found the poison to destroy him. With this, we can solidify the blood of the man boar and leave him to die! I told the scientist to meet us asap at the entrance of the lab as I ran out to regroup the others to save the girl.
They were all man-handled by the villagers in the supermarket. We will not allow you to go, the villagers said. At that moment I felt really betrayed and I turned into some crazy ass kung fu fighter and punched one of the old man in the jaw and blood came splotting out. He was definitely bruised. And I went berserk with the items in the supermarket, throwing it around and messing the place up.
Eventually I was able to create a havoc that everyone was able to escape. I told them about the discovery and said that we should bolt to the abandoned lab straight away to save our Friend. They agreed. When we reached our destination the scientist was nowhere in sight. We waited for an hour. He was still nowhere to be seen.
At this point of time, our group was growing restless and decided that we should just go in and save our friends through the power of our sheer numbers. Good odds right? Nope. The man boar ambushed us when we were in the hallway and even managed to clingwrap the rest of my group tightly in pairs. Suffocating them. They didn't had the strength to come out. We tried to Attack the man boar but he didn't seem to feel anything at all. Horrible horrible situation.
My crazy ass kungfu skills were useless against this Monster and I ran. I ran past various rooms, each room filled with disfigured people who barely resembled some of my classmates. All of them clingwrapped in thick layers and struggling to breathe. Some didn't struggled, which I assumed to be dead. I ran even faster but it was still no match to the speed of that clingwrap Monster. A huge hand grabbed my shoulder and I woke up. Sweaty from this nightmare.
