THE HALL OF THE DEAD

It said on the top of entrance of a carnival I could see rides there but no one was there ?, it was a mystery . I don't want to go but my legs began walking without my permission I didn't want to be in that creepy place BUT MY LEGS WOULDN'T STOP THEY WERE WALKING ON THERE OWN !!!! .I could not fathom what was going on here but I kept going according to my legs .

When I entered the carnival it was full of many rides and eateries but all empty no one was there all quiet and silent only an occasionally a wind came to soothe me otherwise there was nothing about this place,that was particularly bright .I was moving around the place for a few hours and not a single soul I have come across here but still my legs are going on and on ,they aren't stopping a bit nor they have a destination it seems they are moving randomly around all the rides . I was getting bored of roaming around like this but still I had no control over the situation .

Suddenly my legs stopped and the place was filling in with people but these people were very hazy in appearance not solid like usually humans are like as they came into the carnival . They were very delighted at the sight of carnival then a huge crowd came in from the back and welcomed the guest and carnival began now my legs were frozen they did not allow me to move for sometime I stayed there then there was was a group of college students coming in that group many were my friends Allison , Jimmy , Drake , Stacy. My legs are still not moving then I see some guys coming through the gate they seem more solid than others my legs start to follow them I try my level best to stop as I did not like the feeling they gave me but could not . they went to play some arcade games and then turned to some circus show it was 8 o clock ,the place was getting darker and everyone was also going for the circus but not these guys they went backstage and there was a tunnel below the haystack kept for animals ,they went down I followed , for sometime it was all dark inside but then a light came it was a faint light but I could see many craters all around the place . I looked around the place and saw that they had something in one of the crater which had been kept hidden nehind a wall .

They opened the crater and there was a stone within the crater and it shined a lot it was green in color . Those guys seem to be using that stone's energy upon themselves and I could see maybe the stone was forced to give them the power but was still resisting the way it could .

When I opened my eyes I was lying on my bed and my mum was calling me to get up I washed and went downstairs.

I sat down on chair had a talk with mom she said dad already had left and today I had to bring some groceries as she is working late night today .

I then went to school , met up with my friends . After school was over me and my friends went to some store to buy some things when I saw those kids from my dream walk past us this was seriously not a coincident I had spent my complete day avoiding that dream now it is coming back at my face and today even our english professor whose name I did forgotten had given us homework to write essay on dreams .

I am sure I am going crazy right now as have never seen these guys in school till today but first they are in my dream now they are in my school's uniform .

"Allison have you seen these guys who went past us in our school before "

"No Kal they seem like new students to me '

"it seems like they are exchange students to me " said Jim

" guys you go to your house i have to buy some things from shop today "

"sure Kal " said Allison

They left and went to groceries shop and bought some vegies and again saw those guys but I just ignored them but they were not normal as radiated some aloofness something not unexplainable ,they seem to be following and keeping an eye on me they were roaming in complete Neighbourhood or they were searching for something .

I went from my back porch gate which is hidden by bushes so that they could not get location of my house I went inside as fast as I could and closed the doors and all windows and went into my room and was shocked to see the stone that emrald stone it was lying on my bed .it gripped me with fear and I threw it out of the window and then went to take a shower .When I came back it was again on my pillow.
