Zombie Attack

I had a best friend called Rosie who lived in a really nice old cottage down Woodcross which was down the road from me. I decided to go down and see her because I was bored. I knocked on the door and her dad answered, I asked if Rosie could come out but her dad said no because apparently she hasn’t been acting herself lately and she hasn’t been able to go to school for a while. However, he said I could come in.

The cottage was really small and their living room was also their bedroom. Rosie was in bed watching the TV but when she seen me she got out of bed and said hello to me. Her dad had to go to work so when he went, we went on the karaoke and was having a laugh. However, when we took a break from the karaoke we sat on the bed and we were talking and I asked her what was wrong with her because of what her dad said.

She started to act funny and said ‘Oh no, what has my dad told you?’

I told her that he only told me about her not being herself. She seemed relieved but I asked her what was going on but she refused to tell me and I told her that we were meant to be best friends and she was worrying me but she just stood up and started having ago at me and sometimes she would shout out words that had nothing to do with the argument, she was acting really strange.

All of a sudden, her dad came back and he asked what all the arguing was. She told her dad that she wanted me out and that she doesn’t want to be friends with me anymore. I was really upset and just stormed out the house and walked home. When I arrived back home my mom told me that Kye had phoned not long ago so I decided to phone him back.

I told him what happened and that I was upset and I asked him if he wanted to come to my Nan’s with me and we can walk the dog and chill out. He came down and my mom took us. When we arrived, my Nan and Mick wouldn’t let us in the house because he was sorting something out with the dog and Mick didn’t want any more guys in the house because of what happened the day before apparently but when I come to ask her, she wouldn’t tell me.

Suddenly Mick comes out and I was shocked to see how much of a mess he was. His hair was sticking up, blood on his shirt and cuts on his arm and he said that we could come in including Kye. When we got in, my mom phoned me telling me that she wouldn’t be able to pick me up because of how bad the snow was getting which meant that me and Kye had to stop the night.

My Nan said Kye could sleep in the spare room and I would sleep in my room. Kye got tired about half 10 so he went off to bed and I stayed downstairs in the kitchen with my Nan. She told me to go into the living room because there was a surprise for me. I went into the living room and I was surprised to see Tison, lying in a fluffy basket in front of the fire. He was all washed and shiny. I decided to sleep downstairs that night.

The next morning, Kye and Nan come downstairs and was shocked to see me already up but I told them about last night. After breakfast, me and Kye decided to walk the dog. It was silent for a while and then Kye suddenly told me what he could drive and that he had a blue sports car. I didn’t know what to say, it was pretty awesome. We got back to Nan’s and my mom picked us up and took Kye back home. When I got back home I was just sitting at the dressing table just thinking about Rosie when mom come up saying that Kye was outside. I went outside and he was standing next to his blue sports car.

As I got into the sports car I had a phone call off Rosie’s dad. He seemed like he was panicking and he told me to come down as quick as I could because apparently, Rosie had gone all strange and then he hung up. Kye rushed down to Woodcross to the cottage where Rosie lived in. When I arrived, everything was different, her cottage looked a lot bigger and there was a grassy road going up this hill, which leads to more cottages on top of hers.

I went into Rosie’s cottage and she grabbed my arm.

‘Cheryl, you have to help me, I keep having dreams of a very ill man. I know you saw that road next my cottage, my dad can’t see it so he won’t understand. I went up there yesterday and there is another cottage on top of ours, I looked in the window and there was the man that I had been dreaming about, apart from the man that I saw above me was standing by his window with his arms up and he had white eyes and giving me really scary looks. You have to go up there and see what that man wants, I think he wants me because he keeps controlling my dreams, please help me Cheryl’, she said crying.

I told her that me and Kye would check it out because he had a car. Me and Kye went up this strange road. I was surprised we managed to get up there because of how icy it was. When we got up, we saw the cottage that was on top of Rosie’s. We got out the car and we saw the man in the window with his arms up and white eyes. I was frozen because of fright but Kye just stood there laughing at him.

The man opened his glass door and told us to come in because he was ill and he needed some help. I didn’t want to come in but we did and the man was lying on the sofa coughing. He asked us to get him some water. He drank some water and he just sat there coughing for ages and never said anything, we were just standing there doing nothing.

‘So what did you need help with?’ I asked getting annoyed of just standing there.

All of a sudden, the man got up off the sofa fast and was suddenly in my face. I was so scared. He told me that he wanted Rosie dead. Kye grabbed me and we ran out of the cottage. When we got outside, there were cottages all around us with old men in the window with their arms up and white eyes. The man started running out the cottage and chased us with his arms up and his white eyes just like a zombie.

We quickly got into the car and Kye drove off down the road. As we Kye drove down, the road suddenly turned to ice and Kye had to quickly turn his car onto the grass so that it wouldn’t slip into the lake which appeared at the bottom of the road. We got out the car and we saw the zombie man slip down the road and into the lake. In the lake was a mother and a baby, the zombie man swam up to them and shouted ‘I know who you are’, and then he jumped on them drowning them.

However, the mother and the baby got back up and the woman touched the man on the head and then he suddenly started screaming and he drown, we never saw him come back up. The woman got out the lake with her baby and she came up to us. She told us that the reason they didn’t drown was because they where ghosts of the lake. She told us that this part of Woodcross where Rosie is living in was full of evil and dangerous.

‘Don’t forget, I saved your life just as I tried to save my baby’s life 200 years ago, he fell into the lake which used to be here’, she said. Suddenly, we were turned back in time. There was a baby sitting at the side of the lake picking flowers, a man came up to him and whispered something in his ear, then the baby fell into the lake. The mother screamed and jumped in, she tried to get out of the lake with the baby but the man dunked their heads under the water until they drowned. The man just stood there and laughed. The man was a psycho and when he died; his spirit haunted this part of Woodcross.

We were back in time. ‘Everything should be safer now, the spirit of that man is sent to hell, tell your friend to move out just to be safe’, she said and she vanished. Just like the lake started to vanish and the cottages and the creepy road had vanished too. We went into Rosie’s cottage and we noticed that Rosie was back to her normal self. However, there were four suitcases in the living room and they told us that they have family in mainland Spain and that is where they were moving.

She hugged me and got into her dads car then went. I was so upset because this meant that I would never see her again but at least she was safe. Me and Kye looked at the cottage we were in and we quickly ran into the car and we went off. After that day, we never went anywhere near that cottage again.

Additional Comments:

This was the first dream I have ever written and the first dream that I have remembered so well. Dreaming this was like being in an actual horror move, however, I haven't a clue why I have dreamt this, I have dreamt of Kye because he is my boyfriend, otherwise, I just have a very crazy imagination.
