Vampire War October 13, 2009

It began in a tropical resort in a jungle-like setting. It was early in the morning and all the people working in the resort were cleaning down the resort before everyone woke up. This involved them spraying everything and everywhere with hoses, even the plants! There was one guy who was spraying an idol like a mini totem pole and there was a shallow pit beside it that he jumped into laughing. It was at this point that the dream revealed that they were being spied on. The people spying on them were dressed in a way that reminded me of Genghis Khan but they were vampires. They also reminded me a little bit of Vikings. When they saw the guy jumping in the pit they said something along the lines of, “So the old gods still exist in these parts. Not that anyone would know looking around”. It didn’t make much sense to me.

The dream then skipped to evening-time and it was no longer set in a tropical resort. Now everyone was in a huge empty field. There were three large groups (factions or armies perhaps); I was in one of them which was made up of humans, the second group was made up of dwarfs and the third group (the most threatening of the three) was made up of vampires and some humans they’d managed to manipulate onto their side. I have no idea why the dwarfs were involved. The only person I recognised on the vampire side was Fergal. He hadn’t been turned into a vampire yet, he was just acting under their influence.

Everything kicked off then but bizarrely the only fighting everyone did was throwing rocks at each other and running about. I desperately wanted to make Fergal see that the vampires were going to turn on him and save him before that happened. He seemed completely brainwashed. At one stage one of the rocks he threw hit me in the head. I went down onto the ground (overreacting) in the hopes that he’d realise what he’d done but he was already gone. I’m not too sure what happened next except that the vampires won and everyone ended up in a house that was their headquarters. I think I might have been unconscious because it seemed like I woke up in the house with no idea how I’d gotten there.

The house was filled with humans (hostages?) and a few of the vampires. I managed to slip out the back door and into the garden. Oddly enough it was Chris’ back garden only it was laid out differently. My mom was sitting out in her dressing gown and slippers. I was crouched down behind a wall about waist high. I was talking to her, telling her that I was trying to escape and not to give my location away. She said that she’d never give me up as I was her daughter and she asked me why they wanted so many humans. I told her that they were going to take all their blood, drink some of it now but put most of it in storage. She was looking at me blankly so I said, “They’d have to kill everyone before they could store their blood!” Then she looked horrified and said, “But Fergal…” I couldn’t bring myself to look at her as I replied, “Yes, Fergal too.”

Then she seemed to become really detached and started to feed the cat as I looked over the wall into the house. I could see Rebecca, Sarah and Jimbo Jones from the Simpsons standing in the kitchen laughing as if they were having a great time. I told my mom not to look down at me as she spoke to me because people would get suspicious. Just as she was agreeing with me, suddenly the light came on in the garden. Fear froze me crouched behind that little wall. One of the main vampires was coming out of the house with a cup of tea in his hand. I could see his fangs gleaming in the light. I knew I should try to find somewhere to hide but the fear had completely paralyzed me.

He seemed really sleepy, almost like he was in a daze. He walked out, nodded to my mom, picked up something from the ground and walked back inside. I could hear him calling to the other head vampire inside, “Hey I just saw you in the garden!” He then proceeded to describe exactly what I was wearing like he had thought I was the other vampire. I didn’t wait for them to figure out what had really happened.

As quickly and quietly as I could, I ran out the side gate of the house and down the street. I reached the main road and kept running in the direction that would bring me home. I kept putting up my hand for taxis but they ignored me. I was constantly looking over my shoulder as I ran. I was absolutely terrified. I didn’t know where I was running to or what I would do when I got there. Suddenly there was someone right behind me. It was Teresa from Coronation Street but she’d been turned into a vampire. No matter how fast I ran she was directly behind me so I turned around to face her while still walking backwards.

She told me that she was the only one so far who had accepted the vampires’ offer to join them. Something inside me thought desperately that if I could keep her talking I might be able to get away. I asked her why she chose to join them.

“Live forever without getting any younger? Sign me up!” she replied.

“But, now don’t take this the wrong way, but is this really the age you want to be forever? Wouldn’t you like to have taken the offer a bit younger? I’m not saying that you’re old, but I’m sure you can see what I’m trying to say,” I stuttered.

“Well they weren’t around when I was younger, were they?!” she shouted, “You should be grateful that you have the opportunity at your age!”

Then she smiled the most sinister smile I’ve ever seen, exposing her razor sharp fangs. I could feel the cold hand of panic gripping me once again. She told me that I wasn’t allowed to have this blessing due to my actions and that she was here to dispose of me. The fact that it was Teresa from Coronation Street I felt that I could try and take her. She started coming towards me and I grabbed her arms. The skin felt really rubbery and I tried to bite her arm for some reason (despite the fact that she was the one who was meant to be doing all the biting). I couldn’t break the rubbery skin but I managed to break her arm somehow. It flopped down lifeless by her side but she kept on coming towards me. Then she managed to fix it with a loud crack. I knew there was no way to defeat a vampire in this situation. It was hopeless. I was still backing away from her when the dream ended.

I felt so relieved when I woke up and it was just a dream. Such a corny, overused phrase but so true.
