Wendy couldn’t sleep, because of the same nightmare. She always dream about this; Two big monster hands. Under her bed. She went to her mother but her mother said:” Come on Wendy. Nightmares are not real. Think about good things and sleep. I’m really tired. Please be quiet!” Wendy said: “ Can I sleep with you?” Mother said:” Of course not. You aren’t a baby. Your friends never sleep with their mothers.

” Wendy says:” OK “ When she was back in her room, she saw the two big ugly monster hands under her bed! She started to shout and when she opened her eyes again it was not there. Her mother came and said:” What’s going on?” “ Mom it was there really. The monster hands were there. I saw them.” “ There aren’t any hands. Please jump in your bed and sleep.” She slept. In the morning when she got up, her mother was calling her. “Be quick. We have to go to a meeting get up!” “OK, mom.” She put on her clothes and while she was going out of her room, she remembered her teddy bear. So she looked for it. But she couldn’t find it. At last she saw it under her bed. But she was scared. Her mom got angry. “Be quick! I’m waiting for you!” but she couldn’t go anywhere without her teddy bear. While she was taking it suddenly ‘two big ugly monster hands’ came and pulled her under the bed, She wanted to shout but she couldn’t… When her mother came to her room, she was not there so she got a bit worried. Then she looked for her all around the house, but she couldn’t find Wendy. At last she went to the police station but unfortunately they won’t find her. Because, Wendy was not on the Earth. She was on an other planet. Wendy fainted while the monster was taking her. When she woke up she was in a very terrible room. She started to cry. “Mom, where are you? Please come here! Leave me free!” but nobody came to the room. “Can you hear me! No! No! No! It’s just a nightmare. Nightmares can’t be real!” Suddenly she heard a voice which was very scary. “ I’m so sorry but I need your emotions. I will take them if I won’t do it I will die. I just want your emotions! But there is nothing to be afraid of (!) After I filter your emotions, you can go to your home. Unfortunately, you will be like a robot. You can’t love or be happy. Of course somI promise I will take you home. If I were you, I would say good bye to my emotions.” Wendy: “ I won’t give you my emotions! All of the police officers are looking for me they will find me you will go to prison. Monster: HA! HA!HA! If we were on Earth it could be possible but we are not on earth now.” Wendy:” What! But how can it be? You kidnaped me from under my bed. It can’t be true. Don’t be funny. There can’t be a secret door under my bed. Because I looked there three weeks ago and there wasn’t a secret door. Monster: “ Yes, you are right. Three weeks ago. I didn’t live there. I was drinking another human’s emotions. I started to live there two weeks ago. First I choose my victim. Then I start to live under the his or her bed so that I can enter his or her nightmares. I can check my victims emotions. One week later, I show my body. If she or he believe it, I take the victim then I drink my victims emotions.” The monster went out of the room looking at her with a big smile.  She can’t hear his voice and tries to find a way to escape. But how? Suddenly she saw a blue light. When it became clearer she couldn’t believe her eyes. The woman in front of her is her grandmother. Her grandmother died last year. Wendy said: “Grandmother, how can you come here? It’s impossible.” She said: “ Yes, you are right but the word “impossible” is just for the world. This palce is weird. Normally you are not in a room. For example;This wall is not real it is in your brain. If you can believe that you can escape. Because the monster gets his strength from your negative emotions. If you believe that you can beat it, you will take his strength. I can’t help you more. Now it’s your turn.” Then, she disappeared. Wendy: “Just believe in the impossible things. Just believe.” She feels like a mountain is on her shouldres. Then she shouts:” A monster can be real but it’s not impossible that I fight it and and win this fight! All of a sudden everything started to disappear. The walls, the floor..  She heard the voice of the monster again but it was not scary anymore. When she got the control, the monster lost his strength. She started to fall. She fell down on her bed. Her mother was still shouting. But she doesn’t understand anything her mother called the police officers. Was it also a dream? She didn’t care. That the monster was not there counted. Nothing else. She went downstairs and went with her mother. Ayşe Zümra AYDIN- 7th HUNTERS
