“Running through the woods with logs laid everywhere and because it was getting darker by the minute, made it so hard for Laura to seek refuge. The only source of light was the full moon and even the moon didn't give clearer light because of the trees. Laura could feel she was running out of breath but she was too scared to stop. She continues to run only for her to see a vampire coming from the front towards her direction. She turned to the right, another was coming, she turned to the left another was coming towards her, when she looked back, she saw the angry vampire she kicked in the groin coming towards her. She had no idea what to do. She knew there was no way she would escape, it's not like she could kick all of them in the groin as she did to the first. Maybe this is the end of her life, there are no two ways about it. She thought to herself as the vampires came close to her, ready to devour her when the light emanated from the moon shone on her necklace, attracting the attention of the vampires. "She is wearing the silver moon necklace, everyone run". the vampire that was hit in the groin said but before they could take off, the light from the necklace allowed the necklace to glow so much that it got the vampires and they burnt and disappeared. The moment they evaporated into thin air and her necklace was back to normal, Laura continued running not believing what just happened. As she was running, suddenly she felt a hand drag her pushing her against the tree. Laura tried to protest but the person covered her mouth. "Shh!" He whispered into her ears. "If you don't want to become their dinner, I will Advise you to stay put." the voice whispered into her ear. Laura had no choice but to succumb to his protection. Laura Hall has always lived a normal life with her family as a Florist but things changed when she had a dream or a nightmare that changed her life forever especially when that dream became a reality.”
