*Knock knock knock*

Draven woke with a shock. The dreams from last night still clear in his head. The same creature from the last 3 nights has been tormenting him every time he closes his eyes.

*Knock knock knock*

Draven jumps out of bed and puts his shorts on while hurrying to the door. Who in the world could be knocking this early? The sun is barely up!
He gets to the door still half asleep, and notices a police car out the window.

Draven opens the door, and is confronted by 2 police officers.
"Sorry to bother you this early sir, but we are going door to door asking if anyone seen anything late last night at the house 3 doors down?"
Draven responds, "I got home around 10, and fell asleep watching a movie around 11. Are you talking about Sarah's house?"

Sarah was a young woman in her mid 20's around the same age as Draven. They had been friends since middle school. She was a slender girl, about 5'5, with long red hair, and piercing green eyes.
Come to think of it, everyone in the neighborhood had green eyes. Weird...

Officer 1: "Yes it was. There was some kind of animal attack during her party last night that did not end well for anyone there. I can't give much information, but out of over 100 people, we only found 7 bodies, with one in critical condition. You are the only person left in this neighborhood. Every other house is completely empty."

Draven didn't respond. He just stood there in shock. Not only because of what happened, but because it's exactly what happened in his dream last night.
He stood there in silence as the Officers got closer to him in case he collapsed.
"I need to sit down" Draven says quietly.
Officer 2: "We will help you in, and we will have another Officer come out and watch over the house today."

Draven got sat down, and collapsed. Not asleep, but not awake either. What could cause a dream to become real? If it is real, then that means he's next. What can he do to stop it? In the dream, the creature always came out at midnight, and IT CAME THROUGH THE MIRROR! That's it! Destroy all the mirrors, and kill the creature!

Draven sat up straight. The Officers were gone, and now the sun was high in the sky. How long was he sitting there? It felt like a few minutes, but it had to be at least 6 hours.

"I have to destroy the mirrors!" Draven said to himself.
Fear, confusion, and hatred running through him all at once. He jumps up and runs to his bedroom where he has a full body mirror. Without thinking, he kicks it as hard as he can. It cracks. Now, Draven stands 6'2 and very athletic built, so that thing should've shattered with that force. He just stares at it in shock. He can't believe what he is seeing. The mirror repaired itself! No cracks, or anything.
Draven stands there mesmerized. How is this possible? All of his friends were at that party last night, so he has absolutely nobody to call. All of his family was killed by an animal attack 10 years ago. Or was it an animal? So many things going through his head, and all he can think to do is run. So he did.
He ran outside, and blindly ran to the police car out front. Not knowing what to do, he started screaming at the Officer, and telling him that it's not an animal. It's a creature from his dreams that comes through mirrors. He tried to break his mirror, but it repaired itself.

Officer: "Sir, please calm down, and take a seat. We can discuss this calmly.

"No! We have to get out of here, or everyone else will die! Including you!" Draven screamed.

At that point the Officer called for backup, and (while fighting with Draven) arrested him for threatening an Officer, and resisting arrest.

They take Draven to a holding cell, and question him for 2 hours. His story stays the same through every single test. At this point they believe he has literally lost his grip on reality, and needs help. They decide to call a Psychiatrist to come talk to him. An hour later, the Psychiatrist shows up.
For 3 hours straight Draven is asked the same questions over and over. Then he is asked about the death of his family. Was it the same animal that killed everyone at the party? Where was he when it happened? Has he ever blacked out for hours and not remember anything? Has he been diagnosed with multiple personality disorder?
Draven thought to himself that these people actually think it was him that killed everyone, including his family. Then again, he had been experiencing blackouts where he didn't remember anything. Could he actually been the one who did it? Could he have killed his own family? No. That still doesn't explain the mirrors, or the dreams. Something else is happening.

8:00pm rolls around, and Draven is informed that he will have to stay overnight in the holding cell until they figure out exactly what's happening.
Draven decides to sleep. Maybe he can figure it out in the morning...

*BANG*

Draven shot up off the cot he was sleeping on. Looking around, he notices that the clock on the wall is frozen at exactly 12:01.

"Hello? Is anyone still here?" Draven screams out the cell. No answer.
Suddenly there is screaming through the jail. People running in past Draven with guns drawn. More screaming. Gun shots sound throughout the building. The screaming gets louder, and the shots stop. An Officer comes running in, and unlocks Draven's cell.

Officer: "RUN!"

Draven: "What happened? Where do I go?"

"JUST RUN! NOW, GO!"

So Draven ran, and ran, until he couldn't run anymore, and had to stop for breath. He looked around, and realized he was in the woods close to where his family was killed. A twig broke behind him. He starts running again, away from where his family was killed, and away from whatever was back there. Something was running behind him. It was big, and was keeping up with him.
Draven ran faster, and started panicking. His heart pounding, and it felt like his chest was caving in. Not paying attention to where he was going, he tripped, and fell over a large tree root sticking up.
Draven slowly rolled over, and looked up. A ghostly white face with blood red eyes, no nose, and a mouth full of razor sharp teeth stared back at him. It's body was at least 15 foot long, but was contorted at multiple different angles.

"What the hell are you?!" Draven screamed.
The creature seemed to smile, and as random knocking started, it struck, and sunk it's teeth in. Darkness caved in, and Draven faded away...

Draven woke with a shock. The dreams from last night still clear in his head. The same creature from the last 4 nights has been tormenting him every time he closes his eyes....
