Let Me Free

                It happened for past seven years ago, when I still wore my junior high uniform and still acted like an elementary child. Dressed in a nerd way, a skirt was under knees, and a uniform was put in a skirt. I did all my tasks and submitted on time. I wrote what my teacher said in a small blue notebook, like a diary, in case I would forget. Preparing lessons for tomorrow then put books inside my bags every night. I went to one of a private school in a big city with a nun as a headmaster. She is such a kind person with a bright personality.

            I was not a smart and diligent student, just an average student, but I was an easy going girl. I could talk to everyone in my school. My parents knows all my friends and my best friends. There was a difference between two type of my friends. I just talked with friends in a school and my best friends stayed overnight talk a random story. I was happy as I am but it was changed because of something happened that night.

            My mom always asks me to sleep early, so that I can wake up early in the next day. I obeyed her order and studied again in the morning. One night, I should finish my homework and it made me stay until late. It was about a half past eleven when I decided to sleep. I was awakened. A nightmare. Someone tried to catch me and I was afraid. I decided to sleep again. When I was sleep, actually I was not sure I was really sleep or not.

            Something upon my body. It pushed me. I could not move my body. I do not know what is it. I could not open my eyes widely but i could see a situation in my room. I could see my mom slept beside me. I need my mom to wake me up, but I could not make my hands of feet move, instead screamed. It feels like my soul would leave my body. The more I tried to rebel it, the more it against me. This time I tried to budge. I let it did what it would happen to me. Unexpectedly, it gone. I could open my eyes and reach my mom’s hand and woke her up. I told my mom what had happened to me. She asked me to pray before I sleep again. I did it and woke in the morning. It did not happen once or twice. It often happened. It always made me afraid went to sleep. I was afraid it would come again and wondered I could not awake again in the morning.was a terrible one, seemed like I could not handle it anymore.

            “Mmphhh...”  I could hear my voice. Trying to scream but I could not. I gave up on it. It gone. I prayed Hail Mary and I fell asleep.

            “Mmphhh...” It came again. This one was stronger than the first one. It seemed like it would pull my soul from my body.

            I was very eerie.

            I could not move my lips. At least I tried to make a noisy because I knew I could not reach my mom. It failed. I prayed. I mentioned God’s name, but it did not work. I was really tired of this. I gave up on it again, I let it won over me. It gone.

            I woke my mom up and told what had happened to me. She held my hand and asked me to pray and went sleep after that. It was not the end. A nightmare. Something long without legs and big. It was scaly and brown. It came out from my mouth but it was really hard to make it out from my mouth, because it moved really slow and made my throat became sore.

            I woke up once again. Sit upon my bed and started to pray to God. I asked to blessed me, protected me, and never left me. I told Him that I was really afraid and need Him.
