Shuffle shuffle
I leaned my head against the plate of glass, seperating me from the outside world of the train. My eyes slipped closed a moment, feeling the bump and rumbled beneath me, one sharp one making me jolt. That... didn't much feel like the train to me. I disregarded the motion and set my head back down.
I took a quick glance around the train, the walls decorated with a pretty cherry wood, people sitting and eating little treats, having a nice time and speaking with their relatives. By the way the small tables were pulled out between the two seats, I could tell it was about dinner time. My stomach grumbled, but I ignored it. I didn't feel like eating just yet, I really just wanted to rest my eyes a little, think about my destination. A town, an older one. My aunt was supposed to be there... she had a son some years ago, I looked forward to seeing the young boy. Although, by the time I got there, I would think it would be around midnight.
Looking out the window, I saw the full moon hovering in the darkened sky. All of a sudden, screams outbursted from the train car behind us, and my head lightly jolted from the window. People were running into our car, screaming at us and grabbing people, shaking their shoulders for them to understand that they needed to leave. I looked around tiredly, groggy, a little girl skipping past my seat, the most blank look on her features. Her hat fell off her head, revealing her dark tendrils, straight and beautiful. I held the frilly hat in my hands, reaching out to give it back to her, but she was gone.
"Run from them!" somebody screamed.
"Don't succumb to their greed!" another yelled, all running out, packing in the door like a can of anchovies.
Shadowy figures of people burst through the door, all angry, but they weren't beings, they didn't have a body. They were all yelling, reaching for the humans that had escaped them. One smaller shadow climbed in my seat and sat next to me, reaching toward my face. I opened my mouth to scream.
I jolted forward in my bed, back in my room, looking around hurriedly. I stared at the end of my bed, screaming, but unheard by others. I screamed at a figure coming up from the end of my bed railing, smiling at me. All but too sudden, I fell back against my sheets, and fell back asleep.
I stared at the little girl before me, her face pale, not smiling, her dark brown eyes holding now emotion as she took the hat from my shaking hands. "Thank you Miss," she said, getting up and walking back to her train car with a nod back to me, disappearing from my sight.
