HEYYY! Been a while again... but just a little update, I didn't really see my other two stories 'The Sorcress and Her Familiar" or my second "Sonic and the Black Knight" really going anywhere. But this idea has been on my poll for a while, and it hadn't gotten much votes but it did have the majority anyway, and the idea has been at the back of my mind for a while since I have started getting back into Catherine.

So with this story, Serina is still gonna be in my pairing, her and Jonny are what I'm going for. So, hopefully you guys are gonna like it, I'm feeling pretty good about this. :) So let's see how it goes.

That being said, I hope you all enjoy.

LADIES AND GENTS! I GIVE YOU!

A Girl in the Nightmare Realm?

Chapter 1

Fear is all that she had known when she was asleep. Nothing joyful awaited her in the dream world. For as long as she could remember, nightmares of past experiences have haunted her in her sleep.

Soon, she will be approached by a new, strange nightmare. Unlike any other she's seen before.

Serina lie in bed, fighting the heaviness of her eyes. Unwilling to give in to sleep. She hated admitting it, but she was afraid. It didn't matter how long she had dealt with nightmares, she was still afraid of what awaited her as she drifted off to sleep.

Eventually, she could fight it no longer. Her eyes closed and she quickly drifted off to sleep.

As she found herself in the dream realm, she noticed different surroundings. A large door was in front of her, cautiously she placed her hand on the doorknob and opened it.

She walked out onto a platform of blocks, and the door dissapeared. Looking up, she saw that the blocks formed a very tall tower.

'What is this?' She wondered, 'Where am I?'

The blocks beneath her feet began to rumble and she looked down to see some of the blocks falling. The bottom of the pit could not be seen.

"Hurry! You have to climb, or else you'll be killed!" A male voice called.

"Killed?!" What's going on?!" She questioned.

"There isn't time to explain right now! If you want to live, climb!" The voice called.

More blocks began to fall and she quickly began climbing up the large blocks.

"You can move the blocks to form a path when you find yourself stuck!" The voice said.

Serina looked around and saw that she needed a path, so she began to make a stairway, and she was able to proceed. After a while of scrambling around and moving a bunch of different blocks, she made it to the top where she found another door.

She turned around to see the remainder of the stage she left behind her to see a large pair of hands grab onto the blocks.

"Don't think that this will be the end of it!" A deep male voice growled.

A wave of fear shot through her and she turned around to open the door and leave. The door slammed behind her and everything went dark.

Serina awakened quickly and sat up. Her breath was short and her entire body was shaking. Her eyes darted around to see that she was back in her room.

A sigh of relief escaped her lips as she moved a strand of long hair out of her face. She swung her legs over the side of her bed and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.

She shuffled over to her closet and threw on a pair of jeans and a light blue tank top with a white hoodie. Laid out on her bathroom counter were her toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush and makeup. She brushed her teeth and combed her waist long white hair. Grabbing just eyeliner and mascara, she applied both, making her grey eyes stand out.

Her phone started beeping and vibrating over on her nightstand. She walked over and picked it up.

"7:30 Wake up" it read.

'I woke up before my alarm again. Looks like it's another early day.' She thought.

She shut the alarm off and slipped it into her left back pocket. Then walked over and grabbed her backpack and put on her blue large-framed glasses.

Exiting her dorm and locking the door behind her, she made her way to her English class. She is a college student, writing and art make up the majority of her classes. Even though she doesn't need to study and is well over too old for school, even though she only looks to be twenty years old, she still enjoys studying in her free time.

Serina is an immortal vampire and sorcress. She was born in the 1400s. Her purpose on this Earth is to make sure everything is in order and that evil doesn't overstep its boundaries and cause trouble. Very few people know her secret, and she usually keeps to herself anyway. The only close friend that knows of her secret is Vincent, they met after she had moved into the area for her new classes.

She made it to her motning English class and took her seat, grabbing out her notes and pen. An extra sheet of paper lay beside her notebook that she began doodling on.

As the class started and the professor went on with her lecture regarding Shakespeare, Serina's focus faded in and out due to her lack of proper rest. A few times she almost fell asleep, but she would quickly catch herself and keep her focus back on the lecture.

"Alright, due tomorrow, you're going to write a Sonnet. Your choice of Itallian or Shakesperian." The professor, Ms. Matthews, announced.

'The end of class already? Did I end up falling asleep for longer than I should have?' Serina pondered.

The rest of the class grabbed their notes and filed out of the door, but Serina was moving at a slower pace. She grabbed her things and threw her backpack over her right shoulder and began to walk out.

"Serina." The professor called after her.

"Yes ma'am?" She replied.

"I've noticed you seem a bit off today, is everything alright?" Matthews asked.

"Oh, I should be fine, I didn't get very good rest last night." Serina answered.

"Alright, take it easy." Matthews smiled.

"Thank you." Serina returned the smile and exited the door.

As she made it to the main part of campass the phone in her pocket started buzzing. She unlocked her phone and saw that she recieved a text from Erica.

"Hey! Do you think you could cover my shift tonight? I'm gonna be out of town. :/"

Serina replied.

"Sure :) no problem."

Serina had just gotten a job at the Stray Sheep bar in order to keep up on college and dorm payments, she had only been working there for about a month now.

Erica responded again.

"Thanks so much! I'll let Boss know."
