When she turned to look at it again.  It was gone.
A sigh of relief escaped her lips.  Surely it was just her imagination.
She was too tired to wonder anymore though.  She really just wanted to sleep.  The nightmare seemed to have gone away as she felt more awake than asleep now.

Afraid the nightmares would start up again,she decided to get up. She raised up cautiously still eyeing the doorway and sat on the side of her bed. She rubbed her eyes and stood up.
That is when she noticed the blood on her forearm. Where did it come from?

She walked quickly to the nearest mirror in the bathroom

There it was. Two fairly large freshly bitten bite marks in her neck. Shocked that they were actually there that she was bitten in REAL life as well as her dream. She proceeded to turn on the cold water and wash the wound with soapy water and quickly bandaged it up.

It was still early. Around 4:21am, but now she really could not sleep.  Now she feared for her life.

If It could attack her in her dream and leave bite marks then does that mean it truly exists?

She was confused, but at the same time knew that she had to keep her eyes open and search her home for any trace of the being that was in her dreams.

What would she do if she encountered it? What would it do to her? She was certain that it would attack and take her life for good. Her mind kept swarming. Then she realized that she had to arm herself against it. She had to find out how to kill it before it killed her.
