This was more of a nightmare and it felt so real yet I new it was only a dream... but that's what made it terrifying I was working at a hotel (I didn't recognize where) and all I remember was specific parts of it and the small water park attached. I worked in a small store area that was set up like a convenience store but really nice and it had a set of doors leading to the pool, to the "outside" and 2 to the hotel. I say "outside" because other than the pools I never see outside the hotel. Anyway, I didn't know any of the other workers in real life but was friends with them in the dream. At some point the manager told us a group of soldiers would be staying at the hotel for awhile and (my boyfriend's in the military) would be there. I was really excited. Oh also there's a talking wolf-dog but that'll be important later. I walked out to the pool because my manager wanted me to clean and see something moving near some bushes. I walk to it and see it's a gator (apparently it's not uncommon and they live at the pool and I take care of them). I spend some time feeding them and cleaning when I get word the military is here. I run back and look for my boyfriend. I find him and hug him and we talk but I don't remember the conversation. Time skips and it's later in the day and I'm in the store stocking shelves while there's some soldiers hangingout in the room. I look over as I'm having a conversation with the cashier when I notice it's storming out. I look away and back as a lightning bolt strikes and when I look again everyone is gone and there's blood on the window with "Wake Up" written in it. I quickly look around and notice the wolf with something bloody in it's mouth. I feel dizzy as the room spins and hold on to the self as i hear another lightning bolt. Then I hear talking and jump as a hand is on my shoulder. It's one of my coworkers and he asked if i was ok. I nod as i look around confused. I see wolf who is sleeping behind the front desk and then look up at the window. Time skips again as it's mid day and I'm at the pool with some coworkers and militarily. Wolf was there too mocking the soldiers for being too scared to get near the gators. I'm showing off as I jump in a pool of gators and they all call my crazy. But then my boyfriend jumps in after me. It was sweet but I felt something brush my feet as we're all laughing. Then suddenly I'm pulled under but when I submerge all the gators and people disappear. I look down and there was a rope around my foot going down to a dark abyss. I was falling much deeper the the pool was. Then i realised the water was turning red the deeper I went. Just as i felt like i couldn't hold my breath, times skipped and i was laying in a hotel bed. I looked around to see it was dark. I rolled over and then time skipped again. Now i was in a ballroom putting up chairs talking to a coworker. I felt like i saw something out of the corner of my eye but never looked becaus the room was lined with mirrors and assumed it was my reflection. Then i heard glass break behind me and looked to see my coworker dropping glasses as he stared at a mirror i followed his stare to see his reflection with something standing behind him. It was a tall slender shadow monster with long claws and bright eyes and fangs. I walked to the mirror to get a better look and glanced at my own reflection to see the same creature in place of my reflection. Then I froze. I couldn't move as it felt like my reflection was engulfing my vision. Then blink and it's gone. I turn around to see my coworker cleaning broken glass and cursing. I looked back at the mirror to see my own reflection. I head my boyfriend and his friends walk in but stayed focused on the mirror. I looked at they're reflection then saw something small walking out of the corner of my eye in the mirror I turned around to look but nothing was there. My boyfriend asked me if i was ok. I nodded and walked over to him to join the conversation. Time skipped and I was back in the store sitting on the counter talking to my boyfriend and the others in there. I hopped off the counter and when my feet hit everyone was gone. The window had blood on it again but this time read "Too Slow". I was frozen except I could look around. I saw wolf again with blood dripping from his mouth. I looked down to see a small dog ripped to pieces below him. I realized the blood led from the window. As my gaze went back to the window it said "Your Fault" and I heard faint crying from around me. It felt like tears were running down my face but i was still frozen. I couldn't make a sound. I just stared at the graphic scene infront of me. Not sure how much time passed but I heard a growl, snarl and a yelp. I turned to look and everything was back to normal. But I was on the ground tears still running down my face. I was in my boyfriend's arms and he was asking if i was ok. I nodded and looked up no longer feeling tears. I smiled and we went back to the conversation. At this point I was aware it was a dream. I left the room and as time skipped was in an empty room with the soldiers weapons. I grabbed a gun and thought I could wake myself up with it. I heard voices approach the room as I held it to my chest. I pulled the trigger but opened my eyes to see I was at the pool. It was dark and quiet. I went to walk inside when I saw on the window into the store was covered in blood but this time it was like something was thrown against it with a big splatter. I hear a growl as the wolf is behind me. I stand still as it charges at me but instinctively close my eyes. When I opened them I'm in my bedroom. I couldn't move. Out of the corner of my eye in the reflection of my mirror I saw the creature from before. I managed to move my head enough to see it and I heard the sound of glass breaking. I quickly turned to the other side of my room to see the creature climbing through my window. I quickly closed my eyes and tensed up. After awhile I opened my eyes to see I was back in the hotel room on the bed. I felt tears again as I got up and ran out. I ran down a forever hall until I heard a cry of a dog and stopped to turn around. I saw a shadow figure of a small dog with glowing white eyes. I screamed but there was no sound. I fell to the floor crying as I woke up in my room. I sat up. Whipped away my tears and turned on all the lights.
