A Sweet Nightmare Ch. 4

It was 9:32 at night. Jamie laying on the couch drifting to sleep. Jack carried her to her room and shut out the lights. Jamie rolled over in her sleep grabbing her one-eyed bunny plushie which she had named Cuddles.
-fades into a dream-
Jamie was running quickly through the graveyard. An evil laughter was getting closer to her. She hid behind a tombstone to catch her breath, but heard the laughter and started running again. Jamie swung the gate open to the plaza running towards her house. She pushed the gate which lead to her house, but the gate was locked. Breathing heavily, she yelled up to the tower.
"Mommy!!! Daddy!!!"
She heard the laughter again. Jamie looked over her shoulder to see if the monster was near, but didn't see anyone. Jamie tried to find someone to help her, but no one was in town.
"Mayor!? Behemoth!? Witches!?" she yelled out hoping for an answer.
"Where is everybody!?!?" she shouted. A shadow overlooked her. She turned around and everything went black.
-fades out of dream-
Jamie shot up in bed screaming. She ran up to her parents room, terrified of the nightmare she just had. Her screaming woke up Jack and Sally. Jamie clung onto Jack's arm still screaming. Jack and Sally finally calmed her down.
"Jamie! Sweetie, it was only a nightmare!" Sally said comforting her.
"But the shadow...and..." Jamie said out of breath.
"Baby, everything is fine. Just calm down and go back to sleep. It wasn't real." Jack told Jamie.
"But...I...oh." Jamie said a bit confused.
"See, it's all okay." Sally told her with a smile. She took Jamie back to her room.
"But what if I have the nightmare again?" Jamie asked.
"Well, if you do. Just tell yourself that it isn't real." Sally said.
"Ok" Jamie replied, sounding a bit worried.
Sally kissed her head and walked out of the room. Jamie hugged Cuddles and looked out her window. Why did she have such a weird dream? Maybe it meant something. These questions kept buzzing around in her head. She was getting tired again and fell back asleep. Jack started questioning Sally when she went back to bed.
"That must have been some dream to make her come screaming to us." said Jack.
"She was scared. And don't forget, she's only five." Sally answered.
"Yes, I know. And she said something about a shadow...I wonder what that was." Jack said thinking.
"I don't know, but it's over. It's 2 in the morning and I'm really tired." Sally said. They both when back to sleep. But Jack was thinking. What was the shadow? What could it have been?
