Author's Note

Hey my loves! Here is another update hope you enjoy! Xx

Harry's POV

I was lying in bed watching C.S.I: Criminal Scene Investigation with the volume muted. Elizabeth was peacefully asleep next to me; the only light that shining the room was coming from the TV.  Elizabeth has been asleep for a couple of hours; I on the other hand, cannot manage to go to sleep. Deep down I know it has to do with the time zone and, now, the not so brilliant idea of devouring down chocolate before bed.

The show ended and I roll my eyes as soon as a commercial popped in the screen. Why do the commercials always have to be the same?

There was a peaceful silence in the room that was slightly now broken by Elizabeth mumbling. I thought she might have woken up and wanted something; I  turn my head but find her still sleeping. She was sleeping on her side facing me, her hand resting on the pillow beside her flawless face, which was slightly illuminated by the changing colors coming from the TV. My brows subconsciously pull together when I see her face filled with tension, there were small lines on her forehead as she frowned and whimpered.

Elizabeth's POV

All around was darkness, I could see nothing and I'm not sure if it was because I'm locked in a dark room or something is covering my face. I'm sitting in a chair and I try to move my hands from off the arm rests but something was putting pressure against them so I couldn't pull them apart. I heard a ear piercing, skin crawling, scream making me jump in my chair. A few seconds later I hear a door open before it being slammed shut, the sound radiating against the walls. Slow, yet evenly paced footsteps echoed off the floor coming closer and closer and I feel myself starting to get nervous.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" I hear a voice ask, a voice I recognize but my scattered and confused mind couldn't pin point who it was.

"Funny, you never expected it to be me huh?" He asks.

"How do I know if i never expected it to be you if I can't see who you are?" I state. I hear him laugh.

"That smart mouth is only going to get you in trouble sweetheart. Then again, it could be brought to good use." I scowl even though I can't see him, bile forming in my throat and I swallow.

I gasp and jump in my seat feeling fingers touch my upper arm before feeling something pinch into my skin making me wince.

"What the hell?" I whisper under my breath.

"Let's see how long you last." He says, his voice low and menacing with a hint of humor and satisfaction.

I feel something being removed from my head before blinking my eyes open. The only light that was shining was the small light bulb above cascading down on me. I look up at him trying to see who it was but his face was covered with a grey hood making his face hide with shadows. I narrow my eyes as he takes a step closer. As he does I see dark eyes and an evil satisfied grin with sharp teeth; it's so chilling that I start to scream.

"Jesus, Ellie!" Harry is shaking me awake. "Elizabeth, wake up!"

I gasp jolting awake. Harry's hands are wrapped around my wrists holding them so I wouldn't hit him. I blink disoriented, frantically glancing around the too.

"Are you okay baby?" He asks releasing my wrists before leaning over switching on the lamp so we are bathed with the dim light. "You were having a nightmare."

"Oh." I say my voice barely audible.

"What were you dreaming of?" He asks.

"I-i don't know." I shake my head trying to decipher my thoughts.
