ADELINEIt's a warm sunny day. I walk down the street and see families playing, children laughing, dogs running.
There's a faint sound in the background of all this happiness. It's nagging me. It slowly grows louder and louder as I walk down the street.
Screaming.
I look ahead and see the lake, and the same two men. The sky turns dark and grey, and it starts raining. People are running, panicked. Everyone is bumping into me. I try running away but I can't move.
Why cant I move?
I look to my side and see Mavis and Emmiline screaming.
"Adeline help! Please help us!"
I cant move.
I look to my other side. Rowan and Lio, tied up.
"What are you doing Adeline!? Why won't you help us!?" Lio yells. He looks mad.
"Help us Adeline please just help!"
I cant move!
I try yelling but I can't talk either. I look in front of me and see the man. He lifts the gun and points it at my head.
He's going to kill me.
I scream loudly but no sound comes out.
The man puts his finger on the trigger.
He's going to kill me.
Just before he pulls it, he lifts his hand up. Smiles, and waves slowly, he pulls the trigger making a loud bang echo-
I jolt awake, a layer of sweat covering my entire body. I lift a shaky hand up to my forehead where the man shot me- or would've shot me, letting out a sigh of relief that there's no wound of any sort.
As I look around my dark room I realize that I don't want to be alone right now. So I turn on my bedside lamp and look around making sure there's no dark figures in the corners of my room before getting out of bed.
I throw on my fluffy pink robe that my grandma bought me and open my room door. I look into the dark hallway speed walk into the kitchen, quickly turning on the lights.
I look at the clock on the stove. 2:36 am. Who is usually awake at 2 am? Mavis.
I slip on a pair of my dads sandals that are by the front door and I go out quietly so I don't wake my parents.
Now I just have to make it to Mavis house.
