It Lives No More

Overcoming True Horror

Isaac's POV

Hurrying to Redwater with that vision, the vision with the others being trapped by their own minds, with the thing they feared the most. The one that got to me was with Zinnia being trapped in a wooden coffin, the time spent with her trying to overcome it but failed. Her waking up in cold sweat every time thinking she's back in that coffin. Nights were the hardest for both of us, with the panic attacks and freaking out every time she thinks about it, hated the way she felt so helpless thinking she's going through it alone. Even now with what I saw, Zinnia in the box and there's no way we're going to make it in time.

"Isaac I need you to stay calm!"

"Calm? You want me to stay calm after seeing Zinnia is trapped in a wooden coffin again?! No! I can't! The nights of her waking up, terrified thinking she's going to be back there, I felt her pain and fear, I always wake up of that nightmare, almost getting my fingers chapped off and almost dying. This is huge and I'm not there to help her!"

"You see her in the wooden coffin? What did Noah show you? Was it real? Or was it in her mind?"

"Parker."

"Just think about it, I had that experience whenever I find myself in that situation. Thinking I'm seeing the chief and telling me how useless I am. Pulling out his weapon and it would appear over and over until I found myself trying to fight it. It's not real, it's just a nightmare, just in my mind. My mind is playing tricks on me."

"How long has that been going on? How long have you been experiencing that for?"

"A year now. I didn't want to say anything because I wanted to be strong for you guys but the more I ignored it, the more I continued to see Abe, the more my health started to mess up, I almost pulled out my gun on my stepson when he was just hanging out in his room, you saw the others experiencing the same thing, experiencing the fears they're facing, than they have to fight it. We won't be able to make it in time, so they have to do it on their own."

"They won't be able to. What they faced was a lot to them, however I know they can overcome it no matter how terrified it was. Zinnia has to overcome it on her own without me there. Helping her, ah man, now I'm freaking out."

"Same here but remember, we can beat this."
Both of them jumped by the sound of a phone call, it was coming from Isaac's phone and it was from Danni.

"What's going on, Danni? Where are you right now?"

"On my way back to Redwater with Storm and Devon, I left to get some information about your little mayor but failed to as I was experiencing some bad headaches, something's happening and everyone is feeling it."

I can hear Storm's voice, "Hey Issac, listen up. Ava managed to get some new information and learned something new that's going to be wild."

"Yeah I bet. Just tell us."

"We can handle the crazy and what you going to tell us won't change anything. Especially with what's happening."

"Just tell us, Storm."

"Instead of the original six months... We have two months and we don't have a lot of time. Connor has been really struggling in the hospital and Stacy says if he's getting worse, than they might not be able to help him. Lily was in the hospital for a broken arm, Dan had a panic attack that left him unable to breath, listen, we can't waste any time, we have to act now. We have to take down the mayor and do something about Noah. Ava said he's hurting and we have to act now."

"Yeah that's not frightening, okay so where's the others?"

"Ava, Andy and Josslyn are on their way to Redwater. But haven't heard from them in an hour, what about you guys?"
