Monica P.O.V

"Dad!" I screamed out clinging to him.

"Monica I need you to go with Roxanne and your Aunt Emma! NOW!" he yelled pushing me back slightly.

"No but dad!" I screamed throwing myself towards him again.

He held me back "Monica there's no time! GO! NOW! HURRY!" he yelled at me desperately yet firmly.

"No dad, no" I started to choke out sobs "I'm scared!"

"Monica, I need you to be strong, can you do that for me darling? Can you be strong for me? Just for a little while, I have to go back for your sister and mother. Please Monica, just please, get to safety" he pleaded urgently.

I shook my head "Dad don't go!" I begged digging my fingers into his arm.

He forced me to let go of him and pushed me back towards Emma and Roxanne, "Get her to a safe place! Promise me you'll take care of her!" he said sternly to Aunt Emma.

She nodded and gripped me back "Yes," she barely whispered.

"Promise me Emma! Promise me you won't let anything happen to them," he looked at me and Roxanne.

Aunt Emma jumped from the intensity of his voice and gripped us to her harder "I promise Alex," she whispered.

Dad gave me one final look and he quickly kissed my head "I'll be right back, stay strong for me" he whispered and took off running back towards the room.

"No! Wait! Dad! Dad!" I yelled trying to go after him but Roxanne grabbed me and held on like a vice.

We all heard it then, a sound so loud, like a small explosion had gone off.

The whole place shook and Aunt Emma rushed us to the helicopter, "Wait! We have to wait for them!" I screamed looking back.

"There's no time Monica! We have to go!" she pushed me into the helicopter.

"My sisters and dad are still in there!" I yelled back.

We then heard the horrible scream, a chilling high pitched scream that was suddenly cut off.

A scream so shrieking that it absolutely left me trembling, left my heart in a pounding mess.

"Monica! Monica!" someone kept repeating my name.

But I didn't know who, all I could wonder was who that screamed belonged to?

My mother? My sister?

"Monica! Monica!"

I woke up with a start and shot straight up realizing that I had woken up not because of my dream, but because someone kept repeating my name.

"Monica?" Roxanne whispered "Are you okay?" she asked worriedly.

I realized my breathing was coming out all ragged and I quickly tried to quiet down so I wouldn't scare her.

"Yes," I cleared my throat "I'm okay" I told her, I could barely see her in the dim room but her eyes were as wide as pans.

"Were you having a bad dream?" she whispered.
