Millies POV:
I don't sleep very well that night. I toss and turn and when I sleep it's poorly. My dreams are haunted by ugly demons screaming at me that I'm not good enough, smart enough or pretty enough for Peter or anyone else for that matter.
I wake up with a gasp. Then I realizes it was all just a nightmare and my breathing begins to return to normal. I can't fall asleep again so I think about my nightmare. Maybe there's a bit of truth to it. Maybe I'm really not good enough for Peter. I really want to be though.
After an hour of tossing and turning I give up and get out of the bed. The clocks says 4.38 so it's still pretty early and since it's Sunday and I don't have any plans for the day there's nothing I have to get ready for. I sigh and decides to take a shower to kill some time.
The scalding water loosen up some of the tension in my neck.
I stay under the scalding water until my hands and feet are all wrinkled. Then I wrap a towel tightly around my body and one around my long hair and pace around in the quiet house.
Jessica is still sleeping soundly in the bed. We both woke up around 1 AM and almost crawled into bed.
I'd wish Jessica was awake right now so we could talk but I don't want to wake her up at this hour.
I think about yesterday. It was such a fun day full with smiles and happiness. I'd wish that every day could be just like that.
I sit down on a chair by the kitchen island and sigh. There's coffee brewing in the pot. I put my head down on the counter and take a deep breath. Suddenly I'm overwhelmed with a heavy sleepiness and within seconds I'm fast asleep.A man stands over me. Hovering. He seems to be endlessly tall. I can't even see his face. I'm frozen in place and every time I try to move the ground under my feet seems to start shaking violently. The man's voice books down towards me like thunder but I don't understand any of the words.
I think he wants me to do something but I haven't got any clue as to what it is he wants me to do. I am scared and still frozen in place. I've given up on trying to break free. The shaking ground makes me even more scared than I already am. My legs begin to shake underneath me and a few seconds later they collapse underneath me. I feel tears streaming down my cheeks. Do I cry all the time or what?
I let myself cry for a minute all the while ignoring the booming voice that hasn't stopped yet. Then I dry my cheeks and grind my teeth hard before pushing with all my power. I get up from the ground but just as I feel relieve wash over me for being able to move my entire body again I'm struck but something and a pain worse than anything I've ever felt curses through me. I look down and see a spear that went straight through my heart. I'm overcome with a pain that makes me go blind and then everything goes black and I wake up sitting in the kitchen gasping wildly for air.
I hear running steps behind me.
