//Sprout's dream POV//

I'm having the strangest dream... I'm in the middle of the woods...

... is that... mom?

It's like when she ran from us yesterday...

I think she's lost.

...

...

... Is that bush... glowing?

She's approaching it.

I try to scream for her to stay back, but she can't here me.

I can't make sound here.

Where am I?

THUD-

Wait.

Where did she go?

I look down, and notice a hole, a deep one.

No...

NO!

I approach the hole...

...

...

It's her.

She's dead.

I begin to cry as I am frozen, viewing my mother's mutilated corpse.

This can't be real...

I NEED TO WAKE UP!

I hear her scream.

Over and over.

Her final moment.

Over. And over. And over.

This can't be real.

How am I hearing her scream if she's already dead in the hellish nightmare!?

It's all I can hear.

I try to cover my ears but the sound won't stop.

make it stop.

MAKE IT STOP.

GOD DAMNIT!

With all of my strength I scream. I just need to scream. I need to hear myself.

//Sprout is now awake, changing to Hitch's POV//

I wake up to Sprout screaming in his sleep, crying and shaking.

I hold him close to me in an attempt to comfort him.

"Sprout?"

He screamed, and sat up.

"OH MY GOD. SHES DEAD!"

"What?"

"My mom is dead."

"Don't say that, we haven't found her yet."

"But my nightmare..."

"It's only a nightmare, I promise."

"Okay. Could you sit up with me for a little bit though? I'm still a little shook up..."

"Of course, anything for you love."

We held each other and fell asleep in each others arms.

Goodnight.

Hello readers! I know this chapter is short. To be fair, chap.12 is WAY TOO LONG. Anyways. If you have any thoughts on my writing, feel free to comment below! Thank you!
