"You still need to take those?" Antony looks up at me.
I nod. The pills help me remember. And if I can remember fully, I can remember that woman's face. I'm so close. I have to know. It burns my skin. It rattles my mind. I need to know who she was that day. I swallow the pill and chug a glace of water.
I get into the bed.
"Hope you have sweet dreams mister." Antony hugs me.
"Good night love." I say.
"I want a story." He looks up at me.
He gives me puppy eyes.
"Alright..." I say.
I stand up. It takes about an hour anyway for the pill to take effect.
"What story my dear?" I ask looking at the bookshelf.
"Sleeping beauty." He says.
I roll my eyes.
"I've read you that story about five times now." I sigh.
"Please???!!" He begs.
"Oh alright." I sigh.
He scoots over. I open the book. He cuddles up beside me.
"Once upon a-" I start.
*Growl* *Grrrr*
"What was that?" Antony asks.
I stand up. The noise...
*Growl!* *Howl!*
My eyes widen. I open the curtains. A wolf. I draw back. My hands start shaking. I grip the curtains. I look at it. It stares back at me. It bares its teeth as it was that day. Screams flood into my ears. No. No. No. They've come for me.
"What is it?" Antony asks.
"She's waiting for you." The wolf growls.
My heart freezes. The wolf's mouth dripped in blood. It attacked something. My hands shake. Sweat pours down my face. I was tempted to scream. Antony grabs me. I look at him in surprise.
"There's nothing there." He points.
"What?" I breathe.
The dog. It's gone. I let out a breath. Was it just an illusion?
"Let's get you to bed. I can continue." I say.
"Yes please." Antony smiles.
