Jamie's feet pounded the ground as she fled through the darkness, terror gripping her heart. Tears streamed down her face, and the haunting screams echoed in her mind. But then, an unsettling silence fell.

She didn't dare slow down. The stillness only intensified her fear, and Jamie knew she was being stalked.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed in the distance. Jamie froze, desperately scanning her surroundings for an escape.

"Jamie," a low, ominous voice whispered, "you'll never escape." The chilling words repeated, surrounding her.

"You're one of us now."

A dark figure appears before her, and Jamie jolts awake, gasping as her alarm clock pierces the air.

Disoriented, she looked around the room, reassuring herself she was safe. After silencing the alarm, Jamie began her morning routine, her thoughts still reeling from the disturbing dream.

Staring at her reflection, she wondered why this nightmare had plagued her for weeks.

As she showered, Jamie's mind shifted to her upcoming business trip and the tasks awaiting her. Finishing her shower, she dressed and headed downstairs.

Ruby, her wife, groggily offered to make breakfast. Jamie gratefully accepted, savoring the quiet morning moment together.

After breakfast, Jamie completed her preparations, dressed in her suit and heels. She kissed Ruby goodbye and headed to her office.

Upon arrival, Jamie spotted a patient's car outside and exchanged warm greetings with her secretary. Preparing for her appointments, she called out to her waiting patient.

"Good morning, Mrs. Johnson. I'm ready to see you now."

Mrs. Johnson smiled warmly. "Isn't it a lovely morning?"

Jamie returned the smile, shaking off the lingering unease from her dream.
