"Emma." I turned, and my eyes met hers, sparkling with mirth.
She stood, lost in thought, her fingers tracing the pages of a familiar book.
"Again, reading my book?" I teased, strolling toward her.
Her cheeks flushed as she nodded.
"I'll always read yours, and you'll read mine," she said, her smile mischievous. "What's yours is mine, after all."
I chuckled, shaking my head.
"Yeah, but not my book boyfriend," I joked.
Her laughter echoed through the air.
"What if I say he's also mine?" Her eyes sparkled with playful defiance.
I closed the distance taking fast steps towards her
"Then I'll kill you," I whispered, my voice low and menacing.
Her eyes widened, her face pale. "No," she pleaded, her voice trembling.
But it was too late. My hand closed around the knife, and I felt a rush of adrenaline as I plunged it into her stomach.
Blood burst forth, splattering my face, warm and sticky. My hands shuddered, the knife slipping from my grasp.
"What have I done?" I screamed, horror etched on my face.
The world around me blurred, sounds muffled.
"Angel..." A distant voice called out, faint and desperate.
I spun around, my gaze scanning the chaos.
"Emma..." Another voice echoed, closer.
"Emily..." A third voice whispered, soft and urgent.
"Emily..." The name faded into the distance, leaving me disoriented.
My mind reeled, memories fragmenting. Who was calling me? Why?
I stumbled backward, the girl's lifeless body crumpling to the ground.
The knife lay beside her, glinting in the dim light. Blood pooled around us, a dark, spreading stain.
My hands shook, crimson-stained fingers trembling.
Panic set in, my breath coming in ragged gasps.
Suddenly, darkness closed in, and everything went black.
"Miles!" I gasped, jolting upright. My hands trembled, and my heart raced like a runaway train.
Sweat beads dripped from my forehead, chilling my skin. The silence of the room enveloped me, a stark contrast to the chaos in my mind.
Eric's calm gaze met mine, his eyes piercing in the dim light. He sat motionless, his presence a steadying force.
As reality seeped in, I realized it was just a dream – a bloody dream.
My chest heaved, struggling to slow my racing heart. The vivid images lingered, haunting me.
"Miles!" I whispered again, the name lingering on my lips.
