Somniphobia

Chapter 53. Sleepwalking nightmare

Aria POV
I woke up to the loud sound of rain and thunder rumbling loudly in the night sky. I turned onto my side scooting closer towards Caleb for comfort but I realized he wasn't in the bed.

I felt around the bed with my hand searching for him. "D-Daddy?" I called for him desperately and worriedly. Tears formed in my eyes due to the loud thunder rumbling so loudly from outside.

I carefully got down from the bed with my stuffed animals in my arms, holding them tightly for emotional support. I walked out the room into the dark hallway.

I turned on the light in the hallway before making my way downstairs carefully. "D-Daddy!" I called for him once more. I made my way towards the living room when I noticed the tv was on and someone was sitting on the couch.

"C-Caleb?" I asked questionably as I reached for the switch to turn on the lights but the light wouldn't turn on. The thunder roared louder from outside causing me to flinch out of fear.

I turned the switch on and off to try to get the lights to cut on but nothing just darkness yet the tv was somehow still playing. "W-Who a-are y-you?" I asked the person sitting on the couch knowing it wasn't Caleb because this person had long dark hair.

The person stood up from the couch slowly it was a woman. She slowly turned around my eyes widened in pure terror as I quickly realized it was Elizabeth standing before me.

"Don't look at me like that sweetheart. You didn't actually think you could get rid of me and your father now did you?" She asked with an amusing expression on her face.

"Y-Yo-Your a-alive?" I asked confused. "Well of course I am I'm not going to let you win someone has to teach you a lesson you ungrateful whore." She said bitterly.

"G-Get o-out o-of m-my h-house y-your n-not w-welcome h-here." I told her sternly in the most confident tone I could gather myself to have.

"Now, now sweetheart I just got here I came for revenge I'm not going to leave that easily." She taunted. "H-Haven't y-you d-done e-enough t-to m-me l-leave m-me a-alone a-already!" I yelled angrily.

"Poor you." She replied with a lack of sympathy. "I know your pregnant I've come to ruin that for you." She added. "F-For w-what?" I asked confused by what she meant ruin my pregnancy.

"Oh it's quite simple darling, when I had you I regretted it so deeply I wish I aborted you the day I found out I was pregnant. So I'll just help you get rid of yours to save you the hassle and stress." She explained.

She began walking towards me I quickly turned around running towards the front door. "C-Caleb!" I screamed for him desperately. "C-Caleb!" I ran towards the front door quickly unlocking the door.

As soon as I opened the door I tried running outside but was quickly stopped. "God your fucking pathetic." Andrew gritted out angrily as he grabbed me by my arm roughly and tightly dragging me back into the house.

"C-Caleb!" I screamed louder for him. "S-Stop p-please m-my b-babies I-innocent d-don't h-hurt m-my b-baby p-please!" I begged through sobs as he pushed me in front of Elizabeth.

"You were going to let that bastard kill us now you can suffer even more when we kill your pathetic baby." Andrew said angrily while handing Elizabeth a huge kitchen knife.

Elizabeth pushed me towards Andrew, he held me firmly against himself making me face Elizabeth as she held the huge kitchen knife in her hand. "I'm going to celebrate when I finish killing you and your pathetic baby." She said tauntingly.

"P-Please s-stop!" I sobbed desperately. "C-Caleb!" I screamed for him once more. "He's not going to save you this time." Andrew said. Elizabeth held up the knife aiming directly for my stomach.
