I stare at the creature. It looks like a nine foot tall dark brown bear with razor sharp pearly white fangs and claws. "Back away slowly," I say, putting my hands out in front of me and slowly beginning to walk back.

The creature roared, a robotic screech filling the air, making me cover my ears and close my eyes. When the screeching stops, I look up to see the creature about to ponce on me, but instead falls back, a long knife in his back. Jaeyln stands behind it.

"What?" she asks.

"Nothing, but thanks," I say.

"It was nothing. I saw what needed to be done so I did." Ben suddenly wrapped his arms around her.

"Thank you for saving my sister," he says and Jaelyn smiles, pulling a lock of long wavy auburn hair out of her face.

"It was nothing."

"Thanks anyway," Ben says, pulling away from Jaelyn.

My eyes force open. The robotic bear thing again, but this time in my sleep. It killed Ben and the others, leaving me alone. Thankfully it was just a dream, a nightmare. I sigh and close my eyes.
