Warm Welcoming

Ella’s POV

Dream

Running, I was running down a hall or something like a hall being chased by something but I don’t know what, I turned around, a man? Why was I running from a man? A man with a beard, he was getting closer my heart is pounding in my chest what is going on with me?! My body reacted and I started to sprint down the hall again, passing all the windows I could see a deserted village outside, where was I? Far from home? Couldn’t be last time I checked I was in the car with Harry…. Oh god, wheres Harry! I started to race as fast as my legs would take me till I got to a door I pushed it open to see no one about, I felt a blow to my head causing me to fall down onto the sandy ground, where the hell am I. I looked up at my attacker and it was the man who was chasing me down the hallway I know this man from somewhere, he had dark skin and a beard with the most piercing brown eyes that burned into my skin as he raked his eyes up and down my body, I felt so naked under his stare I wanted to vomit.

“Such a beautiful prize we have, too bad your brothers time is up, they couldn’t be bothered to pay us the money, so now, you pay for their debt.” He spoke in an evil dark tone as he pulled out a pocket knife, my eyes widened as the blade glistened in the sunlight, I tried to get away but he pulled my ankle causing me to fall back as he pulled me more closer, I tried to kick but then felt something pierce the skin of my ankle and  searing pain over came my body causing me to let out a blood curdling scream as the pain paralyzed my body, I could feel his greasy hands on my jeans tugging at them to come down, I tried to kick him off me but he dug the knife into my sides causing me to scream in pain again,

“Do that again and I’ll kill you, lay still, you’ll enjoy this, beautiful princess” he laughed and pulled my jeans down.

“HELP!” I jumped up screaming,

“Ella?” Harry asked instantly pulling me closer, my breathing was heavy and I was panting as I looked around me I was still in the car, in England, with Harry. I relaxed in my brothers arms and wiped the sweat from my forehead.

“Ella whats wrong?” Harry asked,

“Nothing just a bad dream”

“What was it of?”

“Me being chased by someone, then he tried to kill me” my voice shook as I spoke,

“It was just a dream Ella it’s okay I’m here” Harry held me tightly as I shook in his arms,

“How far are we?”

“10 minutes” he spoke, I looked out towards the window seeing the country side, I guess I just slept the whole four hours away. I wiped the sweat off my forehead still trying to calm my breathing,

“Where are we?” I asked looking outside again, all I could see was fields and trees,

“South Wales, our Grandma is at her little cottage right in Swansea she wanted us to pop up for a visit” he spoke as the car pulled up into a small city I knew then I was far from home but at least I was with Harry and seeing a relative not being captive like in my dream, I sighed and got up from my laying position and rearranged my hair pulling it up into a neat ponytail and fixed my shirt,

“I slept the whole way?” I asked,

“Yeah, up until you started whimpering in your sleep, then you started to scream before you woke up”

“Oh”

“What was the dream about Ella? Who was chasing you?” he rubbed my back through my sweat drenched clothes,

“Nothing, just like a re-make of a movie” I lied, well partly lied, it was sort of like a re-make of a film but not entirely.

“You sure?” god I hated lying but I had to I didn’t want to worry Harry,
