My vision went dark for a moment as I jolt up in my bed, heart pounding. I look around the room to find Emma, Natalie, and Jayce all sitting up with fear in their eyes.

I stand up and turn toward the door but Jayce's arm quickly pushes me away. He gestures for me to sit on my bed. Obediently, I sit down and watch him as he slowly opens the door, holding the knife he had used against my father earlier. He looks over to Emma and nods his head toward the door. She quickly grabs a knife from under her pillow and walks over and out the bedroom door, through the kitchen and into mom and fathers bedroom.

Jayce walked out after her as his eyes roamed the empty kitchen, looking for fresh blood. His soft eyes glanced back at me, asking for permission to go on. I hesitate, but slowly nod my head. In return he smiles and turns around, walking behind Emma and out of my sight.

I thought that everything was okay, until Emma's high-pitched squeal of fear echoed throughout the house, as my chest tensed up and my I felt a chill run down my back as cold as my fathers heart.
