Lacey's dream

"Dad can you hear me?!" I scream kneeling over my dad as he lays in a puddle of his own crimson blood. "No,No,No! Dad please wake up. Don't leave me please!" I beg as I rip his shirt open reviling a deep cut in his abdomen.

I apply pressure to the wound checking his pulse as I feel the slow thud of his pulse. I count "1•••2," but it stops and his last breathe escapes his lips in a slow sigh.

A sob escapes my quivering lips. "I'm sorry that I couldn't do better for us dad, I really am this never should of happened." I whisper.

I feel like I let him down, but in a way I know he has been waiting for this moment forever and that he would of already been gone if not for my mom.

I wipe a tear that floods over my eye smearing blood in the process. I place his hands on his chest and stand up forcing myself not to look at him.

I walk outside grabbing a machete and start running to my uncles hut. I burst in his hut turning in a quick circle looking for him. Nothing.

I leave his hut and look to the ground noticing his boot print heading into the forest. I follow them hurriedly. I look up hearing a ear splitting scream. I see my uncle stabbing my mother repeatedly . My eyes close at the sight and I scream with her gripping my chest.

"Mom," I scream and stand up as my body starts to shake. She looks over to me. Blood dripping from her mouth and regret in her eyes.

Before I register what's happening she falls to the ground leaving me and my uncle staring at her unmoving form. I look up and my uncle looks at me with a murderous look in his eyes. I use the rest of my energy and run away.

I stop back at the village and grab my bag and guns before running into the forest. I run with with everything I have until all my energy is gone.

I stop and drop to my knees. I lay down as the crying starts. I don't remember how long I cry, but I can't really say because I passed out.

End of dream

I wake up with a screech and tears running down my face. I lean up and whips them away before realizing I'm not alone. I hide my emotions and look over seeing Trey standing up and taking small steps towards me. My eyes widen as I suck in a breath.
