ROCHELLE

They dragged us to the back of the woods.

The backyard was decorated. There were candles that made a pathway to an altar. There was a symbol of a crescent moon dug deep into the dirt next to the altar.

It would have been romantic if there were some life and joy in this event. But unfortunately, there wasn't. There was no plant life, so no flowers. Everything was withered or dead, including the grass. Plus the fact that the Nightmares were surrounding us.

There were shadows everywhere like they were guests at a wedding. There were chatter and laughter but it brought chills down your spine.

Nightmares. They were all here.

Totally ruined the mood.

"My fellow Nightmares!" Derrick bellowed.

"Today is the night we will claim what is rightfully ours. Once this bond is complete, we will rule over the humans and the Somnias will be no more!" He shouted.

The shadows roared in agreement. Terror filled me. This can't be happening.

Rochelle!

I jumped a little and held in a sigh of relief from the voice in my head. 

Cole?

I'm coming soon. Kyle and I are coming for you. Where are you?

We are at the back of the house, it's connected to the woods. There is a stream next to us. Cole, Derrick is planning on bonding with me again. Dylan is here and Derrick going to kill Sabrina! Please hurry!

Why is Dylan there? Nevermind, don't worry my love, we will be there in a few minutes. Try to stall.

Stall? How the hell am I supposed to do that?

Sabrina was put in the front row while the waiter from the restaurant pushed me to the front. An idea flashed in my head and I maneuvered my body to fall on my stomach.

"Ow!" I yelped. The sensation felt worse from Victoria's kick earlier on my stomach.

It's time to be an Oscar actress again.

"Ow! Damn it." I cried.

Derrick ran up to me and inspected me. He totally fell for it.

"Baby! Are you alright?" He panicked.

I sniffled and pretended to sob.

"H-he pushed me!" I cried as I point to the waiter. 

For a few moments, Derrick tried to comfort me while I kept fake sobbing.

"Oh, whatever slut. Get up." Victoria snapped.

Girl, please.

Derrick pulled me up. He pulled me tightly to him.

"I love your outfit, Rochelle. Maybe this time we can really have a fun time," he said huskily and ran his hand down my back to the swell of my bottom.

I think I'm going to throw up.

"Everybody, start the chant to begin the ceremony!" Derrick shouted to the Nightmares.
