Three weeks later

The man slapped Moriah, she was tied to a chair and screamed in pain. The sound echoed through the old walls of the house.

The man grabbed her hair and forced her to look into his eyes. Those cold, horrible eyes.

Moriah cried. Alanis and Issac were sitting in the corner. Alanis was crying silently, with a passed out Issac in her arms. He was covered in blood and bruises.

Moriah swallowed the lump in her throat as the man violently let her go. She cried silently, her hair in her face.

The man walked back and forth and turned to Moriah. He grabbed something from his coat, and pointed at Moriah.

Moriah looked at her killer in the eyes, the man put the gun to her forehead.

Moriah shut her eyes tightly. She yelled, but no one could hear.
The trigger was pulled.

"MORIAH!"

Joel yelled. Luke jumped and ran to Joel's side.
"You woke up!"

Joel looked around, he was in a white hospital room.
"Moriah! Where is she?!"

Luke spoke in a clam voice.
"She's fine Joel, she and your kids are alright."
Joel fought back shaking his head.
"No! No they're not! They were kidnapped!"

Luke shook his head.
"They found them two weeks ago."
Joel gave a puzzled look.
"What do you mean?"

Luke sighed.
"You've been in a coma for three weeks."
Joel's eyes widened.
"But the man pointed the gun to her!"
Luke shook his head again.
"That was a dream, Moriah's okay."

Joel breathed heavily.
"Where are they?"
Luke looked down.
"In therapy."
Joel's eyes filled with tears.

He ripped off bandages and kicked to get up. His heart raced as he panicked.

Luke yelled and tried to keep Joel down.
"Joel! Stop!"
Joel shut his eyes and kicked.
"No! I need my family!"

The heart monitor beeped loud and fast, which was scaring Luke. He shook Joel, trying his best to calm Joel down.
"Joel! Please listen to me! They are okay!"

Joel shook his head and stopped. He sat there, staring at his hands and was quiet.
Then, he broke down crying, unable to stop.

"This is my fault, and I will be responsible and take the consequences. I should have given my life to save them from that nightmare. If I could just go back in time..."

Luke eyes widened and he screamed at Joel.
"Joel don't say that!"
Joel shrugged and looked down. He mumbled.
"Well, it's true."

Luke pressed his lips together and shook his head.
"You need help."
Joel nodded, still looking down.
"Yeah."

A doctor walked in.
She smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Smallbone, you are free to go, all we need to do is some paperwork."
Luke nodded, Joel just looked down.
