Locked in.

ELLIE's POV

My eyes shoot open as I hear a sound coming from the hallway. I look to my left and find Michael, fast asleep.

No one else is in the room, but I hear someone outside our room.

I slowly get up, careful not to wake Michael. I tip-toe over to the curtain and slowly peek out.

Standing there, sifting through papers, was Kevin; the murderer from the grocery store.

The one that tried to kill Michael.

I gasped, which made him look at me. He smiled.

"Hey, Ellie. Long time no see!" He says.

I stay completely quiet.

"Awh common, don't look at me like that. It's just me." He offers.

I don't say a word.

"How's Mike?" He asks.

I accidentally glance behind me, giving away where Michael is.

Kevin picks up on it and grins a sinister, bone chilling smile.

"Oh no..." I mumble.

"Oh yes." Says Kevin as he speed walks past me, into our room.

Michael continues to snore as Kevin walks closer to him. I'm frozen in fear.

I start to scream, but Kevin turns around. "Sweetheart, I really don't want to have to kill you, too."

So i stay quiet as Kevin pulls out a knife and slowly waves it in front of Michael's peaceful face.

"Please don't." I pipe up.

That sets Kevin off.

He quickly stabs the knife into Michael's heart, making him scream out in agony.

"MICHAEL!" I scream.

"ELLIE! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" Someone yells.

What?

I wake up and realize I'm screaming and crying and kicking everywhere.

Michael's at my side shaking me and yelling for me to wake up.

"ELLIE! WAKE UP! IT'S OK, I'M RIGHT HERE!"

I grab him and pull him into my arms, crying and soaking his shirt in my tears.

"I thought I lost you." I sniff.

"It was just a dream. You're ok. I'm here." He coos.

My family, the Barlow's, and Ben are standing outside watching intently. Michael follows my gaze.

"You were screaming for me, so I came. They didn't want to disturb you." He smiles.

I pull back from him arms and check the time.

6:30 pm.

I'm really hungry, and my stomach growls to let everyone know.

Everyone starts laughing as I blush, standing up to follow everyone downstairs to get some food.
