Hack my heart

Chapter Nine - Night terrors

Alisha

Pain

That's all I could comprehend was pain

I remember cutting my finger on a knife when I was younger when I was trying to make food because I was sick with hunger

This felt ten times worse the cut on my arms burned

"Did you really think you could rat me out and get away with it" he purred in my ear

I didn't reply my body was going into shock I was almost naked my body bound to a chair in our basement I remember when we first moved it

I was so dumb then so in love with a man who was using me

I couldn't look up from where he held the knife to my stomach

"ANSWER ME" he yelled making me flinch the knife bitting into my skin

"You were killing innocent people" I cried

"Good thing I got to you before your pathetic fingers could send through to the police" he growled and I looked up into the brown eyes I thought I had loved

TJ

"That's what you think" I hissed and he pulled the knife cutting into me I cried out the pain my blood soaking through my underwear

"Bitch" he said slapping my hard across the face and that's when the police finally decided to arrive carrying me out of that hole

"Alisha"

"Alisha!"

Finally I woke from my nightmare I wasn't being carried by the policeman I was being carried by Wrench who's mask showed worry my whole body was covered in sweat and he laid my down in my bed

"I was just taking you to bed and you started nearly having a fit in my arms scared the shit out of me" he said sitting beside me

"It was just a nightmare" I said finding myself out of breath

"Are you ok, do you want to tell me about it" he said tucking a stray hair behind my head

"I-I just need a shower" I said standing up on shaky legs he seemed defeated

"Just wait here" I said and rushed to the bathroom my body was shaking horribly i had these dreams occasionally always alone in my bed with no one to bring me out of them

I showered quickly thankful for the hot water

I dressed in a pair of shorts and shirt and went back to my room curious to see if Wrench had actually waited for me

And there he was lounged back on the bed feet crossed

Without saying anything I climbed into bed next to him and he stood up

"Wait" I said nervously

"Please stay for a little bit" I asked pulling the blankets over me I couldn't bare being alone right now

"Sure thing princess" he answered he was in a pair of jeans and hoody he pulled the hood back to reveal his scruffy blonde hair but his mask stayed firmly in place

"Remember how you asked me about my scar the other night" I said as he climbed into bed next to me silently lifting his arm for me to lay on his chest

"Yeah" he answered I took a breath

"Well, it has a lot to do with that ex I told you about" I admitted and I felt him stiffen

"Is that what you were dreaming about" he asked and I nodded his hoody soft under my face
