In Darkness and In Light

Firing line

I was running...

Running for my life. Running for my babies life as I clutched my stomach almost falling into a wall.

Looking over my shoulder a figure stalked towards me, the fear coming off me could be felt miles away.

Spinning around the corner, I was knocked down onto the floor when hands grabbed my wrists and they were being bound together by tape.

"NO! NO PLEASE!" I cried trying to pull my hand apart, twisting and pulling at the tape. But they didn't move, only pinched at my skin making it even more painful.

My body was being dragged back by my shoulders as I kicked and tried to wrap my feet around anything I could see.

I was then thrusted into a seat, rope went around my chest and legs as I tried to struggle out of the chair but it was no use.

I cried loudly pulling and shaking to try and get free. I needed to get out!

A groan emitted making my cries stop as I focused around the dark area until I found him.

"No, no. No! Zak!" I cried struggling even harder seeing his bloodied face and bound body.

"I told you Robyn. You can't run.." a voice spoke making my head whip around.

"Leave us alone! Just let him go! It's me isn't it? It's me you want?! Just spare him!" I sobbed.

"Why? He's caused you so much pain? I could take it all away..."

I shook my head "No. no I don't want that. Please, I'll do anything you want. Just leave him alone, don't hurt him anymore."

A laugh echoed around me as I continued to struggle in my seat.

"He doesn't love you, in fact he is going to leave you..."

"You're lying."

"Am I?" The voice asked.

"This is all just a dream... This is all just a dream, I need to wake up. Wake up Robyn. Wake up!" I urged squeezing my eyes shut.

"Hey Robyn? Wanna see a trick?"

I opened my eyes to see Zak waking up. "R-Robyn? What's happening?"

"Zak? Oh god baby. I'm sorry. Just.. just stay calm okay. You're gonna be okay." I promised.

"You shouldn't make promises you can't keep!" A voice yelled.

Zak looked at me confused "Who- who's that? Where are we?"

"Ready for a magic trick?" The voice asked.

"No! Just leave us alone!" I yelled.

"3....."

"Robyn. Robyn someone has my head."

"2...."

"I love you. Roo listen to me."

"Zak it's gonna be okay."

"1!"

A loud crunch echoed as Zak's neck snapped leaving me screaming.

--------

"NOOOOO!"

"Robyn! Robyn look at me!" Bacon yelled in my face as I sat bolt up right on the bed.

My breathing was rapid as a cool sweat trickled down my face, I instantly looked for Zak.

"Zak.. Zak. Where's Zak? Zak?! Zak!!" I cried kicking the bedding off me.
