Calum POV.

I walk back to the living room. When I walk in, I see the other boys watching tv. I sit down on the couch next to them. "I hope she'll feel at home soon," I say with a sigh.

"So do I," Luke agrees.

Suddenly I remember something. "She had a scared look in her eyes, back in the orphanage," I say. "She said she had forgotten something, but I don't think she was telling the truth."

"And she also acted weird during the drive," Ashton adds. "She looked very nervous."

"Yes, I noticed it too," I say, "but I have no idea what was going on."

We keep talking like that until we hear a loud scream.

I jump. "Was that Sofie?" I ask and start making my way towards her room. When I open the door I see Sofie crying on her bed, while shaking in fear. I want to walk over to her, but then she stops crying all of a sudden.

Should I still wake her up? She's peacefully asleep, so I don't think that'll be necessary...

Eventually I walk back to the others.

"How was she doing?" Michael asks.

"I think she had a nightmare, but she's peacefully asleep again." I think for a moment. "The woman in the orphanage said we had to think carefully before adopting Sofie. Why did she say that? Is it because she doesn't sleep well?" I ask, talking out loud.

"There's still a lot about her we don't know, but don't worry about it too much, we'll find out as soon as it's time," Luke says and I nod.

I look at the clock and see it's 11 o'clock. "I think I'm going to sleep."

"Are you going to bed already?" Michael asks clearly surprised.

"Yes, I don't have to do anything and I'm tired of today, so I'm just going to bed."

"Okay, sleep well," he says.

I say goodbye and leave to my room. When I pass Sofie's room, I quickly glance around the corner of the door. She's still asleep, so I carefully close the door again.

When I reach my own room, I quickly undress and lay down on the bed.

Luke is right, I have to be patient with Sofie. But I just want to know so bad. I want to know all about her. Why she looked so scared and how she came into the orphanage. But I have to be patient and wait.

The next day.

I wake up to the same scream as the one I heard yesterday. As fast as I can, I get up and run to Sofie's room. She's still laying on the bed, but her body is vibrating and her breathing sounds awful. What is going on? I run over to her and try to calm her down, but nothing works.

Sofie POV.

I dreamed about Lucas. He said he had come back for a reason. To punish me. He told me he was angry, because our parents didn't give hi, enough attention after my birth. Then he started hitting me and I woke up. And now I'm here, laying on the bed, but I can't get the dream off my mind.

I suddenly start to panic. What if this dream comes true? What can I do? I live in one house with Lucas, so what if I can't flee? I start to sweat. Tears fall from my cheeks as I feel my breathing getting faster. My body starts to shake and a terrible pain spreads inside my head. What's happening and how can I stop it? It has to stop!

I feel a warm had on my back and a voice whispering things, but I can't hear them clearly enough to understand. The pain inside my head is getting stronger and I can't see clearly anymore. Everything is circling around me and my breathing only gets worse. I can't control myself anymore!
