Chapter twenty nine: Old wounds still Bleed
Judy awoke in the middle of the night. She looked at the alarm clock, it was black. Confused she pulled the string on her bedside lamp. It didn't turn on, the power must be out. Suddenly she noticed she was alone in the bed.
"Nick?" Judy called out
She saw that their bedroom door was cracked open, they always closed it before bed.
"Nick?!" Judy called out louder.
Judy crawled out of bed, she looked out the crack in door and saw nothing but darkness. She was in nothing but a over sized T-shirt and underwear so she grabbed her robe. She put it on and opened the door the rest of the way. Nervously she grabbed the flashlight off her utility belt and turned it on. What she saw horrified her. Claw marks covered the floor and walls of their house. They led down stairs, worried for Nick she followed them.
"Nick where are you?" Judy whispered
Her and Nick's cell phone were in the kitchen charging, she had to get one of them and call the ZPD. She walked down stairs and saw that everything had been torn apart.
"What the hell?" Judy said to herself
She heard something moving around in the living room. She shined her light but couldn't see what it was. Panicked she went for the door but it wouldn't open. The thought of calling the ZPD popped back into her head. She raced to the kitchen, she grabbed her phone.
"Damnit" Judy said seeing it was dead
She grabbed Nick's phone, it was alive, but there's no signal. Suddenly Judy heard something behind her. She nervously turned around, standing on all fours was Nick, his eyes screamed blood lust.
Nick lunged at her with growl "Nick No!" Judy screamed.
"Judy!" Nick yelled as he sat up in the bed. His heart was racing and he was in a cold sweat.
"What is it Nick?"
Nick looked toward the master bathroom. Judy was dripping wet in a towel peeking out from the doorway, he could hear the shower running.
"Nothing Carrots." Nick said trying to get the nightmare out of his head.
"Are you sure?" Judy asked
"Yeah I'm okay" Nick replied
"Okay well start getting ready soon, we have to be at the precinct soon." Judy said returning to the bathroom.
Nick got up and began changing into his uniform. The image of him attacking Judy still fresh in his mind, but not from the dream, it was when he was in Vlads warehouse and he went savage. It didn't make sense to him, he hadn't thought about that night in months. Nightmares were no stranger to him, he had them leading up to him confessing his love to Judy. But now he was the one killing her in his nightmares.
"Nick? Hey Nick are you with me?" Judy said waving her paw in front of Nick's eyes.
"Huh oh yeah, sorry Carrots. What did you say?" Nick said smiling down at Judy who was in her uniform pants and a white tank top.
She just looked at him with a painful look on her face. He was worried that she had just said something important and was feeling like he was ignoring her.
"What is it Carrots?" He asked
"I should be asking you that Nick." She said crossing her arms
"What do you mean?" Nick said trying to divert Judy's statement.
"What do I mean? You wake up screaming my name, you look like you've seen a ghost, and now you trying to dodge talking to me about it. So tell me what's going on, are you hiding something from me?" Judy asked
