Riley's P.O.V.

I was sitting in the middle of the woods, I stood up to get a better look around the area wondering how I got here. as i'm walking I hear the crunch and snaps of someone walking on fallen leaves and twigs, I tense the person stops walking, neither of us say anything. I hesitantly turn around to see who it is, what i'm faced with is a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, but not just any blonde it's Maya! 

"Maya?!" I say confused and excited, she doesn't say anything, she just stares blankly at me not saying anything. "Maya, where have you been I missed you!" I said as I moved forward to pull her into a hug but as I did that, she disappeared.

"what?" I shouted in confusion I looked around I was alone again, "Maya?" I called out over and over as I walked around in search of the blonde. as I was walking I tripped over something, of course.

as I looked back at what I tripped over wasn't a what but a who. 

"Maya?" a said horrified she was lying there surrounded in pool of blood, as I went to see where it was coming from something started to pull me back, I struggled and fought in an attempt to get back to Maya. but it was no use I screamed as I was dragged into darkness...

I woke screaming, my parents rushed into the room. 

"Oh my god Riley are you okay!" my mom said as she rushed toward me and pulled me into a hug, 

"Riley what's wrong why are you screaming at three in the morning?" my dad asked. I looked into my lap.

"I had nightmare." I said quietly, 

"do you want to talk about it?" my mom asked, I nodded my head. I explained the dream to them, trying to speak clearly through my sobs, when I finished telling them about my dream they both pulled me into a hug, 

"you're okay Riley, your safe" my dad whispered comfortingly, I nodded as my parents ended the embrace. 

"can you guys stay here with me?" I whispered weakly. my dad nodded as my mother said 

"of course." I moved over to the middle of the bed with just enough space for both of my parents on each side of me, they climbed into bed next to me. 

"goodnight mom, Dad. I love you." 

" we love you too, goodnight" my mom said 

"goodnight." my dad said kissing my forehead.

I was woken by my dad shaking me, 

"Riley you need to get up you have school." I rolled over and buried my face into my pillow, 

"I don't want to get up." I stated, my voice muffled by the pillow. 

"You gotta get up." my father said pulling my blanket off my bed, with I huff I got up 

"fine" I said in an annoyed tone, 

"good now get dressed." he said victorious. I just rolled my eyes and walked into my closet to get dressed. as I was grabbing my clothes I started to think about my dream, what did it mean? I thought as I changed into my clothes for the day, once I finished my mom called me for breakfast.

after breakfast I walked out of my apartment toward the subway, as I was standing on the platform waiting for the train I could feel someone watching me. but when I looked around there was no one except the others waiting for the subway, as I turned back around the train arrived. I walked onto the subway and sat down. still feeling like I was being watched, but again there was no one, I shrugged and looked down into my lap as the train started moving.
