Criminal 20: he was taken away.

“When I take Zach away from you, when I take Zach away from you, when I take Zach away from you, when I take Zach away from you,”

She words was echoing in my head again and again, the voice won’t stop, I can see her wicked smile, I can see her eyes, her voice, everything! I was I a dark place, all I can see is a white light in front of me.

I clenched my hand, then soft warm hands held my one hand, I turned around, Zach was smiling at me,

“Zach…” I said, he smiled at me and let go if my hand, he started walking in the light in front of me. “Zach?” i called but he didn’t turn around. My heart starts to beat fast.

“Zach! Zach!” I called and fallowed him, but I can’t reach him, a hand came out of nowhere in my feet and started pushing in the ground, the ground was eating me! More hands came out and push me in the ground.

“ZACH! ZACH!” I shouted. But he can’t hear me, then I saw Lena in the light, she held Zach hand and pushes him in the light with her!

A scream filled the house. Zach came in rushing.

“what happen?” he asked in concern, when he saw me crying in the corner of the bed he froze, he started to step close to me and sit beside me. “Hey… what happen?” he asked.

I lifted my head, when I saw him, I started to burst crying and hugged him, “make her go away, make here go away…” I said. “She’s a devil, make her go away…” I added.

He hugged me back tightly. “Everything’s going to be alright, I promise you that Hara,” he said in a soft voice. “It’s just a dream Doll, no need to be afraid.”

“It was a nightmare! A nightmare! Please don’t leave me Zach! Don’t make her take you away, I can’t take that...” I said crying in his chest.

“Of course I won’t leave you.” he whispered and kissed my hair. “She won’t take me away, and even if that happen, I’ll be bringing you with me, so don’t cry Doll.” he added.

“I don’t like her, I don’t like her. She said she’ll take you away.” I said sobbing. He lifted my face,

“Doll that won’t happen ok? I’m here.” He said and kissed my fore head. “She won’t take me away I promise you that.” He added, I nodded.

“Now calm yourself ok? I’ll get some water for you.” he said. I nodded and let him go.

“You better lay down ok? I won’t be a minute.” He said.

“Will you came back?” I asked. He smiled at me.

“Of course Doll.” he said and gave me a quick kiss in my lips then left the room. As far as I can see him, as if he wont come back.

I was still crying in the dream, what of that will happen? What am I going to do? I’m scared having Zach not in my side. Why does she have to come back? Zach is leaving peacefully.

Then I heard a crash downstairs. I stood up in shock, what was that. I heard something crash again, it was 4 times, I took a gun under the bed before I run downstairs, only to see Zach unconscious in the shoulder of a 3 big men! I saw the door smashed into pieces. Shiver began to run in my body. I can’t move.

“w-who are you?” I asked in horror, the three men turn at me. They were wearing mask, I can’t see their faces.

“Hey, there’s a woman. What will we do?” asked the big man who was carrying Zach.

“She said only this guy.” Said the second man who was holding a bat.

Realization hit me; they were going to take Zach away!
