"Dad?" I asked staring into the bright light.
"Alissa. You must fight the darkness. Do not follow the light." Dad said.
"But dad you are in the light. Why can't I come?" I asked.
"Because you'll either die or go into a coma. My passage out hasn't been showed to me yet. I can't leave, but you can and don't worry about Daniel. He is safely behind bars and there is no way for him to get out. Now go back. I love you. I'm with you always." Dad said his image fading.
"DAD!!" I screamed sitting up quickly. I saw Bella, the Sheriff, and Grant sitting next to my hospital bed. I got out of the bed and ran outbox the room. I ran into Smith causing both of us to fall. I got up and kept running while he got up.
I ducked into a utility closet, while they ran down the hall looking for me. Once I no longer heard running feet I slowly pushed the door open.
Slowly I stepped out and sprinted to my dad's room. I closed the door and sat in the chair next to the bed. And then someone stepped out of the corner. I opened youth to scream but the I recognized him. "Alissa. I told them that you would come here. They just didn't believe me. But I do her one question though. Why did you run?" Grant asked.
"That is none of your business, Grant. And to tell the truth I don't know. I just did. I swear that while I was passed out I talked to him. I had to see if it was a dream. It must have been." I said crying into Dad's pillow.
"Hey. It'll be okay." Grant said coming over to me. He pulled me into a gentle hug and let me cry into his shoulder. That's how Bella found us about three minutes later.
"Ali?" Bella asked and I pulled back. "Well I'm going to find the others and tell them where you are. Be back soon." Bella said leaving the room.
"Wonder what's wrong with her?" Grant asked wiping the tears off my face with his thumb.
"That's just Bella being Bella. It's fine." I said replacing dad's pillow back on the bed.
"Hey. Um. I wanted to ask you something. I was just wondering if you would like to go out to dinner with me. As a date." Grant said after a few seconds.
"Sure. You seem nice enough. And you saved my life. So why not?" I said.
"Great. I'll pick you up at seven." Grant said just seconds before Bella came back in with the rest of the gang.
