i looked over to see my worst nightmare.

brent.

"looks like my princess is awake already" he said, walking towards me.

i screamed as loud as i could and he rushed over to me and slapped me across the face. i felt a surge of pain go through my face, joining the rest of the pain in my body to which had gone numb.

"that'll show you" he said. he got up and started to gather little twigs and branches before placing them all around me.

then it hit me,

he's burning me alive.

it looked like some satanic ritual. he placed dried leaves and sticks and then he walked over to a bag that i just noticed, pulling out a lighter and walking back.

he bent down towards my face and whispered, "have fun"

i watched in horror as he lit one of the twigs on fire. it was as if everything was in slow motion, slowly the whole circle of leaves and twigs caught on fire and i heard him run away.

i could feel the sweat rolling down my cheeks, i started coughing but it hurt so much. i looked through the fire to see the other trees start to catch on fire. maybe someone would see it.

20 minutes passed by and the fire was only inches away from my face, i could feel the flames touch my legs but i couldn't move my leg away. all I could do was just lay there.

i remember that this killing method had been on an episode of forensic files, a show that brent and i used to binge watch together.

just thinking about it caused me to shudder.

suddenly i felt someone throw water on my face, i spit the water out and saw a girl with burn marks on her face standing over me. She was panting, and i could see two other girls farther down putting out the fires in the few nearby trees. i looked up at her and gave her a weak smile, everything went blurry and then black.

"this way officer! they need help!" i could hear someone shout through their sobs.

i moved my hand around me and felt someone laying beside me. i opened my eyes and saw the same girl that had helped me, on the floor, her body lifeless. i looked past her to see firefighters spraying water everywhere, paramedics rushing towards us and behind them were the 2 other girls from before talking to a few police officers.

"you're gonna be okay" one of the paramedics said to me. she slowly picked me up but all i could do was cry and scream in pain. i looked over my shoulder to see another paramedic lift up the other girl and rush past us to the ambulance.

"do you know your phone number?" the paramedic asked me, i nodded and remembered my phone lying in the grass behind us. i slowly lifted my arm and pointed to my phone.

"john! get her phone!" she signaled to another paramedic. he rushed over and grabbed my phone, i told him my password and he called my mom.

"ma'am this is sideridge police" he was saying. i'm guessing my mom was crying because he said "it's okay Ma'am we have your daughter and are transferring her to sideridge general hospital".

the ambulance ride was a blur, all i could remember was doctors asking me questions and injecting me with painkillers. 

finally we got to the hospital and i was taken to the intensive care unit. i was given medicine and felt myself slowly fall asleep.

"shh hun" i heard my mom whisper. i opened my eyes a little and saw annie laying with her head in my mom's lap. both of their eyes were red and puffy. i looked over to the side and saw see abby talking to a nurse. a woman was sitting on anther sofa beside my mom.

i had never seen her before.

surprisingly, the bed was so warm and cozy. i just wanted to go back to sleep until the nurse say walked towards my bed.

"she's awake" she said quietly, turning to face my family.

my mom rushed towards me and kissed my forehead "oh thank god!" she cried. annie sat where she was, looking at me sadly from the foot of the bed.

"hey ann" my voice was raspy and it hurt to talk.

she burst into tears and walked over, giving me a light hug. abby came running to me and gave me a tight hug "ow" i winced at the pain in my back.

the mysterious woman stood up and patted my head, introducing herself.

"how're you feeling ashley? i'm lisa, lisa dolan" I responded by giving her a weak smile. someone walked in causing all of us to turn towards the door.

Who do you think it is? Hoped you enjoyed this chapter! :)
