I'm sorry if there is any grammar issues. I wrote this late at night. So, I will probably edit it soon.

Everything was dark. All Bridget could see was darkness. She could not move. All she could do was stare at the emptiness that she was in. She started to feel a light wind brush against her face. She looked below her, and a light was starting to form. That's when she finally noticed she was free falling. Her heart skipped a beat and the light was getting closer. She got close enough to see a hardwood floor below her. She brought her hands up against her face to brace for the impact. Her whole body finally struck down on the hardwood floor.

She felt no pain. Bridget did not even realize she touched the floor until she opened her eyes to see that she was in a house. She slowly got off from the ground and started to look around more. She looked up and there was just darkness. It seemed like an optical illusion and it made Bridget a little dizzy. She then started to look back at the house again. Her hands started trembling when she realized where she was. She was inside Daniels house.

"I'm back from work honey," Daniel said with a sweet grin on his face. Bridget started to look around the corner to see Daniel taking his hat off to put it on the rack in front of him. He started to walk farther into the house. Bridget noticed how nice he was back then. Daniel was a simpler man in those times. Him and Bridget never got into fights when they first started dating. But, it escalated very quickly when his parents died from a car crash.

"Bridget?" Daniel yelled this time. "Yes honey. Ill be there in a second." Nightmare Bridget said. Bridget's ears started to ring when she heard her own voice.

Daniel started to walk closer to Bridget and before she could even move he just walked straight through her. All she could feel was cold air flowing through her body. Then Bridget started to hear a door creak open. It was nightmare Bridget. She looked like Bridget, but her face was all blurred out. It made Bridget jump at just staring at it.

Nightmare Bridget started to walk up to Daniel and started to give him a long consensual kiss. It made Bridget uncomfortable at just seeing a nonexistent face kiss Daniel. They finally let go of each other and before Bridget knew it the floor disappeared again. She was freefalling through the darkness again.

She landed on the hard floor again and picked herself up. She noticed things were a little darker than before. She was still in the same house, but it just seemed darker.

Daniel entered the house again but said nothing. It seemed like he was more depressed and tired than before. Nightmare Bridget started to walk in. Bridget was never going to get used to seeing that. It really made her nervous.

Nightmare Bridget started to speak this time. "How was your day today," She said hoping to get a response. She got a response but not the one she was looking for. "Shut up, please." Daniel begged. He just pushed her to the side and went into his room. Bridget started to grind her teeth and clench her fists again.

Bridget always was there for Daniel even when he was in his all-time low, but he just kept refusing help from her. Instead he thought of other ways to make him feel better. He wanted to see her hurt. He wanted to see her bleed. He wanted to hear her scream.

Before Bridget could think more about what he had done before, she started to fall again into the same house. It was getting darker the farther she fell.

She looked in front of her and she started to hear yelling. It was nightmare Bridget and Daniel arguing. It was one of the many arguments they had but this was the worst of them all. Bridget tries to forget this one argument, but she can't because its plastered onto her skin until she rots and dies.

It was an argument about their financial problems and Daniel was drunk as all hell. He kept on waving the beer bottle around nightmare Bridget's face. "W-we can barely afford this garbage that we call a home. Maybe we can call up your sah-slutty friend Shirley and get her to hand her over some mah-money!" Daniel said yelling while stuttering. "She's not a slut and your drunk so just hand over the bottle, please." Nightmare Bridget said pleadingly. She tried to grab the bottle out of his hands but missed. "Wo-ho-ho not so fast B-Bridget. Maybe just a l-little more, then maybe we can go to our bed and start having a little sex. W-what do you say Bridget?" Daniel tried to say without tipping over. "Please just hand over the bottle," Nightmare Bridget said while trying to swipe it out of his hands again.

"Make me bitch!" Daniel yelled. Bridget started to get chills on her back. She knew where this was leading. "I should have just left him alone and walked away but I didn't. God, I'm so dumb," Bridget thought to herself.

Nightmare Bridget started to pin down Daniel, but he obviously overpowered her. Daniel started to get on top of her. He started to kiss her all around her body while holding his arms up against hers, so she couldn't escape. He let go of her arms for a second to get a drink from his beer that he sat right next to her. Nightmare Bridget knocked the beer right out of his hands and the bottle shattered. "You little w-whore," He yelled so loudly that Bridget's ears felt like they were going to bleed. He started undoing his belt and unzipping his pants. "STOP!" Nightmare Bridget yelled as loud as she could. "Y-you know you want it," He replied.

Bridget did not know why she did not just grab the glass that was right next to her. She could not think straight at that moment. Who could?

Instead nightmare Bridget punched Daniel in the face before he could pull down his pants. He started to wheeze in pain and finally fell off her. He put his hands to his face and started to get even angry and his face could definitely show it.

Nightmare Bridget tried to run away but Daniel quickly put his hands around her ankles and pulled her back. "You're not going to leave that e-easily," He said while giving a wicked smile. She kept on trying to kick but she couldn't escape. He was too strong for her. "Stop struggling, y-you will like it. I-I promise," He said while he kept on pulling her back. He started to get frustrated and so he picked up the piece of glass that was on the floor and said, "That's it. I have had enough. N-now you're going to get it,"

He let go for a second and nightmare Bridget started to wiggle away from him until he started to pin her down again by her arms. "Get off!" Nightmare Bridget yelled. It seemed like the words phased passed him and he pulled up his arm getting ready to stab her in the face. "Please don't," She said while blurry tears started to run down her face.

He waited a couple more seconds and started to swing towards her face. But, Bridget blocked her face with her right arm in front of her. She screamed in pain. She looked down at her arm to see a glass sticking out of her arm. Daniel, realizing what he did, started to fall against the wall. While she laid there bleeding out.

Bridget started to look down at her arm and stared at the scar. "I feel no remorse for what I did to you now. You were just a coward. You ran away from your own problems and took them out on me. You deserved that bullet through your skull. You deserve to burn in hell, Daniel," Bridget thought to herself.

Bridget closed her eyes to hear nightmare Bridget screaming. She wanted this to be over, but it wasn't, and it never was going to be. Bridget started to open up her eyes again and there was a small fox sitting in front of her. It was the same fox from last time. It started to walk towards her. When it was only a foot away it stopped suddenly and started to grow. But, she saw it transform into a human immediately. It was a man standing in front of her now.

He was almost 7 feet tall and was shirtless with baggy sweatpants on. He had a pretty well-defined body. With muscles surrounding every inch of his body. He had brown hair that almost touched his eyebrows and his eyes were bright yellow with a hint of blue. His eyes were almost illuminating. "Who are you?" Bridget asked while feeling rather at peace at that moment. She felt better just being next to him. She felt comforted. He gave out a cute smile and began to speak.

"Now you finally know what I truly look like," He said happily. Bridget looked at him with an addled face.

"I'm Pax!"
