chapter 32: Nightmares

"I told you that you can run but you can't hide" a dark threatening voice mocked.

"Who are you?" Albert asked, his voice full of fear.

He couldn't see a thing. Everywhere was dark. He was in the in his home back in Philadelphia; and for some reason unknown the lights won't work.

"Your. Worst. Nightmare." The voice replied, somehow echoing.

Albert shivered.

"Judgement fay is here" the voice sang.

It sounded close. So close.

Albert froze then turned around slowly. Suddenly his face came in contact with a hard fist, knocking him off his feet.

Fear gripped his heart, threatening to tear it apart as he looked up and saw the glint of a steel gun aimed at him, thanks to the moonlight that suddenly appeared.

He couldn't see the man's face clearly for the moonlight only provided a beam of light through the window.

The body of the man hid in the shadows.

"Please don't kill me" Albert pleaded.

The man laughed a wicked laugh.

"It's so good to see you beg. I wonder how your girlfriend will sound like. I think I love it", the man said and laughed again.

Realising who the man was made Albert turn cold and begin to shiver uncontrollably, followed by a banging headache.

"Venom" he whispered.

"Goodbye" the man said in a final tone and pulled the trigger.

"No!" Albert shouted and sat up, panting heavily.

He was sweating all over. He looked around, he was in his bedroom not the one in Philadelphia though.

He began to calm down, his breathing slowing going back to normal.

Venom has Jasmine, he thought.

That thought sent a severe pain through his head and he tried to make it go away by massaging it before getting out of his bed, teaching into his drawer for some painkillers.

Hey baby, Claudia didn't pick my calls and I couldn't find her at her house. So I'm gonna try tomorrow. Goodnight, I love you.
Fiona.

And then the text was sent.

She placed her phone on her bedside table and then proceeded to the bathroom.

She got rid of her bathrobe and got into the filled bathtub.

She laid back and closed her eyes trying to relax and think.

Her father is probably in his room sleeping or thinking about Jasmine and what's going on with his family right now.

"Why?" A soft unhappy voice spoke out.

She was in an empty park, standing near the lake.

She turned around.

"Why?" He asked again.

He was leaning on a tree several distances away from her. The branches hid half of his face.

"Who are you?" She asked but remained in her spot, afraid to approach the man in case he was harmful.

She tried to peer through the cluster of over bent branches full of leaves when she almost tripped over a stick.

She steadied herself and looked up but the mas was gone.

She looked around and gasped when someone suddenly turned her around and took her twisting it behind her.

It was the man.

"I never hated you" he said.

"Aah!" She screamed in pain.

"And you killed me. Now it's time for you to die."

"Tony please" she begged.

He kicked her calf so she'll bend to her knees and forcefully grabbed her head, immersing it into the lake.

She struggled.

She fought.

And then she felt life slowly shift away from her.

Darkness slowly clouding her vision.

Fiona gasped for air and coughed fitfully.

She had temporarily lost consciousness and had slipped into the water completely.

Fiona placed her hand on her chest and whispered to herself shakily "it was just a dream."
