Chapter 7

• A Few Days Later •

Andy's POV:

After saying goodnight to Rye, I walk to my bed and lay down. I lay awake for ages tossing and turning until I finally drift off to sleep.

I wake up, I must have threw my blankets off as I was asleep as I can't find them anywhere. My lights suddenly turn on and it takes a few seconds for my eyes to adjust. Once I can see clearly again, I realise that I'm not in my room, I don't know where I am. I looks at the walls and my breathing becomes unsteady and I hope this isn't real. On the walls are Rye, Brooklyn, Jack and Mikey hung up form their hands by chains. Blood is covering them and their eyes are closed. Are they dead?

I focus on Rye and try to get a better look at him. He is shirtless just like the other boys. It looks like there is a hole in him stomach. Right in the centre of his stomach is extremely red and blood is gushing out of the open wounds. I try to shout his name but no sound comes out, pain shoots through my body. I look at Rye looking for answers, there is blood covering his neck, whoever is here must have done something to our voices so they wouldn't hear us scream.

Something is now hovering above me. I try to focus on it but my vision is becoming blurry. I try to kick whatever it is but I am chained down. I try screaming again, but it doesn't work. From what I can see, the thing above me is not human, it is massive and abnormal. Dark purple tiny scales cover its body, except for its face which is even more horrifying. What looks like tentacles extend from the middle of its face, at the tip of the are very large eyes that are very peculiar. The eyes are like the reverse of ours, white in the middle and then coloured around it.

It reaches over my body to grab something as I try and break loose of these chains. I'm just too weak, what have they done to me? It grabs a needle and a long, thin knife. It brings the needle close to my face and I try to move away from it. It lifted up what I assume is it's foot and places it onto my head, he stabs two sharp claws into my skull. I try to scream out n pain, but no sounds come out. Once I am unable to move it puts the needle close to my eye, I tightly shut my eyes and wait to see what it will do. I hear what sound like a growl and then my eyes are forced open by one of his hands. The needle quickly pierces through my eye as it injects something into me. I can only see the bright lights and the darkest shadows now.

I try to think of Rye to help me get through this. By now I've lost all hope that I will survive and I give up. My body relaxes and I begin to get cold. The monster get the knife and begins to cut my stomach and begin to panic again, is this really how I'm going to die? Pain floods through my body, I've never felt pain like this before. I can feel every single cut they make in my skin. I feel blood rushing out of my open wounds, I'm loosing blood quickly, it's only now that it finally sinks in I'm going to die.

I shout Rye's name, I know it's not going to do anything but it calms me down. I don't know how but I convinced myself that rye will come and rescue me if I keep shouting. I keep believing this until I remember that he is already hanging on the wall dead. I begin to cry I'm chained up to a metal table with something cutting into me, what else can I do?

I hear what ever this thing is mutter something in a random language that I've never hears before, it sounds like a snake. After that I feel my life flash before my eyes, I feel one last painful stab and I am gone.

I jolt up onto my bed. Tears are streaming down my face and my stomach hurts. I lift up my shirt and it's fine, no scars or holes. My heart is beating fast and my heard is throbbing, my eyes adjust to the darkness in the room and I realise I am back in bed. I look over to Mikeys bed, he is laying asleep snuggled in his covers. I get up and grab some water and gulp it down in seconds. But one person suddenly enters my mind, Rye. I quickly open the door and rush his room. I see him peacefully lying in his bed in a deep sleep, I smile slightly it was just a dream. My happiness only last door a couple of seconds and I begin crying again. My stomach still hurts and I don't know why.

I walk over to Rye's bed, he looks so gorgeous. I tap him on the shoulder, tears still falling down my face. He doesn't respond. I shake his shoulder and try to choke out his name as I cry. He opens his eyes and looks annoyed until he looks up at me. He looks worried as he sits up.
"Alexa, lights on." He says and the lights suddenly turn on. He grabs me and pulls me onto his lap. "Baby, what's wrong?" He asks stroking my back.
"I had I nightmare," I said. "I know it sound pathetic, but it was really scary and I still feel the pain that I was in." He pulls me in closer and wrap my legs around him and nuzzled his neck. My breathing has slowed down since I I've been in his arms. I know it's cringy, but I really feel safe in his arms, as if nothing will ever be able to hurt me.
"It's ok baby, I'm here now." He puts his hand on the back of my head and caresses it. I love this feeling. "So, do you want to talk about it?" I shake my head, not letting it go too far from his body.

He begins to rock me from side to side, he lightly kisses my forehead a few times to reassure me that he is here for me. I finally stop crying and begin to tell him what happened in my dream. He stays silent and just listens to what I say. After I'm done I nestle my head back into the crook of his neck. He smells amazing. I start to gently kiss his neck because it keeps my mind off my nightmare. I debate whether or not to give him a hickey. It then decide not to, since we haven't told anyone about us yet.
"Do you want to go back to sleep now?" He asks. He head pops out of its comfortable position and I give him an alarmed look. "Don't worry baby, I'll be here the whole time. I'll make sure nothing can get you." He assures me.
"Ok, but only if you cuddle me."
"Did you really think that I would cuddle my beautiful boyfriend?" I blush. I lie down and face away from him, he quickly positions himself so he is cuddling me. He pulls me close and doesn't let go as he intertwines our feet together. Every now and then he would nuzzle the the back of my head or give my neck a light kiss until he falls asleep.

His breathing became slower and heavier and he stopped moving completely. Now I'm all alone again. I quickly wake him up again.
"What is is now baby?" He asks, he talks slow and softly, it calms me down immensely. "You fell asleep and I got scared again," I say.
"It's ok, I'm awake again. I'll make sure I don't fall asleep until you do." He kisses he back of my neck.
"Can you sing to me? It will help me fall asleep quicker," I ask, I love his voice so much.
"Of course baby, I'll do anything for you." He begins to sing songs softly into my ear, his voice doesn't sound very normal, but I'm guessing that's because he doesn't want to wake the boys up so he's being quiet, also probably because it's the middle of the night and he hasn't warmed up his voice.

It takes a few songs until I finally drift off to sleep, I still have a pounding headache but the pain in my stomach is gone. I sleep through the whole night in the arms of my amazing boyfriend. I'm so lucky I have someone like that who cares for me.

(A/N: try and imagine the dream to be a lot scarier than how I wrote it. Also, I'd appreciate if you could like and comment on this please. Goodbye now)
