Lola was running. In the dark.
It was cold and she was bare footed.
She knew something was chasing her but she couldn't remember what.
So she kept running.
Eventually, she reached a busy road and slowed down as she walked slowly with the crowd, she calmed her self down and took deep breaths.
Suddenly, she felt a large hand grab onto her arm. The crowd disappeared and she was on the floor screaming as a dark figure loomed over her.
~~~
"Ahhh" she screamed and sat up abruptly, waking up from her nightmare.
"Lola?" Michael got up off the floor where he slept and sat next to her. "Lola" he called to her again. She stared at the wall opposite to her bed panting then turned to look at him.
"It's okay I'm here" he said sitting next to her slowly. He put his hand on her arm making her wince, so he pulled his arm away.
She looked away from him and broke into tears again. "I don't know why he had to do that to me" she cried. "And no one was there. I screamed and screamed and no one helped me" she cried.
"Lola I'm sorry I wasn't there" Michael said trying to hold her.
"Nah don't touch me" she pushed his arm away and walked into the bathroom locking the door behind her.
She could see how dark it was outside and sighed as she sniffled.
"What's wrong?" She could hear her dad ask Michael outside the door.
"I think she had a nightmare." She heard Michael reply.
"Is Lola okay?" Mika asked.
"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare" Lola said. "Go back to sleep I'm fine I promise"
She heard them walking away and sat on the edge of the bathtub breathing oddly.
She stared up at the ceiling to stop herself from tearing up but her bottom lip started trembling and tears streamed down her face.

She snuck back into her room hoping not to wake Michael who laid on the floor. She could hear his breathing and stepped around the air mattress he was on to get onto her bed.
"Are you okay?" She heard his deep voice say.
"Yh, I'm sorry for shouting at you" she said.
Michael nodded his head as if she could see him and got in a more comfortable position so that he could get back to sleep.
"You couldn't have know that was going to happen anyway" she said.
