I was in a pitch black room, tightly bound to a metal chair.
"Marianna" I hear someone whisper from behind me
I flip around just to be greeted by darkness.
"Marianna" the voice whispers again
I flip my head to the right.
Nothing.
My heartbeat began rapidly increasing.
I knew exactly what was about to happen. I've been having the same nightmare every night for the past six months.
I suddenly feel an arm roughly wrap around my neck. I attempt to loosen my attacker's grip by shaking my head left and right, to no avail. The arm suddenly disappears. I largely inhale as much oxygen as possible before violently coughing out.
A sudden gunshot sounds in the dark room, causing me to let out a scream.
A sudden red light engulfs us and in the far right of the room is Jackson's dead body. But he isn't laying down, instead, his back is facing me.
He slowly turns around and I scream at the sight of his decayed features. He just stands there, staring at me for what seems like hours but was only minutes.
He suddenly begins muttering to himself.
I hear a scream coming from behind me. I flip my head back and see my mother's frail form being dragged away by a black masked figure.
"MARIANNA! HELP ME!" She yells as blood begins dripping down her eyes
She disappears from my sight a few seconds later.
"MARIANNA" I hear my father's voice yell
I flip around and see him crawling towards me with a loose hooked around his neck.
He began letting out screams of anguish as he approached my restrained form.
I furiously shake my head in an attempt to drown out the sound.
Suddenly it goes dead silent.
I slowly look up just to realize that I was alone.
I let out harsh breaths as I frantically observed my surroundings.
This part was the worst.

Jordan
Ear piercing screams jolt me out of sleep.
I sit up in a panic—the screams seemingly getting louder.
Marianna?
I jump out of bed and rush out of my room and to hers.
Once I slam the door open, I see her laying in her bed, trashing around violently whilst letting our screeches of anguish.
I rush to her side and begin shaking her violently.
"MARIANNA! MARIANNA, WAKE UP!" I yell at her
Her eyes suddenly snap open, as she looks up at me in fear.
"It's me. It's Jordan" I softly say
Her body seems to relax.
"I'm sorry" She whispers whilst letting out shaky breaths
I sit her up before pressing my palm against her sweaty forehead.
She was burning up rapidly.
I stand up.
"I'll be right back" I say
As I begin walking off, she abruptly held onto my left wrist.
"Please, don't leave" She pleads, worry clouding her features
My face falls.
"I'm gonna go get you some ice, okay? I'll be right back" I reassure
She slowly nods before reluctantly letting go of my wrist.
I switch her bedroom light on before practically sprinting to the kitchen.
I reach the fridge in a few seconds, take out some ice and put it in a glass before rushing back to her room.
She was silently sitting on her bed, looking down at her feet lost in thought. When I walk in, her head snaps up but her features relax when she sees that it's me. I gently smile at her before sitting next to her. I press the glass against her burning forehead.
"Wanna talk about it?" I gently ask
She looks up at me and shakes her head no.
A few seconds of silence goes by.
"Wanna cuddle?" I ask with a small grin on my face
My attempt at lightening the mood works as she lets out a soft chuckle before nodding.
I place the glass on the table counter beside the bed before falling onto the bed, arms wide. She slightly smiles at me before falling into my arms.
She puts her right leg in-between my legs before laying on my chest. I wrap one arm around her waist, pulling her closer to me and another into her hair. I gently stroke her hair whilst placing soft kisses on her forehead.
We lay comfortably in each other's arms for hours and only when she dozes off to sleep do I allow my eyes to shut close.
