Delilah wakes up slightly disoriented. She's not in her room and there are people around her. After sitting up and rubbing her eyes, she realizes she's in her dads' bedroom and next to her is Jasper on her left, Daddy on her right and Dad on the other side of Jasper.
She yawns, rubbing her eyes again before looking around the room. She's a bit chilly, but maybe it's just the room. Her dads always put on extra clothes on her when they go out. Maybe grown-ups like their rooms colder. Because they're grown-ups, of course.
Delilah stops her eyes at a dark figure at the foot of the bed. At first, she thinks it's just Elsie wanting to join them but the lady is much taller than Elsie.
The lady must be Elsie's mom, Delilah realized then. She's wearing a long black dress and her hair's pinned up. The fear kicks in then and Delilah's breathing gets heavier, her breath growing more rapid. She can't tear her eyes off of the lady.
Delilah's eyes find the lady's face and see the smile on her face. Their eyes meet a second later, Delilah seeing the same vibrant yet dull blue that Elsie's eyes have as well.
The lady grins then, before putting her pointer finger in front of her lips and shushing. She takes a step to the left and disappears. Just like that.
Delilah finally feels like she can breathe again, her gaze no longer so painfully focused. And then she screams.
