Alone 2

Chapter 6: Lost in dreams

Allyson's P.O.V

I move my arms close into my body as a cold chill seeps through the small cracks in the ceiling.

I crawl to the wall, and lean my back against it. I finally get a good look at the room I'm in.

Closed windows lined with metal bars. Blood stains the white tiled floor. Tables overturned, syringes strewed around the room, as well as white lab coats and bloodied containment suits.

There's a door across the room that's shut.

"Hello...?" I say to the door, in hope of someone with a smile on their face to come out, but no one replies and I let out a sigh of relief and sadness.

My brain clicks and I call out for Cade.

"Cade?" I close my eyes.

When I open them, I'm outside. The sun shines down onto my back.

It's like magic. All the pain is gone. I lay down, and my heart starts to race as the ground swallows me up. I'm now in darkness. Surrounded by it, with a red light beaming towards my head. I hear them pull the trigger, but I don't die, I simply fly away. Away from danger. I close my eyes again. When I open them, I am back in the empty room, and I'm staring at the door across from me.

I stand up and let the wall guide me to the door. My breathing is normal, I'm not scared. I'll just simply fly away from this dangerous place.

I place my calm hand onto the cold door handle and twist it until I can pull it open. I step in front of the door to peer inside. A figure of a man. His back turned towards me. I am now shaking with fear. My throat closes up and I cannot speak. A flash of light scans I've my eyes. The figure is Cade. His face bloodied and his eyes blood shot. He creeps closer to me, as his gun scrapes the floor. I'm scared. Frightened. I try to fly away from the danger, but somethings tied my wings together. I take a step back and fall into a pool of blood.

I'm drowning. Blood fills my mouth and I begin to choke. I start to scream. Scream as hands wrap around me and pull me down. My screams stop as I can see again.

I'm back in the sunshine. I'm cold, and I can see my breath in the wind. I'm freezing. I freeze in place. I can't move. I can only see Cade carrying a body. He places it on the ground as it wriggles out of his grasp.

I glance at the body's face. Its Aria. He places the barrel of the gun against her head. She looks to the sky and closes her eyes. Her breathing stops and now Cade is coming to me. He points the gun to my head and pulls the trigger.

I can't think.

But time suddenly stops. I watch the bullet turn around, and I notice tears are dripping down my face. Cold. Time unfreezes and the bullet counter acts and goes barreling towards Cade. I scream and try to break free, but I start to shake. I close my eyes.

When I open them. Cade is shaking me.

Aria is asleep as I look across the room.

"Shhh, it was only a bad dream." Cade has my head in his lap.

I look up at him.

"No...it was the future."
