the lights dimmed and i could finally see in the room. the light had been too bright and i couldn't see a thing, but there he stood.

"fuck you." was what simply slipped from my lips. his hand gripped my jaw tightly and he stared into my eyes.

"you're gonna regret that, sweetheart." i spat in his face and he backed up.

"never." he only chuckled darkly.

"oh, but you will." he whistled and i heard the strangled cry of a younge girl. then i saw her.

"isla!" i shouted and the man laughed darkly. "don't you dare lay a hand on her."

"oh, i won't." he picked up a knife. isla began to shake as she was placed in a chair.

"jacky! help! please!" the girl shouted and i tugged at the chains keeping me. he pressed the knife to her cheek and slashed it. the girl screeched out and i winced.

"baby girl, hey, focus on me." i said and isla looked into my eyes fearfully. "everything will be alright." the man smirked.

"what's my name, boy?"

"i don't know."

"you should." he said simply and i growled.

"i don't." he tsked.

"such a shame. i didn't want to have to do this, but you leave me no choice." he took the knife and grabbed isla's arm. he began to engrave a letter and i searched my mind. her screams echoed in my ears.

"tyler! YOUR NAME IS TYLER!" i shouted and he stopped. isla was sobbing and he smiled.

"to think i had to mark poor little isla." he slashed her cheek again before leaving. my chains dropped and i immediately ran to my little sister.

"jacky." she sobbed and i rocked her back and forth.

"i am so so so sorry, baby girl. i'm sorry."

"i-its okay, ja-jacky."

"hang on, pumpkin, okay? hold on for me." i began to sob out and the girl just smiled at me.

"i love you, jacky."

"hang on, isla! hang on!" i yelled, but it was no use. the color faded from her once cheerful eyes and i sobbed into her chest.

"i love you too, baby girl."

jack shot up in a panicked state. his eyes searched the room. he needed something - anything - to calm himself. he grasped the blanket.

soon though, his door opened and closed before a brunette held his cheeks.

"hey, hey, hey, focus on me. it was only a dream." zach spoke gently and jack shook his head lightly.

"it-it wasn't, z."

"why?" zach asked and jack sucked in a breath.

"it-it was isla's death." he whispered and zach pulled him close.

"i'm sorry, j."

"its-its okay. just, please don't leave me, z."

"i won't, j. i promise." and with that, zach pressed his lips to jack's and the boy knew he wasn't lying.
