Fighting For Freedom

I wake up.

Sweat dripping down my face. I had another nightmare. I look across at Ava. She looks fast asleep, so I go back to sleep.

When I'm asleep, Ava opens an eye. She looks around and gets a drink.

Then I open my eye, I hear a rustling from the kitchen. I grab my bow and head in their, slowly.

Very slowly.

I see a person in our fridge. I grab an arrow and...

Shoot.

Off it goes. Flying through the air. It hit right next to the fridge. The person starts to run back into my bedroom.

" Come back ! " I yell softly trying not to wake up Ava. I go back to the bedroom, but no one is there.

Ava is sleeping, I think, I hope.

I get back to bed and but my bow away.
