Dark inside (Solby)

Darker Still

Colby's POV

I must have fallen asleep while holding sam at some point, because when I woke up it was pitch black. The TV was off and there was virtually no light in the house. I stretched a little and yawned before stopping and realizing something else, Sam wasn't in my arms. There was no sign of Sam at all. I instantly got up and started to walk around, and when I tried to turn the lights on nothing worked. So I had to use the flashlight from my phone as I looked around the house for him. I checked all the rooms on the first floor, looking in every nook and cranny that I could find, but there was no sign of him. I just tried to assume that Sam was trying to mess with me until I reached the bottom of the stairs. At the base of the stairs that lead to the second floor, there were small dark splotches on the ground, and it looked like something, or someone, had been dragged up the stairs. I could feel my heart stop and my blood run cold as I darted up the stairs and started to call out for him

"Sam?! Sam where are you?! This isn't funny!" I yelled completely panicked at this point. And when I reached the top of the stairs I could hear a yelp and a soft whimper coming from his room. I took a deep breath as I walked toward the door and slowly opened it, to find Sam against the opposite wall, covered in blood. And hovering over him, with the most wicked smirk on his face, was Jacob.

"Oh, look you finally showed up Sammy, I guess you were right, he wouldn't just leave you to die. Too bad he can't do anything to save you." He said as he laughed a little.

"Let him go" I hissed as I took a step toward him, but he quickly put the knife to Sams neck

"One more step and it's off with his head" he hissed with a smile and I froze as Sam whimpered looking at me wide eyed

"Daddy......do something. Please" he begged as he looked at me and Jacob laughed

"He won't save you Sammy. He's gonna take your life." Jacobs said smirking and I snarled at him.

"Like hell I will"

"You will. Or I'll do it slowly" he said as he tightened the grip on the knife, pushing it into sams neck. "Use your gun. Right between the eyes." He said smiling and I was suddenly lifting my gun up.

"Colby. Please.....I love you. Don't do this."

"I have to" I said, but that's not what I was thinking that's not what I wanted to say. I loaded the gun and looked at him as he had tears in his eyes.

"Please! Baby don't do this! No no!" I pulled the trigger before screaming and shooting up with a gasp and realized I was still in the living room, Sam poking his head out from the kitchen. When he saw the look on my face he ran to me, his dress swirling around his thighs and he was in my lap in seconds.

"Daddy did you have a nightmare?" He asked softly as he wrapped his arms around my neck. I sighed and panted slightly before hugging him tightly as I barely nodded. "Oh baby.....it's okay. It wasn't real. Everything's okay" he said softly as he pet my head and nuzzled the side of my head as I sighed, tears silently rolling down my face. I was so glad it hadn't been real, that he was still alive. I don't think I could have lived with myself if he had died, especially at my hand. "Do you wanna talk about it? Or do you want me to make you coffee and we can just cuddle and watch TV?"

"Coffee and cuddles" I whisperer and he nodded, kissing my cheek and wrapping a blanket around me before heading to the kitchen. I sighed and closed my eyes as I laid there and shook a little as I sighed, just wanting the thoughts to go away. Sam came back quickly, skipping out as he handed me my coffee and cuddled with me as he smiled.

"What do you wanna watch baby?"

"Criminal minds maybe?" I asked softly as I nuzzled the side of his head. He nodded and kissed my cheek before turning it on and snuggled close to me. I sipped the coffee and sighed as I smiled a little and relaxed as I wrapped an arm around him.

"You know I would never hurt you right?" I asked softly after a few minutes of silence. He looked at me with soft eyes and sighed.

"Of course I do baby.....was that what your nightmare was?" He asked softly

"Jacob made me kill you" I whispered quietly as I looked down. He hugged me tightly and pet my head as he sighed.

"That won't ever happen. I would make sure you don't ever get put in that situation" he said as he pet my head and looked at me with the biggest brightest soft eyes I had seen causing my heart to melt.

"Thank you baby. That means a lot" I said kissing him softly, but the thoughts continued to haunt my thoughts and taunt me
