Dick stops at a church formally known as the sisters and Ashley gets out of the car, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion.

Why the hell did Rachel want to come to church?

She steps through the doors and immediately a group of nuns swarm her wearing giant smiles and sympathetic glances.

"Welcome! You must be Ashley!"

Ashley attempts at getting out of their clutches confusion sprawled across her face and posture.

"Dude, let me go."

They begin to murmur amongst themselves, Ashley turns to see if Dick was still there but is found with nothing.

A needle goes into her neck and the world around her spins and becomes blurry, "What did you just put in my neck?"

One of the nun's grabs her and moves a strand of hair out of Ashley's face, "you'll be safe here."

Her eyes flutter closed and she collapses falling into the arms of the many nuns surrounding her.

Ashley wakes up in a room with a large silver door with no handles on the inside and bars covering the windows.

"Hello?" she screams, isolation terrifed her.

"Please let me out! Dick are you there?" tears begin to prick the corner of her eyes and the voices in her head begin getting louder.

Every limb on her body begins to shake violently a choked sob rising from her chest.

Tears roll down her cheeks and she clenched the bed sheets tightly in her fists, knuckles turning white. "I don't belong here!"

The voices in her head begin screaming, laughing and taunting her. It was agonising and it showed no signs of stopping.

She gets up off the bed and walks over to the door, she raises her fists and pounds on the door.

"You will all pay for this!" Ashley's voice deepens almost demonic, the pictures and crosses on the wall begin to shake.

Demonic laughter echoes around the room and her feet leave the floor, levitating 5 feet off the ground.

A dark smoke begins to seep from her body and cloud the room in it something sliding underneath the door knocks her from the trance.

"Please eat, Jesus is with you."

Ashley falls to her knees and grabs the plate the contents are beef, mashed potatoes and green beans.

Just like her mom used to make it.

On cue the tears begin pooling from her eyes the sobs that she was attempting to hold back now erupting from her like a volcano.

"Let me out!"

Ashley's skin begins to glow red, her anger was overwhelming all of the things holding her power back. It was like someone had light a spark and the ticking was becoming louder.

A walking bomb were the perfect adjectives to describe her.

Ashley falls to her knees and let's out a high pitched wail, the glow slowly begins seeping from her body. It was bright enough to blind someone.

The walls surrounding her shake and crumble, the rubble surrounds her and embers from the fire it had started drift away with help from the wind.

Ashley gets up and climbs down from the rubble and lands in the grass below, she groans when she hits her head upon impact.

"Oh, fuck."

The grass stains her clothes making her groan angrily.

She stands and breaks into a sprint towards the woods, freedom was the only thing she desired.

Twigs and leaves snap beneath her weight as she continues pushing looking back and every now and again.

A growl makes her stop.

She turns slowly and covers her mouth to suppress the scream that threatened to emerge.

A green tiger was standing in front of her.

Ashley walks backwards slowly keeping her eyes on the tiger, her heel hits the back of a tree root.

As she falls backwards she yelps loudly and groans in pain.

Closing her eyes temporarily and forgetting about the tiger, a head appears out of nowhere and she raises her leg and kicks him away.

"Holy shit! Don't creep up on me like that!"

Ashley sits up and looks around, "where did that tiger go?" the boy smiles and waves.

"I'm the tiger."
