I am in my house. We're all having dinner. Everyone's smiling and laughing. Mom and dad are happy.
They're here.....
They're watching us with so much love and affection. This feels too good to be true. Rolland made a stupid joke that made everyone laugh and Ruby turn red. Hell, it even made Ronan.... Smile.
I love it when he smiles.
I think he said something about her having the weirdest crush in school.
I love it when we're all together.
I love it when we're happy.
"We love you Ruby!" Everyone embraced Ruby in a hug. A family hug.
Out of nowhere, I am falling. But then I stop. I look around but I can't see. I'm surrounded by nothing but darkness.
Now I am running, I am running with everything I have. Like my life depends on it, but to where? I can't see. Everything is dark.
No form of light, just darkness. I can't stop running. WHY CAN'T I STOP RUNNING?!
"Roxy!"
Mom?
"Mom! Where are you?!" I yell and run in the direction my mom's voice came from.
"Roxy!"
I halt. Dad?
"Dad!? Is that you?" I ran in the opposite direction, following where his voice had come from.
"Roxy!"
"Rolland?! I'm coming!"
"Roxy!!!" I heard a louder scream and I immediately recognized it as Ruby's.
"Ruby!!!"
I clutched my head and squeezed my eyes shut. Everything was becoming fuzzy, I felt so dizzy....
"R-Roxy....."
My head snapped upwards at the familiar yet unfamiliar voice. It couldn't be....
"RONAN?! Is that you!? I'm coming! Don't be scared." I am so confused, where do I go? Who do I help first?
I hear a loud cry of a baby that immediately pierces through my heart.. Raelynn? No please! she's just a child.
What do I do? WHAT DO I DO?!
"Roxy!"
"Roxy!"
"Roxy!"
"Roxy!"
"Roxy!"
I fell to my knees Screaming. My cheeks felt damp, Was I ..... Crying? No, I can never cry. That's not me!
The constant yelling of my name didn't stop, but instead got louder. My name is being yelled from all directions, My head is pounding and I know I would pass out any minute.
But I can't.... I have to protect.... Family.
" MAKE IT STOP!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
It did.
But I wished it continued after what I saw next.
From a distance, a spotlight was turned on. A man in a black mask was pointing a gun at Ronan's head. My blood freezes along with my heart.
