She Brought Light || Guy's POV

Epilogue [Part One]

°V E R O N I C A ° P O V°

There was a red Hummer coming straight at me, the driver's smirk as clear as day.

I watched as the distance between my car and the red Hummer grew smaller and smaller with each passing second as the car got closer and closer.

There was nothing I could do and nowhere for me to go. I was boxed in with Blake's car in front of me and River's car directly behind me.

I could either jump out of the car or stay inside and hope that it provides some kind of protection. Everything around me went completely silent and the only thing I could hear was my heart beating loudly against my chest.

I gulped just before the Hummer came in contact with my car and everything went black.

Suddenly I'm in the bathroom, wearing my prom dress. The house is silent as I try listening for a single sound. Just then, a baby starts crying and, without even thinking about it, I'm rushing out of the bathroom, out of Blake's room and down the hallway to a different room

Swinging the door open, I'm met with Henry hovering over a blue crib, the baby still crying, only this time, it sounds like two babies screaming. Henry turns around, sporting the same scary and evil smirk I grew up seeing, and my breathing becomes harsh and heavy.

In his arms are two baby boys.

My baby boys.

I scream, but no sound comes out.

I go to grab the boys but I can't move.

Henry stands, the twins in his arms and a smirk on his lips. Blake is nowhere to be seen and, again, my heart beat is deafening in my ears.

"I told you I would break you." He says, smirk growing

"Don't." I cry, shaking my head. "Please, don't." I beg, tears streaming down my cheeks.

Henry let out a menacing laugh, grinning as he watch me. "You've never begged before." He grins, looking like he's enjoying this.

Suddenly he has one of the twins by the front of their onesie and the other twin by the one leg. My heart stop as I watch him, shaking my head and begging him to put them back in their crib, but he just laughs.

"Choose." He says, eyeing me and my eyes widen. The tears start falling faster and whenever I try taking a step forward, he just seems to be getting further. "Choose or I will." I demands, but before I can even open my mouth, he lets go of one.

Jayde falls from Henry's grip, falling to the ground with a sickening crunch.

"NO!" I shoot up from the bed, my head whipping in every which direction as I try taking in the room around me.

After a few seconds of glancing around, I realize I'm in my room. Alone.

My hair is damp from the sweating and is sticking to my neck and forehead. My breathing is heavy and my clothes are drenched in sweat.

It was a dream. It was just a dream, I remind myself. Even if though it felt so real. It's been 8 years since Henry was locked up yet he still manages to scare me every once in a while.

The nightmares aren't an every night thing. I've noticed I only get nightmares if I go to bed alone, without Blake beside me. I haven't told him about it because I know he'll just end up worrying when he's away.

With my heart still banging against my chest, I get out of bed and drag my feet to the bathroom where I spend a whole fifteen minutes trying to calm my racing heart and make it not look like I just dreamt about nearly dying and nearly losing the twins.
