There they were.
My parents. In the flesh.
Electricity flew throughout my entire body.
We were in a white room, governor's house.
I shook my head, tears filling my bloodshot eyes.
I wanted to scream, but nothing came out.
I wanted to cry, but no tears rolled down my cheeks.
The governor suddenly enters, his group of killers behind him.
I shudder, I can't believe what I'm seeing.
I look to the man holding me down, he looks tough and muscular, but I still attempt on getting away. I shriek through my duct tape-covered mouth and try to release myself from him.
He doesn't budge, of course.
I watch as the governor holds a long machete looking sword, walking right and left.
"Cindy," he sneers, "your parents. They've done terrible things." I shook my head profusely and tried to scream some more.
"No?" He chuckles, a sense of evil in his voice, "you all tried sneaking away."
"Tsk tsk tsk," the governor sighs, "here in Woodbury, we punish those who do not obey." I can suddenly feel my heart breaking at the seams.
I knew what was going on here.

I was back at my parents' death scene.

The governor continued to walk as if he were pacing. "Your parents, you see, they're good people." I could tell he was lying right through his teeth. "But, we're not perfect. And I understand that." I wanted to protest, but I could not. For, I could see I wasn't going anywhere.
"They're about to receive their punishment," he pointed, "would you care to watch?" My stomach dropped, my heart stopped. I was shaking.
He called to his men. My parents were on their knees, sitting right in front of me.
"It'll be okay, sweetie," my mother smiled as tears poured down her cheeks. I watched as she tried not to cry in front of me, but I couldn't help myself. I began to bawl through the duct tape.
"You're strong, Cindy, you can make it through this," my father assured.
I nodded, the man holding me down, putting pressure on my arms didn't make this any better.
The governor took one last look at me before whispering,

"You're dead either way."

Then I woke up.
