Evie Pov
"Evie, time to go!" My dad called from the living room.

I groaned and shut my sketchbook, setting it on my lamp table.

"Coming" i called back.

I rolled off of my bed and walked out the door.

"Evie..." my brother's voice sounded, he spoke softly, like he was afraid.

I took a few steps to his room and froze as i saw Allen, with Jessie standing behind him holding a knife to Allens neck.

"Evie whats going on?" Allen asked.

"Jessie, please dont" i pleaded.

"Oh but i want to, and dont worry, your dad is next" and as those awful words rolled off his tongue, Jessie let his fangs out, biting my brother's neck and the horrified expression on Allens face.

"ALLEN!" I screamed.

"Yes?" I heard him say and i snapped my head to the side to see Allen perfectly fine standing at the end of the hallway.

"Everything okay?" He asked and i looked back at his bedroom doorway to see nothing there.

Just another trick.

I held my hands to my arms, placing my palms over my scars, just what i do when i feel anxious or scared.

"Fine..." i answered, taking a deep shuddering breath.

I walked twards Allen, him out stretching his arm and wrapped it around my shoulders and i leaned into him.

What is happening to me?

We walked out to the kitchen were my dad stood waiting and he opened the door letting us out.

I walked out to my dads car, climbing into the back seat and Allen got in the front passenger's seat and my dad got in.

"It wont be that bad" dad said as he started the car.

I scoffed and crossed my arms, focusing my attention out the window.

Im not saying anything to this lady, i dont understand how he thinks this will help.

I know he cares about me, he loves me with all his heart, and i do him.

I guess all of the stress of the past few days has pushed him to this, i feel like i am a berden on him now.

"Evie, please just talk to her about this, please tell her, she can help" my dad pleaded me.

I remained silent.

"I just dont get why your having nightmares again" dad sighed.

"Ya and it started when that Corbyn boy showed up" Allen accused.

"But thats not the name she said in her dream" dad pondered.

"Well Corbyn isn't why i am having nightmares, dont assume him to be the problem" i retorted.

Atleast not anymore he's not, at first yes, he brought back all of my past pain, but its different now, and as of last night, its nothing like it has been before.

Especially now that Jessie keeps appearing everywhere i turn, everyone in class earlier were starring at me like i had gone batty.

I most likely looked like i was some escapie from an insane asylum from what my classmates saw.

After about a fifteen minute drive we arrived at a tall building, big glass windows, you could see what was going on within the place.

Although i dont believe that its sucha good idea to have a building made of that mucb glass in California, what about hurricanes? The building would collapse like a castle of cards.

"Alrighty then, lets go" my dad said and him and Allen both got out of the car.

I lazily pushed the door open and slumped out before walking with them both.

We headed through the big entrance and i observed the scenery around me.

It was a very open space, i saw an elevator and a staircase next to it.

A waiting room with several comfy couches and a television set up with the news playing, ugh.

And we were walking straight twards a check in desk with a lady sitting behind the counter.

She was an older woman, her glasses slightly slipped down her nose as she typed on her computer.

My dad cleared his throat, letting her know of our presence, she glanced twards us, giving a sweet smile.

"Hello, how can i help you?" She asked.

"I have an appointment scheduled for my daughter here" my dad answered, i involuntarily rolled my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest.

"And her name is?" The lady asked as she prepared to type on her computer.

"Evie Rogers" dad answered.

"And date of birth?" She asked, glancing up at me for a moment.

"November fourth, 2000" my dad told her and the sound of keys clicking on the keyboard made me want to smash it.

"Okay, she is here to see Dr. Makeen correct?" The old lady asked.

"That is correct" dad said.

"Alright then, she is ready for you, she's on the fith floor, third door to your right" the lady smiled at us.

"Thank you" my dad waved and walked twards the elevator as i dragged behind him.

We waited for the elevator to open, i wanted to turn around, walk away from this but i cant.

The elevator opened, a man and a young girl walked out, the girl had dark skin like her father, and she had long black curly hair, she only looked about ten years old.

Her father held the girls hand as she seemed to be clinging to him, she seemed very nerve racked as did her father.

I wonder what she's going through.

As she and her father walked passed, the little girls arm skimmed mine and i felt an overwhelming surge of anxiety.

I stumbled back a bit, i felt sadness, pain, emotional pain, like how i felt when my mother died, tears brimmed in my eyes as i looked at her.

She had already walked away but looked back at me curiously.

My breaths were shuddering as i tried to peace together what just happened as i kept my eyes trained on the young girl.

"Evie?" My dad voiced from behind me, concerned.

I removed my gaze from the girl and twards my dad and Allen, they eyed at me curiously.

"Everything okay?"

I nodded my head yes and shook off the feelings i just had.

I walked into the elevator as my dad and Allen exchange odd looks before following me in.

I stood next to the elevator buttons and I saw a little girl talking to a woman who looks to be working here.

I pressed the fifth floor button but overheard their conversation.

"I am so sorry about your wife, but she brought a beautiful girl into the world" the lady said.

The young girl began to cry and her father held her tightly as i stared in shock before the elevator doors closed.

Not because i know how she feels, because i lost my mom too.

But because i felt her emotions...and i never said a single word to her...

"Poor girl" Allen sympathized with her.

"Ya..."
