Deep within the shadows lie secrets that are never meant to be uncovered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I slipped into the alleyway, deep breaths puffing clouds of smoke in the cold winter air. I knew what I needed to do. Eliminate the enemy. One simple job. Or so I thought. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'I will survive!' I silently screamed, blowing a puff of unimaginably wintry air into the spring atmosphere. The walls closed in, slowly, taking me and my friends to own doom. I shuddered awake at the echo of my screams. Three nights. Three agonizing nights of nightmares. "Hanna? Are you alright darling girl?" My father, Atol Lockins, came into my room, concern written across his face. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Amy! Amy wake up! It's only a dream!" My twin sister, Bess, shook me awake. "Hanna. Bess text Hanna!" 

"But-!" I cut her off.

"Just do it! Ask if she had another nightmare!" 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amy was screaming again. 

The third night.

Each night Amy would scream the same thing.

Hanna. 

Little did we know I would soon be getting nightmares as well.

And these nightmares had a meaning.

This is my first story. I own the plot and characters.
