I'm waking through the woods,it's silent, peaceful. Like everything I've ever wanted.

"Can you hear us?" A voice hisses,shattering through my body "You thought you'd escape us. No way."

That's when some kind of monster,dressed in white zaps towards me,grabbing me by my neck. Heaving as it's nails dig into my pulse.

"So sweet." It sneers "So innocent."

I wake up screaming,thrashing around in the bed. As I feel arms pull me I throw myself away,Thomas just stands there,looking at me wide-eyed.

"It's okay,it's okay. It was just a nightmare."
"It.. It.. It killed me."
"No it didn't."

He pulls me close into his arms and I lie there,breathing heavily. I still can't process it all yet. He strokes my hair softly as I cry against him.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asks.
"I don't know."
"What happened?"
"Something came. I didn't know what."
"It's not real."
"It felt real."
"I know,I'll protect you. I love you so much."
"I love you too."

I lean in to kiss him but then the phone starts to ring,we pull apart and Thomas walks into the living room. I just sit curled up in the bed as I hear slight muffles of conversations then he walks back into the room,face pale,looking at me like he's about to burst into tears.

"What's wrong?" I ask,feeling like I'm about to throw up.
"It's.."
"Tom?"
"It's your mum."
"What!"
"She's dead."
