He continues to walk until he feels a cold breeze hit his skin. He looks ahead. There is nothing.

“Stop!” a voice shouts from the darkness.

Sean turns around. There is nobody. Just emptiness surrounding him. A sudden rush of wind hits him causing him to stumble to the floor. He quickly stands up and looks at where the wind came from. He hears shuffling, moving, and something else. He turns around.

There is a silhouette in the darkness just a few feet away. Its arms and legs are shaking. It seems to be struggling.

Sean's mouth drops open as he recognizes what it is. He runs back over to the door, slamming it shut behind him just in time as he watches the creature jump through the opening. It lands with a thud, scratching the floor before it quickly gets up and runs toward him.

Sean grabs the handle, preparing himself to open it once more, as the monster reaches for him.

However, before the monster could grab him, he hears a crash from above. He looks back to see the monster being pushed down the steps. He runs back to the stairs just as he hears a crash come from above.

Sean climbs the stairs until he reached another small hallway. He walks along it as another crash comes from above. Sean turns to see a piece of the ceiling breaking loose as the figure falls onto the ground, landing right in front of him. Sean screams, backing away.

However, he trips over the object in front of him and falls. In front of him lays the monster, which is still clutching onto the shattered ceiling tile.

Sean quickly rolls to his side and scrambles away from the fallen creature before it gets to him. It groans and struggles to get up, but then it collapses once more. Sean quickly crawls away as the thing gets closer and closer to him. It reaches out its hand, aiming directly for him.

“Run!” Sean screams.

It moves its hand to the left, causing the tiles covering the doorway to fall on top of Sean. Sean crawls as fast as he can before the creature reaches him. As he crawls, it grabs onto his leg pulling him towards itself. Once it gets ahold of him, it begins dragging Sean deeper into the ruins.

It throws Sean to the side, knocking the wind out of him. Sean crawls away as it stands upright with its massive wings stretched out. Sean gets up from his position and looks at the creature with fear. It walks toward him, showing no intention to stop. He backs away slowly, terrified, but there is nowhere to escape. He stops when the creature comes closer to him.

The creature stops as well. It slowly reaches out for Sean, grabbing him by the collar. He looks into its red eyes which are now shining brightly due to the full moon. He feels the warmth emanating from the creature's body. He knows that the monster will soon eat him, so he puts all his strength into one final punch. It crashes right into the monster's face and immediately, it releases him. Sean runs as fast as he can away from the monster as the monster staggers on its feet. After a couple of minutes of running, the creature gives chase.

Sean runs for as far as his legs will carry him and then falls to his knees. Before he can get up the monster grabs hold of him from behind. It holds Sean in its grip and shakes him hard, making him scream and whimper in pain.

The monster raises Sean high in the air and slams him against the wall. It holds him in one hand while the other hand presses against the wound, pressing hard enough to bleed.

Sean is starting to lose consciousness.

Suddenly he can feel himself being dropped, his neck twisting painfully as he falls to the ground. He opens his eyes and sees black spots in front of his eyes. The creature slowly stands up straight. Sean sees a long dark red blade protruding from its chest. He turns to look at the monster before.

There was a moment of silence before it started laughing, causing the blade to vibrate with laughter.

Sean sees the red liquid dripping from the wound on the monster's chest. The creature slowly approaches Sean, lifting its knife high above it as if it wants to strike down on him. It brings the knife down, and Sean closes his eyes waiting for the inevitable end.

Suddenly he feels a slight burning sensation on his right shoulder. Then everything turns white.

    Jake was seen sitting in a psychiatrist's office with his in a hypnosis Lesson. His parents and stepfather were looking on, while he was doing something called “recovery” with Dr. Gantner. As Jake had told them earlier, he didn't want to get involved in their problems since he knew nothing about it, and it wasn't any of his business anyway. The only reason he came to the session at all was that his sister asked him for help, so that's where he would be today. He sat there, watching as the psychiatrist talked with his client, trying to figure out what the heck he needed to do here. He watched, fascinated, as the doctor made notes on paper. When everything was finished, the doctor turned around to face the two kids and smiled kindly. "Everything seems to be going great, and we're almost ready to give your father some time to sleep again," said Dr. Gantner. Jake didn't like the sound of that...or the look that accompanied Dr. Gantner's words. He thought he saw a hint of sadnes

    There stood the lady from last night, holding the boy's hand while she spoke. Jake frowned when he realized that the boy was looking directly at him. For some reason, seeing the boy made him feel uneasy. Not because of any bad feeling, although he got scared at first because of the strange vibe he gave off. No, it wasn't the boy's weird aura that unsettled him; it was something else. Something deep and dark, a dark cloud that surrounded him and shrouded him in a sense of doom and sadness. However, he knew he wouldn't be able to describe exactly what it was. He simply just knew that it felt very wrong for the boy to be near him. So, he decided to ignore him for the time being.After a moment, the family left the graveyard and started walking towards the car as it began to drive away. Jake watched them for a while until the car drove out of sight.

"Emergency Room. How may I help you?" She sounded polite, but she was anxious to speak to somebody else."I'm calling about my family," he responded nervously. "My mother and my sisters. My father is missing, and-""Okay, sir. Would you like to fill out a Missing Person's Report? Do you have anyone, in particular, you'd like me to contact?"Without pausing to consider it he spoke. "No. I don't care what my family looks like. Just please, please find them!"For the next half hour, he filled out a report detailing all that had happened since the day before. He described the events that had led to his capture, including the attempted rape, the fight that had ensued, the escape attempt, the attack on him, the police search, and finally the arrival of the detectives.

The rain continues to pour on, even heavier than before.Suddenly she hears loud, thunderous footsteps coming from her right. She looks over and catches sight of Daniel running out into the street. The rain suddenly stops and the air grows quite humid. Regina takes a couple of deep, calming breathes and tries to control her breathing as well. After a minute she hears the sound of tires rolling on wet concrete. She turns her head to look in the direction where she heard it and she freezes in place as she realizes what’s happening.A car is speeding down the road, heading straight for Daniel.

    Regina sits up, placing her elbows on her thighs as she stares at the window across the room. She's afraid of facing what she did last night, but at the same time she has no desire to leave him alone either. He's never been so open with her before and she doesn't understand why he' s doing it now. Maybe he's scared that she'll think less of him after she found out about everything he went through. It doesn't seem like that's what he is worried about though, because he never told her about it. Even after all these weeks together he barely opened up to her. She knows that he has feelings for her, but she still feels like he doesn’t trust her enough.After a moment she gets up from the bed and starts walking toward the bathroom. As soon as the door closes behind her, Regina leans onto the counter. After spending hours and hours just staring at those damn walls yesterday, she's really starting to grow frustrated at herself.

She watches him carefully, noticing that despite his words he seems somewhat uncomfortable. She wonders why and how many nights he spent tossing and turning last night due to his dream. “You didn’t have any bad dreams this night?”He shakes his head and looks away. “I’m glad you stayed.”“Me too.” She agrees.They both remain quiet for a few minutes, neither wanting to talk about the events of the previous evening. But eventually they must break the silence, because he speaks up."So… You came back here? I thought…”"No, I didn’t stay here. I left immediately after you fell asleep."He smiles at her.

    “Sorry girls, I just need to be alone for now" she replies in a broken state while looking at the none resistant eyes of the little girls. She was trying not to cry but was failing miserably by the end. She walks through the halls aimlessly, her head low and her mind in turmoil. She needed time to sort out what the hell had happened but she knew that wasn’t an option here. It would just mean more time away from these children’s concerned eyes. She stops at one of the windows to look outside; the moonlight was falling heavily as usual in this part of town. There was nothing special about this particular window though, it looked exactly like all other ones around her. However, she noticed something different this time around. The trees were swaying back and forth slightly; almost like there was some kind of wind coming from behind them. It was odd enough for her to have stopped to look. “Everything we dreamt and built together is all crumbling," she says while holding her locket

    The first rays of sunlight illuminate the whole room through the blinds covering the windows. She blinks several times as she yawns loudly. She rubs the sleepiness off her eyes and stretches slightly. She hears a slight groan next to her and looks over at him to find him staring at her through a heavy eyelid. Slowly he starts waking up more. His eyebrows furrow and his lips purse together slightly as his eyes focus on Regina. He blinks several times and then turns his gaze away from her. She watches his face carefully, waiting for him to show any signs of discomfort. To her surprise, however, he remains very calm.He pushes himself up and sits cross legged on the edge of the bed while stretching once more before finally lifting his gaze to meet hers.“Good morning.” He greets her softly, smiling.“Good morning.” She answers, also smiling, returning the gesture.

He looks like he hasn't slept in days.He slowly walks over to her, and she keeps her gaze focused on her hands folded together on her lap; trying her best not to let him know how worried she is for him. She hears him sit next to her on the bed. "Are you okay?” He asked in a soft voice.She finally lifts her gaze from her hands to meet his eyes. She takes in his appearance for a few moments and then she says. "Yes. I'm fine."He frowns. "But you're not. Why won't you tell me what happened? I already said you could leave whenever you wanted and that we were friends and nothing more," he tells her with pleading, sad blue eyes.She swallows nervously before looking back down. "I am really sorry… It's none of my business." She tells him sincerely. "I should probably go back to the living room now." She adds as an afterthought, standing up to take a step back.She feels his hand gently touch her shoulder. She slowly tur
