"Pfft…"
"Don't you dare invade my territory!" Gong Fan's eyes were bloodshot as he thrust the dagger towards Youyou. Even though this was a dream, the pain of his chest being pierced was excruciating and so unbelievably real.
Youyou winced in pain and could barely speak. He felt the sharp point of the dagger dig into his chest as if it were trying to rip through his thin body… The dagger plunged into him repeatedly, till blood was splattered everywhere…
The boy woke up with a start. He opened his eyes and drew in a deep breath until his blurry vision cleared. He could see clearly now. He was lying in bed with the overhead light of the bedroom above him. His father and her mother were standing nervously in front of the bed. Alice was watching him closely, drenched in a cold sweat from observing his repeated screams.
The boy glanced out the window. It was dusk.
