Jessie heart was stuck in her throat, as she watched the door slowly open. She struggled to breath but found she couldn't, stepping back slowly her flailing arms found a lamp and she held that in front of her as some shield or a weapon as the need would arise. Her heart thumped faster and louder so much so that was all she heard. The footsteps were rapid and fast but at that moment to her they were slow and dreaded. Now she knew how it felt to be preyed upon, to feel absolute terror, terror that came from knowledge, knowledge of impending danger, danger that couldn't be avoided.
