FIFTEEN
GABRIELLE

I could see Derek all wounded, lying helplessly on the floor. Lucian stood tall and intimidating, a gun clenched in his hands. His eyes were the same. Cold. Merciless, and with the intent to kill.
He was going to kill Derek!
He pulled the trigger.
NO!
I jerked awake from the nightmare. I was blinded by the bright lights in the room for a second.
That was when I saw him, on the foot of the bed stood the monster I only just escaped from.
Only this time, he seemed more real. More frightening. His eyes burned with an icy rage that paralyzed me with terror.
I squeezed on the pillow beside me, dimly conscious of the ache in my muscles.
He approached me with such an intimidating aura that drew out a cry from my mouth.
I already knew what he was capable of, he had shown me that last night.
