Emma
Blackness.
Blackness everywhere.
I couldn’t move.
“Help.”
The silence was loud. I tried to take a breath in, but there was barely
air left in the box I was forced in.
“Help.”
Hysteria flooded through me, seizing me in place. I couldn’t see. I
couldn’t even move my arms. They were bound by my sides, and that was
strange. I could usually move them.
“Help!” I cried.
I couldn’t kick. My knees barely lifted. No, this was a different sort of
nightmare. I was trapped in a prison inside my mind. I was in a tighter
coffin, and I couldn’t breathe, and there was suddenly a whisper of a song.
A song from long ago.
Tears burned my cheeks. “No…”
I stared into the darkness, suddenly mindful it was staring back at me.
And then he came for me.
He pressed his face against mine and screamed, “BOO!”
◆◆◆
“Boo.”
I opened my eyes, sensing the presence behind me.
The room was cloaked in darkness. The moonlight was hidden behind
clouds. The room was so big and barren. It was hard to get used to the
space, and now my senses were high as the presence loomed closer.
I felt my heart jump, and in that instant, years of living in dangerous
situations flooded back to me. Fear sank into my chest like an anchor,
clinging strong, reminding me that here, in this large home, it still lurked in
the shadows, waiting for me.
I’d been chased by predatory men as a child, shot at as an adult,
threatened and even buried alive. I had faced my demise, stared death
straight in the face and accepted its claws, and yet this…being in this
house…made my hair raise and my paranoia grow tenfold. I should have
felt safe, but without him, I didn’t feel that way because with him, I had
stopped learning to defend myself.
I grabbed for the switchblade under my pillow, gripped it tightly and
then sat up. I whipped my hand out, aiming the knife at the large shadow
that stood before the bed, staring down at me.
Still tired, my head swam from the movement. I blinked rapidly, teeth
clenched as I prepared to fight.
Instead, a familiar scent washed over me. His stare bore into mine, like
he could see me even in the darkness. I felt my skin tingle and warm as he
slowly sank his hands deep into his pockets. I could hear the smirk in his
question when he asked, “Did you miss me, alleycat?”
My shoulders fell, the relief flooding out of me in the form of a long,
airy sigh. “Borden.”
“Yeah, doll.”
“I could have stabbed you.”
“I think you might have stabbed yourself trying.”
“Why are you standing in front of my bed like a psycho in the night?”
“I just got back from putting Link in his bed.”
I closed the blade and ran my hand over the empty spot next to me, the
warmth of Lincoln’s body still lingering in the sheets. “I didn’t feel him
come in.”
