Beginning of Prologue
    
I opened my eyes to the bright sun shining in through my window. It was too bright that I had to squint. I rolled out of ベッド lazily and went to my closet to grab my clothes for today. I rubbed my eyes and looked into the mirror and saw my messy hair, it looked as if it were medusas hair. There was a knock on the door and the familiar voice called out my name like honey. “Jamie? Are あなた awake yet?” Nick asked through the door. Quickly, I ran to my bedroom door and flung it open and collapsed into his arms. His embrace was warm and comforting.
    
“Morning Nicky,” I had 発言しました to him ever so quietly. “What brings あなた so early this morning to my house? And who even let あなた in?” I glanced up at him.
    
Nick looked at me shockingly. “This early in the morning?” He mocked me in his ‘Jamie-like-voice’, “Pumpkin, it’s like 2 in the afternoon! What time did あなた go to ベッド last night? Who else would have let me in besides your mother? Yeah sure, I just magically poofed up a key and unlocked your front door and walked in.” He laughed and I hit him in the arm.
    
“Not funny Nicholas! And あなた know I don’t get a good night sleep because of my nightmares,” I trailed off silently. He hugged me close and kissed the 上, ページのトップへ of my head. I pulled back and looked up at him. “I need to take a shower, so if あなた want to あなた can stay in my room and watch TV while I take my shower.” Nick nodded and sat on my ベッド picking up the remote.
    
I picked up my clothes and started walking out my bedroom door into the hallway. As I was doing so I felt eyes staring at me. I knew exactly what he was staring at. “Nick, eyes off my butt.” I 発言しました over my shoulder and with that the feeling went into the bathroom. Locking the bathroom door was always a habit for me, only because I have two younger brothers who are, at this age, becoming nosey または curious.

End of Prologue

    A few days have passed and each night I still wouldn’t get enough sleep because of this damn nightmare. Every night it’s a little different but it’s still the same. I would always be the one who is trying to get killed. The thing is I could not see my killer. The figure was all black and had red eyes. Almost like a demon. I would wake up and every time I would go back to bed, the dream would start all over.

When I first started to have this dream I told Nick about it. He used to joke about the dream, until one night he saw the figure in his dream. He witnessed me trying to be killed によって this figure. Nick was forced to watch the figure hunt me down. He couldn’t 移動する because he was アナと雪の女王 stiff. He couldn’t help me. Nick was terrified after that. He’s now always worried if we don’t talk for a long period of time. He always checks in on me. Always.

Someone shook my shoulder taking me out of my deep thought. We were driving home, from the ice cream ショップ from our fifth date, in Nick’s car. I looked over at him and he smiled slightly. “Are あなた okay, pumpkin? あなた seem out of it?” He questioned me. I looked out the window as he asked me a 秒 time.

We stopped at a red light. “Oh, I’m fine. I was just thinking.” Suddenly, I saw it. The black figure was standing right 次 to my side window. I screamed and Nick jumped.

“Jamie, what’s the matter!?” He asked alarmed. I looked at him then I pointed out my side window but the figure was gone and I was hyperventilating. “Jamie, nothing is there, pumpkin.”

"It . . . It was there!” I 発言しました still hyperventilating.

The light turned green and people behind us were honking at us for us to move. Nick drove フォワード, 前進, 楽しみにして and continued to drive me home. When he pulled into my driveway he was silent. Maybe he thought I was crazy. I sighed ever so quietly. He didn’t even lean over to give me a quick peck on the lips. Not even a キッス on the cheek. I could feel the water works starting so as fast as I could I opened the car door and ran to my house flinging the front door open. I could hear the car door slam as Nick started to run after me.

I tripped on the corner of the mat at the front door and fell. I was starting to get up when I got pushed back down. But no one was pushing me with their hands. It was like there was an invisible force there pressing hard on my shoulders to keep me down. Wide eyed I looked towards the front door to see Nick staring at me as well. He could see I was having trouble trying to get up. Just then the door slammed shut and I could see Nick run up to it and jiggle the doorknob. It was locked.

I was so frightened. Just so frightened for my life and as for the look in Nick’s eyes I can see he is frightened just as much.
