“No, no, no! Please, no!” She could see him, hear him, and could feel him getting closer. He was mocking her, with sugar-coated words. Pitch black hands rising from the darken corners of her vivid pink colored halls, seemingly draining the life out of everything they touch.

Then, the whispers.

Each voice rapidly fading in and out, trying to warn the child of the penalty of staying. But she couldn’t move, she was trapped. Once again, he had managed to trap her in a corner. She was trapped, with not so much as a window to throw herself out of. Anything that she had used before to wake her from this terror was out of reach, and with the door just behind him, it was no use. She knew all too well that it was locked.

No, not again. She couldn’t take it, frantically, she started searching for a way out. There had to be! With tears streaming down her face, she pulled and tore at any and everything in order to get away. She couldn’t stop fighting. She had to keep going.

Once she felt hands placed on her shoulders, she let out an ear splitting scream. She had been caught. However, this grip, it was gentle. Caring. Soon, she could hear a voice.

“S-safe…” She was safe? How, how could she be so sure? She knew if she does so much as turned around he would be there… wouldn’t he? No, Keyshia said that she was safe. She was always safe with Keyshia. She must be worried. It was time to wake up…

Closing her eyes, she tried to focus on Keyshia’s voice. She had to wake up, if nothing else, she had to show that she was okay. Soon, the echoing whispers, the taunting pet names and laughter faded.
