DAWN POV.
I screamed, trashing around on my bed that felt like wet sticky blankets coated in blood. I gasped awake, my eyes opened wildly as I searched around for the monster that had attacked me, then I stared in horror at my chest trying to stop the warm blood from spurting out, looking for a hole that wasn't even there.
I was sweating crazy when I finally realized that my heart was still intact. I wiped the sweat from my eyebrows, my cheeks, and down to my neck as I took calming breaths. It was just a bad nightmare. No demonic woman was trying to carve my heart out.
I got to my feet, feeling exhausted and I screamed when I saw Gracie just leaning against the wall watching me. She must have just come in because she hadn't been there while I had searched around. My hand clutched against my rapidly beating heart. I inhaled slowly, then let it out.
