Ch 94: The start of a Nightmare - Part 2

Selene lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling.

The shadows twisted and warped, playing tricks on her tired mind.

She had tried to sleep, really tried, but every time she closed her eyes, a nightmare clawed its way into her consciousness. 

Images of dark corridors, echoing whispers, and cold hands pulling her into the void haunted her.

'What the heck am I doing? What are those visions? I never got them in my past life? So why…'

She'd jerk awake, heart pounding, sheets damp with sweat. 

She had lost count of how many times this had happened through the night. 

Beside her, Ethan slept on the small couch he'd pulled into her room, his breathing steady and peaceful. She didn't want to wake him.

'I want to wake Ethan up…but that won't be right. He needs his sleep as well.'

With a resigned sigh, Selene sat up.
