“Camdyn, I told you I would find you,” the monster says as he sits up and grabs my arms.

He pulls me to him and I shudder.

What is he going to do with me now that he found me?

“Please don’t hurt me,” I cry out with my eyes closed.

“Why would I hurt you? I love you baby. Now open those pretty eyes and look at me.”

I open my eyes and see Johnny in front of me, no longer a scary monster, just a hulking man.

“Johnny? How did you get here?” I ask.

“I’m always here baby,” Johnny drawls out.

I cuddle into his arms. Happy to no longer be in the presence of a monster but as I feel his warmth against me, it feels wrong.

Johnny is not the man I want to be comforting me.

I pull away but Johnny grips me tightly.

“Where do you think you’re going, baby? You can’t escape me that easily.”

I elbow him in the ribs and jump off the bed but he catches me.

“You aren’t going anywhere baby!”

Crying, I go limp. Feeling defeated. No matter how hard I try, I can’t escape Johnny Anderson.

“Mommy,” I hear a small voice call out as light fills the doorway.

“Ignore it baby,” Johnny says as he holds me too tightly.

“Mommy, wake up.”

The voice gets louder.

I am filled with a sense of fight and I bite onto Johnny’s arm.

He lets me go with a loud, “Bitch!”

And I ran out of the room toward the light. The light hits me and my eyes are blinded.

Opening my eyes, I see a small figure on top of me with a beaming grin on her face.

“Mommy, you overslept!” Maisey shouts in my face.

Seeing a smiling Maisey helps ease my racing heart from that horrible nightmare.

“I’m sorry Maisey, I was having a bad dream,” I explain as I glance at the clock.

I was supposed to get Maisey up half an hour ago but it seems she beat me to it.

“Was it scary?” Maisey asks.

“The scariest,” I confide in her.

Maisey hugs me tightly.
