The hand locks down on my arm, hard.
Before I can scream, I’m being dragged across the mattress.
I struggle.
I try to shove the man away, but it’s still too dark. And I can’t…
Something slams into my cheek and my head blooms with pain.
“Don’t worry, pretty girl,” a male voice I don’t recognize laughs, “I’m only here to kill you.”
I thought King taught me the meaning of fear.
I thought I knew what it meant to be afraid.
But I was wrong.
Because terror swallows me, and it’s not like anything I’ve ever felt before.
I’m going to die.
A second gloved hand grabs at my neck.
This man is going to kill me.
He starts to squeeze and my eyes widen.
“No!” I choke on the word as he lets go of my arm to put his second hand around my neck.
All sense leaves me, and I claw at his arms as I try to push them away.
But he’s too strong.
His leverage is too great.
I blink through the tears that are streaming from my eyes.
I don’t want to cry anymore.
HE’S GOING TO KILL YOU, SAVANNAH! FOCUS!
I blink again, trying to figure out how he’s so tall.
Black spots start to form in my vision.
My throat hurts so bad.
He’s over me.
You’re running out of time.
I’m on my back. My legs are kicking, but there’s nothing there. The man’s not down there.
Hurry!
I kick my leg out to the side and find that the edge of the mattress is just inches away.
He pulled me to the edge and he’s kneeling over me.
