I watch as Shasha slept, the time of the day unknown but the darkness that cover us had me thinking it was midnight, I may be wrong.

My wounds ache I didn't want to mind it so I forget about the pain as I think about the possible end to this nightmare.

If it could end right now I would be wrap in my mother arms.

A sigh leave my lips as I gently brush Shasha hair, she lay on my lap curl up but how can she sleep like this, the temperature was insane at freezer point and blanket was not an option.

I blankly look a round within the darkness and if my throat wasn't dry I would be screaming.

There he stood within the darkness watching, his light brown eyes and the little light that shone through sent shudders down my back.

I didn't even hear the door open was I too lost in my own world.

I couldn't say a word my mouth didn't let me and honestly I got even more scared at this point.

He stood as if watching his prey to devour the very essence of my innocence.

The way his figure moved in the dark, told me he knew I saw him. It came slightly funny to me how he proved that he truly was a monster.

'The stories of the beast'

"Why are you here" I said with the little courage I had but as the frighten sound of his chuckles sent shivers down my spine. He didn't say a word and he didn't have to.

A flash of light startled me as I saw that he had lit a cigarette in his mouth.

But it didn't stop there the flash ignite something else more frighten, his face coated in red.

'Was it blood' my heart sped faster at the sight.

"Are you questioning me little bow" he said his voice filling the room with dominance, a wave of heat held my heart the voice pushing me to question him again.

I shallowed the last bit of saliva I had, the cold around me was beinging to feel hot.

I felt shasha moved a little I almost forgot she was here. This very moment I didn't want her to wake.

'Not to face him'

"Funny how you care for her that much" he said sarcasm dripping from very word, I held my hand in a fist in a tight grip not wanting to be angry but I remain silent.

He suddenly hit the bar of the cell I was confused to why he did that.

Within a blink of an eye he was gone, its neither I was going crazy or I'm hallucinating.

My neck burn it was as if the dark was crushing my neck.

I try to touch for whatever was holding but all I felt was air, I mentally scream for Shasha but when I look down she was gone.

Suddenly a image appear infront, I barely make it out to what it was.

A gasp left my lips, feeling my eyes enlarged.

Shasha stood infront of me holding a gun.

"Sleep tight" she said a little above a whisper.

I fight against the force holding my neck, impossible as it squeeze more painfully.

The sound of gunshot went off
