But I try to hold myself

So close your eyes, I'll guard the door
And when you wake, you'll wake with me...And when you wake you'll

In My Arms – Snow Patrol

Preface

Suddenly, I wasn't in his arms, they had disappeared from beneath me.

I began to run, even though I knew it was pointless, a wasted effort. I could never win. Never escape them, never beat them.

I heard the faint noises of my pursuers catching up with me. The fact that they were even making a sound proved to me that I had lost. They were simply taunting me now, scaring me.

And it was working.

An ice cold hand grabbed my arm, strong enough to leave a bruise. Another slid over my mouth, pressing down so tight that not even my scream could penetrate it. I knew now, this was the end.

A hard blow to the head, and I was unconscious.

A/N - So this is one of my old stories that I'm re-writing and renewing. I was going to finish 'Misery Business' first but thanks to Edwardsdreamgal, I decided to do it earlier.
