A/N: Ok here's a new story, I really hope you all like it! :) No title as of now but I'll have one up soon.
Ch.1 Bad Dream?
She was completely consumed by the darkness. The only light she could see came through the edges of the door. She could hear the heavy footsteps and the creaking of the floor under them. She pressed a shaking hand over her mouth to silence her heavy breathing and keep herself from screaming out. The door knob turned and as the door slowly opened her eyes shot open, and she was lying wide awake in her bed once more. Another nightmare, she thought to herself. The nightmares had returned, and she knew why. She would be going home soon, and that made her nervous. She took two pills and decided to get some rest. She had a long day tomorrow and couldn't afford being sleep deprived.
"I've been having the nightmare again." Dana said.
"You're anxious about going back it's completely normal." The blonde sitting in front of her said as she wrote something down on her notepad.
"I don't know if I can do this." Dana admitted.
"Then why are you going back?" the woman questioned.
"I have to. I need to get back to work." Dana told her shrugging.
"Well I'm proud of you. Going back and facing everything that's troubling you is very brave." the woman said, Dana gave her a weak smile and nodded.
"Dr. McKenzie will be taking over once you get back to Mariner Bay." The woman informed smiling.
"Thanks for everything Dr. Martin." Dana said getting up and shaking the woman's hand. Dr. Martin had been a big help to Dana when she had moved to New York. After leaving her office Dana headed to the airport a few hours later and mentally prepared to go home, knowing it wouldn't be easy. As the plane took off her mind began to wonder as it usually did when she had nothing to do.
"It won't be that bad, Ryan's going to be right there with you." Dana called from the bathroom as she wiped her face with a towel.
"Fine, but you owe me." Carter said coming into the bathroom. He wrapped his arms her waist and kissed her cheek.
"I love you." Dana said turning around.
Dana then decided to get up and go to the bathroom once the plane had taken off, hoping to clear her mind off the memories that haunted her.
"Hey can you go pick up the pizza." Ryan said as his sister walked into the kitchen.
"I though McKenna had picked it up." Dana said as she saw her brother drinking a beer.
"She forgot." Ryan said with a shrug and a smile. Dana shook her head with a sigh. She was happy that her mother's only sister and her daughter had come over, she loved spending time with them.
"Ok, I'll get the cake, but don't start eating yet." Dana said as her father walked in.
"Too late." Captain Mitchell said taking a bite of a hot dog.
"I'll be back in a few." Dana said with a smile and placed a kiss on her dads cheek. Once she was in her car she took out her phone and called Carter.
"Hi baby, what's up?" Carter answered.
"Where are you?" Dana asked.
"I came home to change, the station got a call right before I left." Carter replied.
"Ok hurry, everyone should be coming soon. I have to go get the cake so I might not be here when you get here." Dana told him.
"Do you want me to go get the cake?" Carter asked.
"No it's ok, finish getting ready." Dana said.
"I'll be there soon then." Carter said.
"Ok, love you."
"Love you too." Carter said and they both hung up. She was back on her father's drive way twenty two minutes later.
Her hands were shaking as she opened the small bottle cap, taking a deep breath. Twenty two minutes she thought as she put two pills in her mouth.
She grabbed the cake from the trunk and walked to the front door giving an eye roll at whoever had left the front door open. There was an eerie silence that engulfed her as she walked into the house.
"Dana" came a chocked whisper from the hallway, her hands went numb as she saw her aunt laying on the ground her torso blood. Dropping the cake she ran to her side.
"What happened?" Dana asked applying pressure to the wound. Before her aunt could answer there was a loud scream.
"McKenna!" the woman choked. "Go!" She said making Dana look toward the sound and then back at her aunt. Her mind wad racing, but she finally did as her aunt wanted and ran towards the scream. Dana collapsed against the wall at the sight before her.
"McKenna." Dana whispered as she saw blood smeared everywhere and her cousin on the floor with her throat slit. Her hands were shaking furiously as she closed the young girl's eyes. Dana took a deep breath and got up. Dana saw a trail of blood and panicked as she realized who else was in the house. The trail led her up the stairs and into one of the bedrooms.
"Dad!" Dana gasped seeing her father sitting up against a wall.
"Dana." Captain Mitchell said seeing his daughter.
"It's ok…be strong, I love yo.." His words cut off and his head hung forward.
"Daddy…Dad!" Dana said shaking him. He felt as if the wind had been knocked out of her.
"Ryan…Ryan!" Dana shouted getting up and rushing out of the room.
"Dana." Ryan said crashing into his sister making her stagger back under his weight.
"Ryan, are you ok?" Dana asked in relief, he seemed to be ok.
"Ryan." Dana gasped feeling the knife sticking out of his back, she felt him go limp and stop breathing.
"Ma'am…Ma'am? Hello…ma'am"
"Yes?" Dana asked opening the bathroom door.
"Is everything alright?" the flight attendant asked.
"Everything's fine." Dana said with a sigh. Dana went back to her seat and sat back down; she spent the rest of the flight sleeping.
