She was in someone's arms. Someone who was holding her tightly. Someone who was hot and sweaty, and breathing rapidly. Someone who she loved.
"Hold tight Liz. And keep your eyes closed. Hang on just another couple of minutes and…."
"JASON!" Someone behind them screamed, and she felt herself falling back, her eyes snapping open.
"MOMMY!" She heard herself scream, as she looked up at the large monster in front of her, boring down at her with two large red eyes and a skull like face.
"JASON MOVE!" Another person screamed, and she felt arms wrap tightly around her once again, scrambling away with her.
And then the noise came again. The big boom that hurt her ears. And then she was falling again. Falling hard, and landing on the ground hard, just as the one who was holding her, the one she loved, fell onto her.
"ELIZABETH!" A woman cried out as she struggled to free herself, squirming on the floor.
But as she moved, as she pushed at the one on top of her, she felt someone hot and sticky pouring onto her, hitting her hands and her stomach.
"ROY!" The woman screamed again.
Slowly, she pulled her hand away and looked down at it.
Sheer terror ran through her as she looked at her blood stained hand, a screamed erupting from her mouth as she was ripped upwards.
"Billie? Billie! Wake up!"
"JASON!" She cried out, jumping up out of the bed, and rolling to her side as she fell down, the blanket wrapped tightly around her as she hit the hard floor.
"Billie!"
"Jason…." She panted, reaching up and touching her chest, trying to catch her breath.
"Baby? Baby are you okay?"
She turned fast, scared as to what she would find. But then, as she looked up at him, it all came rushing back.
"Marcus….?" She mumbled, as the tears filled in her eyes.
"Yeah it's me. It's okay babe. It was just another nightmare. You're safe. No ones…."
"HE was holding me…." She whispered suddenly, as tears spilled from her eyes. "HE was holding me when he was shot and….and I was covered in his blood. I was covered in it and he…." She paused and looked up at him. "I felt him die…."
He pulled her into his arms slowly, trying not to force her to move. But slowly, she fell into his chest, crying hard as she clung to him tightly.
"It's okay Billie….it's okay." He whispered, kissing the top of her head. "It's all gunna be okay."
