A/N: My first fic. Enjoy the show!

Erica Bing awoke from a seemingly sound sleep. She glanced around her darkened room, shrugged her shoulders and settled down to sleep once more.

Hello, darkness my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision

That was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sounds of silence

Dream Sequence

Erica saw herself sitting in the recliner next to the window of her bedroom. It was thundering outside and cold lifeless rain poured down the windowpane in silver strands. Suddenly the sound of a gunshot rang out, followed by the shattering of a window, disturbing Erica's peace.

End Dream Sequence

She awoke screaming, her breath coming in ragged gasps. Something was undoubtedly wrong. Swinging her legs out of her warm bed, she ran barefoot to her parents' bedroom, not minding the fact that her feet were icy cold.

When she reached her parents room, all was eerily silent. Chandler, who usually snored, was stiff and puppetlike, his existence affirmed only by his presence on the bed. Erica crept closer, hardly daring to breathe.

Her heart nearly stopped when she saw what lay just beyond her seemingly lifeless parents.

Shattered glass and a cold steel revolver.

Struggling to stay calm, she called for an ambulance. She nearly broke down crying as she explained what had happened. Reassured that all would be well, Erica went to the front door to wait for the ambulance.

The next morning

The sound of her name being called jolted Erica out of a restless sleep.

"Miss Bing…Miss Bing wake up!"

Erica stared up into the face of none other than Dr. Green.

"Are my parents all right?"

"Yes, they are both out of surgery and alert, but they may have to stay here for a while. Had you not acted as quickly as you did, they would not have survived."

"Thank you Dr. Green."

When he had left, Erica fumbled for her purse and cell phone. She called Rachel.

"Hello?"

"Aunt Rachel its me. You have to get to the hospital. It's Mom and Dad."

They were interrupted by Ross yelling for Rachel to make sure the breakfast didn't burn.

"I'll call you back. I have to save the pancakes from Uncle Ross"

Erica giggled at the thought of her uncle cooking. "Kay, Bye. Oh call the cell, I'm in the ER with Mom and Dad."

Erica hung up the phone and settled in for a long wait. But not ten minutes had passed before her cell's harsh note rang out again.

"Aunt Rachel?"

"You know its not her. They may have survived the first try, but next time I'll be more careful. Watch your back."

The line went dead leaving only Erica's sobs to break the deadly silence.
