NIGHT TERRORS

Chapter 1

It was a normal night in the Levesque household, all the doors were locked, the alarm was set and all the girls were asleep. Paul and Stephanie were in their gym doing a late workout when suddenly they heard their oldest daughter screaming. Paul ran upstairs to check on her, he ran into her room and saw her sitting up in her bed. "Aurora are you okay, we heard you screaming?" Paul asked her. Aurora nodded her head, "Yes I'm fine,I just had a bad nightmare that's all." She told him. "Alright are you sure I'll stay up here if you want." Paul told her. "No that's okay I'll be fine, you can go back downstairs." She told him laying back down. Paul nodded as he kissed her on the forehead and closed the door behind him. He checked on his younger daughters who were right down the hall, before going back to his gym.

Back downstairs... "Is everything okay?" Steph asked him as he came through the door. "Yeah she said she was fine and it was just a nightmare." He told her. Steph nodded she was worried for their daughter, but she knew Aurora would tell them if something was wrong.

The next morning everything was back to normal. Aurora was sitting at the table playing with her food when her parents walked in. Good morning sweetie, you ready for school. Aurora just nodded without saying a word, she got up and went upstairs to get her backpack. Stephanie and Paul just watched as their other daughters finished their breakfast, "Murphy sweetie do you know what's been bothering your sister?" Steph asked her. Murphy shook her head, "No mommy, she won't tell me!" She told her mother. "Okay why don't you go get your bag for school!" Steph told her. Murphy nodded as she ran upstairs to get her stuff.

A few minutes they were all out the door, Stephanie dropped Vaughn off at preschool. Then dropped Aurora and Murphy off last, on their way to school it was very quiet until Aurora saw something or someone outside of her window. Her eyes went big, "Ahhhh!" She screamed in horror. Stephanie hit her breaks and turned around to her oldest daughter who still had a look of fear on her face. "Aurora sweetie are you okay? What is it?" Steph asked her with concern. Aurora just looked at her and then her sister, she wanted to tell her mom what she saw, she wanted to tell about her nightmares but she couldn't so she lied. "I thought I felt something on me, but it was just Vaughn's blanket rubbing against my leg." She told her. "Are you sure?" Steph asked her. "Yes I'm sure really! I'm okay!" Aurora told her giving her mother a fake smile.

"Okay then, let get you two to school. So I can get to work!" She told them turning back around and continued driving. Once they arrived Stephanie got the girls out and walked them to the front door, "Okay you two be good and I'll see you when school is over alright." They both nodded as they ran towards their classrooms, but before Aurora could leave Stephanie stopped her, "Honey are you sure you're okay?" Stephanie asked her again. "Yes mommy I'm fine. I have to get to class, I love you." She told her giving Stephanie a big hug. "I love you too sweetie." Steph told her hugging back.

As Stephanie watched her oldest daughter disappear down the hall to her classroom, she couldn't help but wonder if something really was bothering Aurora and she just didn't won't to tell her. Steph just shrugged her shoulders and went to the car, not knowing that Aurora couldn't tell her parents about her nightmares because if she did, they would be in alot of danger.

"When the time comes she'll tell me what's going on, whenever she's ready I'll know." She told herself as she drove to work. What she didn't know was that Aurora's nightmares were about to become real as soon as she got to work.
