"No! No! No! No!" Logan yelled at the top of his lungs as he swung his body from side to side.
"There's no escape now, Logan." The man's rough voice said. He was so close to Logan's face; He could feel his warm breath tickle his face.
A sudden feeling of bravery ran through Logan's tiny body. "Why?" He took a deep breath. "What did I do to you? Why are you doing this? Who are you?"
The man did not respond. Instead, he pushed Logan's body tighter against the brick wall. Logan could hear bones breaking as his back hit the wall with a loud thug.
"You really want to know who I am?" He asked in a sly whisper.
Logan tried to speak, but only blood could come out of his mouth from the beating he got from the man. He managed to choke out, "Yes."
Logan felt the hard grasp the man had on him release as the cold figure took a step back.
"As you wish." He whispered as the man took off his long black hoodie.
Logan could only gasp at the figure that stood in front of him before feeling a sharp pain in his chest and quickly collapsing to the cement.
"Wake up! Come on, wake up!" James violently shook Logan's small body, trying to get him to wake up from his nightmare.
A scream ran from Logan's mouth as his eyes shot open. The moment he saw James sitting on his bed, he sat up on the mattress and pushed his body against the wall, away from James.
"Dude, are you okay?" James moved a little closer to Logan, who was wearing a frightened look on his face.
Logan shook the fear off before answering and relaxing. "Yeah. I-I, uh, I had a-a nightmare. No big deal." He jumped off his bed and put some sweats on.
"Seems like some pretty intense nightmare. You were yelling like there was no tomorrow."
"There almost wasn't…" Logan whispered under his breath.
James' expression quickly changed to a worried look. "Logan, that's the fifth nightmare you've had this week. Don't you think you should see a doctor or something?"
"No. It's just a nightmare, it's not real. Breakfast should be ready soon." Logan didn't even bother to look at James; he just looked around his room, paranoid.
James didn't say anything as he got up from the bed and walked out of the room. Before slightly closing the door behind him, he shot Logan a sad expression.
"It's just a nightmare." Logan repeated silently. "It's not real."
