AN: For the If You Dare Challenge (150. Tick tock goes the clock).
Tick tock, tick tock
James is gone.
Tick tock, tick tock
She is next.
Footsteps fall
loud
in the (dead)silent house.
Tick tock, tick tock
He's coming for her, and she's
afraid.
The seconds tickticktick away-
fleeting, fleeting precious time.
Tick tock, tick tock
She holds her son close for what she
k-n-o-w-s
will be the last time.
"Be strong.
Be brave.
I love you."
Tick tock, tick tock
The door opens, and Lily makes her
final stand.
