Chapter 2 - Why Me
The very same night, Annabelle tries to sleep the day away. Her eyes slowly close and she quietly drifts away. An image pops into her head and forms a dream. It was the very same dream she had in class. Annabelle quickly opens her eyes and screams. Amy runs in with a metal baseball bat. "Anna are you okay? What happened?" Annabelle looks at Amy with fear in her eyes, "I keep having that dream.." Amy drops the baseball bat and walks up to Annabelle holding her close. "Shh its alright hun. Tonight I'll sleep with you to keep you company. I promise I will keep you safe." Annabelle shakes her head in agreement as they both lay next to each other and drift away. The next morning, Annabelle is trying not to think about her dreams so she tries to get through her day peacefully. Amy walks with Annabelle to class to make sure that she's gonna be okay. As the day passes by, Annabelle decides to get a job so that she wouldn't have to worry about sleeping. She gets a job at her University in a coffee shop. She is happier working than she was sleeping. After a week passed by, Amy walks into the shop, "Hey can I get a coffee to go?" "Yea sure let me just... Oh hey Amy." Amy smiles at Annabelle and replies, "So how's it going with the whole job?" "Honestly, I feel alot better" Annabelle said. "That's good to hear I'll see you at the dorm, movie later?" "Sounds good." Amy smiles and walks out the shop. As she walks out the shop, Annabelle starts cleaning the machines getting ready to close shop. Once she turns her head she hears something and stops for a moment. Annabelle tries not to focus her attention onto it and continues to clean. The noise got louder. "Who's there?" Annabelle asked. "If anyone is in here you need to leave.. the shop is closed." She turned her head and no one was there. Annabelle starts getting abit scared and all of a sudden she feels a warm touch on her shoulder but no one was around. Annabelle drops her dish towel as a whisper was mumbled, "Anna..belle." She takes a step back, "Who's there? What do you want from me?" She asks. Again a whisper mumbled, "I'm coming for you." Annabelle starts crying realizing who it was. "Why me..." She hesitates. "Because I love my Annabelle and I want her to get what she deserves." he replied. Annabelle cries out, "No..." He starts laughing and the whisper fades away. Annabelle slips slowly down to the floor crying into her knees mumbling, "why me... why not someone else..."
