Author's Note: Here is the second chapter. I'll try to update this at least once a week. I'm currently attending school at the University to get my Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design. We have four weeks left of Spring Semester, but I'm planning on taking classes during the Summer so I can finish with school earlier. I should be able to juggle this story with my school work though.
I forgot to do this in the first chapter, but I wanted to thank SaruwatariAsuka for leaving a review on You're Stronger Than This. I appreciated your kind words and I can assure you that I'm living a better life than what I was a few years ago.

Tina's POV
I was walking through a garden that was mostly occupied with white rose bushes. The moonlight made the roses look enchanting. Up ahead was a gazebo decorated with strings of white lights.
As I reached the steps of the gazebo, I noticed a young woman with long blonde hair wearing a white dress with her back towards me. I was almost afraid to disturb her, but I had to know what she was doing here.
"Um, excuse me?"
The young woman turned towards me, she looked a little disappointed, like I wasn't who she expected me to be.
"I didn't mean to disturb you." I gave her an apologetic look.
"That's okay. I'm just surprised is all. Who are you?"
"My name is Tina, short for Christina."
"I'm Sky, short for Skyler." She smiled.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her.
Sky's smile turned into a frown as she turned back around, her hand resting on the railing of the gazebo. "I'm waiting for someone."
"Who?"
"Someone I love."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry. Where am I anyway?"
"This place is our dream that we used to escape to. There are so many good memories here. It's no wonder that I'm stuck here."
"Stuck? What do you mean by that?"
"After I passed away I never really moved on. It's as if my soul was transported to this realm."
"How is that possible?"
"I'm still trying to figure that out myself."
There was silence between us for a moment when I heard a strange noise.
"What's that noise?" I asked.
Sky looked confused. "What noise?"
The dream began to fade along with Sky. I was waking up, or so I thought.
My eyes fluttered open and I heard the strange noise again. It sounded like somebody was throwing pebbles at the window.
"Rod." I shook him by the shoulder gently, he only snored.
I pushed the blankets off of me and grabbed my shirt from the floor. As I buttoned it up I walked towards the window. The pebbles continued to pelt the window as I stepped closer to see who was throwing them. Funny thing is I couldn't see anybody. I jumped back as a larger pebble was thrown, embedding itself into the glass of the window. I walked back up to the window and observed it.
Great, now Ma is going to be pissed!
"Tina." A voice whispered my name, startling me.
"Who do you think you are? Whoever you are." I muttered to myself.
Nancy's POV
I slowly woke up and rolled over onto my back rubbing away the sleep from my eyes. That's when I realized that the slanted wall above my head just moved backwards like someone had stretched it outwards a moment before. I had just woken up though, so I was probably just imagining things. I picked up the crucifix that laid beside me, it had fallen off of the wall earlier in the night. I sat up and placed it carefully back onto the nail, my hand lingering on it to make sure it was on there securely. I then knocked on the wall, a part of me questioning if what I just saw really had happened.
Don't be ridiculous Nancy! I thought to myself as I laid back down.
Tina's POV
I looked out the kitchen window and turned on the porch light, illuminating the backyard. I opened the screen door and looked out into the yard.
"Somebody there?"
"Tina." A raspy voice answered.
I ventured out further into the yard and looked towards the back gate.
"Tina." The voice repeated.
"Who the hell is that?" I asked.
Not getting an answer, I walked towards the back gate. I slowly opened the gate and walked out into the alleyway, looking around for whatever creep that was deciding to harass me. I quickly turned around at the sound of rolling metal. It was only the lid of a trash can. I was relieved for a moment, but then felt a familiar presence behind me. I gasped as I turned around to see the man from my nightmare the previous night.
"Tina." He chuckled.
"Shit." I whispered.
He continued to chuckle as his arms elongated past their normal length. The arm with the gloved hand screeched as he ran the blades along a metal dumpster.
"Please God!"
"THIS..." He raised up his glove. "is God."
I decided to make a run for it, frequently glancing behind me and screaming as I ran, but then I crashed into firm body. Somehow he had gotten ahead of me.
How in the hell?
I quickly turned and bolted towards the back gate of our yard. I screamed as I felt him right on my heels. I slammed the back gate shut after passing the threshold and continued to run towards the house.
"Tina!"
I turned around, shocked to see that he was somehow in our backyard.
"Watch this." He held up his ungloved hand and sliced off two of his fingers with one his blades, green liquid spewing from where the digits previously were.
I ran away in horror at the grisly sight. I made it to the back door, but found that it was locked. I banged on it, hopefully loud enough for someone to hear.
"Nancy! Open the door!" I shouted.
I felt two hands grab me by the arms. I struggled as much as I could, but we both got caught up on the steps and fell onto the patio table. The flimsy table couldn't support both of our weight and flipped us over onto the ground. I managed to grab his arm with the blades and held it away from me as I grabbed at his face with my other hand. The charred skin slid off of his face and I screamed in terror as he came at me with those horrendous razors.
Rod's POV
I was torn from sleep as I felt Tina thrashing underneath the covers. She must've been having another nightmare.
"Rod, help me!" She cried.
It looked like she was struggling to get free of something, so I jumped out of bed and ripped off the comforter. Her body continued to be thrown around on the bed, but no one was to be seen.
"Tina!" I yelled.
I only panicked more when I saw her shirt rip open and four slash marks appeared on her chest. Blood pooled and soaked the front of her shirt, which soon drenched the top of the mattress. Tina's body rose up into the air above the bed, violently rocking back and forth. I turned to switch on the light that was on the dresser, but her body all of a sudden swung at me, knocking me and the now broken light into the nearest wall and onto the floor. I heard her body get thrown into the corner of the room and as I sat up I saw her body being dragged up the wall towards the ceiling. Tina's arms and legs flailed about, coating everything they touched in her blood which was now covering her entire frontside. The only sounds that came out of her mouth was her labored breathing and cries of pain as she slid across the ceiling.
"Tina!" I reached out for her.
She turned her head at the sound of my voice and reached out to me. "Rod!"
We cried out to each other, but then Tina's body went limp and plunged down onto the blood soaked bed. The force of her fall made the blood on the mattress splash onto the walls and me. Her body had bounced off of the bed and onto the floor, her body was completely painted in gore. Tina was dead.
Thanks for reading guys! Don't forget to leave me a review ;)
