For the next few days, it was quiet around Wayne's house. With Finn under the sleeping spell, he did not scream out in the middle of the night from flashbacks or moan and groan in pain from the lashes marks that were healing perfectly.
Amanda was a little upset. She kind of missed hearing Finn scream. It was listening to his voice nevertheless. It let her know that he was still alive.
Still, it was quite peaceful not to hear him screaming out in terror and pain.
She was glad he got to sleep soundly. After everything he's been through, he finally deserved it.
Every night before the keepers went to bed, she would always give him a long kiss goodnight on his lips that were no longer dry and bloodstained.
"Sleep tight Finn," she would say.
She would fall asleep, full of assurance that everything would be okay.
But on this night, the last night of the week before Finn was due to wake up, was different.
This night, there was screaming.
Finn was fast asleep on the coffee table made into a bed. He slept soundly as he dreamed a magnificent dream.
Finn sat with Amanda at the edge of a river. The sun was shining bright, and the flowers were blooming.
Finn and Amanda were having a picnic. They were happy to be with each other.
After eating, they began to make out on the grass. Finn felt Amanda warm, soft lips against his. He enjoyed it.
Then, Finn picked up Amanda, and jumped right into the river holding her.
They laughed so hard that their guts almost flew out of their stomachs.
They smiled at each other and then leaned in for another kiss.
Suddenly, from out of the middle of the river, a whirlpool began to form.
Finn and Amanda saw it and tried swim away, but then a black tornado shot out of the whirlpool.
Amanda couldn't hold on to Finn, and was sucked right into the tornado.
"NOOOOOO!" Finn yelled.
He ran over but then suddenly found himself floating in darkness.
He couldn't see anything as the darkness was blinding him.
Then he began to hear a soft chuckle, which turned into a loud laugh.
Finn turned around and saw a man in the shadows.
"Hello Finn," the man said. "Remember me?"
Finn's eyes popped open. He knew that the man in the shadows, was the Shadowman! It was Dr. Facilier.
"No!" Finn said. "This is my dream!"
"Not anymore," Dr. Facilier said. "Now it's your nightmare."
"You haven't had a nightmare or flashback for days!" yelled a new voice.
Finn turned around and found himself face to face with the Horned King.
"Now it's time for you to have one again!" the demon yelled.
Finn was frozen with fear.
Dr. Facilier then pulled out a doll and stabbed it with a three-inch long knife.
Finn cried out in pain as he felt himself being stabbed by a knife. Blood dripped down his stomach.
The Horned King then raised his hands, and ghostly spirits rose around him and flew towards Finn.
They began to suck bits of Finn's soul out. Finn cried out as his life was slowly drained from him.
"You will never be freed from this terror!" the two Overtakers yelled. "You will always suffer! You will always scream! You will always bleed and cry and break! And then eventually, you will die.
Finn couldn't take the pain any longer. He let out an earsplitting scream that he held back for a while, which made the Overtakers laugh with joy.
Amanda woke up to an earsplitting scream. The other keepers woke up soon after.
"Finn!" Amanda yelled.
The keepers jumped out of bed and ran down the stairs.
Sure enough, when they reached the living room, Finn was screaming.
But there were two other people with him in the room.
Amanda switched on the lights and saw Dr. Facilier stabbing a voodoo doll that looked like Finn and the Horned King shooting dark aura into Finn's head from his hands.
They looked up when the lights turned on and stared at the keepers.
"Why hello there!" Dr. Facilier said smirking.
Amanda was fuming.
"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY FINN!" she screamed and unleashed a powerful push that knocked Dr. Facilier and the Horned King into the wall.
She ran up and then grabbed Dr. Facilier by the throat.
She glared at Dr. Facilier as he began to gag.
"I swore that the next Overtaker I saw I would kill!" she yelled. "So you are going to die first!"
"Not…yet…little fairy," Dr. Facilier choked.
He began to laugh as he waved his hand, and both he and the Horned King disappeared into purple smoke.
Amanda found herself gripping nothing. She banged her fist on the ground in anger.
She then heard Finn groan.
"Finn!" she yelled and ran up to him.
Finn was in horrible shape. He was finally awake, but his chest was dripping with blood and he looked like he saw a ghost.
"My Finn," Amanda cried. "My baby."
She cried on top of Finn's chest. Finn caressed her hair.
"Your back is better?" Maybeck asked.
Finn sat up. His back was still scarred, but the lashes were sewn up and healed.
"Now it is," he said in a tired voice.
Everyone sighed in relief.
Jess yawned.
"Now that they're gone, can we go back to bed?" she asked.
Everyone yawned and nodded.
As Amanda got up to follow, Finn grabbed her arm.
"Don't leave me," he said. "Please sleep with me."
Amanda looked at his sad eyes. How could she refuse those puppy dog eyes?
Since Finn's back was finally lash free, Amanda was able to move him onto the couch.
She lied down behind Finn and wrapped her arm around him. He curled up and pressed his back against her.
Charlene and Willa laid a blanket out over them and then actually kissed Finn on the head goodnight.
Philby turned off the lights as the others walked upstairs.
Amanda rubbed Finn's head gently as he lied against her. He fell asleep soon after.
"I'm here Finn," Amanda whispered. "No one will hurt you as long as I am here!"
She kissed the back of Finn's head, and then fell asleep.
Lots of Famanda! Who doesn't love Famanda? Well, unfortunately my friends Cali and Vega hate Famanda. But hey, what are you going to do?
Anyway, Finn's back is now better and there will be less screaming at night, but still more flashbacks to go!
See you next update!
