It was after 3 am when Liz Evans bolted up in her bed, soaked with sweat,
trying to catch her breath. Something wasn't right - she could feel it.
There was some kind of imbalance or something - she couldn't explain it.
Liz got out of bed, careful not to wake Max who lay beside her, snoring
softly.
She crept into the kitchen of their penthouse apartment and almost jumped out of her skin when she saw Josh standing in front of the refrigerator, staring at her. Immediately Liz was on alert because Josh wasn't supposed to be there until the weekend.
* I must be dreaming*
"Are you ready?" Josh spoke suddenly causing Liz to let out a small squeak. His voice sent a shiver down her spine.
"Uh.ready for what?" Liz choked. Josh was almost unrecognisable - all of a sudden she felt terrified of the boy standing before her, the boy that she had come to love as her own. Something wasn't right about this dream, it felt too real.
"You should be prepared. When it comes, the pain won't end.you can't escape it." Josh continued to stare blankly at Liz but tears fell from his eyes.
"Escape what? What's coming?" Liz could feel the panic begin to rise inside her.
"He wants what's his." Suddenly, Joshua's face contorted to a look of pure rage, his voice became much deeper. "you can't stop me you whore! This time I won't fail bitch! You won't even see it coming!" Josh laughed, a deep evil laugh.
"Who are you?" Liz screamed, "Stay away from us!"
Out of nowhere, strong arms grabbed Liz from behind, wrapping them around her waist. She heard Max's voice assuring her that everything was OK, it was just a dream. Liz turned around and looked into the worried eyes of her husband. She had never felt so scared in her life.
At that exact moment, in another house across town, Joshua Evans woke from his nightmare with a scream so fierce that it shook Tess to the very core.
