Jess's POV:
The snow still hadn't stopped by eight the next morning. Not that I was really paying attention to it. No, I was still thinking about that damn dream. The one that had been so bad, it had woken Rob up...Well, technically, I had woken him up, but it was because of the dream. Although, if waking him up in the middle of the night will reward me with him all over me, then maybe I'll do it more often...
But I digress.
So, I was sitting on the edge of the bed, fully dressed, still focusing on that dream. It was due to happen soon, which was way weird because I never get dreams about what's going to happen. It's always where someone is at that current time. But no one really understands this psychic thing, so maybe my powers are expanding. Who knows? All I really know is that it was one freaky-ass dream.
And I couldn't tell my boyfriend about it.
See, it involved a very unsavory- at least, in Rob's eyes- character. And this guy showing up to the church in a few hours' time.
Oh, and a power outage. And someone being taken...Maybe that's why I'd gotten this dream of the future. Because someone was about to be kidnapped? Hmmm....maybe...I closed my eyes and was immediately transported back to the confines of my dream. We were all standing in the church, Randy and his new bride had just completed their vows, and everyone was cheering. Mrs. Wilkins was crying a bit, as were most of the woman present, when suddenly a voice came over the loud speakers. (Who knew the church had such a kick-ass sound system?)
"I'm coming for you..."
I screamed. It was a deep voice, one that I knew without knowing belonged Rob's dad...But it couldn't be him. He was supposed to be in prison, for ten to twenty years....But then the voice continued.
"I've got you all where I want you..." When suddenly the lights went out, and I felt big meaty hands on my shoulders. I yelled and flailed my arms, desparately trying to escape...
Which was when Rob had woken me up.
So it looked like I was the one who would be kidnapped.
Yeah, that is so not happening.
Rob's POV:
I opened the door of the bathroom and walked out to find Jess sitting on our bed looking like she was going to pass out. She was pale as hell, and shaking like mad. I carefully sat down next to her and wrapped Jess up in my arms. She laid her head down on my chest, and I thought for a minute, she would start crying, but she composed herself. Picking up her head, she looked at me with her big brown eyes and said, "Be careful today."
Now, is that cryptic or what? "Uh, ok...Mastriani, why exactly should I be careful?" I said warily.
She had a dream about something, I could see it. She just wouldn't tell me. "Just be careful." Jess whispered. She was scared as hell. I've never, NEVER, seen Jess scared. Not like that. I mean, yes, she was scared when we had to rescue that cheerleader from that house in the woods. And she was freaked out with the Militia group. But those were a different kind of scared, the kind she could stop or prevent or something. This one...I got the feeling that she didn't think she could prevent it, or stop it, or anything.
I don't know how long it was before we got up and walked to the church. The snow had stopped finally, and uncle Randy and the best man's family had arrived. We had the ceremony around noon, and I stood by Jess, one arm secure around her waist. What? I wanted to let her know I was here, if something made her wig out.
She started to tense up as the vows were completed, and then completely freaked when the power went out. I heard a voice that I hadn't heard since I was really little.
"I'm coming for you..."
Dad? What the fuck- pardon my French- was he doing here?
I heard footsteps behind me, and I tightened my hold on Jess. "I've got you right where I want you..." and suddenly, I felt Jess being yanked away from my arms. She screamed, and I tried to follow the direction of where Jess had gone. I thought for a minute I had grabbed the material of her dress, but then she was gone.
Just like that. Gone.
The power cut back on, and I looked around. Everyone was accounted for...
Except Jess.
