The Nightmare That Was A Reality

Summer's eye's flashed open and she took in her surroundings.

Her head pounded and she was sprawled on the floor, her arms and legs at strange angles. The room in which she was in was a mess, she then realised it was her own living room.

As she touched her forehead tenderly, she realised that she was bleeding. The couch was on its side and the paintings on the walls had gone. She froze as the menacing figure of Bailey appeared in the doorway.

She shook in fear as he walked over to her. He knelt down beside her and grabbed a handful of her hair.

He ragged it upwards and Summer screamed in agony. His eyes flashed malevolently and Summer quaked in fear as he got up, pulling out a length of tape and rope.

"No, no please no!" she screamed as Bailey proceeded in wrapping the tape over her mouth…

Summer sat bolt upright in bed.

Her limbs shook and cold sweats ran down her forehead. Seth was staring at her, a scared look on his face.

She looked over at him, her breathing still shallow.

"Summer, are you okay? What happened?" Seth asked, the worry in his voice clear. Summer struggled to find her voice.

Should she tell him about the phone call? He already looked worried so was it worth him being more worried? I t might not happen again so it'd be worry for nothing…

"I, I just had… I had a nightmare I guess…" Summer croaked. Seth put his arm around her shoulders comfortingly. She smiled over at him.

"Well, is there anything I can do? Do you want a drink or something?" He asked.

"No, no I'm fine. I'll go get one myself, I'll check on Autumn as well. Thanks though Seth." She kissed him on the cheek quickly and grabbed her robe from the armchair.

She tied it and left the room quickly.

Seth shook his head. He knew what she'd had a nightmare about. She was tossing violently, her hands shielding her face and that name kept coming out of her mouth. 'Bailey,' she said, 'no Bailey please…' It'd happened so many times before that Seth knew what it was.

It made him angry as hell when she had nightmares about this. Even though he'd been put away, she was still being tortured.

It was weird though, she hadn't had a nightmare about him for months.

What had brought it back suddenly? Was she keeping something from him? Seth shook himself.

He shouldn't be thinking like this. After everything they'd been through why would Summer keep secrets?

She wouldn't ever keep something of that magnitude from him ever again.

He laid down, pulling the duvet close.

Well at least he hoped that this was true…

Summer looked at her reflection in the mirror, she ran her fingers through her hair and glanced at the scar on her forehead.

It was fading even more and when she had makeup on, it was invincible. But it was still there, and even if it was gone, her mind would still be scarred.

She couldn't believe that this was happening again, especially as they were starting to rebuild their lives. The daylight began to stream in through the window as the sun rose. It was seven AM and she had planned to go last minute Christmukkah shopping with

Marissa today. Summer had been up since 2am because of her nightmare, she didn't even attempt to go back to sleep, she knew that it wouldn't work. She got up and walked up to the nursery to get Autumn up for her first feed.

As Summer cradled her in her arms, the phone started to ring. Summer's body froze, the sound of the rings slicing through her flesh. She couldn't get Seth, if her found out about it he'd go on a mad rampage.

She put Autumn back in the crib and walked towards the phone. She gingerly picked up the receiver and held it to her ear.

"Hello?" she said.

"Summer?" It was the same husky voice. Her body froze again and her heart stopped.

"Who is this? Stop calling me!" she said, trying not to let Seth overhear.

"Paranoid are we Sum? Oh dear and its only been one night, man I'm good. Now listen you little bitch, its time you realised the pain of loosing a family member, oh wait you already did! So if you don't want to go through that again I suggest you meet some demands of mine… You can expect a special delivery soon…" the voice cackled.

"What? No way! Leave me and my family alone, I've done nothing!" She slammed down the receiver and closed her eyes, breathing deeply.

She should tell Seth, if her family was in danger…

Not now though, not after the nightmare episode this morning. What was she going to do?

As she started to walk up the stairs, she saw the mailman stop outside their house through the window.

She pulled her robe tighter and walked outside.

"Morning Ma'am," the man said, smiling. Summer nodded and smiled.

"Are you okay, ma'am, you look like you've seen a ghost," he added.

"Well you could say that, have a nice day." She walked back inside and flicked through the mail.

Nothing except bills. Her eyes widened as a small envelope sat at the bottom of the pile.

It was handwritten and Summer's heart pounded as she tore it open.

She stared in disbelief at the letter and she folded it up carefully, despite the violent shaking of her hands.

Her voice had gone and her legs felt like jelly. This couldn't be happening, not again!

As Autumn began to cry, Summer ran into the kitchen and hid it under the old food processor on the top of the cupboards, she dispose of it carefully later…

Summer had left the house a couple of hours ago with Marissa and Autumn, leaving Seth alone for a day.

He planned on cooking a big, romantic dinner for her when she got back as his parents had agreed to take Autumn for a night.

He'd spent the morning surfing the web for a recipe and when he'd found one, Seth set about trying to cook.

Unfortunately, he'd acquired his mother's cooking skills, or lack there of so it was going to be a challenge.

This three course meal that he had planned included a fancy soup that he had to make from scratch. It was turning out quite well but when he got the food processor, it didn't work.

"Great! I knew something would have to go wrong…" he said angrily.

Then he realised that the old one still kind of worked. He looked up at the box on top of the cupboards and reached up for it.

As he pulled it down, a piece of paper drifted from underneath it. It was an envelope addressed to Summer but it had been opened.

Should he read it?

"No, this is Summer's letter. I can't," he told himself.

He placed it down on the counter but his gaze was just drawn back to it.

"Okay, but I'll just put it back afterwards…" he said, reaching for the letter. As he took it out, scanning the text quickly his heart began to pound.

Seth slowly placed the letter down on the counter, anger surging through his body.

He reached for the processor and flung it against the wall, crying out in anger. It smashed into a million pieces and Seth sank onto the floor, breathing heavily.

Why would she do this?

Why?
