I don't know where I am and I feel warm now. A man. Shirt off, breathing heavily. He puts me on a piece of furniture. A bed. I scream when he lays beside me. I'm being attacked. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "It's okay Cassie, you're safe, everything is going to be alright." A familiar voice says in the dark. Evan. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "How did I get there, in the woods? Was I sleepwalking, dreaming?" I ask him. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "Maybe, babe, can we figure this out tomorrow morning you must be tired and I know I am. I'll hold you so you know you're safe. You'll always be safe in my arms." He says. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "Okay." And I drift off to sleep. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /••••••••••••••••••br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /The smell of coffee wakes me up right away. I walk into the kitchen and there is Evan and my mother and father sitting eating breakfast. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "There's my girl, good morning," Dad says to me as I walk up to Evan and hug him tight. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "What's wrong?" br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "I had a terrible dream last night, I was in the woods and ended up in our room not knowing where I was." br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "Cassie, that wasn't a dream." br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "That was real," I said scared. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "Yeah," Evan says. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /I start to breathe more than usual. Hyperventilating. What is going on! I run out of the hotel and into the woods. I hear someone following me. It's not Evan. Ringer. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "So I hear that you are going mad. Your mother says that you don't feel well." br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "It's not that. I just don't know what's wrong with me. One minute I'm calm and the next; crazy." I say. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "I always knew you were crazy but now I'm kind of worried." She says. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "Why are you worried about me? You hate me." br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "I never said I hated you, I just, over all things in this world, I don't understand you. When you killed that female alien sucker, you earned my friendship. I see the way that Ben cares about you and I respect that but I still don't get why everything must stop in the world when something bad happens to you. That everyone, including me, needs to protect you and your pretty face alien mother fucker of a fiancé." I laugh. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "So all I had to do was kill someone to earn your friendship," I add. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "Pretty much." She paused for a moment or two until she asks, "so Cassie what's really going on?" br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "I don't really know. All I remember is thinking that I dreamt about lying in the woods late at night and then waking up and Evan saying it wasn't really a dream." br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "Alright, if it happens again get Evan and me and we will talk you through it. It's happened to me too. I know what to do.

I say. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "You are most welcome, now do you think you can make it back?" br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "Yeah." br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "Okay, I will help you through this." br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /We walk in and my parents ask me if I'm alright.

He says and then walks away from me.

I get up and walk to where Evan went to. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "So you are really going to walk away right now. Can't you see that I'm in pain and I'm confused? Evan, you're my fiancé, you should be telling me that you are going to find out who's messing with my kind whether it's Vosch or someone else you are supposed to be on this with me. Instead, you're not doing a damn thing." I yell. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "Cassie don't do that, you know and I know that everything around here for the past seven months have been pretty hard on all of us not just you and I.

I knew it. You know what, SCREW YOU, SCREW THIS. I'm done. I'm so done with what this is." I say. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /I walk away and he grabs me and pulls me back to him.

I take the engagement ring off of my finger and throw it at him. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "You don't have me anymore." I pack water, food, clothing and my journal and stuff it all into a bag and leave.
