Pt. 4 Victim
The nightmares haunted her for the duration of her time at the hospital. Every night, the same gruesome nightmare, the same tiresome jerk awake, and the same cold sweat dripping down her body. No one yet had asked her why she had taken an overdose but she had assumed that they didn't want to upset her. She didn't mind them not asking though, and had set the thought aside.
"Emma, Honey, It's time to get up." Spike gently shook her as she rubbed her eyes unwillingly waking. Emma was surprised to find herself in her own bed and it felt good. "Surprise!" Spike was relieved to see Emma's strong smile for the first time since she woke up in the hospital. She was almost completely better and her family's broken hearts were mended. "Well, it's Monday, time for school."
Emma was actually relieved to get back to school but also terrified at the fact that He was roaming the halls. "Don't worry." She whispered to herself. "He can't do anything to you here. You'll be fine." Over and over, she said that until she arrived at the steps of Degrassi and there He was, as if He were waiting for her. Waiting for his prey.
