Chapter 11

Cadence left the scene, because she was waking up.

"Hey, Cadence. The pizza arrived. Are you ready to eat?"

"Yeah, ready." She told Paige.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just a weird but scary dream. Glad it was just a dream. What kind of pizza did we get?"

"Pepperoni, cheese and banana peppers. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, thanks." She pauses. "Let me wash up."

"Hey, if you need Pamperin or anything, let me know. And – I'll wash your jeans for you."

"What?" She looked down at her jeans. There was dried blood on the knees. "Oh, no. I'm good. Just... must not have noticed."

"When you're ready, come down for dinner."

"Yeah, thanks." Cadence cleaned the knees with soapy water and saw her hands had dried blood too.

I just took a nap. She thought. What really happened?
