I feel shivers go up and down my spine, as I slowly peel my eyes open. I look around at my surroundings.

I'm in a basement which is strange but so familiar at the same time.

What...How did I get here?

I try to move forward, when I realize that I'm chained. I pull hard but that just makes my wrists burn.

I feel tears start to appear in my eyes, but I force them back. I will not panic or cry.

"I finally got you back. And this time you will never leave this place ever again," I hear a deep familiar voice say.

I look up and see a shadowed figure, it moves towards me and that's when I feel a scream rise up my throat.

"Sir William," I whisper.

Sir William grins a menacing smile. "I will keep you chained up as long as I live, and I will never think to stop the tortures."

He moves towards me with a knife in his hand. He places it on my left cheek and his warm breath tickles my ear.

He whispers, "Welcome back to hell."

I bolt upright in bed, feeling a scream escaping my lips. I look around frantically. I'm back in my room in the packs house.

It's was just a dream.

I touch my face and its drenched with sweat. I look down and see the covers are twisted and crumbled beneath me.

I look to my right and see Ethan sleeping soundlessly beside me.

I slowly get up and pad towards the bathroom. I close the door and sigh. I walk over to the mirror and stare at myself in disgust. I look terrible, my hair is knotted and puffy. My whole body is swimming in sweat, and my clothes are crumpled.

I pull my clothes off and throw myself in the shower. I feel the water pelt my skin as I wash off all the sweat. Once I'm fully satisfied, I grab a towel and get dressed. I throw my hair in a bun and come out the bathroom.

I see Ethan sitting on the bed, rubbing his eyes from exhaustion. "Did you have a bad dream?"

I stare blankly at Ethan. "No."

"Then why did I hear you scream? I heard it while I was sleeping, it was in my dream," Ethan says.

"It was just in your dream, I didn't scream."

Ethan believes me for a second, but then he glances at my face.

"I can tell you're lying."

I sigh. "Fine! I had a bad dream. I guess it's because we are going to see Sir William again and I'm just....afraid," I whisper.

Ethan gets up and puts his hand on my cheek. "It's okay to be afraid. But don't worry, I'll be there with you and I will not let my father hurt you."

I smile at that and look up at his beautiful eyes. He smirks and leans down to kiss me.

~~~

I can't take it anymore. The anticipation, the nervousness. I hate it!

Today is the day we go talk to the fairies. And let's just say I'm not looking forward to it.
