Silent, painful, suffocating darkness. Mmm...shhh. Close your eyes. And imagine muffled agony shooting throughout your body.

Silent, painful, suffocating darkness. Mmm...shhh. Close your eyes. And imagine the air is sucked out of your lungs.

Silent, painful, suffocating darkness. Mmm...shhh. Close your eyes. And imagine there is no time...silent stillness.

So dark, so gone. Where am I? My head hurts...why? Why is it so dark? Anton? Ohh...it hurts. I'm stuck, there's no way out.

Mom...

Silent, painful, suffocating darkness. Mmm...shhh. Close your eyes. And imagine shooting air strikes against your lungs.

Silent, painful, suffocating light. Mmm...shhh. Open your eyes. And look at a terror-stricken Antonio staring at your gasping form.

Anton's huge form laid down on me, suffocating me. I was on my back, on the cold snowy ground. The mansion...didn't Anton say it would detonate? I was relatively close to the mansion. How am I alive?

I began to recall what had happened.

Antonio's frightened eyes gazed at me before he ran to me. He tackled me to the hard ground and covered me with his immense body. That was why I blacked out, because of the hard impact. Me hitting my back, made me temporarily lose my breath and consciousness.

When Anton saw that I was alive, his fearful eyes washed away with relief as my teared up with alarm. Oh my God, my baby.

When Anton saw my alarm, he quickly got off of me.

"Leah, are you okay?" He questioned with concern as he took a hold of my face, caressing my cheeks with his thumbs. No. Nooo, what have I done? I began shaking my head. No, no, no, no.... I shook my head more violently.

"Olivia, talk to me." He griped my head again, forcing me to face him.

My baby...no, no, no. What have I done?

My hands began to shake as I pulled his hands away. My head kept shaking left and right, left and right. Antonio stared at me with concern written all over his face.

"No, no, no, no, no..." My mouth kept mumbling, my hands began shaking.

"Olivia?" Anton's voice invaded my darkness. In the mist, I felt huge hands trying to take a hold of me, but somehow, they didn't succeed.

"Leah, stop fighting me," a deep, agitated voice growled in my ear.

What? I'm not fighting you.

"No! Stop!" a voice that sounded like mine—but it couldn't have been—shouted. With a grunt, the hands took a painful hold around me and lifted me up. Suddenly I felt the hard snowy ground under my soaked shoes.
