*Cynthia's POV*
My head hurt like hell. I felt like someone had gotten a car and sat it on my stomach. I wasn't sick... no... i was having a panic attack. I tried to slow my breathing, but it didn't help. It was 5:45 a.m and i felt alone. I needed Mom.
"M-Mom!" I shouted uneasily. "Mom! H-help!"
She quickly ran up the stairs and flicked on my light. She saw what was happening and wrapped her arms around me. She made soothing noises and stroked my hair. I hated panic attacks...
"What's wrong?" She asked softly.
"H-he kills people mom. He kills them amd h-he has to kill more now, because-"
"It's just a bad dream. Ok?"
"O-ok.."
She went to get up and leave, but i grabbed her hand.
"C-could you... stay up here? Until i fall asleep?"
She nodded and pulled the covers over me. She layed down beside me and turned off the light. Soon after that, i fell asleep. I had a dreamless sleep.

"Cynthia." Said a strange voice. "Wake up. We need to leave."
"Where are we going?" I asked groggily.
"The hospital." They said quickly. "You don't look too well. You're pale actually. I'm worried..."
"W-what?!" I quickly sat up and saw that the strange voice was coming from Mom. She had already grabbed the car keys and her purse.
"I look fine." I said tiredly, and looked at my mirror. I almost screamed from what i saw. A pale monster, with dark circles under it's eyes. It's hair was a mess. Is this what i am now?... From just one panic attack? Oops... i said that outloud.
"Cynthia, i think you had a panic attack when you asleep. Not a normal one either. One if your bad ones... and this is what you wake up to. Now, we're leaving."
"No! I have to stay here incase Ben-" i stopped myself from finishing the sentence. Fuck... she knew i was insane.
"We're leaving." She said quietly. I didn't argue. I quickly got dressed and wore a hoodie over the mess that is my face. We drove silently to the hospital. When we got out, i had made it to the front door, when i stopped dead in my tracks. Mom continued on, but she stopped after she realized i wasn't beside her. The last thing i remember is her screaming as i blacked out.
