“Grace...Grace…” the eerie voice whispered.
“What do you want? Why am I here?”
I could feel the air turning colder as the voice grew angrier. It began to snow.
“Leave now, you are not wanted here. You are only a burden. I will not allow you to ruin everything we have worked so hard for!”
I was terrified and had no idea what was going on. There was no way to escape. I was trapped here.
My voice began to shake, “Please… no. I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want from me. Let me go please…”
I could feel the tears coming on. Crying was something I rarely ever did. Or at least, I tried to never cry. To me it was a sign of weakness, but at this moment I didn’t care. This situation had me horrified.
“Please, let me go. Help, help!” I tried shouting but the words barely came out in a whisper.
A warm voice suddenly called out to me. “Grace.”
Something was so familiar about the voice. It felt comforting. I needed this voice to keep talking. I needed to hear its words again.
“Grace. Wake up. Be strong. Wake up.”
I would be strong. For him. For me. For us.
