Chapter 327

I’m dreaming, on some level I know that.

But it doesn’t stop my body shaking with fear.

I’m running through the dark halls of the mansion.

Except it doesn’t look like home, it’s all sinister and wrong.

And I know when he catches me, he’ll show no mercy.

He’s supposed to be my happy ending.
