Life After the Storm

I get woken up when hearing the door open. I then become scared that Ivan is getting ready to hurt me more. Knowing that I am so weak that I have no fight left in me, It's almost like he wants me to die a slow, agonizing death. Just to come back into a world for him to do it repeatedly.

As I tremble in fear, hearing the footsteps coming closer and closer. I close my eyes, not wanting to see what is about to happen to me. Then I feel the loosing of the belt on my leg as my leg relaxes on the bed. Then the same thing with the other leg. I want to close my legs, but I am so weak from all that has happened. Something tells me I don't need to be scared, that I can relax. But I can't help but to be terrified.

Then I feel too little hands touch my arm. Immediately my fear just disappears, and I get an overwhelming feeling of pure love. I don't understand this feeling, it's nothing I have ever felt before, and I know who exactly it is saving me, it's Jayden. 

When I open my eyes to see his forest green eyes that are now gold and glowing. He is healing me, he is using his power to save me. I can feel my strength come back almost automatically, it's insane. I can't believe that he is healing me. I feel more powerful than I have ever felt in my entire life.

The bed begins to dip, that's when I hear a sweet voice, “Lilly it's time for you to go.”

“Jayden, I'm not leaving you, Ivan will hurt you.”

“Lilly, you need to go, he won't stop hurting you.”

“I would rather him hurt me than ever hurt you.”
