Chapter 48: The Nightmare

Vino arose with a start. He rubbed furiously at his eyes to get rid of the sleep in his eyes while wondering what could have woken him.

A whimpering and the sound of someone struggling to breathe caused him to shrug out of the bed in seconds and rush to Skylar's side who was thrashing around and screaming.

Vino rushed and carried her in his arms while whispering to her“ It's okay, angel. You are safe with me” Vino told her, his heart was beating fast in his chest. He never believed her nightmares would come so soon. Doctor Clinton didn't warn him it would be this soon.

“ Please don't hit me. I'll do anything you want” Skylar screamed as she struggled to get away from the person who was hurting her.
