20 Chapter 19

The clock on the wall ticks as I watch the minutes go by. I was afraid of going to sleep by the nightmares I keep having about Everest.

The dark wasn't making it any better since I'm getting paranoid by perceiving him standing in a corner of my room, staring at me.

Axel asks me if I wanted to sleep with him in his room but I denied his offer since he already has done so much for me.

He risks his life for me, and I'm sure that If Everest ever finds us he will end his life then mines.

A loud noise from downstairs cuts me off from my thoughts. It's most likely Axel up again doing whatever he does at this time of the night.

The noise has gotten louder, and the next thing I heard was screaming that sounded like he was in trouble.

Getting up from my bed, I try finding something to defend myself with. My eyes captured sight of a vase that looked deadly from the rock material on top of a bookshelf.
