Chapter 300: A Night Without You (Part 2)

Lillie shot up from her bed with a gasp followed by heavy breathing. Wide eyes frantically wanders around the room aimlessly, pupils shaking as they did.

She placed a hand over to her chest and gripped tightly onto her shirt, heavy breathing and heartbeats rang through her ears conspicuously loud.

Her heart pounds like war drums; a stethoscope wouldn't be necessary to hear it.

Intaking deep breaths, she gradually coax herself to calm down. She told herself that everything was alright, she's in a safe place, no one can hurt her...not anymore.

Lillie pulled her legs close until they touched her chest, her arms wrapping around them with her forehead settled on her knees.

Her breath shudders as she inhaled and exhaled through her mouth.

She thought the nightmares are over, she thought it wouldn't affect her anymore

"Stop trembling," She commands herself with her shaky voice, but her body didn't listened as it continued to quiver. "You have nothing to fear...they're dead."
