Episode 2
I awoke screaming. I had the nightmare again, I was in the woods, the place I used to go with my grandpa. But I was alone, and scared. I kept screaming and no one came. I was lost. Always lost.
I looked around my surroundings and saw a figure, he looked oddly familiar, but I couldn’t place it. He had a solemn look on his face, he was playing with his hands. He was sad. He looked so familiar, strong build, handsome face, in his thirties. Wedding ring on his finger. By the looks of it, he had it all I’m assuming some little kids running around at home waiting for their father to come bursting through the door. But why was he here then? and not with them? That’s when it clicked, he was the fireman, the one that saved Abi. “tell me” he looked at me tears brimming in his eyes “I need to know” I had to hear him say it, otherwise I wouldn’t believe it. He let a tear slide “we tried all we could, it was too late” I nodded, to lost to know what to do, I didn’t cry, I didn’t scream. I just sat there staring at the wall. “Jennifer?” hearing my name being called by another voice that wasn’t the firemans dragged me back to reality. He was a short man, with a good looking face and a toned body. He looked about 30ish. A business man no doubt. When I didn’t answer he carried on “my name is Dave Fisher, me and your father went to school together. In his-“ he breaks off and tries to regain himself “in his will he has asked that you and Abigail come to live with me”
I look at him confused, I didn’t know this man, why would my father want me to live with him. He was a stranger. But if it was my fathers final wish I have to follow through. I nodded slightly and he gave me a sympathetic smile. “gather your things then Jennifer, I will get Abigail.” He walks over to Abigail and gently, without waking her, takes her out of the crib. I look back at the fireman standing awkwardly in the corner and I walk over to him. “thankyou, for trying. It means a lot” he smiles and hugs me “are you going to be okay?” I nod “I’ll get there”
