She starts to wonder if she’s hallucinating, losing her mind completely...or if something far worse might be happening. ~Excerpt~ A scream erupted from her throat, dragging her forcefully from the nightmare that held her captive. Heart pounding, chest heaving, she rolled over and reached to pull the pillow over her head.

She froze, too afraid to move, and opened her eyes just enough to study her surroundings.
