CRACK!
There was a flash of bright white light, then spider-web cracks spread through the world like reality was fracturing.
The dream shattered and they woke up.
Leon opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was the wooden frame supporting the top bunk bed.
For a moment, he was confused. 'Did I just have a dream?' And then, everything came flooding back in like an avalanche.
Leon's eyes widened in horror. 'Talia was attacked!'
His body shuddered uncontrollably in fear and horror as the details remained vivid in his head; he couldn't distinguish reality from illusion.
The terror of having his body frozen against his will, wanting to move but your body not responding- a terror akin to sleep paralysis. The fear clung to him like a second skin, making his whole body feel cold.
He shivered. 'What the hell?'
