Despite going to sleep with no nightmares, Lina woke up to her worst dream. She was shaken awake by a loud BANG!
Lina was startled. She shot out of bed at the sound of the gunshots. Her eyes widened when her Uncle stormed towards her like a mad man with murder in his mind. She screamed in fear.
"What are you doing?!" Lina shouted, chucking her heavy pillows at him. They landed on the ground with a soft thud. Her heart was racing one thousand miles per hour.
Suddenly, her Uncle grabbed her by the shoulders and violently shook her. She was pretty sure her brain cells got jumbled in the process. Her hair went everywhere and she was a rag doll in his rough puppeteer fingers.
Without warning, Lina swung her hand to stop him.
PAK!
With a terrifying realization, Lina had smacked him. Hard. His head flew to the side, a red mark burning into the smooth skin. She stopped breathing at that exact moment.
