Nightmare: A Family of Killers

Date: 4/19/2020

My name was Lyla. I had fallen for a young man named Bobby Hartman. He was charming and very sweet to me. Yet there was always something off about him.  Then one day he brought me to meet the family. I learned quickly what it was that was wrong. They were grooming him to become a killer. They were a family of killers and I was supposed to be his first kill. Yet I had some kind of sway on him. It was there in his eyes and the way he struggled around me. Unlike his family… Bobby had a heart. He and I had kissed. We had held hands and had long heartfelt discussions. I had run from most of them but was forced to stop in my tracks when Bobby's father brought out a gun. He shoved it in Bobby's mouth while whispering some threats, gave it to Bobby, and told him to kill me. I panicked when it looked as though he were gonna kill Bobby but it was even harder when Bobby had the gun trained on me. I fought and got it from him. I shot it and it grazed his father's ear. But I kept the gun in hand as I got up to run, pleading for Bobby to come with me. I raced out the door gun in hand, hoping only Bobby followed behind me. Praying I didn't just get him killed. Then I awoke.
