Jared was almost asleep when a loud scream pierced the night, breaking the silence. His heart pounded as he quickly sat up, recognizing the voice—it was Mia. Without wasting any time, he jumped out of bed and quickly rushed to the door.
The hallway was dark, with shadows dancing on the walls as he hurried to Mia's room.
"Mia!" Jared called, his voice shaky with worry. He pushed open her door and found her sitting up in bed, breathing heavily and soaked in sweat.
"Mia, what's wrong?" Jared asked, moving closer to her bed with concern in his voice.
Mia looked at him with wide, scared eyes. "I had a nightmare, Jared. A really bad one." She took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "You have to be careful."
Jared frowned, feeling more worried. "A nightmare? What did you see?"
Mia's voice
