Kaori felt like she was isolated from everyone, she tried calling her friend's names but no one answered. She became a little scared. She stumbled backwards and she felt herself fall into a body she turned around and screamed when she saw Hayden's body touching her and the knife was held in his hands.

Blood dripped from his mouth and the knife shined an evil glare. Kaori tossed and turned in her sleep.

She screamed and struggled but her movements were useless. She was pinned to a wooden board.

'I'm not afraid of you Hayden," her voice echoed.

"Then why are you screaming?" he asked.

The knife was held up to her face, Kaori tried her best not to let her fear control her. But her face betrayed her all too easily.

"Don't touch me." She threatened.

"Or what? I'm the one with the knife here, you can't do anything. Aww, you poor defenseless pigeon, locked up in your cage and there's no one here to watch you die." Hayden said before he jabbed the knife into her head.

Kaori screamed as she awoke, she was panting so hard.

"Haven't had that dream in awhile now," she whispered.

She had thought that she had been purged of those horrible nightmares. She hadn't had them in weeks, until now. But why?

It didn't make any sense. She felt something move beside her and she quickly turned around to see Mac curled up beside her. Seeing him made her calm down a lot.

She curled down beside him.

"You will protect me won't you Mac? I know you will. I love you so much." She whispered as she laid down beside him.

Mac just grunted as he quietly snored.

Kaori smiled but the memory of the nightmare still threatened to fill her dreams with blood and fears.

She found it impossible to sleep again for that whole night.

Around 5 in the morning, she had gone out to the kitchen area to make some coffee, because she couldn't sleep she figured she might as well enjoy the view of the sunrise over the snow.

She had gotten dressed and was drinking coffee when she heard footsteps, feeling as though she was defenseless she grabbed a knife out of the kitchen draw, just in case.

The footsteps became louder and louder but she didn't see anyone there.

"Hello?" she asked to see if anyone would answer.

She heard the footsteps again and she became scared.

If it were any of her friends, they would have replied. Who was there?

"Hello?" she asked one more time.

She started pacing around the room becoming more frightened with each step she placed on the cold hard floor.

Suddenly she heard the footsteps behind her, she turned around and she let out a piercing scream as she saw Hayden standing beside her.

"No, What the hell are you doing here?" she hissed.

"I came here for you, aren't you happy to see me?" he asked rather childishly.

"Get out of here, I never want to see your face EVER again!" she hissed more loudly.

"Hahahah, your so naïve, my little angel." Hayden laughed as he took a step closer to her.

"Get the hell away from me you creep!" Kaori said.

But Hayden didn't listen, she was too easy.

Just as he was about arms reach; Kaori surprised him by a knife in her hand. He was taken back but wasn't threatened.

"Whoa, I think you better put that down before someone gets hurt," Hayden calmly said.

"The only person who's going to get hurt will be you!" she threatened.

"Kaori, you don't scare me, your threats are wasted. You can bet your life that if you don't put down that knife you will have to face consequences." He said.

"What consequences?" she hissed.

"Oh dear, didn't they teach you anything in these schools? I don't think they did," Hayden said as he took one more step forward, Kaori instantly drawed the knife but he had gripped it in his own hand. Now he had the knife and she felt so defenseless and scared.

"GET AWAY FROM ME! DON'T TOUCH ME!" She yelled. Hayden pushed her onto the kitchen table, a wooden table and she was pinned on it buy Hayden's body.

But soon her yells were covered by Hayden's large hand. Her scream became a whisper as his other hand gripped her neck; he was squeezing the life out of her.

"Help." was the only word she managed to get out. She found she couldn't breathe, she could feel the life draining away as he squeezed harder.

Suddenly a massive arm flung around Hayden's neck and pulled him off of Kaori, she coughed as she sat up from the table.

"Touch her again, and I swear Hayden I'll rip the life out of you with one hand!"Psymon threatened by holding Hayden up against the kitchen wall.

" You haven't changed Psymon, still scaring the living fuck out people!" Hayden hissed.

"I've already scared the fuck out of you haven't I you fucking bastard!" Psymon said quietly but furiously in Hayden's ear.

"I swear Psymon, I still see you tearing me apart, back then you'd give me hell, well, now its my turn. You've become soft but still intimidating, tell me how do you do it?" Hayden mocked.

Psymon pulled the knife out of Hayden's hand and held it against his neck.

"I'm telling you now, I'm not afraid to kill you, I've already killed you mentally, now I can do it physically, play nice Hayden, and do us a favor, get the hell out of our lives!" Psymon threatened.

"Hey Psymon, How's Elise?" Hayden laughed evilly.

The scariest look came across Psymon's face as he laughed.

"YOU MOTHERFUCKING BITCH!" Psymon screamed as he aimed the knife towards Hayden's crotch.

"How would you like it if I were to cut your balls off and make you eat them? Huh? You like raping women you pathetic bastard! You did it to Kaori and you did it to Elise! For that, I think that they should watch you suffer at the hands of your god!" Psymon whispered maniacally.

Kaori was so shocked; he had done this to Elise as well?

Hayden just laughed.

"You, a god? Don't make me laugh, your such a comedian Psymon, I always looked up to you. What the hell was I thinking?" Hayden spoke lightly as if Psymon didn't scare him one bit, but Kaori saw his hand shaking so much.

"Bullshit! You hated me, that's why you stole my girlfriend and you fucking raped her right in front of me you pathetic bastard. How could you go so low!" Psymon was flaming and Kaori was so scared. It was so much to fathom all at once.

"She enjoyed every minute of it." Hayden said. That was the last straw.

The knife had struck Hayden right in the chest and Kaori screamed as Psymon was covered in blood. The look Psymon had on his face was pure revenge and hatred.

Hayden's body came tumbling to the floor.

Suddenly Mac came rushing in and he ran to Kaori almost as soon as he set foot in the room.

"Oh my gosh what the hell happened in here?" Mac asked, hugging Kaori who burst out crying in his shoulder.

"Oh Psymon what have you done?" Mac asked in a low voice. Eyeing the dead body in the pool of blood on the floor.

"He won't hurt anymore women now," Psymon bluntly said. He knew what he was in for and his assumptions were right as he heard the sirens approach the lodge.

The police cam rushing in and they instantly handcuffed Psymon who didn't even bother trying to resist.

The other policeman had Kaori and Mac sitting down in another room while they tried to clean up the body.

Kaori cried softly, but she felt so sorry for her best friend.

She was loosing the one person in the world who she loved because of her ex-boyfriends mistaken last words.

She cried for her.

As Psymon was being escorted to the cop car Elise came running up and she hugged Psymon. But he couldn't hug her back but if he could trade anything for it he would.

"What happened?" she asked.

"I killed him." Psymon said.

A look of horror showed in Elise's face but relief showed the next second.

"Are they taking you away?"She asked with a single tear falling down her cheek.

Psymon nodded and she burst out crying.

Psymon face turned to sadness and worry for his girlfriend he was going away from BIG mountain forever and he never told her how much she meant to him.

"Psymon," Elise sobbed. "I love you,"

Psymon turned to her with shock but smiled.

"I love you to, Elise, always have." He simply replied back.

"DON'T GO!" she yelled but it was too late he had gotten into the car and had driven off into the distance.

She was just left there with nothing. No ex boyfriend, no lover, no nothing.

She cried alone.

Kaori was in total shock. She was certain that she was gonna die then and there. Yet, Psymon had managed to arrive just on the nick of time.

Mac just hugged her and offered as much comfort as he could give.

"Its ok Kaori it's all over now," Mac calmed to stop her from crying.

How could she stop?

The sunrise came over the snow and every single pair of eyes watched as the first sun rays streamed over the sky.

Psymon's eyes, full of sadness and sorrow, saw the rising sun and smiled weakly, he knew he would go down this road sooner or later, he missed Elise so bad.

Elise's eyes watched the rising alone. Her lonely eyes cried themselves dry. She had finally told Psymon that she loved him, but it was too late. She wished she could turn back time.

Mac's eyes, full of sorrow and sympathy for Kaori, as he watched the golden rays make their way across the sky, eased his pain a little. A small smile made its way to his lips.

Kaori's eyes, swollen with tears, rejoiced, as she had never seen such a beautiful sunrise. For a moment, she didn't feel anything but joy, she loved it. That single moment of Joy changed everything in her life and she knew that nothing was wrong. Everything could work out.

But for now, she wanted to enjoy this moment all she could.

A new sunrise for the start of a new beginning, one without fear or hatred. A new life for the day with the beautiful shining sunrise.

THE END
