Chapter 152 You Will Never Find Help
AMY
I didn’t know what pulled me under later at night. Maybe it was exhaustion, maybe the heaviness of everything that had happened lately.
Finished
All I knew was that my sleep didn’t feel peaceful. It felt strange, heavy. Almost like something was pressing really hard on my chest.
Then I heard my name. It sounded distant at first, almost like it came from somewhere deep underground, a sewer maybe.
“Amy…”
I tried to look around, but everything was pitch black. The air felt cold and sharp against my skin.
I called out, “Hello?” My voice echoed, but nothing answered. The silence was louder than sound.
Then I heard the voice again, this time it sounded closer. It was low and cruel. “You won’t find help here.” it echoed with hate.
I turned in every direction, but I couldn’t see anything or anyone. My heart began to race.
“Who are you? Where are you?” I shouted.
Still, there was no answer.
The ground beneath my feet suddenly broke apart. I screamed as I fell. There was no end, no bottom–just endless darkness swallowing me whole.
My hair whipped around my face as I kept falling faster. My chest burned. My throat tightened. I tried to call Daniel’s name, but the words wouldn’t come out.
Then the voice came again, whispering so close to my ear it made me freeze. “You will be alone forever.”
I screamed again, but the darkness only swallowed the sound. My stomach twisted as I kept falling until I couldn’t breathe anymore.
It felt like the world had disappeared and it was just me with the empty space pulling me down.
Then, a hand grabbed me suddenly.

“AMY!” Daniel’s voice broke through the dark. My eyes flew open, and I gasped for air like I had been underwater.
Sweat covered my face, and my heart pounded so hard I could feel it in my throat. My entire body was soaked with sweat, I might have drowned in them.
Daniel was holding my shoulders. His face was full of worry. “Hey, hey… it’s okay. You’re safe. You’re here with me.” he said to me in a low and gentle tone.
It took me a few seconds to understand where I was. I looked around. The room was dim, the moonlight barely touching the curtains. My hands were shaking, and my chest hurt.
“I… I was falling,” I whispered. “There was this voice, someone said I’ll never find help. I couldn’t see anything. It felt real, Daniel.”
He pulled me close, pressing my head against his chest. I could hear his heartbeat, steady and strong. “It was just a nightmare,” he said softly. “You’re okay now.”
But I didn’t feel okay. The fear clung to me like a second skin that would take me forever to peel off. My hands were still trembling, and every time I closed my eyes, I could still see the darkness swallowing me.
Daniel brushed my hair from my face and looked at me carefully. “You’re safe,” he said again, his voice firm this time. “Nothing can hurt you while I’m here.”
I nodded, but my breathing was uneven. I didn’t want to go back to sleep. I was scared that if I closed my eyes again, I’d fall right back into that same pit.
He must’ve noticed because he stood up and said, “Come on. You won’t be able to rest like this.”
He helped me out of bed and led me downstairs. The house was quiet, and the floor felt cold under my feet. Daniel turned on the TV and scrolled through the channels until he found an old movie.
I didn’t even care what it was. The sound and light were enough to keep me grounded.
He brought me a blanket and sat beside me. I leaned into him, and he wrapped an arm around my shoulder.
After a few minutes, he looked down at me and said softly, “You’ve been through too much lately. Maybe your mind just needed to let it out.”
“Maybe,” I murmured, but I wasn’t sure. The dream didn’t feel like something my mind made up. It felt like something or someone was trying to tell me something. But I didn’t say that. I didn’t want to worry him more.
The movie played in the background, but I barely followed it. I could still feel the echo of that

Daniel rubbed slow circles on my arm with his thumb, like he was trying to case the tension out of me. “You know,” he said quietly, “no matter what happens, you’re not alone. You have me. Always.”
