Snippet #2434563

Cassie sighed heavily as she tossed and turned in her bed, every so often Beau would cast her a tired look, his brown eyes looking at her as if commander her to settle. She rolled her eyes at the dog, but that was just the thing, she couldn't settle not after the evenings event. After ten minuets of trying to get comfortable, Cassie became still, lying flatly on her back her eyes fixated upon the ceiling and she became aware that sleep was not going o be a luxury that evening.

It was a mixture of thing really, fear was one of them, despite herself, despite her upbringing, she was fretful that evening, every shadow, every creek drew her attention, it was like her senses were in overdrive...teasing her almost. Although that wasn't the only reason behind her insomnia, the throbbing in her head remained, refusing to relinquish. Cassie suffered for a little while longer before she decided pain killers were a must, kicking back her blankets, she swung her legs over the edge of the bed and make the short walk from her room to the bathroom.

As she reached the door, she hesitated momentarily, remembering it had been where the voice had spoken those menacing words. It was enough to make her hesitant, but summoning her courage Cassie opened the door and flicked on the light. She walked inside quickly, grabbing the bottle of pills that she needed, filled her glass with water and then left again, closing the door as she did. It was then she heard the voices coming from the open door, voices which were very familiar, one was Bills that much was certain, the other was Jeremy, of which she was also certain. A smile pulled at her lips as she made her way to the stairs, walking down she saw the two brothers outside chatting happily, in the lights from the house illuminating their figures in the dark.

Grabbing a jacket from the peg, she walked out onto the veranda, "Jer..." She called out lightly, her smile returning as she walked down the steps and walked over to the brothers, wrapping her arms around Jeremy as she reached them, "thank you for coming."
