Chapter 6
I woke up screaming. My arms flailed around as the picture of Shauna's lifeless body was flashed in front of my eyes. I stopped screaming as I realised I was safe in bed, and that Shauna was probably asleep. I got my breathing under control and threw the covers off me. I stood up and flexed my arms and my wrists. Jeese, I was stiff. I switched on the lamp that was next to my bed. I picked up my mobile phone and punched in Shauna's number. I waited as it dialed and rung. Ring ring...ring ring...ring ring...ring ring... no answer. I got her crappy answerphone.
"Oh crap." I said glumly.
I looked at my clock. Crap. Four AM. I could risk it. I had to see if Shauna was okay. Luckily she lived alone. I crept silently downstairs and slung on my coat. I shivered. It was really cold tonight. I unlocked the door and walked outside. I shivered again. I set off towards Shauna's street which was -luckily- just around the next corner. I walked quicker than I normally would've, mainly because I was cold, but partially because I was worried about Shauna. I arrived quickly and put my hand cautiously on the gate. I mentally shook myself and tried to ignore the niggling feeling of terror I was feeling. I swung the gate open and flinched. It was creaky. I hurried through the garden. Every tree and plant looked like a monster looming down to attack me. I shivered, from fear this time. I placed my hand on the handle and shoved against the door. It was open...how weird. There was a light on in the lounge and I walked in. I took in the scene, and I screamed. There was blood spatters all over the wall, staining the cream sofa. The TV was smashed in, and Shauna's mobile was lying on the sofa, beeping. In the middle of the room was the most horrific thing I had ever seen. Shauna was lying there, her neck slit from ear to ear. And lying next to her, was a long, silver, very familiar knife. I gasped. It was the knife from my dream. Ohmygod. I felt like I was going to faint. But I couldn't. I had something to do. I had to let the police know what had happened. I felt quite scared. The police? Ohmygod. I grabbed a soft, green blanket off the sofa. I shuddered. It was soaked in blood, but at least it would look okay. I dragged it over to Shauna and covered her in it. I felt tears flow down my face. I sobbed continuously as I ran out of the door.

Chapter 7

I didn't stop crying until I reached the police station. I realised I needed to
