It had happened again. The silent scream that drew her from sleep. The terror as she reached for a gun she always left just out of reach.
It had been months since the events in Racoon City, since she'd brought Emily home and made her own little family. The young girl had been an anchor for her. Teaching the small girl had given her comfort she didn't know she needed and Leon, he was there to listen. And the rest of them offering support they knew she'd need.
Grabbing her phone she checked the time.
1:38 AM
Far too early to be awake but there was no ways she'd be able to call back to sleep now. So she started her day. Checking on Emily she saw the small girl was still asleep, and she was grateful. Her nightmares had woken the child up before. Moving on she went to get a cup of coffee and with her phone in hand went to sit on the back patio, door open to keep an ear out for Emily. So she doom scrolled, sending things she new people would find funny to them, when she got a notification from one of her friends around 3 am.
Busted.
