Naomi POV >>BALI (NIGHT)I woke up with a jolt, my heart racing.For a second, I couldn’t tell if I’d dreamed it, the sound that tore me out of sleep. Then it came again, it was like a slow, careful creak.It was like someone was in the house!But…that's not possible, is it? Was it Francine??My breath snagged in my throat. I lay there, frozen, eyes locked on the dark ceiling. Maybe I was imagining it. God, I had to be imagining it. Being with Dean did this to people, honestly. It turned you into a twitching mess, afraid of even your own shadow. He crawled under your skin and stayed there, whispering even when he wasn’t around.The floor creaked again and I sat up, my heart pounding like it wanted to tear out of my chest. The room looked normal, the couch, the empty bottles, the half-packed bag on the table— nothing out of place, except the silence that followed. I swallowed hard, my lips dry. “Please,” I whispered under my breath, “Francine, if you’re out there… Please help me.”
