Chapter 11 – Liam

Jolting awake. My whole body was drenched from head to toe in icy cold water.Just what was the big idea?Shivering I lunged forward, looking for who had done it. Screaming at the top of my lungs.There were actually blocks of ice all over the bed.And standing alone, in a black vest with salt and pepper hair, and a massive smirk spreading across his face was a tiny old man.How did he even get into my room?"Don't look at me with those eyes.
