Rachel was in her room. She had barely left all day. There wasn't really a reason to. Emily had spent most of the day in there with her. Emily had told her that someone was coming today. Emily thought it would help; Rachel was less convinced. She wasn't sure anything would help. Emily had left earlier, telling Rachel that soon he would be here and soon the nightmare would be over.
Rachel was lying on her side, facing the door. She didn't think that this would work, but she could try. For Emily she could try, but the fear was there, as it always was. Try as she may, Rachel couldn't dispel it. She expected that as the time got closer, it would grow. The doorbell rang, and even the musical chime couldn't get rid of the fear. She felt it growing as she knew that he was here - the mysterious man that Emily had found to help.
For awhile, the house seemed silent. Rachel couldn't almost see Emily talking with him - telling him what happened to her. Rachel had told Emily this was okay. At the very least, Emily felt relieved that Rachel was willing to help. The silence was broken as the pair ascended the stairwell, and the pair stopped outside her door. Rachel could here them talking quietly, even if she couldn't hear their words.
Rachel began to whimper quietly as her breath quickened. He'd be coming in soon. A man she didn't know. Rachel knew he wanted to help. Emily wouldn't bring someone into the house that would hurt her, but Rachel could still feel the panic beginning to rise in her chest as her hands began to shake. Rachel gripped the blanket to stop her shaking hands and tried to focus on her breath to calm down as much as she could. She had no idea what would happen when the door opened.
