You always think of the worst - I do the same and I definitely went through a similar stage to this and still have the odd feeling something disastrous will happen to me or a family member.
You need to realize the chances of you being kidnapped/raped/murdered in your sleep are so very tiny.
I'm not surprised you get these feelings though, since the outside world IS scary and you do hear of awful things happening in the news. but they aren't common. and if you're wary of your surroundings, you will be fine.
Also, since you're so close to your mother, it's natural you don't want her to die, but since death happens to us all at some point, it's useless thinking about it now. You are only 13, so just enjoy the moments you have together - you'll be having SO many more.
I'm sure this will get better soon and you'll learn to not be afraid of these things and look at life in a more positive way. It isn't to be scared of. Life is to be lived.
If you feel you can't stop these feelings, I urge you to talk to someone about it. Whether it's your mum, a friend, a counselor, etc - because getting it off your chest will help. and make you realize these things shouldn't be denting the confidence you're trying to achieve.

Keep your mind off of it. If it gets worse then tell your mom and maybe you could get help. dont live your life in feer. its not worth it.
