The Dream
Chapter One
Her scream filled the night. With shakey hands, Madsion reached over and turned on her bedside lamp. She sat up in bed and buried her head in her hands. The dream had been the same. The same as all of the others, and one that left her with a feeling of dread. No matter how hard she tried, she could never remember nor could she shake THAT feeing. It had been like this for months now, and it had started to take its toll. She barely ate or slept and she found it hard to concentrate. Something bad was going to happen and it made her feel something which she hated: helpless.
Even though she was a firm believer of the greater mysteries, this one threw her. Usually she could deceifer the dreams, but this latest one had her buffled and she found it very frustrating. All she could recall were flashes of green and a great need for help. Wiping her newly founded tears with the back of her hand, she got up and made her way to the bathroom. She gasped at the figure before her in the mirror. She wasn't at all like she remembered. Gone were the rosy cheeks, the flawless healthy skin, the sparkle in the those bright green eyes, the shiny radiant auburn coloured hair... instead she saw that of someone with puffy bloodshot eyes, pale skin, limp hair... . She turned the taps on and filled the basin with water.
"God, I look like shit" she muttered to herself and splashed her face with water. After applying a mud mask, she headed for her p.c. . She glanced over at her clock. 5.30 am. He would be there waiting for her, as he had every morning for the past few months. There was something about him which she liked. He listened well, never judged her, gave good advice and above all he always managed to make her feel better.
While she waited for the computer to start up, she headed for the fridge. The advantages of living alone - you could do whatever you liked whenever you wanted. She sighed as she put the water on to boil.
Time to go online
By the time she got her modem up and running, the water had boiled and she preceeded to the kitchen to make her coffee. She made herself comfy and searched the chat room for him.
Don: You're late
Madi: Sorry, another dream
Don: Again?
Madi: You know, same old, same old
Don: Really, that's odd
Madi: Yeah, knew you'd say that
Don: Anything different this time?
Madi: No, like I said
Don: Still seeing flashes of green?
Madi: Like I said
Don: Oh, sorry
She paused, her vision had blurred and the dream started again. Fear grippped her. It wasn't possible. This time she was awoke.
"Run Leo, run!"
"I won't leave you!"
"You have to, go ..." There were sounds of screeching wheels and then her world came crashing down around her. Slowly she peered over. Blood, lots of blood...
She woke with a fright. She found herself on the floor with a nasty headache brewing. She realised that during the dream she had come off her chair and had more than likely hit her head. She glanced at her clock. Fifteen minutes had passed. She sat there for a moment, taking in her surroundings. She was in her room, by herself and there wasn't any blood. Taking in deep slow breaths, she tried to shake off the shock of what had just happened. It was scary and so realistic. She could her the sounds of the street, hear Leo breathing heavily and worst of all the smell that lingered, it could only be compared to that of a ..... sewer... maybe, she wasn't sure.
What the fuck is going on?
This latest thing scared her. Was she going crazy? She remembered Don and turned to her computer.
Don: What's going on
Don: Madi you still there?
Don: Are you ok?

Half way across the world, in an old subway station, Donatello had started to pace. Madison had just stopped like that. He was getting worried. He knew how rough she had it lately and this latest thing was scaring him a little. He had to admit to himself, even though he liked her, he usually didn't get along with people like her... he was used to those that were more like him, more... scientific, but there was something about her that he found... refreshing. They talked about everything and anything for hours on end and at that point she was his highlight of the day.... but then things changed and she started to have those dreamings. He could feel her anguish and anxiety. It was tearing her apart and he was afraid for her.
Madi: You still there?
He peered at the screen and saw the cursor flashing, waiting for him to respond.
Don: What happened? You scared me!
Madi: Another dream
Don: What? When?
Madi: Just then, it was so real, what's happening to me?
Don: But you're awake!
Madi: I know
Don: Same?
Madi: No, flashes of green, a real bad car accident, someone called Leo
Don fell off his chair.
