Ch.1. Nightmares

Another day, another nightmare. I thought as I stood in line for the tiny, warm water fountain. It had been a long day of classes and I wasn't done yet. I irritably brushed a stray piece of my coppery blond hair away from my dark grey eyes. The girl in front of me moved away and I bent down to hopefully sooth my parched throat. I couldn't help but think of all of the recent nightmares I had been having. I must have only had about four hours of sleep last night.

"Rae! Get in here! Choir practice is starting!" A voice shouted at me from within the music room. I blinked sleepily back at the room before entering. The pale room was full of staring eyes and I knew at least five people had noticed the change in my behavior in the past few weeks, but the majority of the choir was totally oblivious.

"Rae you look awful, have you had trouble sleeping?" A girl in the back asked. Her bright blond shoulder length hair hung down in a straight sheet on either side of her face and accented her clear emerald green eyes.

"Hi Ruth." I replied sleepily, "Yes I have had a lot of trouble sleeping". I yawned before taking my place with the seconds. We started to sing Lets call the whole thing off before I started to nod off. I slipped out of reality and in to a world of dreams before anyone noticed.

I blinked my eyes open to the interior an old Victorian house. All of the blinds were drawn making it hard to see the walls on the other side of the room. I sat up and rubbed my temples trying my hardest to remember how I got here from the well lit music room.

Suddenly a hissing noise jolted me back to the room and out of my quiet reverie. Something or someone in the room was chanting in a forgotten language. I looked around wildly before locking my gaze with a pair of glowing topaz eyes.

"NO!" I screamed.

My eyes jolted open to a few terrified faces. Ruth and two other girls were hovering over me .One of the girls had coppery brown hair and pale brown eyes, the other had bright blue eyes and light blond hair.

"Rae? Are you ok?" The blond asked. Her hair was drawn back into a short ponytail that bobbed behind her head.

"I think I am Becky. Why?" I replied as I tried to sit up on the bed I was laid out on. I couldn't even figure out why there was a bed in the school.

"You fell off the risers and hit your head." The other replied. "Becky and I helped Ruth carry you up here." I Looked around for Ruth but the small blond was nowhere in sight.

I looked around to see where I was. I was surrounded with white wash walls in a room with no windows. The nurse's office, Of course, where else would they bring me? I thought just before an image of Ruth flitted through my confused mind, Ruth must have been worried sick.
