A girl sits in the distance… Her hair shoulder length and a pure white and her eyes a light blue-grey color… She was bound in a straitjacket the same white as her hair. She looked at me… just looked at me! And as she did a voice echoed through my head.

"The first seal was opened and from its pages emerged a figure on a white horse. And they were given a bow and the arrows of illness-which called a plague upon all hit with them-and the rider was named the white pestilence."

The girl stood and escaped her bonds before replacing her jacket with a lab coat with a red cross on it. She smiled and put on a name tag that read 'hospital staff - Dr. White' Then from her back grew a pair of white feathered wings. And locusts swarmed around her like a cloud, destroying everything around her.

Heather Green woke from her dreams, sweating and nauseous. The dreams were the same four every time. And with each year they became closer together, longer and more clear. This one was more realistic and fogless than any other… Heather could now easily recognise the woman as Amber White, her best friend since grade 4. Amber White was the towns only albino and her 'sister from another mister' was Lydia Black - a girl with dark brown eyes and long black hair tied back in pigtails. The two girls were inseparable. The last member of the group was Kasandra Red, a girl with tangled red hair and reddish brown eyes. Heather herself had green eyes and light brown hair.

All four girls lived in a small town in a middle of nowhere Ontario town. It was the middle of nowhere due to the seemingly endless forest that took up most of the surrounding area and made the commute to the nearest school a two hour hike. Kasandra and the sisters Black and White had been the only people Heather had even considered calling friends since she was a little girl. Red was practically her older sister with how close the two were! And the sisters were the first friends she'd ever made.

It made her nightmares all the more terrifying…

Amber White was studying with the town doctor, Dr. James, to become a practicing doctor. She once told Heather that she wanted to go to Africa to put her practice to good use. She could never, even if she possessed the power to do so, cause plagues of any kind. She would NEVER become this… this Pestilence character! And her sister Lydia was a similar story. She was already on her way to being a teacher! She was planning on following her sister to build schools and teach people who couldn't afford it otherwise. She could never resist helping someone who needed it, whether it was donating to the food-drive or giving a stray her lunch, she could never cause famine!

Red also, while occasionally violent, never fought unless defending someone else. Many a bully of Heather's was put in his place when Kasandra caught word of their actions. Bullies, adult and child alike, tremble at the name Kasandra Red. Now she used that to her advantage as a member of the town's finest and, all things considered, she did make a good cop. And Heather herself was a timid and harmless soul. Her horrific nightmares of herself murdering others with a mere touch was both disturbing and, in her mind, impossible. The girl couldn't put down the animals at the shelter she worked at, the idea of doing that to another human being was unimaginable to the girl.

So why were these dreams coming to her? Why was she having these terrible nightmares of death and destruction?

"I don't understand it…" she whimpered to a feline tenant at her shelter. The cat mewed back in a comforting manner and rubbed its head against the girls hand. The brunette smile weakly and replied "I know… It's just a dream…"

"What danger ever came from having a dream?"
