There was something strange about this… not the same nightmare; the same wood where he had left me yes but this was different, there was a girl…

Like I'd seen her before, until I realised it was Alice!

"Alice?" I whispered to myself, she obviously must have heard me because she turned around and the sun glistened off her face as she smiled wickedly at me, then she turned and started walking off again.

"Alice!", "Alice, Alice, Alice!" I screamed as I ran after her I stumbled "ALICE!" and then she was gone.

"ALICE!" I screamed as I woke, I looked around my room; still dark, 1:30 the clock read.

It was just a nightmare I told myself and then realisation hit me and the hole I'd so desperately avoided consumed me, I clutched my pillow as tightly as I could and sobbed a heart broken sob trying to get rid of this horrible feeling hoping that the numbness would soak into me, but it had been a long time since numbness resided in me.
