All these images run through my mind…These dreams…. I can't escape them… When I close my eyes I see them… People happy and children running… green fields…but these people look different then me… I have pale skin…and they don't. They have darker skin with red eyes…and as I look down at my hands, I am now one of them… I look around to see if I know anyone, if anyone is familier… a man rushes towards me and takes my hands. I have never met this man, never, but….my body becomes relaxed and I feel safe with him…who is he…? He leads me to a tree and takes me in his arms. His body is warm, soft, loving. He doesn't move as he holds me; he seems upset…. This man…. Why do I feel….happy?
He finally looks at me and tells me something, but I can not hear him. He takes my hand, and places an object in it. It is a necklace. Silver, with a blue jewel in the middle. I hold it up to look closely and smile. Seeing me smile makes him happy, and he takes me in his arms again. He looks into my eyes, tilts my chin, and then….
…I jolt out of my sleep, panting, and my body feels hot. I look around to find out where I am. I am under a tree in a field, alone. I feel something in my hand, and I smile at my findings. A small necklace with a little blue jewel sits still in my palm.
