A Painful Gift

Summary: Emma wakes up after a dream to find that she's having premonitions of the future and dreams of the past.

Authors Notes: I really wanted to write a story about Emma and I haven't seen any stories like this one yet. By the way '...' are Emma's thoughts and writing. This is just a little test of a story so if it's reviewed well I'll continue it. So let me know what you think.

1- Sick Of This

Emma laid in her bed tossing and turning, there were images flashing in her head, and she was choking. She wasn't choking. She was drowning. She could feel the water rush down her lungs, but couldn't get up. There was something keeping her down and she could feel the pressure on her shoulders as it pushed harder the more she tried to get up. She stopped breathing and for an instant it was black.

Her eyes shot open and she sat up in bed gasping for breath. Emma grabbed her chest in fright as she looked around her room. 'It was just a dream'

She caught her breath and pulled up her sleeve to check her shoulders. She could see the bruises that had formed and she was terrified. She thought about what had just happened. She wasn't just drowning, there was someone keeping her down. Killing her. But it wasn't her. In the water she could see the hair that had gotten in her face and stopped her from seeing the face of the person drowning her. The hair was light brown and it was not hers. With tears running down her face she realized who the girl was. It was Terri.

'This is the third time that this has happened. And now I know who it was'

Still shaken she went to write in her journal in her journal.

'So it happened again tonight. It's really unfair. I mean I know the truth about what happened to Terri. Rick did do it. But that was three years ago. And there's nothing I can do about it. I'm sick of this.'

She finished writing and headed back to bed. Even if it wasn't a good idea she needed to try to sleep.
