Is It Just A Dream?

by Echelon8394

Will has been released from Baltimore Mental Institution for the Criminally Insane. He was fishing and feeling content until he saw the stag, which turned into a man that looked like Lecter. How can he get everyone to believe he is the Chesapeake Ripper. He woke up, only to find himself in bed with the Ripper and their children (for sherlocked4eva at IG (: ) HanniGram.

Is it just a dream?

Prologue

It's great to breath in the fresh air again. The water was as calm as ever. I pulled the line and threw them back and repeated the process over and over again. It was so serene. I could live like this…, until I saw it…, the stag. It was coming this way, but I stood here as still as the water. The stag transformed into a man, but the horns were maintained. He was dark…, maybe because his soul is as dark as he is. He reminded me of Chesapeake Ripper…, of Hannibal Lecter. He even looked like Dr. Lecter.

I must find a way to let everyone know he is the Ripper. Beverly died in trying to prove it and I know deep down, it was Dr. Lecter.

The closer he walked towards me, suddenly there were dead bodies appeared everywhere around me. I saw Jack, Alana and Beverly among others. There were also two little boys, one resembling me and the other like Lecter. Could it be me when I was young? But I looked differently when I was young. The other one that looked like Lecter; could it be when he was young?

He saw the stag man grabbed the two boys and began eating them. I screamed, but apparently my screaming was inaudible as if I'm in a silent movie. I tried running to stop him, but the water slowed me down. I fell and I couldn't get out from the water. It began to fill my lung and I felt suffocated.

Will woke up, sweating and breathing heavily. He covered his face with his hands and tried to slow his breathing. He looked at the clock on the night stand and it was 3.30 am. Then, he felt a movement next to him. He thought it was Winston or any of the dogs, but he was wrong.

He saw the two little boys from his dream – the one that stag man was eating. The one that looked like Lecter was facing his way while the one that looked like him was facing the other way, towards another person – a person which Will knew all too well.

Lecter was aroused from his sleep when he felt movement on his bed. He thought one of the boys was getting up to use the bathroom, but it was Will and he was sweating.

"Hello Will", said Lecter.
