Chapter one
Abby awoke with a start, her heading pounding, and her body dripping in sweat. It was that dream again. One of the many nightmares she had been plagued with every night since she could remember.
"Abby?" A drowsy voice called out into the shadowy darkness. A tall man with a haggard and shabby face emerged from the hallway into the room. "Are you alright? I heard you thrashing about again." He said as he sat down next to her on the bed.
"Yeah, I'm fine; it's just a dream again. Remus, why do they never go away?" The eleven year old girl asked her guardian curiously.
"Well I'm going to pull a leaf out of Dumbledore's book Abby, but I'd say the dream may continue to plague you till you come to terms with it, or understand it you know."
He hated to give her answers like these, but they were the truth, and she, of all people deserved it. Her icy blue eyes gazed up at him as she formulated her next question.
"When?" She asked.
"When what?" he replied.
"When will I come to terms with it?" she inquired, her blue eyes squinting at him as she wrestled with her thoughts.
"Someday, there is no way to know for sure, but when it does happen, you'll know. Now get some sleep, you have a big day tomorrow." He said as he coaxed her head back to the pillow.
"Yeah," she said sleepily, "my first train ride," And with that she began to doze off into her dreams or possibly nightmares. Remus walked to the door leading into the hallway, casting one last look upon the sleeping child.
"Why did it have to be her?" he whispered to himself, and with a shake of his head, he shut the door.
