Dear Chloe,
A mystery has been presented to me in my dreams and I fear that I will not be able to solve it. True, our dreams are our subconscious thoughts working themselves out while we sleep, I can not think that this dream is a subconscious thought. Unless I subconscious know three people and a dog.
Last night was our first night in our new house and I had a very strange nightmare. I saw two kids running, they were my age—a boy and a girl, and they were chasing something. The something ended up being a large black dog dragging a second boy. The dog dragged the boy all the way to the base of a tree, and as soon as the other two reached the tree the branches started to swing around violently. Then the dog pulled the boy into hole between the roots of the tree and they disappeared into the ground.
I don't know who these three people are, or why I'm dreaming about them and I find it very disturbing. I don't know what any of it means and I don't know if I should try to figure it out. I haven't told Mother about it…she seems a little on edge today, ever sense she received a letter from a mysterious owl today. She said it was from work, but why would the Ministry be contacting her when she doesn't start working for another week or so. And why did the letter 'from work' make her go on edge so much?
So Signed,
Serena
