Chapter 10:
Jumping in her sleep she brushed the long sliver of sweat from her eyes. Her heart was pounding and her mind was racing.
All of the images she'd seen were jumbled in her brain. Who were Dean and Tess? The flashing between scenes and places had been seriously disorientating.
Red eyes, black eyes and people taking part in deals. What did any of it mean?
These dreams hadn't happened for a while and she had been hoping they had disappeared or "she'd grown out of them."
The name that stood out was Winchester. She'd heard it somewhere before but couldn't quite place it. Taking a deep breath her breathing began to slow.
Pushing back the damp covers she slid from the bed. Listening out she couldn't hear her parents moving around so she opened up her laptop and opened an internet search engine.
Controlling her shaking hands she typed in Winchester. It brought up a town in England called Winchester, Winchester rifles but she was looking for something local.
"Bingo" her mouse hovered over the link that said small local garage called Winchester autos. It was only listed in the local business listings but she clicked on it anyway. The garage was about six miles away and the proprietors were Dean and Tessa Winchester.
She wasn't sure how they were going to become involved in her life but once she'd dreamt about someone they generally turned up in her life one way or another. This time it was a couple and Dean was a hunter.
She guessed that it was a hunter of animals but the word ghost or spirit kept popping up in the snippets of conversations as well as the school corridors. Writing all of it down on a notepad she closed the internet. Whoever these people were they were going to be important in her life.
Somehow.
Shivering she slipped back under the covers. It looked like Tessa and she were linked by their dreams and telepathy. She'd always known she was special but at times being the way she was, was downright scary.
Sighing she closed her eyes. These nightmares left her shaken and cold picking up her mp3 player she plugged in her headphones and pressed play. She knew she wouldn't be able to sleep now so music sometimes helped calm her even if it didn't completely push away the niggle at the back of her mind.
She wondered how long it would be before they appeared and what exactly it would all entail when they did show up. The worrying part was the images of her school corridors closing her eyes she attempted to clear her mind.
Taking several deep breaths and focusing on Sarah McLachlan's voice.
Slowly but surely she felt herself begin to wander and she finally drifted off to sleep.
