Dreams

Friday night's dream, on Saturday told,

Is sure to come true, be it never so old.

At times such as these Sandy gives dreams to a child, Dreams that feel so real.

These dreams sometimes are unpleasant, sometimes they are happy. But they are given as a warning to help children.

Ashley is a playful, sassy but not rude, sarcastic 12 year old little girl. Her sister Anna is 8 years old and happens to have a very similar personality to Ashely. These little girls are very very close to their 2nd cousin Brian. Now Brian on the other hand, he is a bit playful, but serious little 11 year old boy who just wants to join the army and save lives.

All three of them were very very close. Ashley and Anna are so similar that people mistake them as twins, Brian was Just like a brother to them he came over 3 times each week (in the least) with their grandma whom they have always looked up to.

Sandy is never a fan of giving a child these dreams, they are never nightmares, but they don't exactly make a child happy either. They are warning dreams to help them cope.

This dream will be the 2nd dream of this kind he has giving Ashley. Yes she may be Brian than Anna ever will be, and Anna will not remember much when she gets older.

Sandy sighed as he let the dream sand in her window giving her the warning dream, fallowed by a couple good ones, and the warning again.

Ashley's Dream- In what seems like the middle of now where, surrounded by nothing but water there is a circle pillar 10 feet tall 8 feed wide. Ashley is standing ontop of it, along with another person. Although she senses this person standing and talking to her she can not make out who it is for some reason. Then out of no wherean Eagle swoops up at takes this person away from her. She jumps in the deep ocean water after the Eagle and unknown person trying to save them only to be disappointed and miss the eagle by a thread. She looks back at the Pillar that has suddenly grown steps similar to those on a telephone pole and climbs up.

The eagle Eagle drops the unknown person in the ocean on the other side of the planet. Ashley doesn't see where the person has been taken too, but she knows in her heart where it is. And knowing this fills her with fear of the future, dread, and sadness, but also knowing.

"I know that dream" Ashely says to herself as she sits up in bed and looks to the right of her just to make sure her sister Anna is still there. And with that she goes back to sleep

3 weeks Later she has the dream again. But this time she woke up at 5 am instead of midnight. So she decided to go for a 2 mile bike ride, take a shower, and get ready for her 6 grade classes in the morning.

Sitting in class she looks at the clock 2:00 just 1 more hour till school is out. I don't know why I keep having this bad feeling in my gut. Its so familiar. I always get this before something happens. I just want today to be over and go home.

Her and her sister walk off the buss, down the street, down their drive way, to the side of their house, and up to the stairs to the front door on the second floor. To their surprise their dad and mom were sitting on the couch waiting for them. Their mom being home was nothing new. After all she worked downstairs in their basement selling Sports stuff. Their dad on the other hand should have just left for work and not be back till 2am.

"Annshley, Sit down." Their mother Put their names together when she was serious or they were in trouble "what'd I do?" the sisters said in unison. Which was just one more reason for why people thought them to be twins depsite their age differences.

"Brian is hooked up to monitors in the ICU at St. Mary's. While his parents where at work the house started on fire. Brian had gotten to the safety point in time but ran back inside to save his dogs. He was able to push them out a window and the dogs will be fine. Cody and Coda are currently at the vet waiting for his mother to pick them up after work. But Brian didn't make it out in time. His lungs are filled with smoke, and he's dehydrated. "

Ashley ran to her bedroom and fell asleep crying. The next two days of school were dreadful, she didn't speak to her 2 best friends, and chose to stay at her locker during lunch. On Friday she came home and worked up the courage to ask her parents how Brian was. When they told her that they pulled the plug, but told Her little sister Anna that Brian was Ana Angel watching over her now.

Ashley ran to her room She grabbed a box razor her mom used to ship her sports products out and started marking up her wrists. She didn't know what self injury was, it wasn't even taught in school at the time. But it was the first thing that came to her mind to cope with the pain of losing her cousin, no losing her Brother.

Sandy watched this girl ash she grew older. Today Ashley's Daughter turns 1. She is living with her mother. Her mom has the top half of the house to herself, and Ashley gets the bottom. Her sister is off at collage. And Her mom is still living in her 2 floor house, with her 5 cats, 1 dog, 2 gerbils, and 2 hamsters. Her sisters litter trained Bunny that ran around the house like a cat passed away last year. But she is okay and over it now.

Today she still believes in the Sandman despite being 22 years old, Today she knows what that dream means. She had iot before her Cousin died, before her grandmother and cat she had for 18 years passed away. She had it when her father Ran off with a 15 year old Ex-BFF girl, stopped taking hus meds and went into mania.

She has

Battled through self Injury, she has battled through Bulimia all on her own.

And today she no longer secretly stashes food, and puges it up, she no longer secretly lets metallic slice through her skin when she cries.

She fought through the years of not knowing how to cope, she fought on her own when no one was watching, she fought when no one knew her hidden coping mechanisms.

She now has scars to show for it on her arms, but she's okay with it. It's in the past. It is her battle wounds. She fought through the pain.

And will someday hide them with amazing tattoo that will mean something to her.
