Chapter 25
Sabrina awoke with a start. The bed sheets were in a twisted mess. They were also soaked with sweat and Sabrina was shaking uncontrollably.
"Gross," Sabrina whispered to herself. She looked around. The shabby little apartment room was just how it was before she went to sleep. Excluding the bed.
She stripped the bed of its sheets, laid a different blanket down and changed her pajamas.
She looked at the clock. 1:23 a.m.
The door creaked open. Sabrina sat up with a start.
"Sabrina?" whispered Daphne.
"What?"
"Can I come and sleep in here?"
"Why?"
"I had a bad dream- where are you sheets?"
"Umm-"
"Never mind."
"Why don't you go to mom and dad's room?"
"Their door is locked."
"I didn't know the locks in this place would even work. So I'm just the last resort?" Sabrina teased.
"Oh, stop it," said Daphne, climbing onto the bed. "Can I tell you about it?"
"Why not," Sabrina said.
Daphne told, with a lot of vivid details that perfectly described Sabrina's dream, but from a different point of view.
"You were killed then I was and then I woke up," Daphne finished.
"That's ridiculous," Sabrina laughed.
"No, it's not!"
"That's not what I meant. I meant that I had the same dream.
"Huh? How is it possible?"
"Maybe it really happened," Sabrina joked.
"Maybe it did!" Daphne said, taking the joke seriously. "It did seem real! Not dreamlike, but, you know, like the Book of Everafter."
Someone started laughing.
"Oh brother, you two are ridiculous. Think that our dream was real."
"You had the same dream too?"
"No, I'm just being sarcastic," said Puck sarcastically.
"Sarcastic. Really?" said Sabrina. "What do think happened?"
"I don't know," he snapped.
"Calm down!" Sabrina shouted in a whisper.
Someone knocked on the door downstairs.
"Oh, no," Sabrina said.
"Oh, don't be a dwarf. It's just the doorbell," said Puck.
The trio walked down the hallway.
"You open it, Puck," Sabrina said.
"No!"
"Sissy."
"Triple sissies," said Daphne. "Just open it Sabrina."
"Fine."
"Ha!" said Puck.
Sabrina cautiously opened the door.
There stood Moth.
They all gaped.
Then Sabrina cried, "Why not a butterfly!"
