GH5 23: May 30th, 2015-(Part 2).

The dream once again changed scenes and i was now sitting in the back-seat of my Dad's station wagon with my 5-year old self. We were driving on the road through the countryside of Canada.

"Is it dark in the woods where you use to live, Mommy?" Asked my 5-year old self.

"Well, i didn't really live up there when i was growing up. I, uh...It's just a place we used to go on vacation with our parents when your aunt Candace and i were kids. But it gets pretty dark pretty dark, yeah." Mom explained.

"Are there bears in the woods?" My 5-year old self asked.

"No, but there's lions...and tigers-"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, you cut it out, i'll never get any sleep tonight." Mom said, cutting Dad off.

"Lions?" My 5-year old self asked.

Mom and Dad shared a grin with each other and i grinned at the scene playing before me. Even though this was the day i lost my Mom, the memories before the tragedy were so sweet. The nostalgia was overwhelming.

The dream changed scenes again and my 5-year old self was now reading the book, 'Elliot Gets Lost'. Not good. For this was the moment my life and my Dad's life changed forever.

"This is...the story of a puppy. His name is...Eli..." Said my 5-year old self, reading the book.

"Elliot." Mom said, looking in the back-seat at my 5-year old self.

"Elliot. His name is Elliot." Said my 5-year old self.

"You got it." Said Mom.

"He is going on an...adventure..." Said my 5-year old self, continuing to read the book.

"An adventure." Said Mom.

"What's that?" My 5-year old self asked.

"An adventure? You don't know what an adventure is?" Dad asked. "What we're on right now. Out here in the wild, not another soul in sight for hundreds of miles...with just the stars to guide us."

"Is it scary?" My 5-year old self asked.

"Well, see, that's the thing about adventures. You gotta be brave. Are you brave?" Dad said.

"Of course you are. I think you are the bravest boy i ever met." Said Mom.

My 5-year old self grinned at Mom.

Just then, a delivery truck came out of nowhere.

"JERRY, LOOK OUT!" Mom screamed.

But it was too late. Dad had no time to move the station wagon, as the delivery truck hit the vehicle head on with a loud 'CRASH'!

The dream cut to white upon the vehicles' impact with each other and i was back in Dreamland.

Adriana walked up to me. "Did you see him? Is my Dad hear? My Dad's hear in your dream?"

"I saw the truck he was driving coming toward the station wagon my parents and i were in and...and...and it all played out just like it did on the actual day of the wreck." I said.

"Hey, Dad! Dad! It's me, Adriana!" Adriana shouted as tears filled her eyes.

"It's no good, A. He's gone and so is my Mom." I said.

"(Crying) Why, K? We have to get him back, this could be my only chance to see him again." Adriana said as the tears ran down her face. "Hey, Dad! Dad!"

"Adriana...he's gone." I said.

"(Crying) No. No, he can't be gone. It's not fair. At least you got to see your mother one last time. I never even got to see my father's body after the wreck." Adriana said as more tears ran down her face. She then wiped them away with her hands.

"I know who the Bog-Man is now." I said. "It's R.L. Bogman. It's the ghost of the serial child killer who was shot and killed by police on Halloween night-1988."

"Okay, fair enough. But that still doesn't explain why he's after you." Adriana said.

"I don't think he just started coming after me when we arrived at the Dales. I think he's been after me in my dreams since i was five. Sounds logical, since i didn't start having nightmare until after my Mom died." I said.

"I'm confused. What does your mother's death have to do with this paranormal creature coming after you in your dreams?" Adriana asked.

"My guilt." I answered.

"What?" Adriana asked, confused.

"My guilt over my Mom's death. That has to be the reason why. Otherwise i wouldn't have relived that memory just now." I said.

Isaac, Copper, Connor, Seth and Harper walked up to me and Adriana and we turned to face them.

"It wasn't your fault, Connor. The Bog-Man's always been after me. I don't know why he's after you too, but...i think i know how to make him go away. I'll even help you if you want me to." I said.

Connor nodded in agreement and we both walked off together.
