CH.3 Dreams and Secrets
(San Diego Cal. USA)
Kat woke up sitting bolt upright and screaming in her bed, from the next room she heard her foster father Hank O'Connor yelling at her to shut the hell up. She mumbled something under her breath and sat still till she heard the deep snores telling her he had gone back to sleep. Quietly she went to her door, made sure that it was lock, and that her blinds were shut. After waiting a couple of more minutes she disappeared in a flash of light.
(Talphini Island, Tomorrow People's ship)
Adam Newman was studying at his desk when Kat appeared looking very shaken. Are you ok? Did you have another nightmare? he asked her. Ya, it started out with my usual dream, the one of that man and my mom fighting. I couldn't make out what they were saying but I think he may be my dad. Then it changes to the last fight I had with my mom before died. But then I had this really weird nightmare, I think it might have been vision Kat told him shivering. Adam led her to his bed, had her sit down and pulled the desk chair over and sat across from her. Tell me about the nightmare, it'll help. Well I'm tied up in some room but it's not a lab room or anything. It looks like a sitting room and there's some one tied up on the other side across from me but I can't see who it is. Then this really tall creepy man is in front of me, he's really pale with red eyes and no nose. He looked kind of like a snake, he told me to join him or both the other person and I would die. Then what happened? I told him off big time and spat in his face, Kat replied looking embarrassed, then he pointed a stick at me yelling some Latin word and I felt all this pain. It felt like my body was on fire that's when I woke up.
Adam thought about this for a while Maybe we should try to find the first guy, the one you think is your dad. If you had this dream right after one about him, they could be connected. He might be able to tell us something about this other guy, so we can prevent it from happening How I don't even know his name or really remember what he looks like. I'm not sure but we can meet with the others later and talk about it if you want to. Thanks Adam, you're a great friend. Sorry I barged in on you like this. It's no problem; I'll talk to you later about when and where to meet o.k. Ya, bye Bye Kat then teleported back to her room and went to bed.
As soon as Kat left Adam sighed and laid down on his bed, [I'm a great friend. GREAT! Why can't I be more then that? Why can't I tell her how I feel?] [Because it's Kat.] he answered himself. [There's no way she feels the same about me. If I tell her how I feel it could ruin our friendship and I'd rather have that then nothing.] Thinking thoughts like these Adam eventually drifted off to sleep
