Chapter 10- Voices
Since that phone call, Mandeline couldn't stop thinking about what she had heard on the other end. Why did Shaun sound so angry? Who was the other woman he was talking to? And most important . . . what doesn't Shaun want to tell her? And WHY doesn't he want to tell her? All these questions were running through her mind while she was lying in bed, the night after the phone call. Oddly, in her sleep, she heard voices. It wasn't the voice she had heard on the other line of Shaun's call . . . it was . . . a man. He was shouting. Yelling. Probably cries of help. Sorrow. Need. He was shouting, "Mandy! Mandy!"
What? How could this be? Who was shouting her name? Nothing's right . . .
Suddenly, Mandeline awoke with a jolt. She sat up instantly, slightly shaking the bed. She was breathing hard and spun her head around to see if someone were in her room. All of a sudden, she felt a chill go down her spine and gust of wind blow in her face. She looked to the window to see if it were open. It wasn't. She let out a small gasp and looked around the room, freaked out and scared. 'Oh my gosh . . . ' she thought, 'what's happening? Why does everything feel so . . . empty?'
Then, out of nowhere, she saw the rose that Shaun had given to her lying on the bed sheets in front of her. It was still red as the day he had given it to her, and seemed to have an eerie glow around it. Then, mysteriously she heard the same voice whispering. "Remember me . . . remember me . . . . remember me . . ." until it faded out.

~ Authors Note ~ Yeah, I know. This chapter was kinda mythical, but I'm trying to write each chapter with a certain style. Like some chapters have a ring of anticipation, while others are really mushy. Well this is my shortest chapter EVER and probably the worse cliffhanger, but I just LOVE keeping you guys hanging. Heehee, joking. r&r! TO BE CONTINUED!
*A special thanks to my friend Sharleen on this chapter! Part of the dream is based on her experience!* *Another special thanks to ShaneWestIsMyBaby224! I'm on her favorite stories list! Thanks, you!!*
