Los Angeles, Mirah's house 1999:
Mirah sat up in bed. She was hot, sweaty and breathing heavily. She looked at her clock; it was 1:24am. She then looked at Robert, her boyfriend, he was still asleep. She got out of bed and put her dressing gown on, and then she walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and got out a carton of milk which she poured into a mug. She then put the carton back, picked up the mug and walked into the sitting room. Mirah sat on the sofa and put the table lamp on.
"Meow."
"Evaline." Mirah picked up the tabby coloured cat and put her on her lap. "What's wrong, sweetie."
Evaline meowed then jumped off her owners lap and ran into the kitchen. Mirah got up and followed the cat. When she got to the door Evaline was standing next to her bowl.
"Haha. Okay I'll feed you and then I better go back to bed."
Morning:
It was about 7:30, Mirah went to back to bed, but she didn't get any sleep. She was now in the kitchen pouring herself a cup of coffee.
"Did you have that dream last night?" Came Robert's voice from behind her.
"Yeah." Mirah turned to face him, and put her coffee back on the side. "But it was more terrifying and felt more real than the last one."
Robert went up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "It will be alright. It's just a nightmare, it can't hurt you."
"I know but it just scares me."
Robert kissed her forehead. "You'll be fine. I've got to go to work. I'll see you later."
"Bye." Mirah said as she kissed his cheek. Robert picked up his briefcase then walked out of the kitchen. Mirah heard the front door close, and sighed. The she picked up her coffee and went into the sitting room. She put her coffee on the table then laid down on the sofa. I'll try and get some sleep...
Voyager 2376:
"What else haven't you told me?" Chakotay asked as he sipped his coffee.
"Mirah was having nightmares after I entered her body." Janeway took a bite out of her sandwich, chewed, swallowed then continued. "She would dream that a powerful demon wanted to kill her. They terrified her. I think they were meant to scare her to death..."
1999: She was running. Running as fast as she could. Running through a house that had endless corridors and dead-ends. It was dark apart from a few lights spread out on the wall unevenly. She was breathing fast and heavy, her legs feeling like they could give way any minute. She looked behind her, but carried on running. He was still there, his face twisted with long sharp teeth hanging from his mouth. He was like a savage beast that hadn't been feed for some time. She turned away from him, but caught sight of long claws grow from his fingers and hang near the floor. She began to run faster, but she knew he was catching up with her. Then she ran into a dead-end and fell to the floor as he raised his sharp claws in the air, ready to slash out at her.
Mirah woke up with a silent scream. She was sitting up on the sofa, breathing heavily and sweating. She put her hand up to her forehead. Sweat was dripping off her face, down her neck making her hair and clothes stick to her. She started to breathe normally as she looked up at the clock, 3:30pm. I suppose I better meet Robert, she thought as she walked to her bedroom to get ready.
Half an hour Mirah was driving her car to meet Robert outside his work office. She put her foot down abit, because she didn't want to be late, but she also knew that she shouldn't because it was raining hard. It happened quickly; Mirah turned the corner and hit an oncoming car...
