##~*~*~
She looked down at her knees. Remembering this made her insides feel like squirming worms. She bit her lip and started to rock back and forth a little as the memories of the dream floated through her head in slow motion. That made it worse than ever.
Scott saw this and stared at her. Realizing that there was something wrong he went over to sit by her "what's wrong?" he asked in the gentlest tone he could bring up.
She kept rocking and then, realizing that he had spoken to her, she stopped. "I uh." she stuttered. She couldn't help it; thinking about this made her afraid of what it might mean. "It's nothing important."
He stared. He realized that she didn't want to talk about it but he kept trying "I don't care if it's important. You can tell me"
She bit her lip again but for some reason she didn't have a problem talking to him like she did with other people "it's just. the reason I was out in the woods. last night I had a dream. It was the same dream I had on my birthday." she couldn't figure out how to start. It was the weirdest and scariest dream she could remember. She stopped as more memories ran through her head. Scott waited for her not pushing her to go on. "It was me. I think.and another guy. he was standing there screaming at me saying that I was to give him my power. Then I saw myself say that I'd never do anything to make him powerful enough to kill more people. I was older though. and I looked different.I don't remember much but it was weird.. The guy got mad and sent a bunch of other guys to hold me back. Then everything went into some kinda haze and I turned up in a forest. There were wolves. A white one and a black one. The white one had some weird blue glow around her and she attacked a bunch of guys. The black wolf came with me as I ran away toward some stream. The last thing I remember was a shadow of me and another person. We both started to get the blue glow and then. I woke up."
Scott sat through the whole thing watching her as she stared down at her knees thinking the whole thing over again and again. "You got it on your birthday?" he asked thinking it was a little weird for it to happen on that day.
"Well. my parents say that's when my birthday was. They say I told them when they adopted me." She said not realizing she hadn't told him this.
"Oh. I didn't know you were adopted"
"Neither did I until recently. My parents finally decided to tell me when I started acting weird. I sorta stopped eating after the dream and I couldn't sleep well at night so my grades dropped. They got really upset and sent me to a shrink" she grimaced at this. She hated going to the psychiatrist " I wouldn't tell him anything though. We used to sit there for hours as he asked me questions and I stared out the window ignoring him" she smiled. This was one of the few things she liked: pissing off adults.
He smiled at her. He was happy to see her calming down a little. "You like getting people mad?"
She laughed "only people like teachers. Shrinks are a new thing for me. But unlike teachers they just don't give up and they keep talking to you with that baby voice." She said. She didn't even realize how much she was talking to him. "Teachers are easy though. Give them something that they can't reply to and you've got 'em down." she said with a smile. She loved using her smart remarks that teachers taught her against them.
Scott laughed, "Well then I guess you have fun."
Her smile faded a bit "I did.. then that fricken dream. God I didn't even have enough strength to stand up to the teachers. All my friends left me alone after that. They thought I'd explode or something. Like I was holding everything back until someone got me mad enough for me to let it all out" she was on the verge of tears now. "I didn't know until my best friend wrote me a note about it. Then she left too." She swallowed hard trying not to cry but a few tears slipped down her face.
Scott stared. He couldn't believe that friends would leave her like that. Then, hesitantly, he put his arm around her. "If they were real friends they wouldn't have left you like that"
Now tears were streaming steadily down her face. She had thought about this once, but then she had looked in the mirror. Her face was pale and she had bags under her eyes. She couldn't get the courage up enough to tell him this.
Then the door burst open again "Oh look at lover boy" the man said. It was the same one as before.
Suddenly Shanna stopped. The really steamed her. Her face went rigid and she shouted back "At least he's lucky enough to do this without getting smacked, unlike some other guy in here" she couldn't let this guy get away like she had let all the teachers do.
Scott's eyes widened. Now he knew what she meant by using her words against them. They both sat waiting for the man's reply.
The man searched for words but couldn't seem to find any "oh if I only had the privilege to hurt you."
"Well what's stopping you? Some older and dumber guy?" Shanna snapped at him.
"Now you've asked for it!" he boomed and started towards her.
Just then a tall man with the coldest face walked in and cleared his throat. The other man stopped and a look of horror came over his face "I though I told you not to harm them." he said to the first man.
"I-I'm sorry master, but t-this girl just insulted us both." He stuttered.
"I did not!" Shanna shouted putting on an innocent face
"You liar!" the first man boomed turning his cold eyes on her
"How can you prove that?" She wined
"That is enough!" the second man called over to the first. "I asked you to baby-sit and you can't even seam to do that"
"B-but master."
"Now you big ugly git!" and with that they both left slamming the door behind them.
"Now that" Shanna said with a huge smile "is what I call fun!"
Scott stared unbelievably at her "how long have you been doing that?" he asked
"Ever since I can remember.. which isn't very long" she said with a small laugh.
They both looked right at each other and now that Shanna had stopped crying Scott took his arm away. Shanna looked around the room and suddenly saw her bag sitting in the corner of the room. "Since when was that there!" she asked. She had looked over the whole room and it was completely empty except for her and Scott. Until now.
"I don't know. it wasn't there a second ago" Scott replied just as surprised as her.
Shanna got up a little unsteadily and picked the bag up. She went through it until she pulled out a sketchbook. She flipped through the pages and a piece of paper came falling out. She picked it up and looked over it. "Look at this." She said handing it to Scott. It read:
Good job on outsmarting those two men. Please be careful while we find a way to get you away from that place. And I assure you, you will get out. And please Shanna; try to keep your tongue from saying anything that will get you into serious trouble.
Thank you,
A friend
They stared at each other wondering who could have known about this and how they would have gotten the letter here.
