Chapter 9: The Portrayal
Suddenly I sprung up and looked around, breathing heavily. "Brennan, you ok?" I heard
what sounded like Jesse's voice ask. "Jesse?" I asked looking around. Upon seeing him
my jaw dropped and I stared in horror. "Brennan?" Shalimar asked and I found her there
too. "H-how?" I stammered. Seeing them before me. "How what?" Jesse asked starting to
get impatient. "How can you be alive?" I asked them. They both gave me the strangest
looks of confusion, worry, and fear. "What?!" I asked them, agitated. "Why did you think
we were dead?" Jesse laughed a bit as he said that. I glared at him for laughing and
replied, "Mason killed you. All of you. Then I killed him." Jesse raised his eyebrows and
said, "Oooookay." I narrowed my eyes at him in a threatening way, and he chuckled.
"You think this is funny don't you?" I asked him. He opened his mouth to talk, but
Shalimar cut him off, "Brennan, I don't know about Jesse, but I don't think this is funny.
Seriously, I'm concerned." Jesse laughed yet again and said, "Yeah, concerned for his
sanity." Shalimar walked over to Jesse and slapped him hard across the face. He pressed
his hand against the left side of his face in pain and Shalimar spoke harsh, "How could
you be so cruel?! He saved your life, and mine, and this is how you thank him? How dare
you!" I smiled seeing Shalimar protect me but returned looking serious in an instant.
Shalimar walked back towards me and sat at the edge of my bed. She smiled at me and
turned back to Jesse. "Get out of here!" she demanded. "What?" he asked her stupefied.
"You heard me, leave! Now!" she barked and him. 'Yikes' I thought and wondered how
Jesse would respond. "Uh. why?" he inquired. She lowered her voice a little and spoke,
"I want to talk to him, privately." Jesse just nodded and left the room. She watched him
go and returned her attention to me. "So, why did you think we were dead?" "Like I told
Jesse, Mason." "No, not what you told Jesse." she interrupted. "Brennan, before you
went to sleep you weren't acting like this. All the sudden you wake up and you're
freaking out 'cause Jesse and I are alive. It was just a dream." She instructed me.
"Maybe." I told her. "But it felt like more." "What do you mean?" she had a strange
expression on her face. "I dunno. Maybe it was nothing, but it just felt like a vision. You
know what I mean?" I tried to explain. "Like a telepathic vision?" she asked very
confused at this point. "No, no. Not like that. Like for one day, one dream, I could see a
part of the future. But I thought the future was the present, so I thought you two were
dead." I concluded. She nodded but I knew she couldn't quite understand me. "So what
exactly happen in your dream?" she asked me. "Well, it started out as me going back to
Sanctuary. No one was there so it was a bit weird. I looked around and found the rooms
deserted." I paused. "Then Mason was there. He did something to my powers and told me
he had killed all of you. He then tried to kill me, but I dodged his bullet. Then I attacked
him." I finished. "I thought you said you killed him." Shalimar wondered. "Yeah. I did."
I sighed. Deciding to change the subject I asked her "Where's Emma?" she seemed to
like the change and replied, "Still downstairs with Adam. they've been down there a
while. Maybe I should check on them." "Yeah you should." I told her. "I'll be fine." She
smiled once more and left the room calmly. I laid back down and pondered what my
dream actually meant. 'Was it the future? If so, how did Mason escape? How did he get
into Sanctuary?' this question got me thinking about the other people. 'How did they get
into Sanctuary?' I wondered. 'I've got to talk to Adam.' I knew I wasn't supposed to be
leaving the hospital room, but I didn't care. I got up and staggered out of the room. I
made my way down the hall, surprisingly not seeing any hospital workers. 'That's always
good.' I thought and headed downstairs. Adam and I meet eyes immediately and he ran
up to me. he seemed to not have been doing much different then the last time I saw him.
"Brennan, you shouldn't have left your bed." He informed me. "Yeah I know Adam. But
I need to talk to you." "Alright. Lets get back upstairs before you collapse, and then we'll
talk. Okay?" I nodded and smiled as we headed upstairs.
