CHAPTER 2 DREAMS OF HORROR
I AM WALKING DOWN THE STREET when out of the shadows walks a person. I cannot see his eyes because a drooping hood is concealing them, but from his toothy smile, I figure he is friendly. He gestures for me to follow him further up the street. I walk beside him and hold his hand. "Where're we going?" I ask, breaking the silence. Another smile. He points ahead into the abyss. We keep walking, when suddenly I hear a noise behind us. He glances behind me and his once happy face mutates into a look of pure fear. I look to see why he is so terrified … and see a group of more cloaked men surrounding a pregnant woman. Two are restraining her and three are discussing something amongst themselves. Suddenly they get silent and turn their attention to a man with a black cloak. I realize he is their leader. He turns to one of his men and mumbles something that I could not hear. His follower nods. The leader walks near the woman until he is a few inches from her, and just stares at her, listening to her plead for mercy and for them to spare her child. He moves around her until his cloak is covering her, and chants something. The woman jumps from the cloak and lay writhing on the ground in sheer agony. The man turns in my direction, his attention turned to the bloody child he is cradling in his arms. He cues his men to carry the rest of the sentence out. They huddle around the dying woman and chants something in unison. Blinding light!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everything begins to swirl and I wake up with blood curling screams still ringing in my ears.
I am up and traumatized. Tears sting my eyes when I realize I witnessed a real murder. My bedroom door flew open and in rushed my concerned foster parents. My mom cradles me as my dad turns on the light. "Another nightmare, hun?" I nod weakly. "It was horrible, mom!" I sobbed, "Simply despicable!" I bury myself in her shoulder and continue crying. It is all right now sweetie, it will be ok. We're here." she coed comfortingly. "Yeah whatever it is," my dad chimed in," It's over now." I took a few deep breaths to calm down. "Better?" my dad asked. "Much." I answered.
My mom held me until I was out again. She looked at my tearstained face.
"John this has got to stop. I mean this has happened 3 nights in a row."
"I know, I know. Do you think we should ask her what her dreams are about?"
"No she's a strong girl. I bet she'll handle it on her own."
