After a wide spread search, Shane found me in the boiler room sitting next to Kane, who was unconscious in my arms. Shane called for the medics and they sent Kane to the hospital. After verifying with dad about security, we went to the hotel for some much-needed sleep.

After taking a nice, hot shower, I changed into a pair of pink shorts and a grey tank top. Room service came with my cheeseburger and fries. Dad would kill me for eating a cheeseburger, since I'm supposed to be on a diet, but after what happened tonight, I needed some fat-kid food.

Ring, ring. Ring, ring.

"Hello?"

"Kristine? Are you okay?"

"Yea, mom; I'm okay."

"Shane told me what happened. He didn't catch you, did he?"

"No. Undertaker didn't catch me. He saw me in the boiler room, but he didn't kidnap me."

"That's good. I don't want you to experience what Stephanie went through."

"By the way, how is Stephanie?"

"She's getting better, slowly. The doctors say it will be a couple of weeks before they release her."

"At least she's recovering. I got to go. Tell Stephanie I said "hi" and I'll come see her soon."

"Okay. Get some rest, Kristine. Stay strong and I love you."

"Love you too. Bye."

"Bye."

After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I climbed into bed and drifted to sleep.

I was in a garden filled with black, purple, and white roses. The sun was blocked by threatening rain clouds, making the garden more mysterious. I was wearing a purple sun dress with a sweetheart neckline and no shoes.

As I walked among the sleeping roses, I plucked a white rose form its vine and tucked it behind my left ear. As I walked along the pathways, I heard a lonely voice:

"Just a little farther, little one."

I continued my walk deeper and deeper into the garden. As I turned and rounded corners, I kept hearing that voice:

"Keep walking, little one. You're almost there."

As I rounded a corner, my eyes fell upon a large oak tree and a cloaked man.

"There you are little one."

"Who are you?"

"You will find out in time little one."

"Why do you keep calling me 'little one'?"

"You have many questions, but all will be revealed in time."

Just then, a gust of wind blew through the garden, making me shiver. Then, the cloaked man cupped my face and kissed me. The kiss sent electricity through my body, making me feel like I was on fire. I wrapped my arms around the man's neck as his arms wrapped around my waist. As we pulled away for air, I caught a glimpse of the man's eyes; they were an acid green color. He let out a wicked laugh and everything faded into darkness.

I woke up with a jolt. That was a freaky dream, or was it a nightmare? Whatever it was: it was freaky.

I turned and looked at the clock on the nightstand: 2:30 in the morning? *sigh* whatever. I got up and walked to the bathroom. I looked at the mirror: my face was flushed and I was sweating like crazy. I soaked a washcloth with water and rubbed my face and neck. That cooled me down a bit, but something didn't feel right. Somehow, the man in my dream seemed familiar.

'Girl, you're just imagining things. Go back to bed.'

That sounded like a good idea. I walked back to my bed only to be met by cold air.

'What the heck? Why is it so cold? I didn't turn the air down that low.'

I looked at the thermostat: 60 degrees! What the hell? I shook away my thoughts and turned the dial up to 72. I slumped over to the bed and fell into a dreamless sleep.

~No One's POV~

He watched as Kristine turned the dial on the thermostat and slumped on the bed. He smirked to himself: his work was far from over. The worst was just beginning.
