Disclaimer: Sorry for the delay, I ran out of writing juice because I wasn't getting decent reviews. I need meaningful reviews, telling me if you guys liked it or not, and giving me a reason to why I should continue and what might I add into a chapter - that kind of stuff.

Chapter Four, Reality

The streets were covered in snow, and snowflakes were still falling from the winter pale sky. Sarah was trying to balance out the stack of gifts she had bought, but the slippery ice under her boots weren't allowing her to do so.

"Sarah, would you like some assistance?" KITT's voice blared through her earpiece.

She shrieked with surprise and fell to the floor with a loud thud. She groaned out the AI's name and sat up.

"I'm sorry Sarah, I did not mean to frighten you." KITT apologized, stopping next to her fallen body. Sarah use a mailbox for support and got up, walking over to the back of KITT.

She said, "KITT open your trunk please." and so the AI did.

A 'click' and the AI's trunk popped open. Sarah lifted the cover fully, when suddenly she was approached by a man carrying her presents.

She shook her head, and smiled, "Thank you." she took her gifts and placed them in the trunk.

"Why are you talking to yourself, Sarah?" KITT asked.

Sarah stiffened and turned around - the man wasn't there. Fear started to build into the auburn scientist; panting, she reached for her head and spun around to the direction of where the man might have went.

"KITT," she breathed in, "are you sure that I was talking to myself?"

"I am positive, Sarah." the Shelby replied, "Do you think that there might be paranormal activity going on in the area?"

"Yeah, I think so."

Sarah quickly closed the trunk and made her way over to KITT, she got in the car and closed the door. After buckling herself in, KITT started and drove away from the gift store, with a panting Sarah Graiman in the driver's seat.

"I wish I could help Sarah." said the shelby. The auburn scientist shook her head, "It's fine KITT, just keep driving--"

She gasped in pain as the seat belt to the Shelby Mustang tightened around her small waist. She tried reaching for the belt, but she was suddenly pinned against her seat and felt great pain in her throat, as if someone invisible was trying to choke her. She began to sweat, and she tried clawing at the invisible person in front of her - trying to make them stop, but to no avail. Sarah could feel herself loosing consciousness, she turned to the dashboard.

"K-KITT..." she managed to wheeze out.

"It'll be all over soon, Sarah."

"What..."

The struggling stopped, the gasping slowed down and Sarah couldn't breathe anymore - she fell into a deep sleep, never to wake up again.


Eyes snapped open, and Sarah shot up from her bed; she was back in Knight Industries, she never left - it had all been a dream. Sarah sighed, and got out of bed.
