Chapter Four: Dreamwalking

"Hey Isabel." Liz said as she sat down next to her.

"Hi Liz." Isabel said not looking up from her book.

"We're friends right?" Liz asked.

"What do you want?" Isabel said looking up.

"Ok here's the thing. Maria says that her dreams are just that dreams but I can tell that she's super freaked out by them." Liz said at an unnormal speed. "So…."

"You were wondering if I would dream walk into her dreams." Isabel finished.

"Yes." Liz said. "Would you?"

"Does she know your asking?" Isabel asked.

"No. I don't even think the thought crossed her mind." Liz said.

"Fine." Isabel said then Liz squealed and was about to hug Isabel when she said "But, on the record. I think this is a bad idea." Liz nodded and continued to hug Isabel.

Liz got up to go then turned around and said "And," Then Isabel interrupted her again "Don't tell her. Got it." Liz nodded and continued walking.


Isabel looked through her new yearbook.

I can't believe I'm doing this. I shouldn't be doing this without Maria's permission.

Isabel stopped at Maria's picture.

It's now or never.

Isabel laid down, put her finger on Maria's picture and dozed off.


Isabel looked around to see where she was. She was in a white hallway. The only other person there was Maria. Maria didn't seem to see her so Isabel continued to look for a sign of where she was. She turned her head and saw a map. At the top it said Michigan Regional. Michigan? According to the map they were in the children's ward. Maria turned into a room. Isabel sped up but stopped in front of the room Maria was in. There was a chart in front of the door. The chart said the patient was a little girl, around ten, and she was in for the flu. And her name was…Zoey DeLuca. DeLuca? She turned into the room and saw Maria standing at the foot of the bed. Then the girl began to scream and toss and turn. Maria turned around then this thing appeared in front of her. "Maria no!!!!" The thing grabbed for her neck and began to choke her. The thing seemed to notice her it turned around and hit Isabel across the face. Making her fly across a wall.


Isabel woke up to see Max next to her bed. "What's the matter?" Max asked.

"We may have a problem."
