"Why, brother?"
Silence was his answer.
"Why would you betray us?"
"Because She told me to."
"Doctor, do you have any dreams, any secrets you desperately wish were hidden?"
Dr. Green is startled. This is the first time in the two months since Void had arrived at this facility that she had ever acknowledged he was here. She would always go straight into describing the nightmare she experiences everyday. Looking into her eyes, he is disappointed to see that her eyes hadn't changed, she was still trapped.
Deciding that this is high improvement, he answers, "Yes, I have dreams. Everybody has dreams."
Her smile turns even more dreamy. "I have secrets, not dreams. Dreams do not exist in this shadow world. No, dreams are things of fairy tales. If one were to dream, they would die. Dreams are pure, poison to these creatures battling before me. I'm frozen again, watching the betrayal, the arms holding me in the shadows claw at my skin."
Johnathan quietly sighs, she is going back to describing those imaginary creatures again.
"Doctor, do you believe in monsters?"
Again, Dr. Green is startled. Not by the question but by how she looked at him. She was actually LOOKING at him, her gaze was sharp and solid, not in it's previous far-away haze.
"Monsters are not real, Miss Dean."
She frowns. A shiver runs down his back, Johnathan feels as if he had just answered wrong to a very important question. Suddenly, her eyes become cloudy and her smile returns.
"We shall see."
With a sigh he ends their meeting and has the guards escort her back to her room again. He rubs his temples as a headache started to pound against his skull. It's strange though. While filling in his report her last words kept echoing through his head. We shall see. What did that mean? Is it a warning of some kind? Why does those words fill him with fear? Are they a threat? With a sigh, he finishes his report and leaves the hospital. Opening the iron gate, it gives of a squeal from the cold air. Walking down the sidewalk, he walks up to his car when he pauses. Looking up, the sky is full of stars and the full moon shines its light upon everything making the snow glow. However, he didn't pause to take this in. No, for some reason he could feel the hairs on his neck stand up, a sign of being watched. Turning around, he looks up at the hospital and movement in one of the windows catches his eye. Sharp blue eyes stare at him but what startles him is the unnatural Cheshire smile spread across her face. A whisper echoes through his mind, we shall see. Upon blinking, the figure disappears, as if she was never there. A frown crosses Johnathan's face but he decides to blame stress and goes home.
Johnathan lives in a small one story house by himself. It lay next to a lake which grants a great view for when he looks out the windows. Pulling up into the driveway, he turns the car off and leans back with a sigh. Grabbing his briefcase, he heads inside and towards the study. He lays the briefcase on the desk and hangs the long coat of the coat rack. He moves some of the stacks of books over and opens his laptop. After reading some of the news, he stretches and grabs a quick sandwich from the kitchen before going to bed. As Johnathan was brushing his teeth, a shadow from the corner of his eye catches his attention but when he turned to look, there were no shadows in the room. Johnathan shrugs and finishes his nightly routine. He sits on his bed with a sigh and rubs his eyes.
"Johnathan..." He jerks his head up at the whisper but finds nothing in his room. He shakes his head and lies down to sleep. However, Void's word still echoed through his mind as he entered dream land.
We shall see.
