Fifteen years after BnR, Claire and Skye have a happy family life. Claire is disturbed by strange, prophetic dreams, which eventually lead straight back to Skye's Moon-family. Will they be able to solve this problem before more victims are claimed?
I won the
Veggie fest! Mwahahaha! It took me near seventeen years but I finally
did it!
Ironically, with last
years pineapple. But I don't think I should tell Vesta that… the
woman's scary enough as it is! I mean, she took her defeat okay,
since I'm the only other 'serious' farmer, but still…
Being told your
freshest of the fresh veggies lost to last years fruits would
definitely be a painful blow. Probably to my back, all things
considered. Vesta is not known for her temper control.
Though I'll admit
she has gotten better about it. I don't think Marlin would let her
hang around his kids if she couldn't control herself, sister or
not. So she's got some, but not really a lot.
Hah… None of us are
very good at losing, though I seem to do it the most often. Though I
did manage to win big where it matters the most…
My dreams are getting
odder. I was holding a knife in the last one, only it was a
knife that any normal person would recognize. It almost… seemed to
be made of glass. But not.
It's hard to
describe, even in my dreams…
I'm not me
anymore, that much I know. So whatever is happening it's not me
that's doing this. It almost feels like Skye, but it's not him
either, and I know that for certain cause I still see him in
the dreams.
Hmm…
The knife, it's…
not decorative, it's made for killing. Killing someone important
too, I know that much. But I can't see who's being killed or
who's doing the killing, just the knife and a whole lot of red.
It's… frightening.
Like the one dealing the death is doing it for a bigger, more
important reason than just this first kill. This first kill is just
a… a stepping stone to a later, more important kill.
One that will earn
prestige and honor, as long as the killing can be pinned to someone
else.
It's scary to
have thoughts like that, when I have a hard time killing livestock
for food. It's how I know that it's not me who's doing
this. I could never… I have almost too much reverence for life and
living.
I… I think I should
tell Skye about these soon. The intensity of them is… there's not
a word strong enough for it. It's more than terror, more than
anything I've ever felt. I want it to stop! I want my dreams
to be oddly vivid but full of random, harmless images again, like
they're supposed to be.
I want to be able to
relax into sleep and not wonder if I'm going to wake with blood on
my hands…
It's that pushing
feeling again too… Whatever my dreams are trying to tell me about,
it's going to happen here soon, and it'll have
repercussions that are felt all the way here on Earth.
I've finished all
but Melissa's dress, and that's in its final stages as well… I
hope that whatever happens it turns out to be nothing and passes me
by. I don't want to be responsible for trying to change the world.
