That night while the rest of the school slept Alexandra tossed and turned, tears streamed down her face and her whole body shock has she struggled to fight of her nightmare. After a while Her struggle became audible and woke the leaders of the tribe who at first were ready to murder who ever had awoken them but upon seeing the young girl tossing and crying in her sleep decided to do all they could to help.
"Right" Whispered Lucy, determined not to wake anyone else up. "Bianca, go and get Annabelle, Chelsea try to get Alexandra to wake or to calm down, and Zoe go and get the poor girl a glass of water." Everyone parted ways to get there jobs done.
"What are you doing Lucy?" Chelsea asked whilst stroking the side of Alexandra head in and effort to get her to calm down, which seemed to be working has she was now only whimpering slightly.
"Getting the footage of what was said in Miss Fritton's office, Annabelle wants to know what she doing her and it might tell us why she just woke us up with her nightmare." Lucy explained.
After a couple of minutes Annabelle hurried in to the room dressed in her silk pyjamas, she and Lucy exchanged worried glances before she moved to Alexandra's bedside.
"What's going on?" she asked, sounding very concerned whilst kneeling beside Chelsea and examining the shuddering little girl in the bed.
"She was shouting in her sleep and it woke us all up, we realized she was crying and Lucy told us all what to do." Zoe replied has she entered the room and placed the glass of water on the bedside table.
"Bianca, can you carry her to my room for me?" Annabelle asked. "I don't want anyone else being woken by her nightmare and I want to talk to her when she wakes up."
"Sure thing Belle's" Bianca replied scooping the little girl into her arms and making her way to the head girl's room. Annabelle was just about to follow when Lucy stopped her.
"Here's the footage you wanted." She held out the DVD to Annabelle "Maybe it'll tell you why she's having such a bad nightmare." Annabelle nodded, knowing from the look on the head geeks face that whatever was on this tape would tell her what was wrong with Alexandra and if she was reading the head geeks expression right it wasn't good and would possibly explain why the girl had run off in tears after the prank earlier.
The next morning Annabelle had woken up earlier than usual to view the tape and found her self struggling to hold back the tears whilst watching her younger sister telling the head teacher about her mum. Annabelle knew that her sister mother was an Ex head girl and from all the stories she'd read in the school archive's she was a damn good one at that, She also knew what it was like to lose your mother whilst your young and found herself praying that Alexandra would never know how that felt.
"Mummy…" A small voice in the room murmured causing Annabelle to jump out of her skin. Alexandra stretched a little and sat bolt upright when she realized she wasn't in the small dorm bed she had fallen asleep in.
"It's ok" Annabelle smiled has Alexandra jumped at the sound of her voice and gave her a questioning look as if to say 'How did I get her? Why am I here?' "You had a pretty bad nightmare last night and woke some of the girls up. We thought it best that you were moved in here so you didn't wake anyone else."
"I'm sorry…" The small girl groaned has she realized what the nightmare had been about.
"There's no need to apologize Annabelle replied softly moving to sit on the bed with her sister. "I bet I can guess what the nightmare was about… your mum? Right?"
"What do you know about my mum" Alexandra demanded getting very defensive.
