This was a dream. That he knew. It had taken him years to be able to sort out reality from the strange dreams he always seemed to have. But as he walked into the pure white space he was sure this wasn't reality.
His shoes echoed against the indefinite space as he walked. He had no destination as he moved forward. All he knew was that if he kept moving sooner or later something would happen.
Sudden sniffling caught his attention. He looked about wildly, trying to find it's source.
Nothing but white.
The sniffling continued. Loud enough to suggest that it was going from right next to him. Though as he looked around, there was no one. He turned around one last time and there it was. Looking at the ground crying was a skinny teenage boy clutching onto what looked like a broken cell phone.
He stared at the young boy in confusion. Usually when he dreamt of others he always knew who they were. Something in the back of his mind tingled with familiarly as he studied the boys face, his blond wavy hair, his violet-blue eyes. But he couldn't understand why.
It wasn't until he asked for his name that the boy finally looked up at him. He didn't seem surprised at his presence at all, rather, it almost seemed like he was waiting for him. He shook his head slightly, his hair sticking to his wet cheeks.
"Please..." He spoke, but his voice sounded distant, like he was talking through a filler. "Help me...I can't do this by myself..."
The blond looked back down at the ground his crying not calming in the slightest. He followed his gaze but found only white. He must have been looking at something he couldn't see. He decided on asking another question. Why was he crying? The boy didn't say anything. Instead, he bent down and touched the ground with a shaky finger.
Starting from where he touched, the scene began to materialize. White faded away to dark concrete, brick walls, a dark sky. He looked around him. Again he felt familiarly as he glanced about the dark alleyway but like before didn't understand why. He choose to instead focus on the young blond. He followed his gaze once more and his eyes widened when he saw what the teenager was looking at.
It was a body.
Or rather, a silhouette of a body.
For when he looked at it there were no details or colour on the person. He couldn't even tell if it was a he or a she. All he knew was that on the ground was a person who was bleeding. The wound was another thing that he couldn't see clearly, but he could see the bleeding wasn't stopping anytime soon. He looked up at the blond and noticed a third person behind him. It was also a silhouette. Although he couldn't see its face he could tell that it was also looking with worry at the body on the ground. He asked the blond what happened.
"Please...help me," the boy repeated, looking up at him again. "Please...I can't do this alone...I can't...you...
"You're the only one who can help me."
The buzzing of his clock brought him back to the land of the living. He turned off the alarm and groaned. He always felt a bit nauseous when he awoke from dreams like that. The only thing he could do was lay there and wait for it to pass. A few minutes later he trusted himself enough to get up knowing that if he went back to sleep he would be late for work.
He left his bed untidy as be wondered in a daze into the bathroom, his mind back in his dream. It was a bit strange. Usually whenever he had a dream like that he was instantly able to identify the people and places. But this this time...nothing.
He splashed cold water on his face before he looked up at his reflection. Like if he stared at it long it would start giving him the answers. He didn't like mysteries. He liked being able to focus his full attention to whatever he was doing at the time and not be distracted by wondering thoughts.
Releasing a sigh though his nose he pushed the dream to the back of his mind. He would wonder about it later when he wasn't busy. For now, all he needed to worry about was getting ready for work.
Berwald Oxenstierna glanced at his reflection one last time before he exited the bathroom to prepare breakfast.
