I knocked on the door, expecting silence. Instead, Raven's face appeared as the door whooshed open.
"Hi," I said, rubbing the back of my head. "Can I come in?"
Raven just stared blankly at me. "Raven?" I asked, waving a hand in front of her face. She didn't even move. "Are you okay?" She still didn't answer, but stood still as a statue, staring over my shoulder. I glanced behind me. But instead of the familiar hallway, I saw a dingy, red one.
Raven began to run down the hall, her cloak billowing behind her.
"Raven, wait!" I said, trying to catch up with her. She turned a corner and disappeared into the steam.
"Raven, where'd you-" but I didn't finish the sentence. At that moment I heard a faint screeching, like nails on a blackboard. With every second, the eerie sound got closer and closer. I wanted to run, but my legs wouldn't work. I tried shapeshifting, but I couldn't change from my scrawny human form. I closed my eyes, trying to block out the horrible sight and sound and then-
I was in the bay outside of the tower. I couldn't see much, but in the dark, the water looked almost red.
I was sinking. I tried again to morph into a fish, but nothing happened. I was being pulled under the water by an invisible hand. Then, I felt claws tearing at me, cutting through my clothes and into my skin.
As I sank to the bottom, I thought I could hear someone laughing. Then, everything went black.
Sorry this chapter is all dream, but I wanted to work on other dream ideas. Hope you liked this chapter. Please tell me how I'm doing! Bye!
