The next couple of days I spend talking to everyone in the Glade, trying to recognize one of them as the boy from the other night by hearing their voices. Unfortunately none of them seem to match. He must have talked differently when he was talking to me, so that I wouldn't recognize him. I have decided to call him Shadow for now. It's dinner time and right now I am talking to Newt, Winston, Zart, and Minho about Shadow.
"Have you even considered the possibility that you just imagined him?" Minho asks.
I glare at him. "I'm not crazy."
"I never said you were. It's just that you seem pretty worked up over this dream, maybe you just imagined a person so that you could talk to someone about it."
"No. There was someone there. I know it." I say as I stand up and walk into the Homestead. When I get to my bed I lay down and close my eyes. It doesn't take long for me to drift off into an almost peaceful sleep.
I am standing outside the Slammer. When I look into it I see someone with long black hair, sitting with their head down. Suddenly the person lifts their head up and looks at me. It's a girl. There is another girl in the Glade. She is very beautiful with fair skin, black hair, and striking blue eyes.
"What are you doing here?" She snaps at me.
I take a step back and say, "I-i don't know." Then I turn to leave, but as I do the scene fades away.
Now I am in the Deadheads next to the Graveyard. I see a guy who I recognize as one of the Builders. He is attacking someone I don't recognize. I am about to do something when I hear Alby yell at him. Alby has his bow and arrow aimed at the Builder. The Glader starts ranting on and on about some guy named Thomas being evil. Alby keeps warning him, telling him to slim it. In the end Alby has no choice, but to shoot. I watch as the arrow buries itself in the poor shanks cheek and then the world fades to nothing.
I sit up in my bed and have to bite my lip to keep myself from crying out. I take a deep breath and grab my shoes before running out of the Homestead and into the Deadheads again. I climb the same tree as last time and hug my legs close to me as I sit. Looking at the Graveyard below, I am trying to stop the constant reply of Alby killing that Builder. I close my eyes and let one silent tear run down my fave as I bury my head in my knees.
"What's got you so upset?" I hear Shadow's voice say from the base of the tree.
"Who are you?" I ask in a soft, shaky voice.
"That's not important. Why are you sad?"
Should I even be talking to this guy? What if he is just some creepy stalker Glader? Or what if Minho is right and he is just a figment of my imagination? I could be talking to myself right now. At least I am talking about it though. If I didn't then these dreams would drive me mad. Maybe it's a good thing I don't know who he is. I can talk to him without feeling judged.
"I had another dream." I finally tell him.
"What happened in this one?"
"The first part had a girl in it. A beautiful girl. But that's crazy right? There's never been a girl in the Glade. Well... Besides me of course."
"Okay. What about the second part?"
"There was a Builder... He was attacking someone and Alby was telling him to stop. He kept rambling on about someone named Thomas. Is there a Glader named Thomas?"
"I don't think so."
"Okay. Well in the end Alby had to shoot the Builder with his bow and arrow. That's where the dream ended."
"Alby killed someone?"
I nod before realizing that he probably didn't see it. "Yeah." I tell him.
"You shouldn't worry about it too much. It was just a dream."
"Right..." I say as I see the sun beginning to rise. As light fills the Glade I look down to see Shadow, but I was too late. He was already gone. I jump out of the tree and run to the Homestead. When I come out of the Deadheads I see Minho jogging to the Doors that are about to open.
"Hey Minho!"
He turns to look at me. "What's up Greenie?"
"Did you see anyone come out of the Deadheads a minute ago?"
"No, I don't think so. Why? You looking for someone?"
"Yeah. I just talked to Shadow and now he is gone again."
"I'm telling you Greenie, you're just imagining him." Minho says and he ruffles my hair. I push he hand away and notice the Doors beginning to open.
"Yeah, yeah. You gotta go."
He laughs. "See you tonight Greenie."
AN: Oooh! Who could Shadow possibly be? *eyebrow wiggle* If you people could have any idea of who he is or should be please comment it!
