Istarted walking, my feet carried deeper into the cave without my permission, like a nightmare you can’t control
I suddenly fell down a steep bottomless pit in the ground
I felt like screaming but I couldn’t, I wondered if this was a nightmare
I landed on my feet without any pain, and decided this was a nightmare
I started walking again, and a far off light made my feet push faster
When I finally got to the light, I found that it wasn’t the end of the cave, it was a gruesome sight, I watched as kids probably my age –and a few younger than that- were beaten, I looked at a small pile of three children on the floor, dead
Tears ran down my cheeks as I looked at the sight
I watched as a boy raised a whip to strike another boy, he slashed him in the back as the boy cried out in pain
I looked over at a small girl, sitting with her knees up to her chest, she had this strange orange-ish hair, with black streaks like stripes, and she had these big golden eyes that seemed to glow
The resemblance to her brother was like they were twins, this was Drakes sister, she seemed to be about sixteen, and her hair had grown allot
I took a step toward her, and suddenly I was back at the sanctuary
I awoke with a start; Drake had me in his arms, tears in his eyes
My heart was racing and my breathing was hard
“Jenna? Oh thank God” he said in relief
I looked around, everyone had crowded around, worried looks on all of their faces “where am I?” I whispered
Drake helped me up and sat me in a chair, making sure I wouldn’t fall over
“We’re still on the lunch deck” he said
I rubbed my forehead for a second, then the memory of his sister came back and I gasped “Drake! I had a dream…or a vision…or something, but I was in this horrible place, and there were children who were my age and younger, some were torturing others, three children, no older than fourteen lay dead on the floor and I saw her! I saw your sister, she is alive! I know it!” I told him
He stared at me for a long time before he answered “you…had a…vision of this?” he asked me, a tiny glint of hope in his eyes
shook my head slowly “I don’t know what it was, but one minute I was here, and the next I wasn’t” I told him
He gently grabbed my arm and pulled me up, leading me down the hall
We walked to a couple of doors that were big and wooden
He knocked on the door and Maria answered
“Hello Drake, Jenna, what are you two doing here?” she asked us both.
“We need to speak with Laurence” Drake informed her
She let us in to what I guessed was their room
Laurence was sitting at a desk, reading a large book
“oh, hello Jenna, Drake” Laurence greeted us with a confused smile
“Laurence, can I speak to you privately for a second?” Drake asked him
Laurence nodded and walked back into the hall with Drake
