Dreams Awakened

Chapter 3 - This Can't Be Happening

   I leave my last class of the day,English, and walk to my locker. I take what I need and then find Matt waiting for me in his truck.

  "So, I have to go to work. Do you want to come or go home?" Matt asked. Oh yeah, he works at the Mystic Grill in town.

  "I'll just go with you." I shrug. He nods and starts driving.

  "I've been meaning to ask you. Where did you get that scarf?" I look down at the black scarf around my neck.

  "I found it in my locker. I thought it was pretty." I lie and Matt nods as he pulls up in front of the grill.

  I follow Matt out of the truck and into the building. He instructs me to sit down while he works, so I sit at a table somewhere in the middle.

  I sit in silence twiddling my fingers. Then footsteps stopped behind me. I turn in my chair to see...Steven R McQueen!

  "You must be Megan." He said and I notice his work uniform.

  "That's me, you must be Jeremy." I said.

  "Yeah, so can I get you anything?"

  "A coffee would be great, thank you." I smile and Jeremy returns it before he walks away.

  I catch an eye before I turn back around. Tyler. He smirks at me and then winks. I just smile back, you don't want enemies in this town. I mean dream.

  Mystic Falls can be a crazy, dangerous place. Filled with some weird people and some amazing supernaturals. You never want enemies, especially in my dreams. You never know what my mind might think of next.

  One time I got eaten by a lion because I lied to Shakespeare. Don't ask, its a long story.

  "Ahh, Ms.Pierce, I've been waiting for you." Damon said. Wow, thanks Stefan for telling him. I mentally roll my eyes.

  "Mr.Salvatore. Here for a drink?" I ask.

  "Of course. Let's go to the back." He said and I follow him. We walk out into the back alley. No one in sight so he can drink as much as he wants.

  As if on cue, Damon wraps his hands around my head. He tilts my head as I remove the scarf, revealing the mark made earlier. I feel the instant pinch and then soothing feeling again.

  I yell in pain as Damon gets ripped away from me. I look to see who the person is and who other than...Arielle Kabbel. Lexi! Mrs.Rehab!

  "Really, Miranda's back!" She rolls her eyes at me.

  "Its not Miranda. Her name is Megan Pierce. And, Lexi, if you touch her I'm gonna rip your heart out." Damon threatened.

  "Allow me." The words came as quickly as my actions.

  I plunge my hand into Lexi's chest, find her heart, and rip it out. I drop it and her body crumples just as her heart hits the ground.

  Couldn't have done it better myself." Damon smiled before he kisses my forehead. "I'll take care of the body, go back inside and I'll find you later." He added and I nod.

  I grab the scarf from the ground before walking back inside without another word or glance. I sit down and seconds later Jeremy comes over with my coffee. I thank him and he smiles at me.

  Jeremy walks off and I spend the next couple hours tapping my fingers. So bored, can I wake up now? This is the longest dream I've ever had and the most detailed. Like seriously!

  The coffee had a weird taste to it. I can't really put my finger on it. But it kinda reminded me of copper. Yes, I know what copper taste like. I accidently swallowed a penny when I was 4.
