I gasped out as I shot out of bed again, cold sweat drenching my skin as I looked around my room.

I sighed and held my head.

That same fucking nightmare......

I looked back up and looked at the time.

7:47 AM

Same as last time.... Why is this happening to me???

These past few nights, I kept having the same nightmare over and over again, sometimes even more cryptic than the last.

This time, I see more than before.

A city in the sky. My locket. A spear coming out of what looked like my own body. A vial full of blood. An strange alley. A beach. A photo slide. A piano.

And then a familiar woman's voice saying 'Save her...' before I wake up.

I would find myself talking to Aldous about it, but he didn't seem to have a clue to what it could mean.

Something told me he did know something... But maybe its the dreams making me paranoid....

Nonetheless, spending time with him has helped me a lot. He's so kind, caring and gentle, and I feel safe and happy with him.

I've managed to spend some more time with him now after Trevor told me he was gonna be out for another week, so I was more than relieved.

Its also given me time to also consider taking the chance that he's gone to leave him....

I'm scared, since he has connections, so that means I would have to probably leave town.... I would have to hide.....

I then felt the familiar itch on my wrists and thighs and gulped.

I shouldn't.... But.... I can't help it......

I slowly stood up and walked to the bathroom, looking in the cabinet.

Once I find the little box I was looking for, I opened it and pulled out a silver blade.

I'm sorry....

"God, another one?" Janis spoke, pulling me from my work table.

I looked up and saw her reading the newspapers.

My arms hurt.... Why do I have to have this stupid habit?

"Another what?" I asked curiously.

"Another body," she said.

I furrowed my brows as she handed me the newspaper.

ANOTHER DRAINED BODY FOUND IN JEFFERSON COUNTY

"That's the sixth one this week," I said in shock.

"Not like its a problem," Tania said. "Whoever this serial killer is, he's only killing really bad people."

"You think its a serial killer?" I asked.

"I mean, more than 3 bodies? FBI's already investigating it, how wouldn't it be a serial killer?" Tania shrugged. "Plus its not like Seattle hasn't spawned serial killers before. We had Bundy, and Green River Killer."
