Outside the Dome

Chapter 1: Jamie

I see him, his shiny blue eyes follow me when I run. I've known Jason all my life, a very long 20 years. He's so perfectly built, he has abs and big muscles...and his face, oh his face.... his face would make any girl crazy... None of that matters to me, he is so nice and and and loving. All I ever do it's spend time with him. My parents died 14 years ago, they left me all alone, but Jason took care of me. He's the big and handsome brother I never had. I can feel my heart race, THUD THUD THUD THUD. I come to the end of the bridge, Jason's on the other side. He smiles, his beautiful smile melts my heart. Halfway across the bridge, Oh no! It's happening again! I stop, I have no control, my body drops to the floor. It's like slow motion, one second Jason is smiling, the. Next he's running to my side. He tries to control my seizing body. It's always so embarrassing, but he always understands. My visions come on strong, I'm walking in a meadow of green, yellow, white, blue and so many colors I've never seen. Jason is running, I turn and smile and start to run towards him. The sweet daisies brush against my fingers, my hair is flowing in the golden sun. Then he stops, I look around me and there it is again, that creature. It has long claws and razor sharp teeth, the same in every vision. I turn towards Jason and scream at the top of my lungs "Run". Just then my eyes go black and my sight is blurred. My body stops siezing and slowly I'm back to normal. Jason is caressing me in his arms, "What was it this time?" He asks with a sarcastic voice. I look at his eyes, "The same as usual, with that creature thing too" I shake at the thought of it. A small breeze passes us and the scent of pine trees and freshly baked bread. "Here, let's get up" he slowly helps me up onto my feet. As soon as I stand, my ankles give up on me. My knees cave in, but Jason catches me swiftly. For a moment, just a moment we gaze into each other's eyes, but I look away quickly. Jason clears his throat, "We should get home, mom is probably worried". I nod, ever since my parents died Jason's mom Amelia took me in. Jason and I walk past the smiling couples, they're so happy and full of love, I want to be one of those couples.
