The river is dark almost black with white ripples going through it as the brown boat sails down it. I can’t feel my hands or feet and I’m shivering when the boat stops on the bank of a forest. Its black I can only faintly see shapes, the moon is hidden behind grey clouds of the night. My eyes fall upon a figure, a woman, there is a man as well. The woman is slim but that’s all I can make out, I here words but it’s all mumble. The woman has a weapon an axe I think, it all goes to fast for me to comprehend but all I know is now I am running and so is the woman but in the other direction. I find myself at the man blood around his neck where his head is meant to be placed, it’s my dad.
My eyes open as I gasp in pain; my hands are shaking so much I can hardly feel them. My clothes are wet and I can feel arms wrapped around me while someone keeps on saying “Don’t worry it’s just a dream.” Over and over again, realising who it is I cry in his arms. Xavier’s voice is shaky and I can tell he is scared for me.
After a while I finally stopped crying and my hands stopped shaking, only to leave me still scared in Xavier’s arms. I look up into his eyes and he looks back into mine.
“What happened this time?” He asks
I can’t talk, tears just swell up in my eyes and I burry my head into his shirt. I don’t know what to do or what to say.
He doesn’t say a word, just picks me up and carries me to the car. I’m not sure where I am going or why we are driving away from his house but I am so scared I don’t even care. So I just sit and look out the window, the trees rushing by with the light of the new sun rising up behind them. I look over to Xavier and a tear runs down the side of his face. As the sun rises up I know that this is going to be a long trip.
We pull up in a town I have never been to before, Xavier gets out and carries me into a little shop I think it was called ‘Dreams me more or less’ great name. We walk into a room and as Xavier places me onto a long red chair, I see and old women sitting behind a desk not saying a word just watching.
“Hello sweet-heart, I’m guessing you are Xavier and that is Blair.” Her voice was all old and crinkly.
I looked up at Xavier and he just nodded. What is going on?
“Well let’s get started, hello dear my name is Madam Jenna and I am here to help you about your funny dreams you have been having. Xavier called me yesterday and sounded very worried so why don’t you tell me a little bit about them.”
I understand now, everything makes sense. After Xavier saw me yesterday he called Madam Jenna and booked an appointment for me. I looked back up to Xavier and he nodded so I told her about everything. About how the dreams feel so real and how they always have my dad or sister dying, never my mum. I told her how my dad died from an animal attack in the forest and how much it hurt my whole family. I told her every detail about the dreams I had had and all she did was nod and scribbled down things on a piece of paper.
After I had finished no one said a word, Xavier was just staring at the floor and Madam Jenna was studding the things she scribbled down in her notebook.
“Darling this is something I have never heard of before,” she paused thinking about what to say next, “these dreams are all mixed up, I think someone may be trying to send you a message.”
Her words didn’t sink in for a little while, a message what does she mean a message? A message about what, my dad? She looked over at Xavier and continued to talk.
“Here you go darling; this will protect you from the dreams.” She handed me a dream catcher and Xavier handed her some money than we left.
The trip home was very long and quiet. The clock said it was 6am which for me is extremely early but it didn’t matter because my brain was just spinning what is going on in my life?
