Sleepless nights, were a constant reoccurrence for Christine Edwards. Her mother had taken her to many doctors over the past few months but the sleepless nights were a constant thing. Her mother had assumed she had Insomnia but the pure lack of sleep was too much even for an insomniac. 

Sometimes the seven year old wouldn't sleep for over a week, her body ill, weak and tired from the lack of rest. She was so tired, it was too much for her small body to handle, her mother had tried everything she could think of, everything the doctors would provide for a girl of Christine's age. But nothing worked. 

Erin Edwards felt nothing but guilt and sadness for her daughter she was in such a bad state, until she wasn't.

Erin Edwards had stayed up late tonight, she usually did especially when she knew her daughter was in a bad state with her lack of sleep. She had been so zoned out downstairs that she almost shot through when she realised five hours had passed since she had last seen her daughter.

Usually Christine was up and down the stairs, she would be trying to entertain herself or she would be upset that she was unable to rest. But she was no where in sight and Erin was worried, she quickly made her way upstairs and into her daughters room, only to be met with a relieving and shocking sight.

Her baby was asleep, after almost a week Christine's body had finally given in and she was sleeping. Erin let out a sigh of relief and a single tear drop rolled down her cheek, she could have a bit of peace knowing her daughter was going to be okay for a while.

She tucked her in the covers, turned the night light on in her room and quietly left her daughter to sleep and hopefully have a good dream, Which Truth be told Christine was unsure what dream she was having.

The girl found herself in a flowery field, there was a swing set, a bench and a blanket laid on the grass. Christine had never had a dream like this ever, in-fact she couldn't remember the last time her body had even allowed her to have a dream. 

But this one was strange and new to her, but it was awfully peaceful. She walked towards the swing set before sitting down onto it, giving it a small push as she began to slowly swing. She had been swinging for a while, she wasn't sure how long now she couldn't really count really well yet.

She was knocked out of the trance she was in by a random voice, she looked up only to lock eyes with a man. He looked quite shocked to be there, he rose his eyebrow at the child, confused why she was in his dream.

"Hello there" he greeted the child, who just stared at him in confusion.

"Hello?" she greeted back confused.
