I woke up from the nightmare the next day layered in a coat of freezing cold sweat. Even though my vision was blurry, I could clearly see a person in a white dress stood at the foot of my bed. I rubbed my eyes and sat up, I could now recognise the person, it was one of the girls I saw walking up the ward yesterday.

"Who are you?" I asked,
"My name's Kelsey, I think, I can't remember much anymore."
"Oh, my name's Violet."

Kelsey was (I'm guessing before she came here) very pretty, but all of the colour had drained from her face and she was relatively thin. She had very long dark brown hair, much like the other girls, but Kelsey's hair was a lot longer than everyone else's.

"So, why are you in here?" Kelsey asked me, gazing into my muddy brown eyes.
"I have this nightmare, every night, about... a lady..."
"What's wrong with that?"
"She wears a white dress, like ours... and..."
"And what?"
"She tries to kill me."

Kelsey's face had now gone grey, even more grey than she already was, her eyes were wide and her lips were clamped shut.

"What?" I asked,
"It's just..."
"Just what?"
"I have the exact same dream..."
