Whatever You Do, Don't Look Back. {On Hold/revising-Do Not Read}

Chapter Fifteen: Travel

I walked out the door, Shadow padding behind me. I walked to the usual meeting place. It was 11:45.

"Okay. You, James, Anna, and Laniey, will be going on this mission. You will get on the train, and get off when you reach Nevada. A car will be waiting outside the station. Make sure to be alert at ALL times. Shadow will be of help." Acherness told me.

"Okay." I replied awkwardly. Shadow and I walked with my duffel bag to James and them.

"Hi! I'm Anna. This is Lainey. " Anna introduced pointing.

"Hi! I'm Ivy." I told. We all walked to the train station with our baggage. Before we left Acherness handed us all train tickets. We boarded the train and slid in a 2 booths parallel to each other. Anna, Shadow, and I sat down next to each other, while Lainey and James sat next to each other. Anna offered me a piece of bubble gum.

"Sure." I responded. I looked out the window for while and then fell asleep.

I was back in the dream about the forest. I was completely alone. I once again walked out of the forest. I knew I would be greeted by the figure again. Just as the thought slipped my mind, a twig snapped behind me. I jerked around backing away from the forest. I saw the figure coming closer. I tried to run, but I was frozen in place. Listen Ivy... the figure rasped. When the blood moon rises, one shall be taken and dead by the 12th day. You must run. Listen to me. Don't try to help. Whatever you do, don't look back. I trembled with fear. The figure left and I stood shivering. A howl erupted from the forest. I bolted. Behind me chased a wolf, it's menacing claws behind me. It was close. I ran far and fast, but then I tripped. I lay down on the grass hopeless. The wolf bared it's teeth and growled. It's teeth were close, saliva dripping from it's mouth. I closed my eyes ready to feel the pain.

"Ivy!" A voice called. Huh? I woke up. I was back on the train.

"You okay? You were shaking in your sleep." James asked.

"What? Oh. Yeah I'm fine." I commented. I sat up. I wondered why Acherness told me to be alert. Oh well. I thought.

"Next stop, Nevada!" Informed the automatic voice.
