Dream Catcher

chapter 4

There he stood. The beast. Sitting on all fours. Right by the pebbles.

I'm dreaming I must be bloody dreaming. Wake up god damn it wake up Erin I screamed at myself.

His eyes. Dark ocean blue eyes. He was gazing at me. For the first time I wasn't scared. I must be dreaming.

I walked over to him. He was wounded. Placing my hands forward to touch him, he bowed obligingly letting me come face to face with him.

"Beautiful" I whispered.
His coat was so soft. Like silk against my skin. He kept his gaze on me as I ran my finger tips delicately along his face. He was so beautiful. So serene. So perfect.

I sat beside him. Keeping my hands firmly on his body. He howled with pain as I came closer to his wound. He was bleeding. The blood all over my hands.

I'm dreaming again. I tryed to scream but no sound came out.

"You have to get up" I begged the beast. "Please get up . . . he will find you. Find us" my voice was low. Afraid. "Please let me help you" I cryed.

He nod his head heading towards the cabin. I couldn't let him stay not alone. He needed my help.

Walking inside I placed him next to the already lite fireplace. His breathing became slow. Was he resting? What was I doing? I'm in the middle of God knows where helping this creature. What if the shadow is out there?

"Erin . . . Erin . . . Erin where are you?" I heard Katelyns voice.

The creature stood up quickly his ears moving, listening to the soft voice of Katelyn.

"Stay here" I calmly said to the creature.

Walking outside there she stood. Right beside the dark pebbles. Her face filled with fear.

"I'm here" I said back.

"You've been gone for hours"

Huh what? Hours I only just got here. Was I still dreaming.

"When you didn't return I thought something had happened"

She came closer towards me. The sun beginning to set. I could see the clouds begin to disappear.

"You said I was gone for hours. . . that's impossible I-I only just got here" I said anxiously.

"You've been gone for three hours what happened?"

Scratching my head. I felt weird. Is this an enchanted forest? Am I being bewitched. This is insane. I'm crazy that's it I've totally lost it now.

"Erin . . what is it?"

"I-I . . I was sure it was real"

"What was?"

"He was wounded"

"Who?"

"The creature?"

"Who the one in your dream?"

"Yes but I-I was following sin and then . . and then he . . I saw him . . I felt him . . his coat . . you think I'm crazy don't you?"

"I don't think your anything Erin . . I think your exhausted . . come let's get you back to the house"

"No he's there inside the cabin . . go look for yourself" I pointed towards the cabin.

"Alright if it means that much"

I followed behind her as we walked inside the cabin.

"See right . . there" Katelyn looked at me with her honey brown eyes. She thinks I'm crazy. I think I'm actually crazy. What the heck is going on.
