Rose Garden: Rose of Grace

Chapter 4

 The picture above is what her mysterious appearing tattoo is. It's smaller however because she is a lady.

 --------------------------------------------------------------

When Grace woke up her sister was sitting at the side of her bed.

"Hey Sissy. We're back from school. There's some guys here that are asking for you. They seem... Suspicious."

"Alright. Thanks Mer." Grace got up and stretched. When she looked at her arm, there was tattoo that had not been there before. It looked similar to something she had seen. Maybe in a movie?

"Whoa, cool tattoo, where did you get it?"

"I ... don't know." Grace went to her closet and put on a sweater before heading out to the living room where sure enough two men in black suits sat on the couch. "Can I help you?"

One man looked her over then stood up.

"Miss Mahariel, I take it?"

"Yes, what do you need?"

"It's not what we need, but what you need."

"Excuse me?" She crossed her arms.

"We've been looking into cases like yours. These vivid night terrors. You are not the only one."

"How did you know about those?"

"Like I said, we've been looking into the cases. There are few people with your gift. We would like you to come with us and look further into them. We might even be able to stop them."

"Really?... I don't know about that."

"Let me be very clear, you will come with us, or many, including yourself will die. We cannot protect you if you do not come with us."

Grace frowned.

"You won't hurt them. My family I mean."

"No, If you come they will be safe."

The other man stood up and headed to the door.

"Just because I'm curious, I'll go. And I want to get rid of these dreams..." Grace wrote a note for her family then followed them out to their SUV and got in when one agent opened the door.

After hours of driving they arrived at a large glass building. It looked like a regular office building, but still made Grace grew more and more suspicious as time passed. They led her inside and it looked larger and way more populated than she thought it would have been.

"What is this place?" She asked watching doctors and scientists passing through the halls.

"We call it 'Thedas Delta' People who are similar to you are living here so we can study and try to solve this mysterious phenomenon." The man opened a door leading to a comfortable looking room. "Please rest in here, we will do a short test and find out how serious your condition is."

"Right..." Grace laid on the bed and closed her eyes. The men left the room and closed the door. After she relaxed, she fell asleep. A scientist came into the room and set up a machine besides the bed. He connected wires to her temples from  a monitor so they could see what she saw in their monitoring room. Once it was all set up he left to join the other observers.
