Trapped

Meaning

"What do you think it all means? I mean it's all connected it means something." Eli said reading one of the articles about a preseason football game.

"We don't know." I sighed as I began changing Grey's bandages. "We'll figure it our though. Maybe we can get out if we figure it all out."

"You need to drink." Klarissa said handing me a bottle of water. "And sleep we all need sleep." She huffed leaning back against the wall.

"She's right Grey is passed out and you didn't sleep last night." Cole said as I sipped my water.

"You see still not sleeping?" Eli asked standing straight looking at me with worried eyes.

"I slept." I said looking at Cole. He had his head to the side glaring at me knowingly. "Some. I slept some."

"Sleep you'll get us killed." Bayla said patting my shoulder as she walked to her room, Eli followed close behind her.

"Go I'll stay with him." Klarissa said doing our handshake lazily ending it with a hug.

"Tell me if he gets worse. Okay?"

"Okay." She said as Cole and I exited.

"Lay down." Cole ordered as we entered my mother's classroom.

"I won't be able to sle..."

"Lay down." He said again crawling into our pile of blankets and pillows The Keeper has left us.

"Cole."

"You haven't slept in days. Now lay down or I'll wrestle you to the ground."

"Fine." I groaned laying down.

"Good you're all bruised and cut up that wouldn't have been fun." He said wrapping me in his arms.

I was sitting in a room full of people and they where all writing on papers that where full. They all stopped and turned to me and began screaming....... again. I looked forward as they turned to the front of the room it was a classroom. In the front people stood in a line like stone walls turned away from us. They to started screaming louder higher but violently like that's all they could do. Then they turned six of them of the ten turned their faces are hollow streams screaming into the void. Now, I am screaming and they're coming close. I'm getting louder and I'm shaking. I jump from the desk to my feet and...

"Wake up you're doing it again." Cole said shaking me yelling. "Alana. Alana stop screaming." He said standing me from my sitting position.

"No.no.no!" I said pushing him back as the other entered the room.

"Alana stop you're okay." Cole said pulling me into his chest as my body while from my crying.

"No." I choked out as he picked me up.

"What's going on?" Eli asked stepping closer.

"Nightmares she keeps having nightmares." Cole said sinking against the wall as I continued to cry.

"This is why she hasn't slept?" Klarissa asked standing in the doorway.

"Every night she does this. This is the worst one yet." He said rocking me as he kissed my hair.

"She's dehydrated and she hasn't slept." Bayla said handing Cole my water.

"Hey." He coed. "Drink this." He pushed my hair away from my face but it clung to my wet cheeks. "You'll be okay."

"Now we're down by two." Bayla groaned sitting next to us.

"Sorry." I said pushing my hair back before taking a drink.

"No it's okay we need a break anyway. We've been here a while." She said patting my shoulder as she sighed.

"Try to sleep again. Just relax. We all need to relax." Klarissa said holding my hand. "Do you want me to stay?"

"No go be with Grey he's probably worried." I said squeezing her hand gently.

"Alright." She gave a small smile and left. The others skilled and waved following her out.

"Do you want to try again?" Cole asked looking into my eyes.

"Yeah but can we just stay still for a bit?" I asked resting my head on his chest.

"Yeah, yeah we can." He said putting his chin on my head.
