That night, after the huge fight was over and everyone was back to being friends, I had a terrible dream. It was about Conner. We were all in the Glade and one day he went into the maze. Suddenly, he came flying out of the maze as fast as he could with a huge and monsterous creature chasing after him. He was almost safe and away from it, but it was too late. He was killed.
"Bree! Save me!" he screamed and he fell to his knees. I was too frozen to move. I watched my brother die and didn't even try to help. He died right there in front of me.
"Conner! I'm sorry! Conner! No please get up! Please!" I scream as Thomas pulls me away. I kick and scream but can't get out of his grip. Then I wake up and I'm wet with sweat and am crying hysterically. I felt someones arms reach across my shoulders and embrace me. It was Alex. She rocked back and forth.
"Bree. It's okay. Calm down. Take a deep breath." she said while hugging me. I can hardly breathe. Why am I so worried about him? "Bree, what did you dream about? It's like you watched someone get killed in front of you!" she said while brushing the hair out of my face. I take a deep breath and look down at Thomas, who fell asleep beside me.
"Alex. I need to tell you something, but I don't want anyone else to know yet, okay?" I whisper while still looking at Thomas. I turn to Alex.
"Okay. What is it?" she asked while leaning closer to me. I'm nervous to tell her.
"I remember something about our earlier life, Alex. Something really big. I don't know why but I keep having dreams about it, nightmares even. And during the day I feel like he is right here with us." I begin while tearing up.
"Wait, who is this He person you're talking about?" she asked while getting a little closer.
"Alex, we have a brother. His name is Conner and I have the same dream almost every two nights about him showing up here in the Glade and then he gets killed right in front of me. I remember things about our parents and when we were all a family, but I don't remember when we ended up here. I'm scared, Alex. I don't know what's going on!" I say while taking a deep breath.
"Bree? What's wrong? Why are you scared?" I hear a sleepy voice ask. Thomas.
"Oh, I um, I had a nightmare. I feel better now though." I say while nervously looking from Alex to Thomas. I hope he didn't hear everything. I'm getting scared now.
"Oh. Well lay back down and go to sleep. You were keeping me warm!" he said while laughing and laying back down. I look at Alex.
"Goodnight again." she said while laying down.
"Goodnight, Alex." I say while laying back down beside Thomas. He wrapped his arm around me and we fell back into a deep sleep. Then I have another dream, but this time, It's about Thomas....
