(Sophia POV)
I stood in a large open field. Tall grass sways lightly in the wind. All I can see around me is a large tree. It's looks kind of like a willow...but the bark is many colors and the leaves are whitewash and so thin you can see through them.
I walk to the tree, it was beautiful. I reach up and pluck a few leaves. So delicate. The air smelled sweet and the grass was very soft. I walk to the base of the tree and trace the lines and knots in the tree.
I stop, one knot was different than the rest... It was black. Blacker than my eyes could comprehend. I tap the blackness it almost sounded hollow.
At I inspect it, it begins to morf and change, it now looks like a face. A face I've seen before, but I can't quite remember who it is.
"Pay for what you have done,
Pay for me it will be fun,
Pay with him,
His life will do,
Pay with him or I will take you."
The tree says a take a step away. But if seems to follow me. Two more steps. It's just getting closer. The sky turns dark and the once soft grass under me turns to black sand.
"PAY! Pay!" The face screams.
I start to sink in the sand. As I sink to my torso, I try to fly out but all I do is sink deeper. Sinking lower, my limbs don't want to move, my eyes stuck wine open, I gasp for air and all goes black my head submerging.
As I float it black notingness all I here is someone calling my name.
"sophia.... Sophia... SOPHIA!"
I wake up drenched in a cold sweat, gasping for air, tears rolling down my cheeks.
"Are you ok?! You where crying, and you stopped breathing for a minute!" Freed says his hands on my shoulders a hint of fear in his eyes. I rap my arms around him, and try to muffle my sobs.
"Thank you. thank you. thank you!" I mumble while hugging him.
"Wha... What happened?" He asks his arms resting on my back.
"I... I had a dream... A face... I-it kept saying I had to pay... I... I don't know who is was but i knew it... I..." The color from my face drained as I spoke. Is he real? What if he come after me? Can I protect myself?
"It's ok... I... I won't let them hurt you..." Freed said blushing. He pulls me into a tighter hug and rests his head on mine. Am I dreaming again? He was being so cold and distant just this morning...
Never the less I sigh and melt into the hug it felt safe. He made me feel safe. I didn't feel so alone.
