After being saved by a fox, I walked home and fell asleep.
But something kept bothering me...
I swear I heard it say something... Even if it was just one word...
Like maybe "welcome" as in shortening 'your welcome' before it ran.
Maybe I'm just going insane.
My nightmares get worse every night.
I'm always being chased by something big... Something scary. But I'm a child, and I'm running next to another little boy. I think he's a meif'wa or something 'cause he's not human and I see his ears but I never see his tail. I always tell him
"Go! Run! Your faster than me, don't do this!"
But he keeps his head down and smiles at me.
"Its what must be done, Travis."
And he trips on something, falling to the ground. The monster grabs him and bites him, he screams and cries, then goes limp and falls out of the monster's claws.
I always run to him. I cradle him in my grasp as the monster leaves and some adults show up.
"Don't leave me..."
I always say.
But what rattles me the most is that once I say that, the adults become taller, darker.
And the boy in my arms opens his eyes and says
"this is your fault Travis."
I have the same dream every night, and I've started to get used to its pain.
But tonight it was different. This time once I look back down at him, he's gone. And the black fox is staring at me from the woods. All of them crowd around me yelling
"You shouldn't have come"
"Go back to the city"
"We don't want you here"
But the fox is silent.
All of a sudden, it stands.
Its about my height but a little shorter.
Its... A man. Its shadowed and all I can see is its eyes but I know its a man.
He whispers to me
"Travis... Save me."
"The wolves are hunting me for helping you"
He puts his hand up to the shadow like its glass separating us.
The monster that was chasing me walked up behind him.
"Travis... Help me. Please."
I pound on the blackness and try to get through but it doesn't budge.
I yell out a name...
"No! Zane no!"
Zane? Who is Zane?
Is that the fox's name?
I contemplate my dreams over and over. But I never find out why that name is always on my mind.
Why the name seems to fit that fox so well.
Why the boy from my dreams seems so familiar, yet so foreign.
I decided to go for a run.
Maybe while I'm out here I'll see him.
I ran faster, harder.
"Zane!"
I screamed into the woods.
Oh who am I kidding.
Zane is just a name.
It can't be the fox's name.
Its a wild fox!
Not a pet!
But...
Is he an animagus?
Like in harry potter?
Ugh....
I'm such a nerd.
I sat down on a fallen tree and tried to regain my breath.
My head was spinning and I couldn't breath.
Everything started to go black.
But... I run all the time! I thought I grew out of my Asthma!
"Zane!"
Please... Zane....
Someone...
Help me
