We entered a small room which contained a single chair, a desk and many wires. I sat in the chair and hooked myself up to the wires. Two on my head, one on my wrist and one on my neck. I kept my eyes on Mr Millroom as he went to sit behind the desk. The desk held a mug, papers and a computer that all the wires were hooked to.

"This won't hurt a bit." He assured me and then pressed a button the keyboard.

The next moment I was in an empty room. No, not empty. On the floor there was a body of a young girl. Her body was shaking. I walked over to her and knelt behind her. I rolled her over and she hissed. Her eyes were crimson, her face grey and her hair was red, sticking to her head. She lunged at me, teeth bared, scratching and yelling. My first instinct was to screech back, so that's what I did. I stood over her and bared my teeth. I snarled and she cowered away. I was just about to persue her when I was dragged into another dream.

I was now in a lab. There was a man in a cloak, I couldn't see his face, but he was very tall. I looked around and saw all my friends hanging above an acid tank, and my family were locked in a gas chamber. I glared at the man.

"What do you want?"

"You have a decision to make Miss Brooks." The man replied, I sould hear the smirk in his voice.

"Well, clearly you want me, since you took my family and my friends, so kill me and let them go."

"You trust me to let them go?" The figure seemed shocked.

"Yeah, because you have no reason to kill them."

He pulled out a gun and pointed it at my chest, "Your decision, I will give it to you, you are very loyal." And with that the gun was shot and I was pulled into the final dream.

I sat on my bed, reading, home alone, when I heard a bang. I grabbed the baseball bat from under my bed and tiptoed down the stairs. I heard heavy breathing coming from our kitchen, I tried the door, locked. I kicked it once, twice, three times and it fell to the ground. As soon as I passed the threshold of the kitchen a knife flew past my head. Iscreamed and charged blindly at who ever was in there. I swung the bat and bad contact. The robber cursed under his breath and went to stab me with a... fork? Wow, he was a pretty bad burglar. I swung again and hit his legs behind the knee. He fell to the ground and I pounced on him. I smashed both of his ankels so he couldn't run away then called the police.

With my final dream complete I was pulled back to reality. It felt like it had been so quick, like only a few minutes had passed, bbut when I looked at the clock, I had been under for an hour and a half. I looked at Mr Millroom who was looking at the computer screen. I tried to read his expression but he wasn't giving anything away. After a few minutes he stood and smiled, "you can now go to the Spirit Room."

I walked down to a small room labled Spirit Room and entered. A small lady stood at the far wall. She had a red dress on and long brown hair. She smiled at me and came to shake my hand.

"Congratulations!" She cried, "Now just take a seat in here."

I looked at the menacing machine. It was like a tube, a wire wall split the inside in two. There were two wires in one side of it. I crawled in cautiously and attached the wires to each side of my head. The lady locked me in and flicked a switch. There was a flash of brilliant white light and I sqeezed my eyes shut. When it had gone I looked to the side where the wire was and there, lying next to me, was a wolf pup. The lady came and let the pup and me out.

"This is your spirit, look after him. Now, what are you naming him?" The lady bustled around the room as I sat in a chair.

"Hmm, how about Echo?" I grinned at the grey fur ball at my feet. He barked and jumped on my lap, "I'll take that as a yes. Thanks Miss!" I put Echo into my backpack and ran off to Science to tell the guys about my new friend.
