what walks in the shadows

chapter 14

Reyna

Reyna tossed and turned in her bed. Her dreams kept changing, and when they did they got more confusing. Every time she would get close to solving one dream another would appear. The more she thought about it the more weirder it got. Reyna screamed and fussed all in her head. She could feel herself moving in her bed and sometimes she would jerk herself as if she was falling.

Reyna couldn't remember what had happened only that Aria was back. Reyna still couldn't get why Aria had sent her admirer to his death back in her old school. It was also very tough to believe that it had only been a month since they lit Mantis hair on fire and escaped.

Reyna kept reliving or in this case dreaming about these times and every time it scared her a little more. Was she going mad? Probably and since she couldn't tell any one she just drove herself more mad.

Reyna jerked awake and sat up right in her bed. She whipped her sweat off her forehead and took deep breathes trying to calm her racing heart. Reyna finally calmed down and lay back in her bed. She looked at her roof but the sensation of needing sleep had vanished.

"Reyna. REYNA!" a voice yelled at her in her head.

"Stop! Just Stop, what do you want?" She asked herself

"go outside. Go out side now!" the voice yelled

"fine I'm up." Reyna muttered to herself.

She slipped out of her bed and quietly went out of the dormitory.

"now what?"

"go down the stairs." The voice whispered

Reyna jogged down the stairs. She opened the door and let herself in to a dark corridor.

"good. Good! Now go down the hall and turn to your right." The voice said.

Reyna did as she was told and fallowed the instructions but when she was about to turn right the voice hissed at her again.

"no stupid girl! Your other right!"

"then you mean left." Reyna muttered

"yes what ever. Turn left and go straight till I tell you to stop."

Reyna turned left and ran down the hall. Reyna had been hearing the voice now for what seemed like ages. She would always do what it told her to do, or else she would get plagued with the dreams that were so horrible and so life like.

"stop. Now turn around and take three steps foreword turn to that corridor."

Reyna turned around and took three steps foreword. She looked up form the floor and stared straight into a ghost. She jumped back and yelped. The ghost starred at her. It started to advance on her and Reyna stumbled to the floor to try to get away.

"stop! Foolish girl! Fallow him. do as he says." The voice instructed.

Reyna shivered and got off the ground. She looked at the ghost. It turned around and glided down the hall it stopped at the end of the hall and waited for Reyna. Reyna took a deep breath and ran down the hall to the ghost. The ghost glided to the left corridor and zoomed to the end. Reyna ran after it and fallowed it. The ghost seemed to only take all the left turns

"what is it with this ghost and turning left?" Reyna thought to herself.

The ghost glided and Reyna ran by it's side making sure she did everything the ghost did. The ghost stopped at an entrance to one of the many towers. It floated through the door and opened it for Reyna. It was dark in the tower, more darker than it was in the hall. She watched as the ghost glided up the stairs. Reyna fallowed it this time walking.

It was hard for Reyna to see but she managed. The ghost led her to another door. This time Reyna opened it. Inside or should I say out side, the door lead to the open part of the tower showing all the beautiful twinkling stars.

"you will someday need to escape take this route." The ghost said in practically a whisper

"thanks." Reyna said

" go it will be dawn soon." The ghost said

It flew right into Reyna with it's arms held out as if to grab her. Reyna closed her eyes when she opened them again she was back in her dorm room. Reyna quickly jumped into her bed. And sleep again washed over her.
