what walks in the shadows

chapter 15

Jack

In Jack's dream their was a boy about his age with blonde hair, it was cut short and strands of hair were every where. The boy wore converse sneakers, jeans and a linen shirt. The boy also had many blonde freckles all over his nose and his neck probably went down to his arms but jack could not tell. To jack it appeared as if the boy were out in a field of some sort, probably his or of his family. The boy was farming and farming. The boy looked at jack and walked to him. the boy's expression changed and a smile replaced the frown. The boy waved at someone behind jack and ran right through him. jack stunned about this looked to his hands, to jack they looked solid. Jack turned around to see a girl waving at the boy. She was tan and had lengthy black hair. She wore a long skirt and a linen shirt. Her socks disappeared under her skirt and her shoes like the boy's were converse.

The scene shifted to woods. The two kids were there, they walked around the trees. This time the boy carried a bow and a quiver full of arrows on his back.

The girl had disappeared from view until she reappeared a ways away and motioned for her friend to come. He jogged over to her. The boy starred at something odd and together with the girl's help picked up a dark black oval shaped stone. The stone was larger than a pebble and about a median sized rock. The girl handed the rock to him and he stumbled back with the weight of the stone. The girl picked up a smaller one and a silver one. The two kids had a small conversation and ran.

The dream then again shifted to show a room a lot like his father's throne room. He saw Aria come out of the shadows of the corners while she took off her hood. Jack saw Aria in there as she held a dark red oval just like the stone's the kids had. Aria looked at jack and gave him an evil smile. Aria lifted it above her head. As it started to fall it shinned a bright red light. Aria threw a fit. Then with so much hatred that it made jack jump aria looked straight at him.

Then jack would jolt up and he would be sweating and shivering. Elizabeth would always freak out because she would say that he made a weird strangling sound.

This happened to be the routine for several weeks. The same dream, the same way to wake up in so much alarm that it even woke up Elizabeth. Until one Wednesday.

Jack woke up the same way with the terrifying dream except for the fact that Elizabeth had woken him up a few moments before aria would look at him. he starred at Elizabeth.

"Don't get in to your uniform. Get into something you can run in." Elizabeth said in a hushed whisper.

Jack nodded and Elizabeth disappeared out the door. Jack sat up rubbing the sleep away. He crawled out of bed and walked over to his trunk.

When he opened it the first thing he saw was a black sports T-shirt, with black basketball shorts.

"seriously dad? You couldn't send me with something not black?" jack thought to himself.

When he finished getting dressed he found his converse under his bed and quickly but quietly put them on. Jack brushed his hair with his fingers and walked out of the dorm rooms feeling like a zombie. Hs almost tripped over the last few steps. He opened the door and stepped into the bright corridor. Elizabeth walked out from no were and nodded at him.

She wore black skinny jeans, a green sports shirt and shoes the same color and same kind.

They walked down the hall were jack finally mustered the courage to tell Elizabeth about the dreams he had been having.

"hey Elizabeth," jack said

"yeah?" Elizabeth replied

"I've been having these dreams." Jack started
