ROSIE

1. It was a dream or maybe not?

Darkness.
Thats what surrounds me.
Boundless black spread over everywhere and my eyes and my chest feels too heavy.

Voices,
there are few muffled voices. Some strange kind of siren in the background. It sounds in groups of three but i cannot make out it's source or the direction it is coming from.

Fire.
My whole body feels as if it's on fire.
It stings everywhere. And i cannot distinguish what pains coming from my abdomen or legs or arms. I cannot feel my body.

Speaking. Swallowing. Anything
I try but nothing happens. I sm not even aware where my mouth is.

This is wierd. This numbness. And i feel awfully tired . Although i cannot do anything.

Drifting . I find myself drifting away into the darkness somewhere. The voices are more distant now. The pain's a little allievated. I feel lighter but somehow heavier and then ......

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
Beep.beep.beep
That's a annoying sound. Where is it coming from?

Burn. My eyes burn from opening them so suddenly. There's tube around my nose and the three group sound is clearer , it kind of a beep , coning from the monitor attatched to me. My whole body is demanding pain killers right now and my mouth, it feels drier than the sahara desert in there.

I look around , it feels as though i am in a hospital.
Wait what happened? Who am i?
Where are doctors or nurses?

And then it suddenly dawns on me,
I am Rosalyn .And blood there was blood and fire and ...and...
I shudder the screams still resounding and echoing in my ears.
I need to find somebody . I get up inspite of the protests from my body. I need water first.

I find a glass on the side table and down it slowly even though i dying for it right now.

Then i have this eerie feeling that somebody is staring at me. I look around and there's nothing.
I step into the hospital hallway and wierdly enough it is totally empty and silent.

"Hello? Anybody there?"

There is nobody around. That's funny!

And then hear someone running behind me but there's no one.
Maybe I'm just paranoid?

Blake should be here though? Should n't he be? He saved me?

And then I hear Elvis preseley's I can't help falling in love with you in the background.
And my eyes widen . My throat closes. My stomach knots in fear.

It's his...his favorite song.

And that's when i feel it.
His harsh finger print leaving grip on my forearm .
Another mark to add to the indelible one's he'left on my mind.

I shut down.
I feel my words being left up in my throat.
I don't know what to say.
I want to run but somehow, my feet are no longer in my control.
I stand frozen.

In the word's every sense.
Frozen in time. Frozen in place. Frozen with fear.

"I found you ,Rosie" he says.

And that's when the ice falls away. Panic grips me and
I scream
Scream with everything i have.

Panic. Pants. Shaking.
I jolt up in my bed covering my ears, feeling my forearms , frantically looking around the room, screaming.

"He found me. He found me . " i blubber.

Until i feel a shake on my shoulders and my eyes rest on Blake.

My neighbour. He works with the FBI and he's like a big brother to me. He's who saved me.

"Rosalyn, calm down. You are safe. He's not here. He cannot harm you." He says rubbing my back .

"But..but he was here. He got me."

"It was just a dream. It's okay. We'll keep you safe.Let me just get the doctor okay? And here drink some water but small sips."

I nod still shuddering .
And he goes out. I hear him calling for the doctor.
I look around at the side table and there's note

I'll find you Rosie.

I'm one step away from panic.

I look down at my forearm and there are handprints there.

It was a dream?
maybe not?
And then there's darkness again.
