Chapter 4:
(Harrison's POV)
The burn on my hand from earlier was still sore. I stupidly put my hand on a hot metal bar that's been in the sunlight since it's first been put in place. I didn't realise how hot it would be until I put it down. It was getting late and I could see everyone around the table in the bar was beginning to flag, it was when I saw Alex lean on Kari's shoulder closing her eyes I knew everyone had had enough for the night. After yawning myself trying to keep my eyes awake, I took the last jug of my beer before I spoke.
"Come on guys, let get going back." I mentioned, Evan nodding telling me he agreed. We both stood up getting ready to go when we noticed that there was no movement from the girls. The hot heat in India was really effecting me and making me feel even more tired than I already was. I was glad that we were setting of tomorrow, or should I say today for Thailand. But from the look of the girls, the hangover would at least last that long.
"Are you two going to move at any point?" I asked jokingly feeling the glares from Kari.
"God you're such a party pooper." Kari stated quickly taking the last sip of her beer as Alex's head shot up waking up a little.
"I'll get her." I heard Evan's voice state walking towards a very drunk Alex who was flapping all around the place. I made my way towards Kari knowing that she was going to loose her balance at any minute. I I managed to grab her arm before she nearly went down to the ground, holding her level just about. I yawned again ready for this night to be over with.

Leaning up in a rush, I took a deep breath. The feeling was like I had been when I awoke from my dream before, a loss of breath and a major confusion.
"Okay this is weird." I commented standing up recognising the building straight away as my eyes fell upon the room. It was the same dream as the night before. Same building, same outfit, same feeling. I don't have reoccurring dreams so this is freaking me out.
"Tell me about it." I heard the familiar female voice call out from the unknown. Her voice was higher up than I thought so when I looked up, I found her leaning gracefully on the balcony over watching me scramble my way around to my senses. Her hair flowed over the bar as her smile filled up the sunset light.
"Hello again stranger." I said grinning stupidly. The dream is affecting my feelings, its affecting me somehow because I don't smile like that.
"It's weird to see you in my dreams again." She laughed watching me trying to find my way around to reach her.
"I'm in your dreams? I think you've got it the wrong way round." I mentioned finding the stair case. She was leaning on her lip on the banister as I stared up at her figure. My dreams certainly can conquer up a beauty.
"Okay then." She said, her accent flowing through her words like the roots of a tree. With each step I took, a deeper pull towards her was yanking me up the steps. It was a slow feeling but the closer I got to her, my body was hooked and I couldn't pull away. What was going on with me? This dream is too heavy for me to cope.
"How is this possible that we are here?" I asked out of curiosity.
"I have no idea. After you left or whatever happened last time, I woke up and then fell back asleep and came here again." She explained.
"Well whatever the reason, I'm actually glad to be here." I surprisingly sprung out. I reached her level and felt the connection bring our bodies so close that it would be uncomfortable in different circumstances. What was happening to me? My spellbound thoughts were suddenly disrupted when her hand reach for my wrist bringing up my bandage into view.
"What are you doing?" I spoke a little reluctantly.
"Did you burn yourself?" She asked out of the blue. My eyes widened in shock a little, how did she know that? I know that she is a figure of my imagination but why was my subconscious reminding me of my accident with a bar earlier.
"Yeah but how did you figure it was a burn?" I questioned. She raised her own hand to reveal a bandage on her hand also, taking of the bandage to reveal the same wound on the same hand as my own. I undid my wrap to see the similarities, speculating what was being said.
"How was this possible?" She asked showing me her flat palm, next to my open wound.
"I have no idea." I muttered taking her hand from the air to take a closer look into it. It was crazy that the same markings and size and depth of the burn was the same, as if the burn was a clone. I looked into her eyes to see her lost in thoughts, if she were real, it would be as if she was freaking out, but non of this was real so I couldn't take this so literal.
"This is too weird for me." She commented coming out of her haze sliding her hand from my grasp. She turned to put her bandage back on, facing away from me as if she were embarrassed. I walked around her so she was facing me wanting to know what she was thinking as I did my bandage back up.
"What's wrong?" I chimed in.
"This is too much of a coincidence. First you're in my dream again and then you burn yourself and then I get the same burn. I swear if you are in my dreams again tomorrow I'm going insane." She breathed, her hair flowing around the place catching my attention rather than her words.
"At least we're on the same boat with that one." I laughed a little. I could see that she was freaking out, she must not like surprises or weirdness. And to be fair I don't get what is happening in this dream but I wouldn't class it as us going insane. Well now I'm thinking about it, she is a figure of my imagination so if she's saying she's going crazy, I'm telling myself in a weird way i'm going crazy. Okay this is all too much now.
