The past remains

Chapter 2

"Take a seat" say my psychiatrist

I sit down on the couch and take a minute to study her. She is tall, pale and old.

" So Ally I hear that you are having some trouble with bad dreams, is that correct?" she says 

" umm... well yes" I say awkwardly

" alright so would you like to take a minute to describe  a dream for me please?"

" So it started with this one dream and there was this couple and they had a baby. Then out of nowhere these 2 masked figures, a man and a woman took the baby. After that my dreams have been continuing off from where they left. Its like a story." 

" Are you comfortable with telling me each and every one of your dreams?" she asks politely

" yes" I say.

With that I sit there for over an hour explaining every single dream I had in order, of course using a little help from my dream journal. I stop talking after I have told her about the dream I had last night.

" You said her name was Karen?" she asks puzzled

" Yes it was" I say

" You know Ally I've never heard of anything like this before. Do you happen to know anyone named Karen?" she says

"no"

" Well I will take a look at this and I may need some time to study the situation. So I want you to know I will be here if you need me and don't get too stressed over these thing, take care." she says as I get up and begin to walk out.

As I walk out of the office I read all of the posters on the wall. One catches my eye, and I begin to read it" Dreams are clues to solve a mystery called future". Well if dreams are clues then what are my dreams clues for? 

I reach home in and hour and decide to ask my mom if she has any idea as to who Karen is.

" hey mom, i have to ask you something." I say 

" yes dear, what is it?"

" Well I was wondering do you know anyone named Kare-" 

" No, i absolutely do not" she says cutting me off

I take a minute to study her and realize she looks nervous as if she is hiding something. I  decide not to continue this conversation. In  then end all that's gonna do is get me another appointment for the psychiatrist.

----------------------Later that night

I slip into the bed, not wanting to go to sleep knowing that dreams await ahead. My eyes slowly begin to close and I prepare myself for the wild ride ahead. Before I know it I fall asleep and the dreams start.

Her eyes are swollen but the tears don't stop. She looks over at her husband who is now awake.

"David why is this happening to us" she says through tears

" Karen be strong we will get through this, i know we will." he says now crying himself

" They look Ellie from us! What if they hurt her?" she says sobbing

The large metal door swings open and the masked figures walk in.

" Ah ah ah, Ellie is not her name. Say hello to Ally Cadwell" Says the masked man holding the baby. 

I wake up my heart is pounding and I can barley breath. Ally Cadwell? That is my name, why is my name in this book? I am the stolen child of David and Karen? This can't possibly be true-        Just then I hear a loud knock on my bedroom door, who could possibly be awake at 3:00 in the morning?
