The past remains

Chapter 3

" Ally, can I come in?" asks the person behind the door 

" Yes" I say nervously 

A dark figure walks in, an I turn on my lamp. Only to find out that figure is my father. I jump out of bed and give him a tight hug.

" Dad what are you doing home so early? Your business trip wasn't supposed to end until next weekend." I say confused

" Well, your mother told me you were having some trouble with nightmares?You know that nothing is more important to me than my family." he says slightly smiling. 

" Yah, you should get some rest seems like you had a long trip." I say

" Are you sure, is there anything you'd like to talk about or do you need anything?" he says sounding very concerned.

" No, dad i'm fine. Get some rest." I say.

With that he gets up and leaves. Why is mom making such a big deal about this, I mean calling dad home from work. That is just ridiculous, what is going on? I grab my dream journal and scribble down every detail, making sure to hide the book afterwards. I feel a strange vibration near my foot and realize that dad forgot his phone on my bed. 

As I get up to return his phone I feel the curiosity wash over me. Well lets see what dad's up to. I know what i'm doing is rude and all but I don't know why I just feel it's necessary. I unlock his phone and go straight  to his messages. I open up his messages with mom, what did she tell him to make him come all the way home?  I scroll up and begin to whisper out loud processing everything I read.

Mom: " Honey,  something very wrong is going on. Ally she's having dreams and I read her dream journal. Her dreams she, I think she's going to find out" 

Dad: " She can't find out, get her a psychiatrist. Make her feel like she's crazy, tell her the dreams don't mean anything. This can't be happening, I'm coming home immediately!!"

Mom: " What if she finds out that we are not her-"

The door whips open and I quickly turn the phone off and toss it onto my bed. 

" Oh, sorry to bother you. I left my phone here." says dad

" Oh" I say as I pretend to search for it.

I grab it and give it to him, and he walks out once again. Oh my god! I didn't get to finish reading that message! Finds out we are not her... What? Something really weird is going on and I need to find out what it is. The one thing I know is that my dreams mean something and they are going to help me solve this mystery.

I lay down and try to figure out what could be going on. All I know is that I am Ally Cadwell and..... what? Are Karen and David my real parents? That doesn't even make sense though. My brain feels like its going to explode. Nothing I have learned makes any sense. Tired of thinking I decide to go to sleep looking forward to the dreams. Within a few minutes I drift into deep sleep and begin to dream.
