Watching Eye's

The Dream

Star City: The Lance Apartment: 1:30am

    "Help me" came the the sad voice again. This would be the third time this week Laurel heard the voice in her dream. The same dream she was in right now. She walked down the corridor of an empty building. It was tall, but she didn't know exactly how tall because she couldn't get the elevator to come down or onto the emergency stair well. She could just walk this corridor.

    The walls were a mixture of a grey/yellow color and they were bare. No pictures, no plaques just bare, grey walls. She continued walking. The voice kept calling "help me" but every door she tried was locked. She continued walking down the same hallway she had been walking down for three nights.

    But then something happened. Something that had never happened before. Another hallway appeared. This one was red. Blood red. Laurel took a breath and followed the corridor she has now named the blood corridor to make it less scary to herself. The voice was louder here. "Help me" came the voice, this time sounding more clear and reflected that of a 20-30yr old woman. "Where are you?" Laurel called back feeling more brave. "In the hall of demons" the voice said again. Laurel gulped at the name. "I'm coming" Laurel said back and continued forward.

    Another hallway appeared at the end of this one. The dream seemed to be unfolding for the first time in front of her and Laurel didn't really know what she thought but she needed to get to the bottom of things. As she rounded the corner she saw what looked like human faces in the wall. "This must be the hall of demon's" she thought to herself hating this dream more and more.

    As Laurel walked the hall, the once blurry faces started to become clearer and clearer. She tried not to look at them but couldn't help it. Some had horns, some were red, some were colors she had never seen before. "Look at how brave she is" a voice from the wall says. "No wonder Heart is interested in her" another says. "No one has ever found this corridor" chimed another. "To bad the little bird is broken" quipped one to her left. "Ah but we all know Heart can fix that don't we" laughed one to her right.

    Laurel ignored the quipping as best as she could and continued moving forward. She wondered if the voices were right and Heart could fix her hurt back. If they could she could be a more active part of the team. Laurel shakes off the thought and continues moving. She can't loose focus. She has to save the person locked here and wake up. She had a party to get ready for and a deposition to write.

    "The siren wants to go to a party" one of the voices mocked. "Yes, yes she will bring the house down" another laughed. "She doesn't know" another said snickering. Laurel continued to walk. She wasn't going to let a bunch of dream voices get to her. She reached the end of the corridor and saw a locked door. This one had a small window and she looked in and saw a woman sitting on the bench inside.

    The women looked up at her. She had tears glistening on the side of her beautiful blue eyes. She had short brown hair and was in tattered clothing. She looked bruised but in decent health. The girl tried to get off the bench but was held back by the massive chains connected to each of her arms and both her legs. It didn't stop the girl from trying but she just wasn't strong enough. "Help Me" she begged again. Laurel's heart sunk.

    Laurel felt a overwhelming sense of anger build up inside her. She took a deep breath and let it out but instead of a normal yell she saw sonic waves fly against the door busting it into a million little pieces. Laurel stared at the door. And not exactly knowing what she was doing she place her hand on the chains and this time the vibration went through her hands and broke the chains. She helped the girl stand up slowly. After a few minutes the girl turned to Laurel and said "hi, my name is Karma".

With those words, in a run down hotel in the Glades, Grace D' Argento shoots straights up in bed, breathing harder than she had earlier from the night of sex with her men. When She finally is able to take in some air she says to the dark room "Karma is alive and the DA Laurel Lance knows where she is". Slink smiles in the darkness "now the true fun begins" he mutters to himself as he pulls Grace's naked form against him and cuddles her. "We will find her Gracie that I promise" Slink whispers and she settles back down. She feels Arthur's and Christopher's arms also wrap around her. She smiles at the warmth and with a silent promise to Karma to find her, she falls back to sleep.
