My name is called at the front desk and I jump slightly. I look up. The woman at reception is smiling at me. A small, kind smile which gave me a little bit of happiness and then it vanishes, sucked in by the dark memories of my past.
I stand up, fix my blouse and walk down the long corridor that leads to a big wooden door with gold lettering reading 'Mr Edwards'. I stood there for a few minutes before i knocked. The noise echoed through the room and then I heard footsteps.
A loud creak awakened from the door as a large man with big, thick glasses and grey hair appeared. His smile was scary but, comforting at the same time. He looked at me and then spoke suddenly.
"Would you like to come in?" he spoke loudly and moved away from the door as a gesture for me to go in.
"Can you help me?" I say as everything goes blurry and I realise I'm crying.
He guides me in and sits me down on a red chair. He hands me a tissue and then sits on his desk in front of me.
"What seems to be the problem, er?" his voice booming at me.
"Miss Cassidy" I reply.
"Yes, Miss Cassidy, how can I help you?"
"I keep having these nightmares which are worrying me. I keep having the same one everynight for the past 3 weeks and I don't know why!" I say, feeling myself tear up again.
"Ok, and what do these nightmares consists of?"
"I'm falling. Falling from a great height. I'm scared and don't know what's going on. Then I see something black and dark, shining slightly. And then..... I wake up!"
"And what is this black object you keep seeing?" he asks gently.
"I don't know, I've never seen it before in my life!" I answered, a little louder than expected.
"ok, i want you to go to sleep tonight and if you have that nightmare again, when you wake up, draw what you seee and then bring it to me tomorrow." he says, almost whispering.
"ok, I will, see you tomorrow!" I say, heading for the door.
"Remember you can always phone me or pop in for a chat!" And for a second, I don't feel scared anymore.
As I drive home, that feeling of comfort soon disapears as I see that dark object from my nightmare. I panic and swerve to get away.
The next thing I know I've crashed. Fear fills my body and theres blood on the window and all over me. I look in the rearview mirror. There I see the black object rushing towards me.
Then..... darkness...!
