"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" I sat up screaming in my bunk as if I was set on fire. "Kev you alright bro?" Duane burst into the room to see if I was alright. Robert, Tom and Jack were behind Duane peeking in. Tom barged past Duane. "Jackson you're as white as a ghost" Tom started feeling my forehead. "I'm alright don- *cough* *cough*." I was feeling too weak to talk. "C'mon we're goin' to the doc." I nodded my head and tried to get out of my bunk but I couldn't. I've lost all strength. "I'll give you a hand sarge". The squad turned round and we all looked at the door. There he was standing in the doorway with his kit bag. Daniel Jackson was back. "Dan? That yo- *Cough* *Cough*" I was feeling so unwell. I couldn't finish my sentence. "Yea it's me Kev, let's go sarge doc's still awake." "C'mon Jackson, get up" With all the strength I had, (which was hardly any) I managed to get up and onto my feet. I couldn't walk, Tom and Daniel were pretty muchdragging me. I was constantly passing out and regaining consciousness every 30 seconds. I thought I was going to die a slow and painful death. I went unconscious for my last time I thought. I tried to open my eyes slightly but no luck. My body had just given up. Until I heard a voice. The voice was deep and didn't seem familiar at all. With the little amount of energy my brain had, I tried to process it. It only spoke a short sentence which somehow left my body in a chilling feel. "You must wake up..." The voice seemed to be speaking directly to me. Amazingly at the exact moment the echoing voice went away, I woke up. I was lying on a medical table but, I didn't feel sick at all anymore. My face was normal colour and felt perfect. "Kev, you okay bro? Gave us quite a shock," Daniel told me whilst patting me on the shoulder. "Sorry little bro, I don't know what happened." This was a slight lie. I remember what happened before I woke up but not what happened when I started feeling sick. "Jackson, you seem fine all of a sudden. You can't explain why by any chance?" Tom asked curiously. "No sarge, I can't. I'm as confused as you are." Dan gave a weird look as if he knew something. "Guys, I need some rest we can discuss this is in the morning." "Whatever you need Jackson. Alright you lot, back to bed lets go." The squad and I replied "Sarge" and off we went. "What's going on?" Daniel walked beside me and asked me the question without glancing at me. "What are you on about?" "Don't mess about with me bro" Daniel seemed very unhappy. I could only guess he knows somethings up and I won't tell everyone. We made it back to our room. Dan pointed at the chair beside our desk. "Sit." I knew I had to tell him or else he would beat me in my sleep, and so I sat. "I'm only asking once, what's going on?" I didn't want to tell Dan incase he would call me crazy and slap me in the face to try make me snap out of it. He was giving me a death stare that almost made me shake in fear. "Right ok." Dan withdrew from giving me a death stare and sat on his bunk. "When I fell asleep, I had a dream. I was with someone in a city and the city seemed abandoned. We were being chased by something, I don't know what it was, but we had reached a dead end in an alleyway. We turned our backs and opened fire on whatever was chasing us. I felt something spin me round via my shoulder and the dead end was gone. I didnt get it. Then something shot and I was screaming no and ,well, you know the rest... I was going to the doc but before I woke up, something told me in my mind to 'wake up'. Not just to wake up, but that I had to, and I instantly woke up. So there, now you know." Dan was speechless. He had no idea what to say. "Bro...I think that wasn't just a dream." Dan told me with his eyes wide open. "You think so?" "Yea, this is going to sound so crazy, but you should be careful of what you're dreaming about. The dreams could mean something." Dan was crouched in front of me speaking up at me. "If you say so little bro. C'mon we need to get some sleep." We both got up and lay on our bunks. Tomorrow will be another day.
