Chapter 2- Eyes closed

Trees past bye the car window in flashes; if I really squinted they looked like green smoke, When things finally started to brighten I had a thought, ' all my friends, I won't be at the same school' I hadn't even said goodbye. But something even worse happened. I had fell asleep in the car. The Oddloom dream began.

Things started to swirl, there she was. Nicole, she had angel wigs and a wooden guitar.

" iceskating?" She said

We skimmed across the ice in our pyjamas. A dear came and joined us....wait....Suddenly the ground started to shake. The ice braking off pieces one-by-one and the wreckage in the ice spelt out words: TAKE A MOVE. It was my dad, whenever he said ' TAKE A MOVE' you could tell he was angry. He was here. There was a loud noise in the wood, a flash of red hair but it wasn't my fathers. It was long and it glistened in the snow.

That was close. I would of thought that the woods be a safe place to hide. Apparently my red locks were too much of a target. He probably didn't remember anyway, they never do...well sometimes they do. I wouldn't know, I haven't had a dream of my own since I was five. Oddloom dreamers are a 1 in 100 chance. But there a plenty out there, just like me. We have the ability to enter other people's dreams. Each oddloom dreamer is linked to one person; the owner of the dream. I didn't know mine, this was common among Oddloom population. I knew he was a boy, and he was scared of his dad. But we've never met. It's harder that way.

Because if you know the person, the mind of the owner is all ok; its normal to have people you know in your dreams. Its only if you get caught in there dream and you've never met in real life that it gets nasty. Let me explain, your in your dream and someone you've never seen in your life pops-out. And there not from TV or a billboard somewhere they were never at that meeting last week. You have no idea where they came from. So your mind gets confused and starts flipping out. Your main objective is to get them out of your dream...even if you have to kill them. Spooky, I know. Thats why the DELOOM are here.

They are a secret group of leaders only existing to the Oddloom population. They control us by setting down rules, the most important rule is you should NEVER have contact with the owner of the dream. These rules all started when a man called Margo Nedlandia entered the president Noel's dream and saw something.....blackmail worthy. Amazing how we are such rare people and someone got linked with the one and only president. Ever since then the president said all the Oddlooms had to follow strict rules and should never have a proper relationship with there linked owners. Hence the ' order of the DELOOM' our little government.

" here we are " Melony was parking in our new driveway. I had completely forgot we were still in the car.

" what do you think, Amber" Melony was a good sister. Not a good mum, she was pretending since we parted from grandma. Now it seems she's the head of the house.

" it's not to bad, shotgun the room up the top." I was getting more optimistic about the whole thing. The house was blue and white when a poplar tree in the front yard.

" sure, but your doing dinner. " she laughed

" deal" It was a fare agreement, the room of the top floor was facing the beach and had a large window.

That night it was colder than it had ever been at my old house. I hoped it wasn't a bad sign. The frost was crystallising in the corners of the glass.

That morning the only thing in eye's view was the window, the frost that was at the corners last night was now covering the entire window. A message was dripping down the cold glass. Maybe it was from Melony, telling me to get up. ' Meet me in the town garden' it red.

" breakfast! Come on Amber, we can't sleep in. UnPacking to do!" Melony yelled

" did you write on my window"- " no. Why?"

"Sorry Melony a have to go." I changed into my favourite winter coat and boots.

" wait...What!" She was confused but before she knew it I was out the door.

My boots splashed into every puddle it could find on till I found the gardens, the ripples of water showed my tired face back at me. This had better be worth it. I was trying to find the names of possible suspects to the message, a few names bounced around my head. Grandma? Maybe.

A boy sat on a chair in the middle of the gardens, he was a stranger to me so a kept my guards up. He was a slim figure with dark hair and was looking down at his reflection.

" oh, you made it new girl" he didn't see me, he just knew

" who..."- " its cold I know"

" my name is Ty, what's yours" he looked up at me and I had a shock.

" yeah it's the eye isn't it." He had one blue eye and one green, it was amusing to look at.

" had ever since I was born." -" no,no I like it." I was assuming he wasn't here to kill me so talking was flicked on finally.

" do you usually write on people's windows Ty," I had a sassy tone on purpose.

" no but in your case I think theres an exception, you see Amber me and you have something in common. I was sent to find you by the DELOOM" he whispered

Oh great the first guy I find in this town and he wants my blood.

" are you here to kill me " I should have kept my guards up.

" no amber. I was just informed that you were here. I'm Oddloom" he smiled

I found him amusing to listen to. Also it would be cool to have a friend thats the same.
