Lost in Dream - the catcher

Chapter 1

--3 years later-- My name is Delilah farewell and I did something so horrible, so unspeakable that they took my dreams away and gave me nightmares. Your nightmares.

You see, every so often a dream catcher must be emptied of the nightmares it has caught. This is my job. My punishment.

I am called to your house. When u are not home to relive your fears and collect your nightmares.

I wake up from another dreamless and empty night crying. I miss them. I want them back. "WHY DID U DO THIS TO ME" I scream even though I know that no one can hear me.

I can feel the spell pulling at me....I miss my dreams and my precious imagination was the part of me that I loved; the only part I was proud of. Now I have nothing.

I used to fight it...but the pull of my punishment: the need to go and get the nightmares is too strong. I know that it isn't ME that wants too it's the curse.

So I pull myself out of bed and I don't even bother getting dressed anymore so I remain in my black tshirt and short yoga short. I touch the button that will take me to a house. There's only one here-a little girl- it seems she's the only one who has been protected by a catcher.

I walk up and run my had over the brown and green feathers that I know hold bad things but the prettiness always amazes me. It's such a contrast to the hot pink princess room. I can't believe it holds so much pain.

Now to empty it. I touch the center if the catcher and say it "release thine memories". My hand begins to glow as a greenish light travels up my arm and throughout my body.

Then it starts...it's like I'm a Spector in these dreams I feel like the dream is trying to push me out. Like it knows how bad it is and wants me gone. I've always wondered if they just want to stay cradled in the light feathers of a dreamcatcher.

In this girls nightmare she's in the middle of a field. Nothing around but we can see shadows dancing around its a circle. There's an alter in the center. She walks forward pushing through the gruesome shadow creatures and she looks up in horror to see that it's a boy on the alter. She stares in shock at the bloody form.

By the way she screams it seems as if she knows him. Ah now I remember! He was in the family photo next to the bed...it must be her brother.

Up comes a creature behind her and all I want to do is warn her, to scream, to help this poor child. It grabs her and sinks it's teeth into her.

A silent scream shows on her face as the figure then proceeds to place her on the alter; joining her with her dead sibling. As the dream begins to fade I see the tears on her face as she try's to grasp her brothers hand but then.....

I think that's why nightmares wake u up in the middle if the night. They just don't want u to see the ending.
