ANSWER TO LAST CHAPTER: Terminator 2: Judgement Day

  "I'm also just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her"

"YOU are destined for great things." She asserts, her voice traveling through the darkness. My eyes squint in the direction of where the voice is coming from. I can never see the mystery girl, no matter how many times I have this dream. "And you're capable of such great things. Just stay on the right path."

And then she says something new, something I haven't heard of before. I've had this same dream for three years now, most nights but she has never said this. "The people you are with will show you things you never thought you could have. You can trust them."

Frowning, I open my mouth, ready to ask the girl who visits my dreams what she means. Who is she talking about? How can I trust her?

"I - I don't understand," I stammer, scanning the dark area. Everything is black, everywhere I look, I can only see darkness. It's infuriating.

"You will child, one day." She answers; before I can delve any further, I'm being transported back to reality.

"She's resting Alpha." A woman's voice fills my ears. My eyelids are shut tightly and my body is resting on something soft. A bed. I attempt to move a muscle, to move anything but nothing works. My body has gone into a frozen state. What I can do is hear though.

"And when will she wake up?" A deep voice asks. At the sound of his husky, silky voice, my body electrifies. The sensation is unnerving yet breath-taking. It feels like all of my veins are coming alive. If I could do anything, I bet I would have gasped in shock and delight.

"I'm afraid I don't know Alpha. I imagine soon, her body needs to prepare itself for the transition." The woman, who I assuming is a doctor, informs him.

The Alpha says a few other words but I pay no attention to it. My mind zeroes in on what the doctor said, about a transition. What on earth could that mean? Am I going to transform into something? My anxiety levels spike at the thoughts I'm having. My heart thumps loudly in my chest, causing the heart monitor to increase its beeping. Next, my breathing starts to fall off its normal path and instead, my breaths are quick.

"What's happening?" The man, Alpha, questions in an urgent voice. Dare I say it, he's panicked about my state. I want to frown so badly. Why would he be worried about me? He doesn't know me. "Doctor? What's happening?"

"She's having a panic attack in her comatose state. That's curious." The doctor comments. She starts to say something but everything is incoherent.

"--well do something! You're a doctor!" The man shouts, angrily. "Otherwise you will be punished."

The man continues to bark orders at the doctor but by this time, I'm completely out. My body floating back into the abyss.

***

When I wake up again, its quiet. I don't feel a presence in the room with me but how would I? Someone could silently be waiting. What am I going on about? I think, mentally shaking my head.
