Luke's POV

Tell me what you see.

I'm alone on the beach. There is no one else. I can see for miles. The wind is strong, stronger than it has been and the sun burns. It hurts so I close my eyes. It's too bright so I turn around.

Can you see him?

I see him. He seems so small. I can't hear what he is saying, the wind is too strong.

He's here. I'm not alone.

How far away is he?

He is close. He knows I am here, I can't hear him. He won't talk to me.

Won't or can't?

I don't know. I walk towards him, but that's when it ends. I get so close, I feel I can touch him and.

Startled I open my eyes and see Katana kneeling in front of me. I am on the chair, my hands gripping the arm rests. She has tears in her eyes.

"I was worried. So worried, what happened?"

I don't understand what she means. I was just thinking about the dream, telling her about it.

"What?"

"You've been asleep for twenty minutes. I couldn't wake you."

I look over at the clock on the fireplace. It's almost half past eleven.

"There's no time Katana," I said, "It's going to be tonight isn't it?"

The panic in my voice was difficult to mask. Katana held my hand.

"You've had the dreams before," she said, "They come and go. That's all."

"They only started again after we lost Blaze," I said, "I know you don't want to face it."
