My eyes grew heavy as I laid down my head on the soft cotton pillow. A smile slipped onto my face as I felt his hand wrap around my waist, his breath brushing my ear like a feather falling from the ceiling. I turned to face him, pressing my body to his. Skin to skin. Eye to eye. Breath to breath. His dark gery eyes peirced into mine with purpose. His lips brushed against mineas he spoke.

"Find me."

I slowly opened my eyes and chuckled quietley. My head spun as I sat up and dragged my hand down  my face. My back tingled when I twisted to feel the floor. It was warm. I stood and dragged myself to the bathroom, my feet sinking with each step, the floor getting warmer as I walked.

My body grew warmer as I turned on the water faucet to rinse my face. It was hot. I began to sweat from the blazing heat creeping up my neck and into my lungs.

"Hhh-." I wheezed as I tried to cough. I began to claw at my throat as if something had wrapped around it. I clawed and gasped until I had almost passed out.

"Find Me."

I jolted awake, my chest heaving like a storm had just come and gone in my lungs. I tried to stand only to come crashing back onto the floor, hitting my elbow on my dresser, I winced and leaned my head back onto the mattress. I lifted my arm to reach for my phone and dialed Goliath's number. 

Drrr. Drrr. Dr-

"Hey Eve. What's up?" I dragged myself back onto my bed and laid there.

"I kinda need you." I heard him give a small chuckle over the phone that you could tell he was smiling.

" Why are you so indecisive when it comes to me?"  I groaned at the pain in my elbow but also at the pain in my groin.

"Can you just get here please?" As I rolled onto my stomach, I noticed noise in the background.  Keys.  I smiled and bit my lip. 

"Alright  alright. Don't get your balls In a knot. I'll be there in 5."  My smile grew wider as I hung up the phone as I recalled my dream. I rolled over and giggled like a giddy little kid.

The Reaper spoke to me in my dreams often but barely ever like this. Did he miss me? I rolled the covers up to my waist and turned on my bedside lamp, picking up my book and tracing back to where I was.

'The ocean swallowed me down as I tried to come back up for air. My legs failed me as the seaweed caught onto me. I was gonna drown.'
