The Dream Catcher

The box

            "GET OFF OF ME , GET OF OF ME !!" as my little sister Bella  screams in her sleep, I rush over to her to wake her up and calm her down, this is the third time this week she's been having nightmares I thought to myself. I Shook her woke and made sure she was ok gave her a glass of water , and rocked her back to sleep. I wanted to ask her what have she been dreaming about lately but i know she won't tell me , every time I ask she says she's not supposed to tell anybody, so that made me wonder. It was kinda late  so I just brushed it off and layed next to my sister stroking her hair as I fall asleep, i'll handle it in the morning I thought , and within a drop of a hat I was sleep.
            The next morning came I got up and luckily Bella was still sleep, so that gave me all the time I needed to do my hygiene and make me and Bella some breakfast. Bella is 6 years old so all she wants to do in the morning is play with her dolls and mess up the house with all of her toys literally  . I'm 22 , i've been taking care of Bella for 4 years now , practically all her life Im all she's got. Our parents died in a murder - suicide . I kinda don't feel bad about because they really never been here for us, my mom was a crack head and my daddy was drunk so they would always fight and beat on each other.  "Good morning Mercedes." Bella said as pranced around the kitchen to get to her seat at the table . "Goodmorning sweetie."  I said as i gave her a kiss on the cheek and sat her plate right in front of her, gave her a cup of juice and sat down and ate our food.
            "Hey bella I have a question." i said as i watched her stuff her face with pancakes , she shook her head for me to continue. "what have you been dreaming about? you know you can tell me anything?" she looked and me and said "Shhhh, he can hear you"  and right before you know it everything went black.
        i opened my eyes and, got up with this weird feeling , my head was hurting and i was really dizzy . I searched the room for  Bella but she was nowhere in sight, i went to the bedroom to see if she was in there  , she was. She was sitting on the bed playing with two weird looking spooky voodoo like dolls. I've never seen them before and i wanted to know where they came from . i sat next to Bella looking at the dolls they gave me chills. "Bella where did you get those dolls from" she told me how she found them in a box underneath the bed, i asked her what did she do with the box , she pointed under the bed. i looked under the bed to get the box. I picked the box up it was like a keep safe box. I opened the box only to find a dream catcher , a picture of a middle aged woman and a little note book with writing in it, i flipped through the book , it was full every single last page, and a note.  i looked back at Bella, she had fallen asleep with the dolls in her arms, i removed the dolls and put them back in the box with everything else and took the box in the living room, let's see what we have here I thought as I sat on the couch and began to read what was in the notebook.
