Dreamcatcher

'Do you want to end it? It will all be over after you take the steps.'

Tired of being treated like an animal, she feels the wide river calling her to come closer. She takes the steps closer with empty eyes but then gets pulled back by a stranger.

"I don't know what your problem is but suicide is not the answer. Your life is precious."

She feels weird when a stranger says that to her while her own family doesn't. There is no hope for her anymore, then why this stranger wants to save her?

Iris looked around and her eyes stopped at a beautiful dreamcatcher hanging at the window. She pointed at it and looked at Lucas.
"What was that for?" Lucas's eyes followed the pointed place and smile when he saw the dreamcatcher.

"For you, to make you only have a good dream after this. Take all of your nightmares" He smiled but stopped after hearing her sneer at him. Did he seriously believe it? Then, Iris heard a laugh coming beside her.

"Your face shows it all, little girl. Well, if it is true or not, the Dreamcatcher is beautiful. Looking at something beautiful will make you relaxed, just like how you make me feel right now. You make me feel relaxed." Iris stared at him for a few seconds before looking back at the dreamcatcher.

Will Iris finally be able to run away from her nightmares?
