The Girl

“Watch out!” I heard just before being thrown into a garbage dumpster. What had happened? I didn't have time to think anything else before I was dragged from the dumpster by someone and was flying once again. This time I hit my head and everything went black.

“Hey are you okay?” a girl asked as I opened my eyes. She looked to be around 15. Her eyes were a bright crimson and her hair was in braids down to her ankles. She was wearing a cloak to cover her ripped and tattered uniform. The uniform was black with strange designs on the sleeves. This was weird.

“Fine. Who are you?” I asked while trying to sit up. She pushed me back down again.

“You hit your head and shouldn't try to get up yet. And my name you don't need to know.

“Why?”

“Because you won't remember any of this.” She said and then put her finger to my head and started to murmur in a low voice. The words made no sense and started to scare me. I put up my hands to push her away and then I woke up.

I lay in my bed scared of what I had seen. “That was weird.” I mumbled as I sat up in the bed. “Why was it so vivid?”

“Jason, are you okay?” my brother said from the bunk next to mine. Why was he awake.

“I'm fine Van. Why are you up?” I asked rubbing my eyes.

“I had a weird dream and woke up about five minutes ago. What about you?”

“The same, but what happened in yours?”

“I was in the woods and was being chased by something. You?”

“There was a girl. She was beautiful. She saved me from being killed and then tried to erase my memory. I went to push her away, but then I woke up.”

“I thought my dream was weird” Van said as he shook his head. “Let's go back to sleep.”

“Ya” I replied as I laid back down to sleep again. I had no more dreams of the strange girl again that night, but I had the feeling the future held much much more.
