Chapter 42: The Right Path

Hanna

The figure was in the distance. A woman. Her long, red-blonde hair was floating around her head like a halo as she drifted limply in the water.

She wasn't supposed to be here.

I moved towards her, looking up to see the surface of the water high above my head.

This wasn't right. I was far away from where I usually dreamed. The water was warm, the sun casting a sparkling glow across the surface as I moved through the stillness towards the woman, reaching out to grasp her by the arm.

I could feel life within her still, though the pulse beneath my fingers was slow and irregular. A rope was tied around her waist, the end of it floating several feet above her head.

Holding her by the arm I kicked my feet, moving towards the surface of the water. She was weightless, her hair falling over her face as we rose from the blue depths, our heads breaking through the surface into blinding sun.

A wave came, the water seeming to whisper to me as it took the woman away.

Had it thanked me?

I looked around, treading water in search of where the woman had gone.

But a grinding sound made me look over my shoulder. I blinked, my mouth dropping open in shock.

The white building in my dreams was before me, so close I could see the symbols etched into the stone. It was built into a rock striped with veins of granite, camouflaged from view unless you knew exactly what you were looking for.

A single wave could have brought me to it. I was that close.

But the grinding sound turned into screams of terror and agony. All around me the sky erupted into angry noise. People were yelling, voices lifted in desperation and despair. I reached up to cover my ears, shaking my head and closing my eyes.

No, no, no!

Suddenly, I was pulled beneath the water, the dream unraveling around me into nothingness.
