Strange.
"Show me where you heard the noise. Breakfast will be on the table be the time we return." Although he told me to show him he pretty much guided me out of the dining room.

Once we reached the corridor my rooms were on we paused.
"I was walking back when I heard it. It sounded like it came from somewhere over there." I pointed to the very end of the hallway. "Hmm.." Alexander merely said.
I looked to him. He was looking to where I pointed with a hand on his chin. He noticed however I was looking at him and he looked back at me. We were silent before he started walking forward. I started to follow him when I paused for a second. The memory from my dream hit me and I stumbled. My hand found the wall and my vision went black. Then there... The beast. Its hair covered its face. It was just me and that thing! I whipped my head and saw that I was in the same room. But, I noticed this wasn't like the dream I had last night. To my horror, I noticed this was new. Well, it's hard to describe. It was if reality fell away and it dropped in me in the same room and this was the present. The beast moved again. I covered my eyes and dropped to me knees.
"What are YOU?!" I screamed out as I could its footsteps get closer. It got deadly silent when I heard breathing. Loud breathing. Then a hand touched me and then it burned. The whole place where the hand was touching me felt like someone poured gasoline on me and lit a match. I jerked and started pushing at the hand and I tried to keep from screaming but it came out as whimpering. I caught a glimpse of the beasts face before I was brought back to reality. It was... It was like a... NO, I am NOT going to describe it! I don't ever want to remember it! I want to forget! But, no.


When I came back to reality, for lack of a better word, I had collapsed to the ground surely as I was on the ground. My eyes jerked open and I took a deep breath. I had stopped breathing. Then I noticed that Alexander was kneeling in front of me awkwardly supporting me in leaning up. His hand held my face and his other was on my shoulder to keep me from falling over.. My face started to sting. At this point though I was still in a frenzy from the dream. My shoulder still felt as if it were burning and I tried to jerk away.
"Stop! Leave me alone!" I shouted and started pushing away. To me, in my mind, I thought Alexander was the beast. The hand left my face but the hand on my shoulder held harder. I started struggling even more and soon the hand fell off. I was breathing harshly by now and I finally got to my feet. I tensed getting ready to sprint away but the second my foot moved
