The night is a blue-black, not unusual, but peculiar for my dreams. High grass cushions the ground I'm laying on as I stare up at the bright stars and full moon. There's not a cloud in the sky, but clear and beautiful is never a good sign.
I can feel you. I know you're there. We're not speaking. I look to you. You're sitting up in the grass, your long legs out in front of you, your hands propping you up at an angle. The dark doesn't hide your peachy hair or your tanned skin though.
You feel me looking and turn to me. Your blue eyes are full of hate and are boring into my green ones with such force that I have to break contact. Staring back to the moon I don't say a word. I can feel the anxiousness of waiting, but I don't speak.
I begin to run my hands through the grass, letting the sharpest blades prick into my skin and draw blood. Peering at my body I notice my whtite outfit. The shorts are too short and the top is too low, but I'm wearing it into the cold night anyway. Wiping the blood on my outift I get up. I don't hear you following until I'm almost to the river.
I stare into the rushing water. My wavering reflection appears, my nearly brown hair falling around my washed out features. Your footsteps, though soft in the thick grass, seem loud in my ears. You're coming faster than I anticipated. You're walking with purpose.
Your face appears next to mine in the dark water. My vision is clearing as I force my eyes to meet the reflection of yours. They're bright, evil. With a swift movement you pushed me. I stumbled, my bare feet scraping across jagged rocks into the sharp ones in the deep water. Water files into my body through my open mouth and nose as my body desperately tries to get oxygen. The water fills my lungs and I know I'm doomed. My head keeps hitting the stones, each one driving into my scalp. The water I'm sucking in begins to taste like metal as grey fuzziness slips into my vision. I'm falling into unconciousness, only to find myself laying in bed, staring at the clock that reads 2:27.
