KATHIA

I found myself this time in the middle of  a passage. surrounded by doors made with glassy doors. I couldn't figure out how many doors were there, every thing around me were just doors and more mirrors projecting thousand reflections of me.

I stood there, no one had to tell me it was a dream, I knew it was, especially with the cloth I was wearing. It was a white full skirted gown, reaching the floor . I looked so different and strange. I stared at thousands of me as they stared back at me. My hair looked so old-fashioned …

I walked towards the closest mirror to me and peered into it, as I did, I saw several of my reflections doing  the same..it was too creepy and too quiet.

Then I noticed a movement, in the reflection before me, I saw his back view again, in the mirror while I stared, he was in that abandoned field, where I had always seen him, just that now I am seeing him from a mirror.

He was wearing the same long black jacket ..he was still and made no movement except for his hair that danced in the breeze. If I could see him in the mirror, then I thought I should see him behind me.

I turned around and gasped as i found one of me standing in the flesh before me..it was like looking into the mirror, I stared  around again..I was no more in the passage, I was at  the center of what seemed like a maze .

Read " Ichabod " by the same author ( Tobi Loba )

. The mirrors and the doors have all disappeared ..Startled, I turned back around

. She was still there, Unflinching. I could have sworn it was my reflection but I knew she was real..I was seeing myself in another flesh..how could this be?

I could feel the sweat drench my  skin, the throbbing of my own eyes.  couldn't be scared of myself could I?

I muttered courage and asked..

"Who are you?"

As if she just recognised me, she gasped, her expression turned into that of terror ,she screamed and reached for my arms firmly and strongly, shaking me and shouting., "You have to go back now! You have to go back now! "

All of a sudden there was an earthquake and I could feel the ground gave way under me. Fear engulfed my cousciousness as I started falling into a total darkness. It was like a very deep pit of darkness and I could hear my own screaming as I fell deeper....

..............................

I was immediately jerked back into reality, frozen and unable to move. My heart was still pounding and my ears were vibrating.  Gradually it began to dawn on me that it was a dream and I was okay but I wasn't. I could feel moisture all over my face and my pyjamas was soaked in fresh sweat. My  throat itched terribly and I desperately hoped I hadn't woken Anna up-

I still couldn't move, I was exhausted internally and I was lying in a total darkness, I blinked several times to make sure I was fully awake because I knew If i fell asleep, the night mare would definitely continue.

Using all my will power, I turned to my side and was reaching for the bed lamp when suddenly my door was flung open and Ana rushed in. I knew I had failed ...

I had expected her to rush to my side like always but she didn't, Instead, she went to my closet , picked some shirt and pant and threw them at me.

"Dress up!" SHe ordered. "We are going to Lucinda now. I already called her and she is expecting us."

I gasped and wanted to protest, it was barely 5 AM but with the look on her face, I knew I had no choice than to comply.

**************************************************************************************

I believe we all know who Lucinda is- the psychic/the dream explainer or something close to that....
