The visions were starting. My eyesight starts to blur and my heart pounds an unnatural beat in my chest. I open my eyes and am transported to a place that although blurry and out of focus,  I could make out that it was a forest.

I look around and see a little girl, about nine years of age weeping against a knarled tree. Her dull grey eyes looked lifeless and watery and they seemed to be silently crying out for help. Her long brown hair was dirty and matted and I swear that I could see bugs crawling about in it. My eyes stray a little lower and stopped on her mouth and I felt my heart plummet to the depths of my soul.

Her mouth was sewn shut and little droplets of blood were falling down from her trembling chin, all the way down to her dingy and ripped clothing. Her petite neck looked so badly cut that she should've probably been dead already. But surprisingly, she wasnt.

I gasp and feel tears drip down my face at the sight of her. She tries to call for help, instead making a horrible muffled half - shrieking sound. I watch powerlessly as more blood half drips/ half squirts down. Draw, she seems to say in my head, draw and I will live, draw and I will be free. Please...please help me! She starts sobbing and drops to the ground. I start to scream, a horrible spine tingling shriek that didn't even sound like my own.

"I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry", I mumble, tearfully,  "LET ME OUT, LET ME SAVE HER."

"Rowan?" Says a timid female voice.

I am suddenly brought back to reality.

"MOM , MOM PLEASE HELP ME. I N-NEED TO SAVE HER." I scream, not caring how insane I sound.

Mom has started to cry as well, but for a different reason.

"Honey... it's going to be okay, you're safe now, we have someone here to see you, " She says, trying to smile, her voice wobbling heavily.

I turn my head and see my father and a lady with a wide and shiny fake smile. I knew what was happenong. SLowly, I  felt betrayal course through my body. I glare menacingly at my parents turned captors.

"Mom, who is this?" I say as tears threaten to fall again.

"This is Miss Petrias, she's going to help you."

Seeing that as some sort of a cue Miss Petrias grabs my arms while my parents uncuff me from my bed.

"NO! Mom, dad I am NOT crazy. PLEASE." I yell, not caring that miss Petrias was watching. She was surprising strong for someone so small. I struggle under her grasp, trying to twist out of her death grip somehow when suddenly, she faces me. Her eyes stare into my angry ones and she smiles, a horrible, grotesque thing that seemingly burned into my very soul. I felt fatigue grip my body as she stared at me. I felt myself starting to fall asleep, my eyelids fighting hard to stay open.

No....I cant let her win...

My eyes fall closed. Images I can't recognise flash into my head before everything gets dark. No! I say to myself again inside my head. I resist, a shot of adrenaline coursed through my body and my eyes suddenly popped open. Miss  at me with a hint of surprise in her unsettling eyes before I feel my head nudging me even harder to go to sleep. My fight diminishing, I finally give in and pass out in Miss Pelis's arms.
