"Liam." Someone calls out to me.

I'm in a black room, no a forest. The shadows plays tricks with my eyes.

"Liam." The same voice was calling out to him.

Where am I? Hospital? Surely didn't look like one. I wander in the direction of the voice, my footsteps echo through the unnatural forest. It was a cloudless night, but still there was no moon or stars. Wierd....

"Liam! Hurry!"

The voice is in the opposite direction I was walking, I turn and walk in the other direction. After hours it felt like of searching in the darkness, I find the man who was calling out. It wasn't a man though, it was a young girl. She was tied to a chair unable to undo her bonds.

"Help!" It comes out more like a croak, she probably hasn't eaten or drank for a day or so.

She starts to dissolve into mist, catching into a breeze and flying away. Her eyes grow wide and she her skin goes white with fear.

"Help." She calls again, her voice now just a whisper. Then she's gone.

I stand there shocked. Suddenly I'm in a different place, as if I teleported. I was still in the musty old forest, but the trees were old and dead here. No grass grew either, it was like a waste land. Suddenly a man jumps on me from behind, he tackles me to the ground as I try to crawl away. I kick him off me with my legs and jump on to him, I pin his arms down and hold him still.

But this was a grown man. He easily overpowers me and he's suddenly on top of me, pinning my arms down.

"Give me the stone!" He growls frustratedly. "Give it! Before sundown I must have it, or I will kill you."

With that he pulls me up and throws me into one of the dead trees. I slide to the ground wheezing, I must have broken a rib or two. He stalks away into the darkness, and right before he leaves my sight he turns grinning.

"Il be waiting at Blue Aura, see you there punk."

Then I'm swept away again to a different place. A hospital bed, I jolt upright and instantly regret it. My shoulder where James had stabbed me hurts like hell. I realize I was just dreaming, but still..... I feel like it was more then just a dream. I sit back down on the bed and close my eyes and try to relaxe. Then I'm swept away once more into the land of the night.
