Bella can’t escape her gift, she’s stuck seeing the inner workings of people’s minds as she visit their dreams at night. Nobody knows her secret, until her family moves back to Forks and a whole new world opens up to her.
Preface
“Sleeping is no mean art; for its sake one must stay awake all day” ~Friedrich Nietzsch
One night of peaceful sleep, was that too much to ask for? Yeah, obviously it was.
Because here I was, once again trapped in my brothers dream. But fortunately this dream wasn’t that bad. In this dream I found myself sitting on the bleachers during a football game, and it didn’t take long for me to spot my brother. He was running on the football field with the ball in his arms. Nobody was able to catch him. When he managed to do a touchdown, without even breaking a sweat and nobody near taking him down, the entire audience started booing. He looked up surprised, wondering what the hell was wrong. I half smiled to myself. Because I knew what was wrong. He had run towards the wrong goal. Scoring a point to the opposite team. So no wonder nobody cheered for him.
And yeah, I guess it was pretty bad when I claimed this to be a good dream. But I guess I meant it was a good dream for me. Usually his dreams consisted on him being in bed – or in his car, or in a pool… or yeah, you get the picture – with random girls. Once he even dreamed about his teacher. Yeah, his teacher might just be barely pushing thirty, but still. Gross!
It didn’t matter who the girl was, it was still painfully disgusting for me to be forced to witness his sick fantasies. And it wasn’t like there was anything I could do about it. I couldn’t force myself out of a dream. I had to watch it play out.
Because I was a Dreamcatcher.
