Jude had come after me, and he was standing beside me when I started to shake me head furiously. I fisted my hands into my hair, fully prepared to rip out chunks, when his hands covered mine and he looked into my tear-streaked face. Slowly, he released my hands from my hand and held them, a frown on his face.559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArjiz8uW5e

"What is it?" he asked. "What's wrong?"559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlMW21ZCQ6

"I know him," I said, looking at the picture of the flyer. "His name is Jared Davis. He's Christian's best friend."559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkSWWWLhNk
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbWiPIGVdM
I couldn't believe that this, any of it, was happening. I realized, then, that I hadn't seen Jared for the last few days at school. It didn't even occur to me that he might have gone missing, either. All of the nightmares I was having revolved around someone dying. I only had one option left: I had to stay awake.559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIfq76WQPn

Jude bit his lip. "How the hell are you able to deal with it?"559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0np0D7TcT

"It's not like I have a choice," I told him, stepping away from the window. I pressed my fingers to my temple, trying to ease the dull pain I felt. "Can we go somewhere else?"559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLfalKJofO
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULcQePzHBN
He nodded. "Where would you like to go?"559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucSjeJ1vF8

"Anywhere but here," I said, sighing.559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0c6f0njBL

Behind Jude's house was a lake surrounded by woods. He took me there and we sat on top of a log, talking about my nightmares, our families, and finally, the reason why he moved to Alpena.559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6Xg2OAQtP

"My parents wanted to be closer to my sister," he said. He wasn't looking at me when he said this, but out into the water, like it would reply back.559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAJzHeu68q

He shifted uncomfortably. "Had," he said softly. "She died."559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPnbER2XgZ

I didn't know what to say. The only other person I knew who had lost a family member was Christian, and he rarely talked about it with anyone.559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQQnCHWFpc

"Of course you didn't know. But don't apologize. It was a long time ago." He leaned back slightly, perhaps stretching, his eyes on me the entire time. "So, these nightmares, when did they start?"559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qTMKoPd1j
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIEnjgEykK
"A few months ago, but I didn't think anything of them until the people around me started dying."559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9ClNT5VYk

"Who was the first person?" Jude asked, tilting his head.559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcJ0Di8Ptm

"My old psychiatrist, John." I shook my head. "Whoever is doing this is being careful."559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30bN50LSgL

Jude nodded and surprised me by putting an arm around my shoulders. We stayed like that for awhile, until he cleared his throat and spoke again.559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhVYoTYJuM
