- I was running down a dark, damp, cold corridor. I knew something was behind me but I couldm't turn to check and see what it was... I never could. It wasn't the first time I'd had this dream/nightmare not even close to the first time. Everytime I fell asleep I dreampt it again. I kept running and finally i reached the end of the corridor where water was ankle deep and soothing. Thunder sounded and lightning struck. "Why didn't you save me? you could have stopped them. You could have saved me... you could have saved us" It was Luke. Lightning struck again and all of a sudden he was there infront of me. His hair so deep brown it was almost black. and his eyes sometimes so blue they were like looking into the ocean and other times like looking into liquid silver. But this time they were red... bright blood red. "I couldn't...." I whispered. The lightning flashed again and as subtly as he was there... he was gone. I reached out to touch him but my hand fell through the air. I could only gasp for air. It was painful seeing him there and then suddenly... gone. Lightning was constantly striking but no thunder came with it. "You wouldn'y have been strong enough to have saved me. You wouldn't have been nearly as strong enough to save them." Lightning struck and they were there. Hanging from ropes hanging out of the ceiling. My friends and family... anyone i had ever grown attached to. I noticed that the 'water' smelled... smelled like rust and vinegar and sweat. Lightning flashed and i learned it was blood.Their blood. I couldn't take standing there with out doing something. "Come out and tell me what I could've done!" I demanded. But all i ever got was, "Never... you'll learn over time."
