Because it felt so real.
What did?
The dream going on around her.
For the life of her, she couldn’t wake up, or stop having this one dream. The whole thing had her locked in, and she was helpless to stop it.
As she wandered the grounds behind the castle, she heard her name being called.
It was so weird.
The male voice was unfamiliar, but yet, she followed it.
Honestly, she couldn’t seem to help herself. The pull was that great.
As she moved into the trees, and down a horse trail, she saw a cloaked figure not that far ahead of her.
It looked masculine, but she couldn’t tell. It was hazy in her dream, like there was a filter on.
Only, she followed, curious to see where he was leading her to.
“Who are you?” she called, and there was only laughter as her answer.
Well, that was ominous.
Gabby kept talking to the shadowy figure.
“Where are we going?” she asked, putting her faith in this figure.
She heard the voice answer.
‘To show you something.’
Ummm…
Okay.
This whole thing was weird because the voice sounded like it was coming from the wind, but it also sounded like someone was whispering in her ear.
All at once.
The way she had goosebumps, she could have sworn that it was behind her.
So.
Damn.
Close.
Only, instead of being afraid, she kept following, not fearing it for some unexplained reason.
To be tailing this shadow was crazy, but here she was, doing just that.
As they seemed to be walking forever, she wasn’t able to catch up with the cloaked figure. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t reach him.
Not if she ran.
Not if she jogged.
