Colby drops me back off at my apartment after the beach. I walk through the door thinking I'm going to see that damn ouija board again, but thankfully it's not here. I go into my bathroom to have a shower, wash my hair and take my makeup off. I decide I'm just going to have an early night tonight so I put on some comfy clothes and put supernatural on my laptop. 3 episodes later and I begin to get sleepy so I turn the laptop off and go to sleep

Dream
I'm in the park with Sam, Jake, Colby and Corey. There's a pic nic table with a tree branch on it. I go to sit down at the table, then I see a woman come towards me. I turn to look at the boys who have now vanished and I soon realise I am no longer sat at the table or even in the park. Everything turns black except for the woman who's in front of me wearing a white dress
"Who are you?" I ask the woman
"Be very careful, you have a lot of negative energy surrounding you. Your friend Corey shares the same negative energy"
"What negative energy?" I respond to her confused. The woman gets closer to me
"The old man with the top hat" she says "speak to Corey he will know. You my dear hold a lot more energy than you realise. You could be the one who helps this group and the old man doesn't like that" the woman says in a matter of fact type of way "your mom and brother will protect you and your friends, but you need to be careful" suddenly the darkness fades and I'm back in the park with the boys. I look over and see a figure next to a tree staring at me. This figure is tall and wearing a top hat, but I can't make out his face. I then hear his evil laugh sending chills right down my spine and a feeling of not being able to breathe. The scene in front of me fades and all I see is a white light.
End of dream

I bolt up wide awake, my eyes are stinging. I put my hand to my face to only then realise that I must have been crying. I look over at the time- 3:30am. I debate whether to text the group chat or not to see if anyone is awake, but I doubt anyone will be, I mean who in there right mind would be awake at 3:30 in the morning? So instead I decide to go onto to Twitter, that's when I see Colby is awake.

Colbys POV
I wake up after this weird dream where this lady in a white dress spoke to me saying that two of my friends are in danger. She said that she was going to warn one of them before he got to her. Who is he? And what friend is she going to warn? 'Come on Colby it was just a dream' I think to myself. I look over at the clock and see it's 3:29. Knowing everyone will be asleep and I probably won't be able to go back to sleep now, I go to Twitter and put out a tweet asking for some questions. Rose replies to my tweet 'why is she awake?'  I wonder to myself. I send her a message to see if she wants to face time, which she agrees to.

Rose's POV
"We were at a park and then it went black and this woman in a white dress appeared..." I tell Colby the dream I had
"Weird. What else did this woman say?" he asks me
"How there's this old man with a top hat and I need to take to Corey. Oh and after the woman went I could see this figure staring at me and he was wearing a top hat. This all had to a weird coincidence right? My own fault for watching supernatural before bed really"
"She said to speak to Corey?" Colby asks, his voice laced with concern
"Well yeah but I'm friends with Corey so obviously my mind was just giving names"
"I'm not sure this is just all in your head row. I'm coming over to yours now, when Corey is awake we will go over to see him"
"I've never had dreams like this before.owl I know I have nightmares about Rhys and his death but that's because I was there and I'm just recreating it in my head, but I've never had a dream like this one where it felt real, but it's all in my head. I've keep having creepy dreams"  I sigh
"How many have you had?" Colby asks
"One every night since the Queen Mary"
"Why didn't you tell one of us?" Colby rubs his hand on his face
"I just didn't think it was a big deal" I shrug in response
"Your coming with me to that shop I told you about. There's a woman there who claims to be a medium, she might be able to tell you why your having these dreams"
"Colbs your probably thinking way to much into this. It's just a dream" I sigh
"Well let's see what the others say in the morning"
"Colbs it is the morning" I chuckle
"You know what I mean" Colby laughs along with me "but I'm going be over in 15 minutes"
"Fine" I groan knowing I'm not going to change his mind "I'll see you in a bit"

I put on some leggings and a jumper and then I put the kettle on to make both Colby and I a hot chocolate. Not long later there's a knock on the door. I open it up to see Colby in sweats
"Good morning" Colby cheerfully says
"Way to early" I mumble walking back to the kitchen to get our hot chocolates
"Well neither of us were going back to sleep so may as well be awake together am I right" Colby takes a mug from me and we both sit on the couch facing each other
"So this woman at the shop. How did you meet her?" I take a sip from my drink feeling weird about Colby knowing other girls, 'am I jealous? No I barely know him and anyway we're just friends' I shake those thoughts out of my head
"When we lived in our old house Brennen found this creepy ass ouija board and we took it to this shop. The woman told us about the history of that particular type of board. I then went back to buy some candles and a spell book"
"Wait are you being serious? You bought a spell book? Don't tell me you actually used it?" my eyes are almost popping out of my head from shock
"Well the spells I cast didn't work so they aren't real. Like I did a spell trying to find love and here I am single as ever" Colby shrugs
"Your actually so dumb" I laugh
"Hey" Colby nudges my leg
"Colbs you do realise if you don't know what your doing then the spell your casting out can go horribly wrong. You could be casting a fortune spell but instead it could come out as a spell go to be unluckily with money. So you may have done the spell wrong and sealed you fate as being single" I shake my head then take another sip
"How do you know this?" he asks
"Rhys and I did a lot of research into this kinda stuff. I strangely felt comfortable, as if I could do those spells, I never did but yeah"
"Is your joint channel with Rhys still up?" Colby asks
"Errm yeah, but I made a promise to him that I wouldn't ever explore an abandoned building again"
"Why don't you start posting on your own channel?"
"Honestly I don't know what to post. I guess I kinda lost my creative spark" I shrug finishing off my drink
"Just wait until we move into our house. Things will be crazy" Colby laughs.
