(Y/n) was sitting on a bench playing with her hair, her stomach in knots, and chills running up her spine.  The sun had already begun to set as the blue sky changed to a mixture of light pink and orange up above.  She grabbed a stand on her hair, playing with it to try and keep her nerves down.

It wasn't that she was nervous about being alone in the woods at dawn and night, or even that she has to break up with her boyfriend, but instead, she's afraid of the thing in her head. It is always near and never leaves.  It called out to her earlier in the day, forcing her to leave the location she was in at the time.  The weird thing about that encounter is that (Y/n) hardly remembers it happening.  It was only until now she remembered that indecent happen.

It wasn't long until Tim finally showed up, with Dixie, his dog that only Brian, Jay, and herself know about.  It was probably for the best that way since Alex freaked out when Seth brought his dog to one of the sets.

(Y/n) got up to walk over to him, but froze when she saw it come back to mess with her.  Little voices were in the back of her head, along with random morbid words popping up in her mind.  As Tim and Dixie grew closer to her, she only backed up and began to run in the only direction possible, into the woods. 

Constantly, the sound of the buzzing in her head faded in and out and the sound of Tim yelling and Dixie barking made it worse.  Out of nowhere, (Y/n) started rolling and tumbling down a hill and even with her attempts at stopping herself didn't work. 

Once the got to the bottom, (Y/n) was laying there looking blankly at the sky for a while until the static came back and started to continue to run.  At this point, her vision was slightly blurry and she could hardly even think straight, her adrenalin was the only thing that kept her going.

(Y/n) quickly hid behind a tree and caught her breath, tears were starting to stream down her face and her body shook.  She could taste the blood on her lips and started to walk into one direction that she hoped was the way to get out of the woods.  The static stopped as she sluggishly tried to walk steadily in a straight line.

Eventually, (Y/n)'s body gave out and she fell onto her knees and grabbed her head as the ringing sound filled her head.  When she opened her eyes it was right in front of her, staring down at her weak body as she breathed heavily.

"Please leave me be." (Y/n) pleaded, shedding more tears as her body slowly lowered to the ground.

It disappeared, but the headache was still there and she started to roll down another hill, but it wasn't as long as the first one.  It only took a few seconds before she fell into a decently large pond and her body sunk deeper and deeper in.

Opening her eyes, she saw the shadow of a figure up above her.  Her blood started to mix in with the water and before she knew it, a bullet came at her in lighting speed, right at her head.

Waking up, (Y/n) frantically looked around to see that she was still in the airplane.  The plane had just landed as soon as she had opened her eyes and she only sighed and unbuckled herself from her seat and after the people beside her got their luggage, she did.

It took forever to get past security since every line was stupidly long.  After having that dream, (Y/n) had a headache and the loud noises around her only made it worse.  Returning back here was definitely a huge mistake, (Y/n) thought to herself.

When (Y/n) finally exited the airport, she called her mother's friend, Holly, and waited for her to pick her up.  Her car was sent to her old house, that was a long drive from her mother's house.  It was better that she would actually be around town than be in the countryside where few houses were.

Looking to the left of her, she saw someone, to her, that looked similar to Tim.  (Y/n) quickly went over to the man, but the guy wasn't Tim, not even close when he turned around.

"(Y/n)!"  Holly yelled while running, more like jogging, over to (Y/n) and gave her a tight squeeze.

"It's been so long!  Boy have you grown into a beautiful young lady.  You know, most people look the same from high school and on out, but you, you've changed into a more gorgeous woman."

"Thank you, Holly." (Y/n) said while straightening her clothes and averting her eyes back to the guy, wishing it was Tim.  The dream she had didn't make any sense at all, she broke up with him, she never fell into a pond and ran into the woods like that without Tim and Dixie.

"Oh, you like that eye candy over there?"  (Y/n) started to blush at Holly's question and shook her head.

"No, he just looked familiar to a guy I used to date back in my senior year of high school and throughout most of college.  Well, when I was getting my nursing degree.  The rest of my career I—"

"Ok, enough dilly-dally, I need to take you back to your house so I can go get my pedicure."  A small laugh escaped (Y/n)'s lips, following the old woman back to the car.

Maybe coming back to "The Heart Of Dixie" wasn't bad after all.
