3rd Person POV

The air is crispy cool

Snow covers the ground and sleet falls from the sky

Voices echo through the night

"Go, go, go!" A young girl's voice yells

"We gotta get out of here!"

"HELP!" A scream rips through the night

"AHH!" Sadie screams, springing up in bed

She breathes heavily, putting a hand over her chest

Landon runs in with a bat

"What's wrong?!" Landon asks, holding the bat up

Sadie gives him a look before going back to concentrating on her breathing

"Oh..." Landon whispers, putting the bat down. "Hey, it's okay."

Landon sits next to Sadie and puts an arm around her

"It was just a nightmare, Sarah." Landon says

"Sadie." Sadie whispers

"What?" Landon asks

"You can call me Sadie, Landon." Sadie tells him, taking her hand away from her chest

"Are you okay?" Landon asks

"I think I am now." Sadie tells him. "Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me." Landon says

"People normally don't stay." Sadie whispers, looking down

"I can't leave." Landon says, shrugging. Sadie looks to him. "Aren't we like, best friends, or whatever."

Sadie cracks a smile

"Totally." Sadie says

Sadie sits there, staring into space

"Uh oh." Landon says

Sadie looks over at him

"What?" Sadie asks

"I know that face." Landon says. "That's the classic Sadie-thinking-face. What's on your mind?"

"Well for starters, I'm coming up with a way to get rid of that face." Sadie says

"Oh come on." Landon says. "Seriously though."

"It's something that happened in my nightmare..." Sadie says

"You didn't die, right?" Landon asks. "I heard that can be really dangerous to you in real life if you die in a dream."

"No, I didn't die." Sadie says. "It's just...I think there was someone with me that night."

"You mean the night you came here?" Landon asks

"Yeah." Sadie says

"Is that even possible?" Landon asks. "I mean, you came here alone."

"Maybe I didn't..." Sadie whispers

"We should go talk to Hope and Dr Saltzman." Landon says, getting up

"No." Sadie says, grabbing his arm. "Not yet. Please. I don't know what this means yet and the last thing I need is for Dr Saltzman to chalk it up as 'Sadie's imagination'."

"Okay." Landon says, sinking back next to her. "Whenever you're ready, then. Until then, I'll help you out."

"Thanks." Sadie whispers
