(Katie) Bad dreams...
I had a strange dream last night.
I dreamt that there was this stone building out in the woods where people went to study magic - elegant and new, and much like our high school, yet mysterious at the same time -- and that a male student had gone missing a year ago.
There was a teacher there who was very charming -- I was going there as a student, apparently -- and he was friendly towards me. His cat found me when I was attempting to sneak through the woods late at night.
There was a book that the missing student had owned. I don't remember how I got it -- from his locker, perhaps -- but I remember thinking that the year on it was unusual, 1999. I don't remember why I thought it was unusual at the time, or why it still bothers me.
I dreamed I was going shopping with my mother, and the teacher was there, along with his wife... a strange girl who looked very young for her age. The teacher explained that she was immortal, but she needed a new face -- and then the girl, who seemed incapable of thinking on her own, suddenly took a knife to her cheek and began to slice it open, around the entirety of her head, to peel her face off. I tried to stop her from hurting herself, but I was pushed away, and she continued to cut herself open as easily as if she were peeling an orange.
I dreamed that I collapsed to the floor - in panic, in fear, maybe in paralysis - knocking peanut butter and jelly containers over as I fell.
I dreamed that I crawled away to escape. My mother didn't.
I dreamed that I was fleeing through the woods, and that he was looking for me, because he wanted another girl to be his forever.
Then the alarm woke me up.
