1.57 a.m.
15th August 2011.
London, England.
Kris dreamt in colour.
At least, she presumed she did. When she woke up, she remembered things - flashes of red or gold or green, like they were supposed to mean something.
Tonight, her dream was orange. An orange sky and orange sun; an orange hill, with Frankie stood atop it, her expression something close to resigned.
Darkness spread across the sky and Kris shook her head, panic clawing at her throat. Frankie didn't seem to notice; she didn't move, just stared up at the sky and - waited?
She didn't wait long. The man was shadowed and Kris couldn't see his face, but the darkness crawled across her skin, a warning.
Frankie turned, unsurprised and unmoving. The man laughed but her sister didn't move.
Kris wanted to shout to her, wanted to tell her to run because couldn't she see? Couldn't she feel it, how evil he was?
The knife was sharp and its blade glinted in the sunlight - though there was little sunlight left, Kris noticed, dusk was coming and the shadows deepening-
He moved and Kris woke up, turning her head to look at the clock.
Two in the morning. She frowned and rubbed the heels of her hands against her eyes. There had been a man - and Frankie, was it Frankie? She remembered orange and black and silver, but the images themselves were fading-
Kris shook her head and thumped her pillow into submission before she lay back down.
She slept and didn't dream again.
