In My Dreams (1)

My life was the definition of normal. Same weekly routine, over and over again. But it was all torn apart by one man in my dreams. Of course, the supernatural never deterred me before this, so what could go wrong?

Silence fell over the parking lot. Only the repetitive sounds of your footsteps on the damp ground could be heard. The scent of freshly poured rain filled your nose and made each breath of yours shakier.
You saw it; you saw him.
Light from a street lamp shone down, casting a golden, angelic glow around his form.
It was the same every night. The caramel haired man with a green jacket and jeans always stood there. He would remain motionless, staring off into space until his eyes locked onto you. In a moment, he would appear in front of you. He grabbed your arm firmly, sending a dead shiver down your spine. The iciness of his touch was alarming. Almost like that of a deceased corpse.
His mouth opened to speak words, but nothing came out. His eyes were wide, his mouth moved quickly; he seemed desperate.
“Do you need help?”
Of course he needed help; he always did. The attachment you felt with this man was great, but before the dreams, you had never seen him before.
He nodded fervently. His hand left your arm and he began pointing to the ground. Clues like this had never helped before but you needed to help him.
“The pavement?”
No, he shook his head.
“Under the pavement?”
Closer.
“Are you a ghost?”
You had never felt fear around him, as it was only a dream, and you never felt the need to. Even you knew that dreams weren’t as safe as they seemed, yet you trusted him.
The man shook his head, though you knew he wasn’t exactly human. You could tell when things were… supernatural.
He seemed like a powerful person, but broken down to nothing. And you were a simple girl, dreaming of a man you’d never met before like a crazy person.
“I’m sorry, I want to help.”
He understood, as always. One-way communication was too difficult to master in the short time you two had been meeting. It was roughly around a month ago that this started happening.
You felt the parking lot around you start to fade into a bright white light, and you knew it was time to wake up.
“I’ll be back. I promise, I’ll help you as best as I can.”
You felt reality tear you away. Suddenly, with a burst of energy, the man grabbed your hand and it began to burn. His eyes, filled with sorrow, were seared into your head as you woke up.
The pain in your palm wasn’t just in the dream. Your eyes darted to the flesh that now stung with bright-red carved words.
Winchester.
