Act II: Scene I1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUJ9Y6Qlpu
"Long ago in the days of the ancestors, some of the children of the people were having strange, frightening dreams."1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H2QzbcPdJ
I clutched onto the red dreamcatcher with all the might I've got. It's forming red marks on my hand. But the glow it's emitting is brighter than any red I've ever seen. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86UweILnvq
The dreamcatchers, they're glowing still. And there are million of thoughts whizzing past my head but not one that could reason with what I see right in front of me. I'm tempted to touch but instinct tells me not.1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsSejr6XRP
You need to leave. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RmiwGda91
Wait-what? The voice resounds over the house, like it's talking from every angle there is.1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5fWbzcLaR
Just go. Pack your things. Leave.1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTHFZ4LGrQ
I hear it again and I look around. There's no one. I look down at the dreamcatchers, the glow- soft and steady, and for a second I think that maybe-1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiUnrjhsmF
Wenonah, GO!1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cTULybUiB
I don't think twice. The urgency in that voice is too strong to ignore. So I run upstairs and throw the things I think I'll require. A toothbrush, a couple of clothes, and money. I take in my mother's credit card, her diary, And for some reason I can't explain, I throw in a few dreamcatchers as well.1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZkviYBFdF
To be honest, I don't even know for sure why I am packing my things when I don't have any reason to run, when I don't have anywhere to run.1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7MazoHE9P
It'll be okay, Wenonah. Just hurry up.1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLn9ZYi0HH
The voice is too demanding for my taste. But still I follow the voice like a lost kitten. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeG7ag1xIq
I'm done with getting my things ready and before I can hear the voice order me around again- there's a knock on the door. And my heartbeat quickens. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1HamXx1YM
It could be anyone out there. The police, the neighbors, the lawyer. It could be anyon And yet no one would be able to explain the glowing dreamcatchers or this voice that I hear, other than accusing me of witchcraft. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3IIpPehhB
The knock gets louder, more impatient. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ieA7HvhRU
So, I grab my bag, run downstairs, ignoring the hallway and to the exit near the kitchen. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUGoIiDoUk
When I'm out, I don't wait for the flashing red lights to notice me. I'm running. I don't know where to. Or what for. But I am. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYEoe1yDUr
And I allow myself to look back just once, and the house is completely dark. Like no one lives there. Like no one ever lived there. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ii6xSv5Cw
I run until I find myself in an empty alleyway.1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKTepqbSrh
Good. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP39Mb3kaHV
That voice again. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPGBBchQP3
"Did you know that the police would be here?" I ask, not sure where to look. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldPVrm0BVL
In a way, yes. I did.1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAVQg43bVe
"And why were they here?" 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx2lflD8mX
That, the voice pauses. I'm not sure.1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jdwYfvAht
"You're not sure," I repeat. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIf07tb0jO
Wenonah-1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcaIkMKha6
"It's Wendy," I correct. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CQ2ge5kYe
Wenonah, the voice continues. You needed to get out of there. I helped you do that. You don't know what was going to happen.1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA4dtmuIzT
"I don't even know what just happened!" I exclaim, a bit too loud for a person talking to herself. "They were glowing! The earthquake. Everything. I don't know."1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRSXuLY59z
Wen-1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarPzgtecdn
"There are about thousands of dreamcatchers in that house! All of them glowing! Glowing! Can anyone explain that to me?"1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZdClCFIS5
Wenon-1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsMgLp6ul2
"There has to be a reason, right? Maybe I'm hallucinating. I'm seeing things and I'm hearing voices. I must be going crazy!"1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pAyaMunuE
Weno-1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8euBjXNuAG
"Do you think craziness is genetics? I mean my mom was crazy, wasn't she? I could easily inherit the madness. Oh god, I'm going crazy."1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MmLizrYzX
Wenonah!1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6nOZ5SHmc
I stop. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw2OkeiTrA
It's okay to be scared, the voice reassures. And I understand things went too fast for you to grab hold of what was going on, or even the time to panic about it. I understand. And I'm sorry. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7000UhDXc
"Do you- do you understand?"1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebU2CTft2v
I do, Wenonah, the voice says softly. And I need you to trust me on this. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdglCDAf6B
Before I could say a word, a flashback hits me in the guts. It's so painfully physical that I cry out in anguish. My stomach hurts, my head spins, and I can't seem to stand straight. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsiXrPwxQz
"Now here are the rules, Wendy," my mother smiles. "One, don't tell anyone about the dreamcatchers, alright?"1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYlyUY929P
I nod, not knowing what was going on. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7bTp3Bjro
"Two, don't break any dreamcatchers, okay?" 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIaBm14vRm
"I won't, mom. I promise."1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS5OfknfB6
She smiles. "Now, this one's a bit important." She bends down on her knees so that we're on eye-level with each other.1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMM1KxlvTm
"Don't trust anyone with the dreamcatchers," she tells me. "No one. Whether I'm dead, alive or lost. Don't let anyone make you use them."1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnFnIzytTR
I gulp and I nod.1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVFmhCEMuC
"Wendy," she whispers, bringing me close for a hug. "There's more to the dreamcatchers than you know. It'll protect you, guide you, and save you from harm. And there will come a time, in the future, you'll find yourself alone and scared. Mom won't be there that time."1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu8rTJzbjb
"Why not?" I ask.1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6MCudlFu3
"She just won't. So, that time- I need you to trust yourself. I need you to trust the voice."1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p2bQxdg5T
The pain in my stomach grows and I puke. I hold my stomach, and take support in the nearby wall. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv4EdCdSKh
I vomit out the pain, one by one. Until the pain's gone completely. I look at the empty alley and look to see if someone saw me. There's not a soul in sight.1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ErKSdk8D
That's enough to make me realize that I'm alone. Again. 1088Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaDRRsD8Q6
