Act II: Scene I1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMebdg7yJW
"Long ago in the days of the ancestors, some of the children of the people were having strange, frightening dreams."1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FDsKaEnJJ
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. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FV7dcVbF2
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.1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYead2kAlR
You need to leave. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIgYiZpm1A
Wait-what? The voice resounds over the house, like it's talking from every angle there is.1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoDhpJ0S9Z
Just go. Pack your things. Leave.1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB4tfBEDNT
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-1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIe6H00hFL
Wenonah, GO!1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8pfluigAq
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.1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGtYTaaPIf
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.1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oGdkkVpaD
It'll be okay, Wenonah. Just hurry up.1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkESGcNwtW
The voice is too demanding for my taste. But still I follow the voice like a lost kitten. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1856blBEPk
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. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KVAlIwQAW
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. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnZe2K4JFL
The knock gets louder, more impatient. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7yFW8LhVG
So, I grab my bag, run downstairs, ignoring the hallway and to the exit near the kitchen. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qJZyHspFM
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. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbitGwGrRV
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. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpVxNOLDxy
I run until I find myself in an empty alleyway.1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN06pzyCWZq
Good. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNNWdXEM9p
That voice again. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kTHml1CnW
"Did you know that the police would be here?" I ask, not sure where to look. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSe4pGs9cW
In a way, yes. I did.1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas76q6nIN0
"And why were they here?" 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bz4wk1IBP
That, the voice pauses. I'm not sure.1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUwVCwOzeI
"You're not sure," I repeat. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptVBk4qrHF
Wenonah-1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRSVLzeFzh
"It's Wendy," I correct. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uYzMTPbxa
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.1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv4PCRVVHu
"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."1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbE9YdKnVC
Wen-1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAVxvHrjnN
"There are about thousands of dreamcatchers in that house! All of them glowing! Glowing! Can anyone explain that to me?"1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv5hncsW3M
Wenon-1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8nEu1dBYT
"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!"1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hTor0NbhC
Weno-1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1xMsL5ogn
"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."1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40UYrPxewx
Wenonah!1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcrExFXyaU
I stop. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EcJf4G0lL
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. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrlVkCqUah
"Do you- do you understand?"1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExTEQ8pnoV
I do, Wenonah, the voice says softly. And I need you to trust me on this. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqGFS9bUDS
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. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgRrcjwivs
"Now here are the rules, Wendy," my mother smiles. "One, don't tell anyone about the dreamcatchers, alright?"1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZW3bL7ZL5
I nod, not knowing what was going on. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxOATHhYfo
"Two, don't break any dreamcatchers, okay?" 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HWXnvKCK9
"I won't, mom. I promise."1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mCw67rn0C
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.1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLCM9wXmKH
"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."1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq55V5XBAiJ
I gulp and I nod.1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFp9I7DIUF
"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."1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjpm7COWAx
"Why not?" I ask.1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk6tGWPJAy
"She just won't. So, that time- I need you to trust yourself. I need you to trust the voice."1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99UXsIoo3M
The pain in my stomach grows and I puke. I hold my stomach, and take support in the nearby wall. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKOXr4D0IU
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.1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejbbhGfBQU
That's enough to make me realize that I'm alone. Again. 1125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzGwfIUqEL
