Act II: Scene I906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyMOuBqrLf
"Long ago in the days of the ancestors, some of the children of the people were having strange, frightening dreams."906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9bHfhx8IQ
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. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOZHGPJe1o
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.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5WDPXHt48
You need to leave. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsG2wPf4bN
Wait-what? The voice resounds over the house, like it's talking from every angle there is.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFxYhvRcj6
Just go. Pack your things. Leave.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpFZzr269B
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-906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLWZfUfw0A
Wenonah, GO!906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYvsJwj9je
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.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl6EZabQsD
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.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIguEcT6eCy
It'll be okay, Wenonah. Just hurry up.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVgB6vA4e8
The voice is too demanding for my taste. But still I follow the voice like a lost kitten. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOEkQJje8Z
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. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcb4kwqsjZ
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. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYkuYhLRRS
The knock gets louder, more impatient. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAMyGrLiVk
So, I grab my bag, run downstairs, ignoring the hallway and to the exit near the kitchen. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mLgIJ5jgk
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. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAPMo1jP0V
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. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR6OL99irV
I run until I find myself in an empty alleyway.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY8RX1bE6x
Good. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0abKtX3yr2
That voice again. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9RN0BGYaF
"Did you know that the police would be here?" I ask, not sure where to look. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjKmcnSWCl
In a way, yes. I did.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc3xFUgCE7
"And why were they here?" 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOWlPr2wkg
That, the voice pauses. I'm not sure.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNbwgGzAUS
"You're not sure," I repeat. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyUfGot7I8
Wenonah-906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5n3IRYUqB
"It's Wendy," I correct. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly2P6QdTzM
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.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB07wiWG9vP
"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."906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhA8W86P0G
Wen-906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtSqw0aS0y
"There are about thousands of dreamcatchers in that house! All of them glowing! Glowing! Can anyone explain that to me?"906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT3GAqbhAf
Wenon-906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8FTvrurww
"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!"906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGcODDGMuV
Weno-906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDluycFyBDE
"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."906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftWJDMVJsn
Wenonah!906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxN55JsOT8
I stop. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaQsu3i9di
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. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqpmDTWPDp
"Do you- do you understand?"906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyJe1RVYqR
I do, Wenonah, the voice says softly. And I need you to trust me on this. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC25tuV752
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. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWHLondIAX
"Now here are the rules, Wendy," my mother smiles. "One, don't tell anyone about the dreamcatchers, alright?"906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9aiHhY2o5
I nod, not knowing what was going on. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOcnwEaL4n
"Two, don't break any dreamcatchers, okay?" 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9SPe7GePY
"I won't, mom. I promise."906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q99K8lw5H
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.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOjOk0uaCf
"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."906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqTSp75niw
I gulp and I nod.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrMHFkuO2s
"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."906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYJCeKk9Dp
"Why not?" I ask.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHO32iNFWx
"She just won't. So, that time- I need you to trust yourself. I need you to trust the voice."906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jz7zqXytq
The pain in my stomach grows and I puke. I hold my stomach, and take support in the nearby wall. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lr3RwITPz
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.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Tn3raYwg3
That's enough to make me realize that I'm alone. Again. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdHmmXUz4A
