Taken Dreams - Chapter  5 (Charity's Premonition)

Rebecca had gone out to get her mind off of the
letter opener.
"What the hell is this, The Shining?" Rebecca asked,
remembering The Shining's main character trying to
kill people with an axe after the house posessed him.

Rebecca looked into a store window, and froze in
her tracks. She dropped her purse in shock when she
saw Charity Standish's reflection in the store window
standing behind her. Her eyes were widened and her
face was pale.

"The evil..." Charity said. "It's here."

"Charity what is the matter with you?" asked
Rebecca.

"It can get you in your sleep...." Charity said.

Rebecca whimpered. This was freakier than that incident
with Tabitha's baby.

"Charity what were you talking about the evil can
get me in my sleep-" asked Rebecca.

"I don't remember," said Charity, her premonition
was too confusing.

Rebecca picked her purse up from the wharf and got
out of there as quickly as she could.

Rebecca walked into Eve's office.

"Dr. Russell, I think this sleepwalking thing is
more serious than we though," said Rebecca.

"Did it happen again?" asked Eve. Rebecca nodded.

"I don't even remember doing it this time." said
Rebecca. "Julian put the letter opener in a drawer
and I must have got to it in my sleep because this
morning when I woke up it was lying on the floor
in the hallway."

"This is definitely strange," said Eve.

"I made sure I won't be able to get at it again,
right after I found it I took it and locked it in
pookey's safe." said Rebecca. Rebecca explained
what happened on the wharf and Charity's premonition.

"Everything should be fine as long as you remember
to take those sleep aids like we talked about," said Eve.

"I hope," Rebecca said, getting chills as she tried
not to think about Charity's premonition. Rebecca
left Eve's office.

"This is definitely strange," said Eve. She had a few
patients who were concerned about sleepwalking over
the years but it was definitely unusual for someone
to repeatedly find the same object. Eve had a memory
of Sheridan sleepwalking with a letter opener and
thinking that she had killed Martin Fitzgerald years
ago. "Must be a coincidence." said Eve.

Rebecca walked into Julian's office and jumped when
she found him using the letter opener to open an
envelope.

"I thought I put that in the safe." said Rebecca.

"You must have gotten sidetracked or something, it
was lying right here." said Julian.

"I just wish I knew what is happening to me," said
Rebecca. Rebecca told Julian about Charity's
premonition.

"Not all of Charity's premonitions come true," said
Julian.

"She didn't remember afterwards," said Rebecca. "Just
like this morning when-" Rebecca remembered she hadn't
told Julian.

"When what?" asked Julian.

"Like I didn't when I found the letter opener lying
in the hallway this morning." said Rebecca. Rebecca
wondered what had happened in the hallway the
night before.
