Melrae

A house outside of Washington DC


The dark figures chased after her closer and closer they came. Running
through the woods was her only hope. They couldn't know these woods better
than her. Just as she got to the shore where her boat was she fell into
a large dark hole ..............................


"HELP!!!!" Megan awoke screaming startled that she had that
dream/nightmare again was she reliving a time when she was taken by 'dark
things' that had tried to take her two years ago to be taken a room then
forced to learn to kill with a thought. Megan got up looking at the clock
2:14am "no use trying to sleep now I'm awake for the rest of the night."
She thought "may as well go for a run or do some work it. was a good
time to be awake the city was still asleep, except for that one. The one
with those nightmares. "Mmmmm this could be a good time to practice"
Megan thought this dreamer could use help and if it helped her relax enough
to sleep too then so much the better.


Megan sat in the middle of her living room cross legged, rolled her
neck and let her mind seek out the one having those nightmares. After a
while she found him. Now that Megan could see him lying on an old beat-up
leather sofa in the darkened room. Wait? What is this, a thread stretching
out of him to somewhere else. Hmmm do I follow the thread and get who or
what ever is at the end to help him or do I help him? A troubled moan from
the man in question settled all doubts. Help him worry later." Megan
thought and for one of the first time in her almost twenty years she felt
a new feeling like this could be a big mistake. "Nonsense," she
thought "how can helping others be trouble" she told her inner
voice and it shut up, saying "Just watch and learn." Megan prepared
her self for delving into this man's dream she took a deep breath and entered
his sleeping mind. What she found there scared even her it seemed to be
old fears, new fears and a ton of guilt just swirling around this man and
he was about ready to just give up and let eternal sleep take him. Megan
shot through the maelstrom of fear and guilt to this man who was bowing
under the pressure of it all. Megan summoned all of her strength to be
able to reach him.


She walked up to him and said, "Stop this and let it all go can't
you see if this goes on it will kill you?"


The Man turned to her and looked surprised he straightened up a bit
and said, "Who are you?"


Megan smiled and thought good if he can still question things here I
may be able to help him. To The Man she said "My name is not important
what is important is that you stop. This Maelstrom of hurt and fear that
is killing you do you realize that you could possibly die tonight do you
want that? If you do just say so and I'll go and follow that line to where
ever it goes and let what ever it is at the other end know that your gone."


This shook The Man a bit "what line." He said.


"Here I'll show you. This is not a good night to die." Megan
said and took his hand. "Now traveling out of your body can be a bit
unnerving the first time so we should exchange names so we can call to
each other all right?" he nodded in agreement " Fine, my name
is Megan and yours?"


"Mulder" he said "What is your first name?" she
asked.


"I don't use it so just call me Mulder." He answered.


"All right then Mulder now follow me and stay close. If you lose
me follow the line all right?" Megan instructed


"Yes I understand Megan" Mulder answered ready to begin.


Then it hit both of them. A blast of pure hatred. Thick, black, and
heavy began to descend upon them renewing the Maelstrom now seeking to
end both of their lives. The prediction she had earlier reaches full comprehension.
Someone or something did not want her to find this Mulder. Megan could
almost feel the fear in the hatred that it would fail and Megan would win.
That was just what Megan intended to do. "Listen to me Mulder. We
have to stay in physical contact until this hatred goes other wise we could
both die. Do you understand?" Megan yelled over the rising winds.


Mulder nodded his head in acknowledgment.


Megan prepared to fight this the only way she know how by taking the
fight to the source. Megan noticed that Mulder has moved to take hold of
her shoulders. "Mulder we're taking this to the source. this could
get scary if we lose we die we have to win do you understand." Megan
asked seriously her gray eyes piercing to his haunted hazel eyes.
