Disturbing Dream

[tinyjo]

I was with 2 other girls - one called Rachel who I used to know at school, and a dark haired Italian girl (don't know her name). We had desperately needed to do something and (foolishly) called up the devil and arranged for him to do it in exchange for some sort of servitude pact. He looked like one of those Italian villains with a pointy beard and sharp suit. Anyway, he was an utter bastard and we all really hated him. He decided we were going to Russia the next day. He took rooms for us all in the Hotel Breakfast and then said we could please ourselves for the rest of the evening and he'd meet us in terminal 3 of Gatwick. I got to know a couple of the kitchen staff - Rosa and her brother Sam and we had quite a nice evening with a bottle of wine, although Rosa left to meet a man 1/2 way through so I stayed chatting to Sam. The next morning Sam dashed in and woke me up, practically hysterical. Rosa was dead - violently murdered. I went to see the body and it was obvious to me that the devil had done it. I was so angry and upset and frustrated that I told Sam exactly what was going on, then had to leave so as not to be too late to Gatwick. I had to run and run to get there on time. We went back into a bit of the staff only bit and the devil started taunting us. I lost my temper and told him to stay away from the Hotel Breakfast (a bit late!) He seemed rather shaken and shut up. He then announced that as none of us had suitable clothes (there was a big discussion about thermal socks) we were going to have to go back to town to shop before leaving. We got on a bus and headed towards the shops. The bus pulled up on a deserted hill by a bus stop. We were the only guys on the bus. Suddenly I saw Sam coming up the road. Instead of looking boyish and funny, he looked tired and determined and hard. I grabbed the girls and jumped out. Sam got on the bus and killed the devil.

Almost worse than anything else in the dream was the fact that it was my fault that Sam had turned into a warrior like that. He had become hard and unreachable and strong and lost his innocence and that was my fault, both for calling up the devil and telling Sam about it.
