      It was that dream again. The dream I've  

been having for years now, and yet, I still don’t 

know who she is, and why she’s always in my 

dream.

      In my dream, I’m always In the middle of 

nowhere. All I can see is darkness, which seems 

to cover the whole world.

      Then, I can see a lady who’s holding 

something out towards me, something that 

shines brightly through the darkness. It’s an 

old locket. As soon as I reach for it, the lady 

disappears and I wake up from that dream.

       At first, I thought it was just a weird 

dream that people have sometimes, but as 

the time passed on, that dream became more 

and more vivid, and I've dreamed it more 

often.

      It was the night of my seven-tenth birthday 

when everything changed.

      I had the dream as usual, but it was 

different from what I had been dreaming. When 

the lady disappeared, there were a sudden flash 

of pictures going through my head. An old 

house, a couple, birth of a baby, a street sign, 

the old locket, and then, darkness again.

      The next day, I went around places to find 

the house. When I have finally found the house, 

I slowly walked towards it. The house was pretty 

old, as I saw in my dream. Half fearful and half 

curious, I opened the door and went inside.

      Once I was inside, I looked around. It 

looked like no one had been living for a while.  

As I was looking around, I could see a bright 

light coming out from somewhere. I followed 

the light to a small room. 

The light was coming out from the old locket. 

As soon as I reached for it, it stopped shining. 

      When I opened the locket, there was a 

picture of the couple that I saw in my dream, 

and a baby as well. As I looked closer, I knew 

straight away who that baby was. It was me.

      Nothing made sense. Who were they?

My head spun. I couldn't think. I desperately 

wanted to know what was going on. 

      I ran towards the door, and ran out with 

the locket held tightly in my hand. I ran, ran 

and ran until I was out of breath,and before I 

knew it, I was already home. It was getting 

dark already.  

      When I was in front of the house, I 

hesitated, but went in since I had to talk to her 

so desperately. 

   "Grandma" I called out as I entered.

   "I'm here!" she answered from the kitchen.

   "Do you have a minute?" I asked.

   "Sure, what is it, Jess?" she answered.

   "I think it's about my parents." I hesitated 

for a second, but managed to say the words.
