Distant sirens echo, I feel my chest getting heavy. My skin ripples with goosebumps as the wind blows over it. My hair is wet yet I feel warmth surrounding it. My lungs struggling to absorb the air, I taste something sweet slipping down my lip.
Is that rain?
The heaviness in my chest is becoming unbearable.
Why can't I open my eyes?
I feel slight tugs on my body. A deep husky voice that sounds muffled demanding 'stay with me'.
Hardly faced by this voice I only see darkness, beautiful yet terrifying darkness. It has an overwhelming sense of peace about it. A peace I have never felt before.
Beginning to feel comfortable with the peace now surrounding me like a tender hug, I feel the pressure on my chest lift.
Am I dreaming?
No. It feels too real.
Mom taught me that if you're in a dream you cannot feel pain. I always thought it was a silly thing to think but I finally had the chance to see for myself.
Agh... What was that?
Wait, I haven't even...
Aagh...
I feel a sharp pain entering my chest. With it, it leaves a sense of heat behind. As quickly as it came it disappears allowing the heat to stay a little longer before it leaves.
For a moment the sound of sirens deepens and fades again.
"Clear...."
I feel another sharp pain shoot through me and the heat travels through my whole body trying to escape, almost like it was being kept captive inside me.
I hear a faint voice "Not responding, again".
Something is wrong... I'm not dream-
"Clear......"
The sharp pain intensifies as my whole body feels like it is being consumed with fire yet at the same time I feel like I'm floating in a never-ending cold darkness.
What is going on?
Okay, think Sage, what was the last thing you remember?
Think...
...Breathe...
...Do something...
Anything!
Rain... I remember the rain...
The rain beating on the windshield...

"Sage..."
"Sage, are you okay?"
I open my eyes and see Dr. Spencer staring at me like she is waiting for a reply.
"What?" I bark at her and notice my cheeks wet.
"Are you okay?" She asks in a quiet manner.
"I'm fine." I say while I wipe my cheeks with the palms of my hands.
"Sage I can't help you if you're not honest with me... Tell me what did you see?"
I look down at my hands; I quickly brush them against my pants.
