She blinked, but the vision remained the same. She didn't understand what happened, but then dreams didn't always make sense. She turned away and glanced up the stairs where the dark-haired women had reached the top and disappeared down the hall. Briar hurried after her.
The flame from candle the woman held flickered wildly as her sure steps took her down the corridor but then she suddenly froze and turned as if she’d sensed Briar’s presence. Perhaps the woman did, but it was obvious by her frown that her sight failed her and thought she remained alone.
The woman continued down the hallway halting in front of one of the rooms and opened the door. Briar scooted in quickly behind her afraid to be shut out if her dream didn’t allow her to open the door and follow. The woman peeked once more into the hall then closed the door and leaned against the hard wood, her chest rising and falling as if frightened or out breath.

Yo Ho Ho and Buttered Rum Shortbread, a delectable summer short story, where the recipe for mayhem will stir up all kinds of trouble for Jack and Sirena in Grimm Nitch.
Sirena's mother returns home after abandoning her family fifteen years prior, with a Merrow Prince, expecting Sirena to leave her home to live with him beneath the sea.
Meeting another Merrow is surreal but swimming away to live happily ever after in an ocean world is not as sweetly tempting as Sirena once dreamed. Where the mer-prince goes, Jack cannot follow. Giving up the life she has with Jack is like giving up sweets—forever.
At the Buccaneer Bash, the prince will reveal what he's cooked up for Sirena, but he's about to underestimate Jack's skills, who has no trouble preparing a plan of his own.

I know…it’s a dream, but I think I’d be trying to wake up instead of following her. lol
I hear that lucid dreaming is pretty amazing for people who can control it.
Giving the commenting a try again–signed into WP this week. Fingers crossed. 🙂
Teresa,
It posted! Yay!
Okay – quite intriguing. I can’t wait to find out what the dream is all about and where it all leads.
Iris,
So glad you’re intrigued.
It definitely has a gothic vibe.
Just a tad. 🙂
