Nightmares1
Chapter 12
Standing at the top of the stairs Sara hears a scream that sends her little seven year old heart beating frantically in her chest. She races down the stairs, terror clawing through her; making her steps heavy and awkward so that she trips and falls down the last few stairs. Pushing back to her feet she moves towards the dining room, the complete stillness of the house after that single scream making her hesitate to make the final few steps that would bring her to the door. Trembling, Sara turns the handle and the door swings slowly open. Suddenly the little girl is drowning in blood, clogging her nose and tasting like copper pennies in her mouth and down her throat.3
Gasping, Sara sits upright in bed, her hands clawing at her throat. Slowly she wakes up, the coppery taste of blood fading from her mouth. Sliding her legs over the side of the bed she slumps forward, laying her forehead in her hands and drawing deep steadying breathes. The dream of her Mother’s death was always the same, even if real life had happened differently. Glancing over at the clock Sara groans, realizing it was only 3 a.m. Reaching for the bottle beside the bed, she shakes a single pill out and takes it with a mouthful of water from the glass sitting next to the bottle. Lying back down against the cotton sheets Sara forces her eyes to close. As the drug takes effect, Sara sinks into the solitude of nightmare free sleep.4
Chapter 25
Sitting in her jeep Sara stares at the big empty looking house. Even against the bright and shiny day the house looked gloomy and broken down. She could understand why the local neighborhood kids liked to use this house to test each others courage. The Agency had received information from a trusted source that the house was more then just gloomy and old looking. Sighing softly, Sara reaches across the seat and gets her bag.6

I lost my last comment. That is so maddening!!!!
I just wanted to know basically how old Sara was now. I think it is important to know how long ago her mother's death was.
Also I had a feeling that she has a paranormal ability. What I want to find out from your story (if I'm right) is if she had it before or after her mother's death?
Just my thoughts lol

Thank you, that's a very interesting way of approaching it. Yes she does have paranormal ability; I've been trying to figure out how to work it in. Do you mind if I use that idea? I really like it.
