Contact with that man was when it started, she decided. Dressed all in black, his arms folded behind him. None of that was so out of the ordinary. But those eyes of dark auburn stayed with her.

That?s when it changed. She thought for a moment that she had lost a moment of time. She fumbled for her watch to check the time once more. When she arrived home, it was already late. As she prepared for bed, she pondered again those eyes. Once she finally found sleep, her dreams were strange, seeming so real and beyond just imagination.

Before dawn, she awoke and found herself questioning so many things, not just about her place but her life. She felt that everything had changed, and nothing felt the same. She tried to go back to sleep, finding those dreams still strange. It was alien, something that had found an opening in her she herself was not aware of. In the dream, the form simply pulled a string.

She awoke, and prepared to go back to her life, but it felt like another world now; some other time, some other place. She places her hands on her vanity, shaking her head, looking into the reflection of her own eyes. Her brunette hair was combed forcefully as she tried to make sense of all of this. She tries to remember the familiar sights and sounds as she goes through her day. People who had been friends for years seem like strangers suddenly.

As she returns home at the end of the day, she passes a shop and picks up a present for herself. She gets home, cleaning herself once more before placing on the silken nightgown. She opened the window and looked out in to the near full moon night, letting the silver light shine down upon her.

?Sleep and dream is all I crave,? she realizes. Her mind traveling to this other world. ?To my master, I become a slave. Until we meet again, another day.?

The words she thought echoed through her mind, the silence she thought was as loud as war around her. She had found love at last, something pure and meaningful as she gathered those few precious things that were dear to her. It was decided, and she acted. Now, it was to find that man once more.
