color. She wondered if she had been rehashing a particularly unpleasant argument that she still thought about sometimes – it had happened after she had discovered that Jo had cheated on her.
‘Then there was something else…’ Daniel said.
Sarah snapped her eyes to his. From his tone of voice she guessed that if any of her dreams had been prophetic this one was going to be the one.
‘There was a dream set at the stone circle. It may have been a vision, but I can’t tell whether it was from the past or the future,’ he said.
‘What happen ed in the dream?’ Sarah asked.
She was relieved she had no t dreamt anything too embarrassing, or sexy, so she felt free to ask away.
‘ It was very brief.’ Daniel said, ‘There were four people tied up in the center of the stone circle and a dark shape was approaching – I think it was a man with his hood raised. He was dressed all in black, and it was night time – the details were hazy. There was a full moon. Then the dream shifted and we were kissing…’
Sarah felt her cheeks heat and hid her face in a pillow. Daniel ran kisses over her arm until she finally gave in and looked back at him.
‘I really don’t remember anything about them,’ Sarah said apologetically. ‘Was there anything else? About the stone circle,’ she added pointedly.
‘Well, it did feel different to the other dreams; you weren’t in it for a start. Other than that that’s all the details there were,’ he said.
‘So it was the full moon,’ Sarah said, and saw Daniel nod, ‘and there were four bodies, which is how many we found under the stone.’
Again Daniel nodded.
‘So either I was making stuff up based on what we discovered, what I thought might have happened, or I caught a glimpse of what already happened, or…’
‘You saw something that is yet to happen,’ Daniel finished.
This time it was Sarah who nodded.
‘How can we tell?’ she asked.
‘I don’t think we can . I would like to try tapping into your dreams again, another night, to see if we can discover any more,’ Daniel said.
‘That’s fine,’ Sarah said.
It was not really fine, it was embarrassing having him in her head, but what else was she to do? She could not remember them herself, and if the dreams might help Daniel discover something useful she would just have to lump the indignity of having her mind read.
‘I wonder if the dark man you saw was the crow that was watching us,’ she muttered.
‘It wouldn’t surprise me,’ Daniel said.
‘ In case it was a prophetic dream we should probably watch the stone circle at the next full moon – do you know how long away it is?’ she asked.
‘I’m not sure, but I will have a look at the moon again tonight and try to figure it out,’ Daniel said. ‘I had an idea about what might be going on. There might be something, or someone, buried under the stone circle, and whoever killed those people might be trying to release it. I thought maybe we could go back down there and I could try to see if I could sense anything,’ Daniel said.
‘But what if the crow is watching again? What if he sends another army of dead after us - or something worse?’ Sarah asked.
‘We should strengthen ourselves first, tonight – fancy going out?’ he asked, and gave her that wicked smile.
Sarah nodded again, this time with enthusiasm.
She looked into Daniel’s dark eyes as he extended his hand and brushed his finger-tips along her jaw, igniting those now familiar tingles she got whenever he touched her, then her pulse quickened as his face moved closer and his kissed her gently on the lips. She moved her body closer to his and she felt his arms tighten around her. She laid her head on his chest and basked in his embrace, feeling comforted and loved.
Sarah lay there for a full five minutes before she started to feel restless and hungry. She raised her head and met those beautiful eyes.
‘So… blood, ’ she
