I felt a sense of peace wash over me as I watched it climb higher in the sky.

And then, I heard the voice. It was the deep voice from my dream, booming like thunder.

"You have been chosen," it said. “You have been chosen to save the baby. Remember the stream, and the creatures that dwell within it. They will come for you again, and next time, you must be ready.”

I spun around, but there was no one there. The voice seemed to come from all around me, echoing off

________CHAPTER TWO__________

_______The Mysterious Voice_______

I stood there, frozen in shock, as the voice seemed to reverberate through every cell in my body. I looked around, trying to see if anyone was playing a prank on me, but I was alone in my room. The voice seemed to come from all around me, echoing off the walls.

As I tried to process what was happening, the voice spoke again. "Remember the stream," it said. “Remember the creatures that dwell within it. They will come for you again, and next time, you must be ready.”

I felt a shiver run down my spine as I remembered the dream I had just had. The stream, the creatures, the baby – it had all seemed so real. And now, this mysterious voice was telling me that it was all connected.

I tried to speak, to ask the voice what it meant, but my voice caught in my throat. I was too scared to speak.

The voice seemed to sense my fear, and it spoke again. "Do not be afraid," it said. “You have been chosen for a great purpose. You must be brave and strong, for the journey ahead will be difficult.”

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. I knew that I had to be brave, for the sake of the baby and for the sake of myself.

As I stood there, trying to process everything that was happening, I heard a faint rustling sound coming from outside my room. It sounded like someone was moving around, trying not to be heard.

I felt a surge of adrenaline as I realized that someone – or something – was outside my room. I slowly made my way to the door, trying not to make any noise.

As I reached the door, I hesitated for a moment. What if it was one of the creatures from my dream? What if it was something even worse?

I took a deep breath and slowly turned the handle. The door creaked open, and I peered out into the hallway.

At first, I didn't see anything. But then, I noticed a faint movement out of the corner of my eye. It was a small, shadowy figure, darting around the corner of the hallway.

I felt a surge of fear as I realized that someone – or something – was indeed lurking in the hallway. I slowly stepped out of my room, trying not to make any noise.

As I moved down the hallway, I kept my eyes fixed on the corner where I had seen the figure. I was ready to defend myself if necessary.

But as I turned the corner, I didn't see anything. The hallway was empty.

I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe I had just imagined the whole thing. But then, I heard a faint whispering in my ear.

"We are always watching," it said. “We are always waiting.”

I spun around, but there was no one there. The whisper seemed to come from all around me, echoing off the walls.

I knew then that I was in grave danger. The creatures from my dream were real, and they were watching me. I had to be careful, for I knew that they would stop at nothing to get what they wanted.

And what they wanted, I had no idea. But I was determined to find out.
