Pauley: Well, here's the second chapter guys :-) Claudia's POV this time. Enjoy.

Claudia sighed as she waited on the street corner. She'd been woke up early by that dream again. Always the same dream. She'd been getting closer and closer to the coloured girl with the curly hair. She could see the shouting girl too and she could just about make out a figure on a cliff.

Drawing her coat tighter around herself she surveyed the people passing by her. She could see the thin strap of a spaghetti purse dangling on a womans shoulder. Moving as fast as she could, she snatched it and then took off down the street her feet flying over the concrete with practised ease.

"Stop! Theif!" The woman shouted, chasing after her. Claudia groaned internally and picked up the pace a little, clutching the purse tighter to herself. Unfortunately for her, she hadn't eaten in nearly a week, so she couldn't keep the pace up and stumbled, turning down an alleyway in hopes to get away. Her hopes were dashed when the woman turned in, not two steps behind her and grabbed her arm, causing the red-head to take a tumble, clutching the purse to her chest.

"I'm sorry... please don't call the police!" Claudia begged, struggling to right herself and not stay laying on the ground. The woman glared at her and snatched her purse back. When they're hands brushed it felt as if there had been a lightening storm. Claudia's eyes widened when she saw who it was for the first time. The coloured woman from her dream. The same look of shock was on the woman's face.

"W-Who are you?" She asked, offering her hand down to help Claudia up. Chewing her lip, Claudia debated whether or not to lie, but something in her told her not to.

"C-Claudia." She said, taking the womans hand, preparing for the lightening strike but it never came.

"I'm Leena." Said the woman, pulling her hand back and placing her bag back on her shoulder.
"You've been in my dreams." She said, looking Claudia up and down. Feeling self-conscious, Claudia drew her coat tighter around herself, trying to hide her filthy overly large shirts.
"We've been getting closer." Leena stated and Claudia flushed bright red, almost matching her hair.

"I... I know... I've had the dreams too..." Claudia's voice was quiet, she could barely believe she was meeting the woman of her dreams. It sounded corny, but for once it was true. Leena nodded, chewing her lip as she stared at Claudia, trying to figure her out.

"You're homeless?" She asked after a moment, trying to step towards Claudia. She stepped back quickly, in fear, while nodding. Leena smiled sadly.

"Come on... I'll get you something to eat." Leena offered, trying for a kind smile. Claudia eyed her suspiciously but nodded. After all, it was like she could really afford to turn down a free meal and if this 'Leena' was a murderer, well surely death was better than the life she had. Taking a step forward, Claudia felt the dizzyness wash over her. Leena, since she was now facing the other way, didn't notice a thing.
"I wonder if the others are real too..." Leena said just as Claudia dropped into unconsciousness.

Pauley: Please Review, it really makes my day when people do :-)
