McKayla Channing has never been normal, as a child she had strange fevers that came and went and during which things in her room would look as if they'd been through a hurricane. She could feel other people's emotions when they touch her and sometimes hear a thought or two, sometimes things moved without reason, and she always knew when the phone was about to ring and if she tried she could tell who it was. She was bounced from foster home to foster home until she was sixteen and finally found a family that accepted her weirdness and got her put on medication that got rid of the fevers and the odd abilities that were all just, part of her 'overactive imagination' but gave her massive headaches. Ah, the prices we paid. However, on her twenty-first birthday Kayla discovered that alcohol was not her friend.
A massive migraine forced her to leave the club early and on her way she had... terrible nightmares. She had to have the taximan help her from the car and into her home because she was nearly delirious and when she'd finally collapsed onto the bed and fell into sleep the nightmares, the waking dream, the delusions... whatever it was had stopped. However, that was the night she'd met HIM... At first she'd only called out to him because she'd been scared of the dreams... scared to be alone. He'd been confused, this was HIS dream after all... what was SHE doing there. After that night though, it was like she was being pulled into his dreams constantly out of her nightmares which had become vivid and graphically violent... she couldn't fight it. However, her nightmares were coming true... Three women found dead, stabbed to death in back ally ways where they had been dumped from another location.
To make matters worse, the boy knows about the murders too... it seems they share a connection to the killer somehow... but what if the boy shares more than just a connection? What if he IS the killer?
~*~
We could go several places with this... anywhere from the killer being Kayla's biological father and the boy being a dreamer or the other way around. OR if you want to go for split personality? Maybe he's even possessed or the killer is possessed and Kayla and the other guy are descendants of Nephilim (angel human cross breeding)? So many choices...
