herself, this is a
cool dream. Never saw a castle before. When her feet touched
ground she started walking. The closer she got to where Rosa and
Casey stood, the darker the skies became. When she was within a few
feet of them, it was so dark she could barely see. For being one to
control her dreams, she was having a hard time making it brighter so
she could see where she was walking. Tripping over the rocks jutting
out along the path, she had to slow down because of the rough ground.
Had to watch her footing closely and wished in her dream world she
was wearing her sensible hiking boots and that thought made her
laugh.
She should be closer to where Rosa and Casey were standing, but it
seemed like they had somehow moved farther away, without really
moving. Then suddenly, she was right there in front of them. She
could see them plain as day and they were looking at each other.
When they turned to look at her, she sucked in her breath sharply.
Their eyes were red, their mouths were open in a laugh and their teeth
were a bright white with two fangs jutting out of their mouth. Then
they lunged.
Paige gasped and shoved at the drier so she could get up out of the
seat. Her chest heaved and she stared over at Rosa with a disbelieving
look on her face. What the hell kind of dream was that? Paige fought
to even out her breathing and headed to what she was sure was the
ladies restroom since it showed a pink woman wearing a dress on the
sign.
She had strange dreams, but never once had she ever dreamed of
vampires! Splashing cold water on her face, taking care not to get her
hair wet. Lack of sleep was messing with her mind. She was going to
have to tell Rosa that she needed a nap before she was going
anywhere tonight. For peace of mind, Paige leaned forward and
pulled her shirt away from her neck; remembering that Casey had
nibbled on her neck in Rosa's room. Maybe that was what had

triggered the dream. Paige shook her head at her own stupid thoughts
and left the confines of the tiny bathroom.
Rosa was once again back in the chair having her rollers taken out.
The women who had been working on her hair rushed forward and
directed Paige back to her swiveling chair. She was anxious to see
what disaster they had made of her hair. To her astonishment, the cut
and style was actually flattering and made her face look slimmer.
They had chopped a good four inches off, but it looked so much
healthier and bounced with soft curls that delicately framed her face
and still fell across her shoulders.
Rosa's always looked good, but they had also cut a couple inches
from her hair, sweeping her shining black hair around her face. Her
new highlights glinted in the florescent lights and Paige thought how
pretty they would be out in the sunlight.
Being in Japan, she wondered if the weather would hold out. From
the news reports she had kept up with before transferring with her job,
they had arrived during the rainy season and it usually poured every
day. The reason the countryside was so green, but so far, it had only
rained a bit that morning and had let up before they had gone out for
the day of pampering.
Running their hands through their locks both women were happy
with their transformations and headed out of the salon with big smiles
on their face. Paige was hungry again, so they stopped at one of the
local restaurants. She was a little hesitant to stray from the foods she
knew, but Rosa had placed their order in Japanese. So once again, she
didn't know what to expect because Rosa just grinned without
responding to her question of what she had ordered.
When the appetizers were placed on their table, she was pleasantly
surprised by the thinly sliced chunks of marinated steak rolled in
green onion, and then broiled on bamboo skewers. Following the
appetizer was what Rosa told her was yakisoba chicken, a stir fry with
a strong odor of soy sauce and other spices Paige was unsure of. But
