Alex legitimately could not remember the last time she had gotten anything that resembled a full night's sleep. Sometime before everything had gone topsy turvy in her life, she assumed. It was starting to cause her more and more stress and only made it harder for her to sleep. So, when Dan had called her out on not sleeping, she knew she wasn't even good at hiding it anymore.
She wasn't sure why she believed him when he said he could help her. Alex knew she was getting desperate but usually Strand's voice crept into her head and advised skepticism. It didn't this time. Something in her told her to trust the man.
It could be the demons.
At that point though, she had decided to just give it a shot. Making arrangements for him to meet her at her apartment, she texted Nic to explain what she was doing. Then she made herself a cup of tea and sat down to wait for Dan. She debated on grabbing her tape recorder to record what happened but ended up dozing off slightly. Then the nightmare crept in and the familiar whispers started.
