That night I dreamed about the caves, or at least, the dream had the feeling of a cave about it. Darkness, the sound of running water nearby. The ground underneath my feet was shifting and unreliable, and someone was looking for me—someone who was angry with me, and I was afraid of them. Sometimes it was my mother, or my sister.

And then other times it was someone else, someone smaller, following me in the dark.

I woke up from this nightmare at one point, and I heard a light tread outside my room. There was a thin bar of moonlight shining under my bedroom door. Katie must have got up in the night to go to the toilet, that was all, yet when I saw the light change below my door, and knew she had to be standing outside it, a cold terror seized hold of me. I lay in bed, my eyes rooted to that small dark spot.

Go back to bed, I thought. Please, just go back to bed.

I held my breath, trying not to picture her standing there, one hand pressed against the thin wood of the door, her hair hanging in her face—and eventually the small dark spot moved again. I let my breath out and closed my eyes.
