Fan Fiction ❯ Dark Dreams ❯ chapter 4 ( Chapter 4 )

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. The sound of the alarm could be heard throughout the apartment.

“Ok theat was a little too close for comfort. Lets not do that again.” Caporia said obviously freaked out. “Yea well now you know what I’ve been going through all this time.” Blare told Caporia. “We have to figure out what they were and how they are getting into her dreams and what they were doing when they carved this into us.” Amara said pointing to the blood on the back of Blares shirt where the mark laid underneath. “Wait. No, no way. You said that the barrier would protect us from harm.” Caporia yelled to Amara. “It was meant to protect us from outside forces. Which means that whoever or whatever is doing this is doing it through its dreams or it was created to do this. To tell you the truth I think it’s a demon or a very powerful magician.” Amara said almost as if she was thinking out loud. “No it couldn’t be a magician he wouldn’t be able to adapt to us entering the dream. So it had to be some creature or demon that can control dreams. That’s the only way it could have adapted so easy to the dream.” Amara continued talking to herself while pacing around the room. “What’s she doing” Caporia asked Blare. “She’s doing a mental check list of what it cant be and why. She does this till she comes up with the answer” Blare explained. “Oh how long does that usually take?” Caporia asked staring at Amara. “It all depends. It depends on what its about, the last time she read something about it, or if she encountered it before.” answered Blare. “They’re all holy signs.” Amara suddenly said. “Huh?” Blare asked. “The cross on Caporia’s shoulder is a holy sign. It’s a symbol of the crucifixion of Christ. Symbolizing what he gave up so that our sins could be forgiven. The moons on your shoulder represents the triple goddess, which is prayed to in so many religions around the world. And the pentacle on my shoulder represents north, south, east, west, and the spirit. Sorta like a balance its used for good but if you turn it around it is used for evil.” Amara explained. “Ok so what does that have to do with this” Caporia asked. “That means that whatever they are they ‘marked us’ for a reason and we need to find out why and what its for.” Amara answered grimly. “So that means that because of me you guys will be attacked in your dreams.” Blare said realizing what Amara said. “Wait I have the answer to all of this.” Caporia said clearly excited. “Ok what is it” Blare asked. “Ok well I was watching Freddy vs. Jason the other day and all of the kids that remembered who Freddy was, was put on some pill that made sure they didn’t dream when they went to sleep. So we can do that.” Caporia said proud of herself for thinking of it. “I hate to burst your bubble, but there’s a few flaws in that plan. 1) didn’t those pills put most of those people in comas? 2) these creatures are using magick, so the pills wouldn’t work. And 3) those pills don’t exist. So we are back to square one.” Amara stated. “Well don’t you have any idea what it could be?” Blare asked hopefully. “The best I can come up with is either nightmare incubus, or dream demons. Other then that I cant think of anything else it could be.” Amara admitted. “So what do we do now?” Caporia asked not liking the situation. “I say we sleep in intervals. One person sleep, one person nearby to wake them up if they start showing signs of having a nightmare, and one to do research to find out what it is exactly and how to beat it. It might also help if the one who is sleeping tries to find out what they are and what it is they want.” Amara answered. “Unless any of you have a better plan that is.”
