Shadow woke up at about midnight and crept out of the treehouse
they hadn’t noticed her leave so she was alone she walked over to
her den and went in she was happy to finally change her outfit and
take a bath when she got done she decided to go hunt then she heard
it and skittered up a tree
Silver fell asleep playing with Lissi's hair as he used to. It
helped keep him calm. He dreamed of posting with her when they were
younger. Then it got dark. Shadowy figures attacked them. He fought
them off the best he could. The dream calmed as he smelled her
scent. It was like a lavender scent. His favorite scent
Look at you... So happy, so please at where you are now... You
know this won’t last, you’ll screw it up like you always do...
Red eyes appeared in the darkness as the voice spoke. This wasn’t a
usual dream, the last time a dream like this happened was almost 5
years ago. “No! No I won’t!” she yelled back. She wanted to
believe the words she said, but... Why did the words sound fake?
No, she couldn’t think that way. She tried to wake up, but as she
tried, the eyes got closer. It chuckled before stopping right at
her face. Trying is pointless, it won’t help you... I’m not done
with you... Suddenly, the darkness formed into a long “arm”,
going straight at her throat. If you don’t believe me, keep
torturing yourself with this just to screw it up. The arm
lifted her up, almost at their eye level. The grip got tighter and
tighter until she couldn’t take it anymore, she knew she was close
to suffocating. Just before she did, she jolted up, gasping for
breath.
Silver was sitting up watching her with a horrific expression. He
saw her dream. He didn't want to wake her like last time. She had
knocked him out with one lunch. But that was when they were kids.
He could only manage to speak in a low voice "H-he's real. He was
the one that caused this whole mess. I sent him to the nether world
that night. I don't know how I did it but I did"
She touched her neck, it was till hurting. Faint bruises were on
her neck, in the exact imprint of a large hand. She looked at
Silver, scared and confused. “R-real?” She whispered.
He nodded and grabbed aloe cream he made "He's very real" He gently
rubbed it on her neck careful not to hurt her "He can only attack
your mind for now. There is a way to keep him away"
He looked around for Shadow "She probably went to her den. And is
now hunting. That's where she usually goes" He got a rag and word
her forehead "She should be able to help you like she did for me"
He smiled at Lissi. He loved carrying her. He missed giving her
what she wanted and asked for. He missed the lavender scent and her
smile and her voice. He carried her down the path to Shadow's den
She looked around the forest as they walked. Her smile faded a bit
as she thought back to this morning, but she tried not to let it
take up her thoughts.
He laughed and rolled his head back to look at her smiling "But you
are very dear to me" He meant it. She was very important to him. He
had to keep her safe no matter the cost. He would even give his
life to save her
