mildew smelling
interior where it was considerably darker.
Avery said, "Stop."
Nia looked around and was surprised. She couldn’t
help but wonder what they were really doing here. Why would they need chains on
the wall and a steel table? The chair with the straps was definitely the
kicker.
Avery noticed where she was looking, but so did
Aaron and his jaw dropped.
"What the...”
He was cut
off by a tense Avery.
"Look I don't expect either of you to
understand but this place is necessary. I know you don't get it right now and I
promise we would never even dream of doing anything to harm either one of you.”
she said fiercely, she needed them to trust her in order to keep them safe.
Darragh spoke up then, "Someday soon you will
know why this is here. I assure you all is not as it seems.” he said waving at
their surroundings. "But Avery is right you are indeed safe with us.” he
added in as assuring a tone as he could manage.
Nia really didn't give a crap what anyone said at
this point. At the first sign of danger she would grab Aaron and they would
bolt! He was looking at her clearly trying to gage if she still was in her
right mind or seeing if she had her wits about her in her dazed state. Nia
walked closer to Aaron wanting to be right there beside him, just in case.
Darragh had his eyes closed as he turned to face
the back wall while Avery addressed Nia and Aaron.
"Look this is going to be weird for you two.
But you’ve each dreamt before and met her . This time we're going to have
you sleepwalk into a dreamscape and then make a transfer. You'll be guided by
Darragh and then Eric will transfer us to a safer place.” Avery said not really
knowing who this Eric was.
At the mention of his name Nia stiffened, ‘She
couldn’t be speaking about the same Eric that I named.’ At least she hoped it
wasn’t him, she hadn't even had a chance to explain it fully to Aaron. This
could definitely put a damper on things between them. Not that there was
anything really going on with them or anything. Eric was just a guy in a dream
world, bound to her.
Well there was the part that he happened to give
her his soul, no biggie. As for Aaron, he was more than that to her. She really
had no doubt, not that she'd admit it, at least not yet.
"I'll remain here to guard you on this
side." Avery finished.
With that Darragh stepped forward and spoke
turning to them, "Epifania and Aaron I will be your guide to the
dreamscape and Eric will be your Protector once we are inside."
"Call me Nia please.” she interrupted and
Darragh gave a curt nod.
"Of course, now, if at any point myself or
Eric say to ' wake now' you must follow the instructions precisely. Do
you understand?” they nodded in unison.
Darragh continued nodded back, "We are going
into this room behind me where it is considerably darker. I need you to relax
and listen to my voice. After you are good and relaxed I will pull you into a
day dream and you will become half conscious. At that point I will take your
hand and walk you through the veil. We will go in through Aaron's subconscious,
so naturally he will go first. This is a rather unusual way to dreamscape at first
but it’s not safe to just open a realm right now." They both nodded once
more.
Avery
spoke up then, "Look I know this is a lot for you guys to take in but I
swear on my life that you can trust us. We're the good guys here. Please try
and remember that.” she said clearly annoyed with the lack of trust she was
getting.
"Oh yes and keep your eye on Darragh's light
until he takes your hand. That is what he will guide you through the darkness
with. It will be okay.”
Aaron grabbed Nia's hand and they were both
breathing deep. "Aaron I have to tell you something." She whispered
leaning her head closer to him and then he leaned closer to her.
"Nia what's wrong?" They spoke in
whispers as they
