It was almost the midnight hour in the sleeping world. The children were resting, awaiting their dreams. And i was confident I could haunt them with my darkest nightmares.
But before i went into a house i wanted to visit a place that was soon becomming a favorite of mine. Not for the horrors of the people who dwelt there, although that also gave excitement to my bones. But to visit the sleeping child i had found there, the one who could hear my voice.
I had told no other nightmares about this child. The secret was mine and mine alone. Not even my lover, a Nightmare named Lust, knew about the treasure hidden in the Block Hill Mental Hospital. But it was my faviorte place to haunt.
Usually, us Dreams, only had nightmares to inflict on the children of the mortal realm. We could not harm them, not unless they were not sleeping. But her, she was different. And now i dreamt of all the havoc and chaos i could wreak.
Unless a Good Dream discovered me first.
I had found the child, with her auburn hair and freckles on her face, when i was haunting her brother. I had been giving the child nightmares for nearly a week before i realized that the girl could hear i was in the room.
She had called for her mother, but her mother could hear nothing, she could not see me or pick me up with any of her senses.
The child comforted her younger brother, lovingly. It was sickening to me. I shook my head and said outloud, "What a wretched thing love is."
But the girl, whose name was Fall, had turned to her brother, saying, "Love isn't wretched."
It blew me away.
The brother had then admitted that he had said no such thing, and the girl sat there wondering for a moment. Then she climbed into her own bed. I was left with my thoughts.
That night i went back to the Slumbering Kingdom, but i knew i would return. And i had.
I had played many dark tricks on the child, caused her to slowly, over time, lose her mind. She had listened at first, but eventually she decided she must be crazy. And now, she was in this hospital.
But the hospital walls could not stop me.
I walked over to her bedside and stopped at the edge of the white curtians, leaning over like a ghost, or death.

I couldn't help but enjoy the night air that slowly blew past me. Nightmares, children's worst fears become reality for one night. I couldn't help but frown at the idea. I do my best to keep this creatures away from there dreams but sometimes I can not help everyone. I looked around in the night feel sky, I had a bad feeling that a nightmare was out there with a couple of tricks up there slaves. I mostly work on my own, I have a couple of friends but no lover in my life. They call me weird for being on my own for so long. My eyes narrow at the sound of someone or should I say something thing evading someones dreams, Jumping of the roof of a building I was standing, I quickly made my way to were a mental hospital was at. I walked in and looked around finding the presence I had felt earlier "what do you think your doing?" I whisper when I finally find the nightmare and looked at the child she was hurting at the moment

I noticed the dream as she came in through the window. But i continued reaching a hand toward the still sleeping child.
"What am i doing?" I ridiculed the Good Dream, an amused smile on my face.
"I am giving her a nightmare. I am seeping into her mind, crawling into her conciousness with the silvery substance us dreams are made of."
"I am touching her thoughts. I am reaching inside of them. Her thoughts are warm. They are condensed and shimmering. But soon they will go black."
My hand lingered above the girl's forehead and i touched the top of mine, pulling out a strand of silvery dream dust from my temple. It was cold. It was what we were made of, like starlight and lightning.
I infused the silvery strand close to her forehead and it crawled into her mind, like smoke beind inhaled through her ear, whispering things, dreadful things, harmful things. Nightmares.
I watched gladly as she began to shiver and toss. It had only taken a second to infuse the nightmare into her body.
"It is done," I said simply

I glared at the nightmare in front of me. I grabbed her hand not to kindly and hated myself for not being able to stop her from placing those horrible dreams in this child. I looked her in the eyes with a glare of my own "That's enough...you've done enough to hurt this child now leave" I whispered to her letting go of her hand. I walked up to the chile and gently placed my hand on the child's forehead, trying to calm her restless mind and try to get her to dream something a bit more pleasant "I've noticed you've been here, tormenting this child, why?" I found myself asking the nightmare before I was able to stop myself

The child was still shivering. Turning in her sleep. But i knew that if the Good Dream kept shouting, with the girl being able to hear us like she could, then she would awake.
I wanted to keep my secret. So I paused. I sneered, "Why don't you give her a good dream then?" I told my guest. 'If you care so much for her."
I stalled for time. Maybe i should just leave, if i left the child alone the Good Dream might do so as well. And if that occured i could come back at a later time. As long as the girl did not wake up.
I withdrew the nightmares i had set on tormenting her. The dreams came slipping back into my mind where they stayed permenantly. I would collect more dreams tonight, i would go to the Dream Factory, the place with hundreds upon hundreds of doors, each containing a different dream.
Once there i would collect them. I would find the darkest dreams i could and keep them under my embrance. And unleash them when night came.
I looked the Good Dream in her eyes, trying to read her intentions. I smiled slightly, a dark smile.
"Very well," I said to the Good Dream. "She is your's."

I stayed in front of the child blocking her from the nightmares view. I narrowed my eyes at her knowing that she was going to come back to this child but I didn't know why. Instead, I turned back to the child and moving to giver her a good dream. something that would keep her at ease for the rest of the night "know this, I will be back and I will be watching you. I have a feeling there is something more to you wanting to be near this child" I told her in a way to make sure I was being serious and I was going to find out what she was planing.

I thought for a moment. Was there a way around this Dream's presence? I did not know, but i would not give up my plaything. Maybe i would have to make the good dream... disapear....
I thought about threats but i did not think it the time for such a thing. And if i didn't threaten i would have the element of suprise on my side. I noticed the auburn haired child sigh in her sleep, feeling better with Angel's dream in her head.
I decided to leave, that would suit me best.
"You win," I told her, "This time."
I disapeared, leaving for the Slumbering Kingdom. The world of Dreams and Nightmares. The Dream World. A slow mist covered me, it swept up across my very being and then disintigrated, leaving nothing behind.
I reapppeared in the dream world and decided to find Lust, my lover.

For now? I couldn't help but feel confused at what she told me. I turned around to her and was about to demand an answer when I saw she was gone. I frowned clenching my fist thinking I would have to watch my back while keeping an eye out for this child. I sighed as I turn around and smile softly at the chile laying on her bed "do not worry little one. I will protect you.." I whisper softly to her and gently ran my hand though her hair before I decided to leave also. This night was very interesting but I should talk to the others and see what they thought about all of this.
Just like the nightmare, I moved and walked through the window while a mist surrounded me. I was back home or at lest I thought this was my home. I know I am meant to give out good dreams to other. There were other good dreams like me, but I was one dream that always was alone "Angel!" I heard someone call out to me. I turned around and smiled to see my friend rose walking up to me.

Fall Rosette
I remembered little of last night, but as i awoke i had the feeling of someone haunting me. Something, i was sure, had been standing over me during the black night.At least the voices are gone. I thought, happy for my sanity. But deep in the distant caverns of my thoughts echoed the words, for now.
Guardian angels? It seemed unlikely. Demons? Spirits? Maybe that would explain the insanity. But for now i had no answers. And according to my therapist they would never come.
"You'll have to learn to live with unanswered questions," Dr. Neon had told me. "Just remember that insanity is a real thing that many people go through. And their voices are never real."
I cried, "But then why won't they leave me alone?" I asked. But the doctor had frowned grimly and patted my shoulder. I would get better, he had promised, the medication would help.
The medication hadn't helped.
And in my head i heard lingering words, a sweet voice, a soft voice, a voice telling me, "Don't worry little one, i'll protect you."
The words touched my mind, somewhere, something, a memory that was not a memory. Brief like a melody, a comforting sound. I tried to remind myself that it was only my mind. I tried to put things in perspective. There was good and evil, yes. And it very well may have been something from the other world talking to me. But even if it was, i could not believe it was. I had to believe in the here and now. I had to believe in the sanity.
I turned to the bookshelf besides me and i took out a bible. The old cover was thin and torn with age. I flipped to the New Testament and began to read about Jesus Christ. It was a comfort, a hope, something that told me perhaps the future would not be so bleak.
In a way, i wished he would take me. I wanted to get away from here, away from these voices with no meaning. Away from this cage. I lived in a prison for butterflies. The prison was not made of iron or bars, but of thoughts. Of sounds.
They had taken me out of the highschool i had belonged to. I would not graduate with my class. And now all i did was participate in the group therapy the hospital did and eat the disgusting hospital fool. I hadn't made any friends yet, although there were a few girls my age.
I missed school. i missed my friends. They did not allow cell phones here. And i was not allowed to go on Facebook on the computer.
It also worried me, were they still my friends? Had they abandoned me after learning i had gone into a mental ward?
One thing that changed the most was my connection with religion. I had not thought much about God until i had started hearing things. But now i realised his love was the only thing guiding me through. He had such a great love, to have died for us the way he did. To have given his only son, to save our souls. I longed to go to church, and even to teach other's about the gift of Jesus Christ. His love protected me, i was sure. And i never removed the small silver cross i kept around my neck. The bible had really inspired me.
Occ: This isn't going to be my only post. I'm posting again as the friend you encountered and possibly again as Moth.

"Angel," I called. My voice echoing across the hall. We were in the palace. A santuary for Good Dreams. "The soldiers are preparing for battle, they should be leaving shortly to go into the dark dream's territory. Is there anyone you want to say goodbye to?"
I had known Angel since a young age, and we had grown up in the palace together. But recently Fate had been speaking. The black owl which told the future had given messages to the King of the Slumbering Word. And war had begun. Riots were in the streets. And houses were burning as the good dreams and dark dreams struggled for power.
"The King believes the Nightmares have found a new weapon. Something that causes illusions that Good Dreams cannot see through. We're all in danger if they are able to use it in battle. The consequences could be deadly." I told my friend.
A young boy i loved was going off into the war. I wondered if i would ever see him again. I knew he had an affection for me also, but we had never spoken of it.

I froze at what Rose had told me. I looked away as I felt my cheeks warming up. There was someone I would miss and hoped he would come back alive. He was a dream that acted more like a nightmare. I would talk with him often and he would show me the kind side to he's heart. Something that he would not show many others but for some reason he would always so me. He was kind and a good dream in he's own way. I sighed softly before looking over at Rose and shook my head smiling softly "no Rose, but I will come with you if that is what you wish. I have a feeling there is someone you want to see before they leave" I told her before i felt my heart hurt. I wanted to see him but, I knew he would hide. He was like that for some reason.

"There is someone i was thinking of visiting. Maybe you could walk with me. I think he's at the Dream Factory." I told Angel.
We hurried down the marble staircase, passing a few dreams who were walking around the castle. I wondered about the dream world royalty. They must have been preparing for the war.
The dream factory was a place where Good Dreams and Nightmares coperated. It could not be said they lived in peace, but they tried not to break any of the rules that kept them in coexistance. Thousands upon thousands of doors were located in the factory, each containing another dream, and i could absorb the esscence of any dream i found. That was what seperated the Nightmares from the Good Dreams. The Nightmares collected darker dreams whereas the Good Dreams collected peaceful ones.
Some of us decided to haunt the humans, others decided to live with them.
Tension was thick. With the war taking place, why, I wouldn't be suprised if the Dark Dreams were banned from the factory.
I led Angel to the entranceway, the large cicular stone door, and invited her inside.

I keep thinking while I followed Rose down the hall way. I didn't even turn or look around. I narrowed my eyes as I looked in front of me. There was a war about to start and all I could think about was that child and that nightmare. I had a feeling she knew something and there was a reason why she was there around that child. The one question that would not leave my mind was why? I knew it was a bad idea to go back to see that child but I promised that I would be there and I would not let anything bad happen to her. For now, I would keep this to myself until I can find out more about that child. I snapped out of my thoughts when Rose stopped walking. I looked up at the door in front of me and opened it before going inside "so who are you here to see Rose?" I smile softly at my friend as I close the door behind her when she walked in.
