Layle's Office (Super Computer HQ)

[Aveline Jigrigger]

- Layle was surpized that Kaite was this intent to getting him to sleep, and the fact that she had called him a 'workahalic'. "No, really, Im fine!" He said trying to talk her out of it. He looked at the bed that was usually so nicely kept. "Kaite really. I need to get some work done. I still need to check the servalences and onoculare counts. I cant put it off." It was true, if he didnt deal with it now it would just pile up. He looked up at her from his chair. Her hair did look nicer when it was up. Buut it was still tangled. Maybe... a plan dawned on him. But there was an issue at hand here. "I cant sleep anyway. Why bother trying?" His escuse seemed reasonable.

Katie put both of her hands on her hips. "Because you don't want to be running on pure adreline. I've been there and done that. Trust me, it sucks. But whatever. If you want to be exhausted enough that you just sit there, then fine. Plus, everyone tends to work better and faster when they're rested," Katie replied back. Rolling her eyes, she sighed and flopped back down onto the bed.

- He stood and pushed the chair over to the computers again. He sighed, smiling. "Alright. I give. But your going to have to move over or something." He said, taking off his glasses and his gloves.

Katie nodded and scotted over. She was comfortable, that much was for sure.

- Layle looked at the small space he had for a second. Wasnt this starnge for two friends to do? Two new friends for that matter. He would say something, if he wasnt so low on coffe and brain power to complain about it. He layed down on his side, trying not to touch her. H rested his hea don the pillow. It took his awhile to actually close his eyes. Even though he couldnt remember that nightmere very clearly now he was still scared of it. He wasnt sure why. But sleep took its hold on Layle, and he was dragged into sleep, even though he was struggling to stay awake.
Everything was wet and cold. Layles eyes were closed, and from under his eyelids he could see a light flickering on and off. Layles body hurt, and dull panic shot through his body. He opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was red.

As Katie fell asleep, she felt something pull at her essance. For a seond, she thought it was a ghost, but when it didn't stop when she mumbled something about a threat, she started to get confused. Opening her eyes, she saw herself in a hospital. What's going on? Where am I? Looking around, she saw a little version of Layle.

- Layle got to his elbow and he looked at his small, shaking, red and white hands. He looked at the path of red... but the red path was blocked. By a person. Who was black and white like everything else. But her hair was bright pink. It glowed like a flame in the dark. Layles side hurt, and he looked down to see blood spilling from his white shirt. He looked back up at the woman with light hair. He tryed to move twards her, using on arm to hold his said, and the other to get himself onto his kness.

Katie reached down to the little Layle. Picking him up, she wasn't quite as shocked this time when her hand glowed. Looking around she saw a man coming towards her with a knife. Running with the young Layle, she didn't have much time to dewell on what was going on. Running to the first door she saw, she opened it and found herself in someone's office. Setting Layle down on the desk, she slammed the door shut, locked the door and dragged a chair to the door. Setting the back of the chair right underneath the doorhandle, she looked around for more things to pile up. Moving Layle off of the desk, she put him in the office chair before she moved the desk to be right beside the chair, holding the door shut between both walls.
Looking around once again, her attention was caught by a picture that had been knocked off of the desk and onto the floor, picking it up she handed it to Layle so it wouldn't get broken before pushing some filing cabinets towards the desk.

 

[Aveline Jigrigger]

- Layle wasnt sure what was happening. Everything was so confuzing to him. He took the picture without a thought while the girl with the light colored hair fought to keep the door closed. A knife stabbed through the door a foot above her head. Layle hugged the picture, feeling scared. He felt the picture shatter on his chest. He jumped back, surpized that no glass was in his skin. He looked at the broken picture on the floor. It was of the man with the glasses, of Layle when he was little, and of two other people with blurry faces. One looked like a boy who was taller than Layle, the other was of a woman with curly blonde hair. They looked familiare. Layle picked up the picture, and the knife stabbed through again.  

[Chiya Star]

Katie ran back over to Layle and picked him up. It would take awhile for the knife to cause so much damage to the door that the person could break through. Looking around, she saw a vent big enough for her to fit through. Grabbing the other chair, she stepped on it and pulled the bottom of the vent enough that the thing swung open, held by the screws in the top. Shoving Layle ahead of her, she crawled up into the vent and closed the vent. Schooching Layle just a bit ahead of her, she waited until they were far enough away to hear the guy coming from a long ways away. She noticed that Layle still had the picture. Looking at it, she realized the older boy looked a lot like Beratt....except skinny and short, not beefy and tall.  

[Aveline Jigrigger]

- Layle held the picture in his hand as if his life depened on it. The banging on the door grew quiter and quiter as Layle shuffled down the cobwebbed vent. He hated it in here. It was like the vent was getting smaller and smaller. He felt like he couldnt breath as his castraphobia kicked in. Infact the vent was getting smaller. Smaller and smaller, so much that Kaite was fourced to be on her stomack. Layle started to freak out, banging on the walls and trying to get out of there. He couldnt stand cramped places like this. He moved forward as quickly as his little body would let him.

Finding a vent to the outside, Katie punched it out and pushed Layle out before tumbling out herself. "Oh! I know where I am now!" she said, comprehension dawning on her.
"Layle, your in the middle of a dream right now," she said, "This is your dream, therefore you are the controller. If you want to know what this dream means then you need to take controll and force the dream to present the meaning to you."

 

[Aveline Jigrigger]

- Layle looked at her confused. "A...dream?" He didnt understand. It must be though. But he couldnt remember going to sleep or anything like that. Infact....he couldnt remember anything at all. "Im, dreaming?" He asked her, looking at the half blurred picture and then back at her.  

[Chiya Star]

Katie nodded. "You don't realize it because your dreaming, but you can control your dreams. You just have to tell your mind what you want to know."  

[Aveline Jigrigger]

- Layle still didnt know what the pink haired girl was talking about. "But I cant remember." He said, putting his hand on his forehead and trying to think. "How did we get here?" He asked her in an almost pleading tone.
