Welcome to Gaia! ::

Through all the commotion, nobody noticed that Dream had left for the moment. Mainly to succesfully obliterate the two demons who followed Vanessa to the beach. They were now unconsious, curled behind a rock. He watched the others torture the man. I can do better than that.

Dream never liked people who tortured people for fun. He had no objection to tormenting him, and so he decided that maybe he could show him how pain really felt. He was human, so it would work.

He stepped up to him. "I really don't like people who kill for pleasure..." He raised his arm and forced the man into the air. He then took a few blocks of air, and moved them directly to five different pressure points on his body. Pressing them hard enough to cause unimaginable pain and immobilization, but not so hard he became unconsious, the man screamed in mortal agony. "Never do it again... Not that you'll get the chance."

Dream looked at the man. He didn't really seem in any position to run away anyway, he was stuck in the air, squirming in pain he rightfully deserved. But still... a life was a life... Pain he could dish out to anyone who really asked for it, but he didn't really want him dead. Hopefully, Leila would feel the same. She belonged in Heaven, after all.

"True. I'm all for causing him pain. But there is a such thing as too much punishment..." He released his torture devices (the blocks of air), and allowed him to collapse on the ground, with only his arm in the air, held up by Vanessa's fingernails. "So... why have you done what you did?"

(OOC: I give our friend ChibiMizzy full control of the man now, as it was her whom he tortured. and killed. Only she can make him speak.)

"Leila? I..I...I don't know what you're talking about! Please! Please don't kill me!" The man screamed in pain, a look of intense worry on his face.

Leila remained where she was, nodded to Vanessa when she had entered and went back to looking at the stone. The man's screams were a bit satisfying, but she wasn't ready. What would seeing her do to him? Would it make him angry? Would he apologize to her? With all these questions she still felt she wasn't ready.

Leila shook her head in response to leaving the cave. "The sight of him...still scares me..." she held out the rock towards Vanessa for her to take. "As for Violet, I think it's because she's always been a demon and only knows how to make humans lives a mess. But she sees me as a fellow demon....that's my only guess," she shrugged, looking up at the girl with empty eyes.

Vanessa could hear what Violet had said from inside the cave. She couldn't help but smile, because it seemed like she had broken the barrier between Violet and herself. Vanessa stared at Leila.
" I know you may think that this is impossible, but... I... I feel the same way. Vanessa said, knowingly. "My father... He would torture me... He'd hit me... And... uh... He... He..." Vanessa gulped, tears in her eyes. "He forced me to have sex..." Vanessa said shamefully. She tried to hold back the tears, but couldn't. "He... He was my father, but he hated me... He treated me like I was a possession, not his daughter." Vanessa said, through silent sobs. Hot tears slid down her pale cheeks, and hit the ground. "I... I felt like the only way I could get him away was by... By running... He's the coach of the Red Sox, in Boston, so I knew that if I ran far from him, he wouldn't be able to find me..." Vanessa said, choking on her tears. "So... So i came her." vanessa looked away, red faced, cheeks wet from tears.

Dream stopped harming the man, and beconed Violet to do the same, though he doubted she would. "Let's give him a break for a minute... I want to hear his side of the story." He grinned at the man. "And then we can continue."
