"I'll stay here with you." Galleai promised. She liked the way he petted her, after all. And she liked him, he was pretty in his dreams. It was impossible to tell what people looked like when they were awake, but she definitely liked him asleep. Her purring cut off abrubtly as she notice the sun glinting off the chain and shackle around his ankle and she pounced on it, hoping to catch the strange thing.

There was a slight tug on Rook's ankle as Gal's paws closed over it the chain. Out of reflex he pulled his foot the opposite direction and free the chain. Still, the young boy was smiling and having fun. Gal had said she'd stay with him, they weren't going to disappear like the water and now there was a game with the thing on his leg.

Galleai pounced after the chain and made a noise somewhere between a meow and a giggle. "What is it?" She asked, pouncing again at the shiny thing.

Now , Rook moved his leg at the last second keeping the prize just out of reach of each pounce. The boy couldn't walk yet but he could crawl and scoot himself back giving himself more room to move his legs and send the links of chain moving about. " I don't know, it doesn't go away though, she tried to take it off but no.
Rook stopped moving his leg for a moment and reached up to touch one of the large red jewels embedded in his arm " Don't know these too"Neither the jewels on or the living metal surrounding him had any meaning the boy consciously knew of yet.

"They're pretty." Galleai said, pausing in her play to stare at the jewels. "Real pretty." She got up a little closer and sniffed at them, but they didn't have any noticeable smell. Then again, things didn't always smell the same in dreams anyways. "Maybe they're magic."

" Maybe" The boy agreed with a small smile. It would be nice to know why, why his skin was not all smooth, why the jewels were there. They certainly didn't bother the boy but they were different from 'her' , he was different from 'her'.
Shifting slightly in his sleep Rook began to edge over the side of the bed. His brain wanting to prevent a fall registered this and tried to wake the boy.
As Rook reached down to pet Gal again the ground beneath them seemed to crack and the water was sucked away even faster.

The ground started shifting and cracking, and Galleai's claws came out to help her keep purchase. "Oh!" She exclaimed in suprise. Either the boy was waking up or he was shifting into a nightmare. She hoped he was waking up, he was too nice for a nightmare.

In reality gravity was winning the war on Rook's body, sliding him further and further off the mattress. Then suddenly the edge of the mattress dipped and the boy rolled fully off the bed.
The sky went white again then black as Rook was forcefully pulled from his dream.
Waking up on the floor Rook was confused for a moment until he saw the edge of the bed and realized he must have fallen. Carefully he pulled himself back up onto the bed and tried to go back to sleep. He hoped Gal had escaped the breaking world ok.
