(DEADLY PREMONITION) Half Sleep

[Toshihiko Two]

nope  

[Toshihiko Two]

Ah, great. She was stuck in that supposedly haunted forest.

Couldn't be worse than that hill, anyway. And she'd learned her lesson. Stick to the center. And ignore the weird...singing? Talking? Whatever it was.

Centered. Balanced. One with...what was that?

Okay wait. Voices could mean culprits. Culprits could mean crime solving.

Then there was a kid in front of her.

"You okay?" She whispered. If this kid was lost, then... but it seemed to know where it was going. There was something weird about it, and- suddenly it got sucked into the ground.

Okay. That was...not natural.

What she needed to do was find some kin who were not completely creepy, but she kind of felt like she was the only normal one here.

And then there she was. Ghost Thistle.

Burning, kind of terrible. On fire...not normal at all...and what she told Sleep, well, Sleep was starting to put together a picture. The afterburn is not nice.

Truth be told, Sleep was kind of in the mood for another fight.

There were some moving shapes up ahead. Maybe they'd be up for it? They seemed...game. Sort of. In a super creepy way.

But if they were messing with kids...or, ghost kids, or something, it wasn't cool at all.

Ghost Thistle backed her up on this one.

When she finally found the creepy guys, she was completely ready to give them a piece of her mind.

And take a chunk out of them with her teeth.

Sleep did the double-chomp.

She hadn't exactly had time to spare on the boar.

I mean, not that she was going to eat these guys...but they could stand some lesson-learning.

Sleep gave the weirdo a kick (one) for good measure.

And a final kick (two) to put him down permanently.

She stood, panting.

Anybody else want to mess with this? Didn't think so. They scattered, and Sleep knew. The basket. Must have been a picnic, and some kid...these guys were dangerous. Who took kids? Sleep didn't venture into weird very often. Not much here made sense, but then, she must have wandered into one of the between places...death, life, the hill- you had to stay- in between-

half

and

half

sleep?

Sleep woke next to her brother, feeling the foggy sweat from the nightmare. She let her eyes flutter shut, and rested her chin on his neck. Some things were better left in another place. And if she dreamed again, it was thinking of her brother's fur, and not of the distant journey and long, cold climbs, not of death and fear, even if it was the season. Even if she'd won.
