"Hmm?" Dark asked he had kind of zoned out for a second, "Could you please repeat that?"

"you should sleep now" he took dark by the hand an lead him to the bedroom.

Dark blinked sleepily, "Sleep now? But it is only..." Dark took a quick glance at his watch, "8:15"

"you are tired though" he did not understand why it mattered the time. "you sleep when you are sleepy not when the clock tells you"

"Nuh," Dark protested even as he was steered towards bed, "You sleep when the clock says after 11 pm." He said this as htough it was a fact of life. "Otherwise you won't get everything done."

he ignored the other pulled back the blankets and picked him up. tossing the boy in bed he put the blankets over dark and smoothed them out

Dark did not protest too mucha s he was put ot bed, he was very tired. In his half conscious state he grabbed Alexander and pulled him into bed with him. "If I musst sleeep, then youu must too." Dark words were slurred but still mostly understandable.

he looked to the door though he melted into the other's arms "bathroom first?"

Dark pouted but relented. "Fine but come back." He did not even he was whining slightly in his sleepiness.

(damn this thing, it keeps forgetting to say when an rp is updated^^: i have been waiting for a several hours for this reply)

he nodded and quickly went to the bath-closet. he went and washed and came back. the other looked to be dosing. he went over to the boy's side and watched him breathe for a moment. the other looked peaceful enough but he was sure the nightmare that had been chasing the other since before the book was lurking.

Dark was having another nightmare, slightly darker then his others. He was alone in a world of glass and whispers. He knew others were there but he could not get to them and they could not get to him.

The whispers were what sealed this dream as a nightmare though. It whispered things even Dark himself never spoke about. Every short comming, every failure. The whispers were the rulers of this realm and Dark was helpless as they drove him further and deeper, further from any help or anyone and deeper into his self.

after a few moments longer went around and he crawled into bed from the other side. he pulled the other into his arms snugly. he would be prepared tonight.


he fell into a hall of mirrors though nothing reflected in them but darkness. he dared not touch such things for he knew they would eat him. he wandered for a moment until he heard voices. he picked up the pace. at the center of chaos would be the other he knew. unlike the other dream however he did not go straight, he dove and weaved and slunk in a meandering path sometimes going forward and sometimes going sideways but never going back. he could hear the voices growing louder, he could almost make out the words

In a split second Dark was else where and the voices were realing. Something had come to close, something they did not like. Dark's eyes widened, Alexander! How was he supposed to warn Alexander to stay out? Darl did not have mcuh time to think about it as the voices suddenly started up again much quicker and violent this time. The words turned to knives and dug into Dark's flesh. Only phantom paisn but they still hurt.

Dark was getting further and further away from whatever the voices hated. Sometimes whatever it was would cause a temporary silence but the voices would aways return with vengence. Then it all went silent. The voices had completly stopped but Dark felt numb and inhuman. One word slipped through the oppressing silemce, 'Monster'.
