Shadow Dreams [Single]

Post by River Illia »

Shadows floated to and from her body, seeming to gather around her. Pulling her this way and that, seeming to never want her to leave. Whispers of other shadows in this area tugged at her ears. At least something was happy now.

She wasn't.

Deathy's visit, naked as a jaybird, had filled her with equal parts rage and need to be with him. Him fading had left only the rage.

"I don't fuckin believe it."

The mutter was loud as the shadows flared around her spirit. To believe that crap had the potential to re order what she thought she knew. Her sire...letting Amara the fake kill her? No ******* way. Just no way. Pushing through more shadows, she tried to focus on getting out, getting back to deathy who was as upset as she was, but the anger was a distraction.

She had to stop. Energy burning faster then she was used to. Wasn't it just a few days ago that her and Habs had been talking about that witch was gonna ruin the family and was up ta something. This had to be it.

"Probably drugged her...its gotta be a lie"
Deathy hadn't been sure about the details. Only telling her what had been announced in public. If she'd been free her gun would have fired off shots into the woman's head. Fine Amara and her family wanted to be cowards, river didn't give a crap. But it was different when she was forcin cowardice on her. Scheming witch. The mutters were louder as she faded into a wall, she'd rest up now. But when she came out, the blood would be spilled if what he had told her was true.

The shadow wall held her captive as she seethed with rage. She hadn't felt this helpless and angry since the days she had been locked away in different hospitals. Whispery voices and thoughts coming from all around her didn't help. She clung to deathy's voice from earlier, the deep comforting tones that seemed to lull her into a comfort zone no matter what.

Their was more comfort from the fact that he was as confused and angry as she was, and the fact that he wanted to avenge her death. A smile clung to lips that didn't exist. She held no ill will against the tools that called themselves Docere. Best she figured was that they were all like that cyborg she'd seen in that one show. One huge creepy body of brainless idiots who let themselves get duped by an evil doctor. Heck they even gave good fights. That last battle with caine had been awesome, a shot here, a punch there, dodging random like the whole time, she had had his blood on her hands even as she died with a smile. She found it cute that deathy was all worked up, and once she was back she'd have to find a way to help him focus.

Determination and hatred cleared her brain. Providing clarity. She had to get back. It was obvious the real enemy now. Not the docere tools, or anyone else. It was the ones inside the family she had to get rid of first. Until now she had been willing to give them a break, even with as angry as she was. But no more. The time had come to get rid of them once and for all. She knew Mircea was compromised by his love and loyalty for those snakes. And if Habren had let this happen, then she to had let herself become blind.

Her road was clear. Kill the fake grigori snake head and and keep the family from the danger they refused to recognize.

Energy was burned quickly here when blind rage was involved. She had to get back. Deathy hadn't been able to visit her, she hadn't been able to run across phoe, mircea or Habs and the shadows were trying to pull her in deeper.

Her powers were always so in flux she hadn't really thought of what would happen if she ever got stuck in the shadow realm. Now she knew. Her shadows however they were formed, loved the shadow realm. Every other moment she was being pulled into another direction, shadows forming sticky ties to keep her there.

"damn freakin things..like kids ya are" The mutters had returned here, she'd thought she'd finally got over doing it unconsciously. But it seemed it was just another freaky thing she'd be stuck with. She knew she was avoiding thinking of what would happen when she got back. What felt like weeks was probably only a few days. She was just lost. The only sane thing to think about was deathy and that seemed to make her shadows go crazier here.

"Yar own fault riv. Ya let that woman work her wiles without watchin for the knife if yar back. So prepared you were for that stab you didn't even see it coming didja. No. Your the idiot who thought she would be to selfish to actually fake caring about others. Now ya learn."

She knew it was all an act. She had thought Habren knew it to. Even Mircea, who was blinded by his love and loyalty to her seemed to see the bits and pieces. She couldn't understand how that had changed in such a short time. But maybe she was wrong. That was it. Maybe it was weeks she had been here.


"Still an idiot girlie. How do ya explain deathy comin to ya the day after this all happened. He even said it was a day or somethin.."

She had to admit the mutters were right. Deathy had made it clear that time was normal for him and thereby for her. She just didn't want to believe that her beloved sire had let herself get killed by the woman whose petty jealousies had caused such issues for the family.

"Ya not think riv..ya just not. Look at it. Ya know how lovin habs is. She probably wanted ta forget and forgive..ta bring the family back together...ya know...ya could.."

The mutter was cut off. No. She would not be tricked or fooled. She had let the doctors do that to her at first and look what that had led to. Years of running, being alone. Needles, pokes, probes and jabs. She wouldn't let her family go down the same way. Her instincts told her that woman was up to no good. No matter how many smiles she put on. Why else would she so nicely offer to kill Habren if not to get in good again. To wiggle in like the snake she was. Her and that twit leiren.

"Ya gonna get busted..ya know that. If they all have forgiven and forgotten, then ya gonna be the bad guy who won't let **** go...and what if they go after deathy for you doing this..what if that happens..he already got dragged into the war cause of ya and habs.."

She had to think about that. Mutters 2 her 0. But she could persuade deathy ta not help. Keep him out of this. That way if everything did go to **** like she thought it would..he wouldn't be dragged down.

A spirit floated by her, instant hunger came over her, blotting out the worries and thoughts as she focused on luring the thing to her. Shadows formed a wispy illusion of a spirit floating around her, the creature thinking it had found another followed the false bait right into her trap. Moments later, the spirit vanished, drained of its essence as shadows formed a cocoon around the woman. Sending her into the deep sleep that kept her from thinking at all.
