Chapter 7: Dream Eater

While in class, Quinn is thinking about something else. “We need to have a conversation. That’s what I said; but, mhhh… What does that even mean? When should we? Now, later? Should I go talk to her after school? Ehhh, I didn’t think I would ever find it this hard to talk to her… Well, that isn’t necessarily, entirely true.”

Having spent the day thus far, going over the exact same thought process, over and over again. Quinn has also been overhearing murmurs, going around the school. “People seemed to have trouble, getting to sleep last night.”

Quinn crosses his arms, looking contemplative. “It’s probably not important. I mean, high schoolers not getting enough sleep, isn’t exactly out of the ordinary.”

Quinn being unable to come to a resolution, about how to talk to Neri, heads home. With the same thoughts still on his mind, he heads to bed and slowly drifts off.

“Gmpf!”

Being suddenly woken up, Quinn sees a ghostly, eyeless creature right above him. It’s unlatched, ghastly mouth is sucking in odd, translucent energy. Quinn unable to move, feels himself rapidly losing energy.

“Mh?”

The specter loosens its grip slightly, just enough for Quinn to see what has scared the creature. Lucifer standing beside the bed, with his hands in his pockets, shoots off a petrifying glare at the specter. Being terrified by this, the creature pushes off of Quinn’s chest, with its gnarly hands, leaping up and flying through the ceiling.

“Phaf, daahhh, ghaa.”

Quinn grasps for air, sitting up in his bed, he looks to Lucifer.

“t-Thank you.”

“Don’t thank me, for having a sense of self-preservation.”

Quinn looks up to where the spirit flew up to, seeing just a regular ceiling.

“What was that and what did it do to me?”

“My first instinct, is usually a soul sucker. Though in this instance, that seems rather unlikely.”

Quinn remembers back to yesterday. “Oh.”

“That thing, I think it’s going around absorbing energy, or something, from people while they are asleep.”

“Oh, then it’s a dream eater.”

“A dream eater?”

“Tell me, were you having a dream?”

Quinn stares at the man for a few moments, scratching his head.

“Now that you mention it, I think so. What was it? There was a path way of some sort, then… A field of flowers, with a girl wearing red in it- and… Umm, that’s it I think.”

“Meaning, that thing already ate most of it.”

Lucifer takes a look at the ceiling, once more. Quinn takes a look at his phone. “Great, it’s almost time to get up.”

Throughout the next day, Lucifer stays outside walking along with Quinn, continuing to stare up above Quinn’s head.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m fairly certain that oddity is still attached to you. It’s hiding its presence, but I can tell it is still sticking to you, like glue.”

“You mean, it’s looking for an opportunity to come back?”

“More than likely. I know I wouldn’t be happy, if my meal was interrupted.”

“Is it staying at bay because you’re out here?”

“…I don’t think so, no. Maybe it can’t eat your dream, until you’re dreaming once more.
