Elyse concentrated on her breathing, forcing it to slow. As a result her heart quit pounding so heavily in her chest and she could no longer feel her pulse throbbing in her wrist. Her hand quit shaking as she allowed Nox to lay her down on the bed.
Nox asked her if she wanted to talk about it, and she had no problem with doing that. She waited for a moment, still catching her breath as he pulled her tighter. Elyse rested her head on his shoulder and took a deep breath.
"I had fallen asleep while waiting for you and I ended up in the dream world,"
she began slowly. "It's usually a weird place, but this time it was different. The sky tore and images appeared in it. A torn snake - a hooded face with fiery blue eyes. A man appeared through the dreams - in a black cloak with a shrouded face. Serpents twined around him."
she paused, remembering each image with vivid clarity.
"I called for the wolves to help me. I was having trouble leaving. Another image came. I was in a tunnel full of animals and other living things. Snakes came down the tunnel and swarmed over everything."
She paused and sighed wrapping her arms around him. "It wasn't that they were scary as much as they were disturbing and...I'm not surprised that I would dream of snakes now, but they weren't normal and in the dream world that is saying a lot. A wolf showed up to help me, but that was when you woke me up."
Elyse wrapped her arm around Nox's waist. "He couldn't see them - the wolf. Everything seemed normal to him. The images are still in my head - as vivid as I saw them before."
Elyse wasn't going crazy. She knew that. Deep down, she knew that. But she wondered why the wolf hadn't seen them. She wondered what made her different in this circumstance, and she hoped Nox didn't think she was losing it.
