"In my dreams. My pets show me the stories. Dark and ominious like a stormcloud raining acid and terror, but confined to the small of her lap, crawling tender warmth they ensnare her.'"
Daiyu muttered, hiding her jaw behind a yawn. It was impolite of her. Her mother would be shocked by her behavior. She had a mother. She remembered her insisting she was called Daiyu. The name meant black jade; blackness followed her like a shadow chasing her heels. But her name was Mara. She was sure of it. The nightmares called her Mara.
"I think I would like to write things down. Yes, you are right."
She nodded, rubbing her eyes. She wasn't allowed caffeine any more; or stimulants of any kind. Her head throbbed dully between her ears.
Her gaze drifted around the room, settling finally on one corner, then to the other corner. But they were empty. Nothing was there. She missed their warmth.
"I'd like to go back to bed now if I can."

"Come, mistress"
