apartment 4

[ Sharon kept alert, ready to use her power. But as the room seemed ready to come crashing down upon them and flames erupted, Blaze, Haleigh and Nicolas did what they could to stabilize their ever changing envrionment. Sharon was ready to use her body to shield those on the bed from any falling debris or flame if need be.]

[ but as that terrifying moment passed, and the group dared not relax even for a moment, the door bursts open and a VORTEX, the SEIGE PERILOUS appears! She'd only heard about this ....THING. She was DEAD the last time Alison used it.]

[ it happened so FAST, the sudden force, the PULL! it caused Sharon to cry out with surprise and suddenly Ava gets swept off her feet.]

AVA!

[ Sharon grabs her and succeeds in getting a FIRM grip on her upper arm, while she leans down to the side acting as a sort of human wall for Karen who was hurtling forward on the bed. Mike does his best to hold on to Karen and Morgan while Sharon BLOCKS for them as best she can.]


the PULL...it's unlike ANYTHING I've ever FELT!

[ her hair whipping in front of her viciously as she STRUGGLES to be an ANCHOR while Haleigh and Nicolas do what they can!]

ALISON! BLAZE!

[ both women are being pulled in!]
 
apartment 4

:: being yanked into the air, off her feet, she was about to CRASH into Nicolas, but ALison was one of the FASTEST with reaction times and so, she BLINKS out and back in AGAIN, but like Johnny in apartment 6, her movement power is hampered and she appears on the floor, holding on to one of the feet of the large bed. BLAZE is being pulled as well, and Alison slides her arm over with GREAT effort, with her time staff now perpendicular to her.::

Blaze....the TIME STAFF...GRAB IT!

:: the garnett jewel of the time staff was flickering "on and off" as the seer struggled and now used her OWN TK power to try to hold HERSELF and BLAZE down to the floor even as Nicolas tried to hold everyone else where they were.::

it...wont hold...for ....very LONG!
 
Apt 4

Blaze's grip on Haleigh was only beginning to slacken now as Alison's voice projected over the winds.

Blaze....the TIME STAFF...GRAB IT!

Reaching over to the time staff, Blaze struggled to reach it. Her fingers just shy of the edge of the staff.

"Alison, I can't grab it!"

The staff's jewels would illuminate and flicker on and off before Blaze could grasp the staff tightly. Letting go of Haleigh, Blaze reached out to pull herself up further to grasp the staff with both hands.

"Alison, this won't hold the both of us!"

Blaze would notice the force of a tk that Alison was also using to pin the both of them down to the floor.

it...wont hold...for ....very LONG!

They had no choice but to hold on.
 
Ava felt Sharon's hand grab her arm, stopping the goddess from further tumbling toward the vortex. Gripping Sharon's arm, she struggled to pull herself to her feet from the sheer force of the suction. Gritting her teeth, Ava held onto Sharon with every bit of strength she had. She felt sort of bad that she was using the mutate as a human anchor, but Sharon was certainly durrable and strong enough to handle the pull of the siege.....but for how long?

Alison and Blaze managed to anchor themselves as Nicolas helped Haleigh to strengthen her metal net that blocked doorway just in case anyone slipped and headed toward the vortex. Morgan and Karen were being held by Mike, but Sharon had to help keep them steady.

"Delilah! Can you open a wormhole in front of the seige perlious?! We can get sucked into there and get out of this damn apartment!"
 
MP -- Apt 6

Claudia whapped Clara roughly, causing her to jump a little and whip back around on her, rubbing the spot Claudia'd hit gently.

"OW! What's your PROBLEM?!"

Claudia: "Next time WARN me before you let go!"

"I was trying to SAVE us, I didn't exactly have time to DISCUSS my intentions!"

She shot back defensively. She stared into the vortex at the front door…. She had half a mind to jump into it and find Johnny…. But her sister grabbed her hand and squeezed it gently… provoking a rueful sigh as she suggested they find a window exit.

"Great… just great. I finally escaped Daddy and I'm still resorting to sneaking out the back windows. At least I have enough experience with it to know I won't have a problem in this skirt."
 
that's it!

Apartment 4 and 6

<< the vortex flashes and with a crash of thunder...it swells, growing and consuming the entire view infront of them all.>>

<< in apartment for, Nicolas is pulled through....but his SKIN is left behind. Alison screams as her time staff IMPOSSIBLY snaps and she slams into the door way, breaking her neck before falling, DEAD, through the vortex.>>

<< Sharon is the next one to feel herself leaving...as she continues to hold on to Ava...but instead, Ava leaves...her ARM behind as she too is pulled away into the vortex. Sharon is horrified as she is slammed by the night stand from behind and is moved away from the others...>>

<< KAREN is the next...as Sharon is knocked unconscious, the cougar :D is yanked from Mike's fatigued grasp and sent screaming into the vortex.>>

<< this is the end...for all of them.>>

<< a CHIME sounds off...the sound that is associated with Morgan or maybe Hecate! in a sudden flash of light and a forcefull PUSH, EVERYONE awakens with a START...whole, alive and unharmed.>>

<< Ava and Haleigh in apartment 5; Alison, Delilah in apartment 1; Sharon and Blaze in apartment 8 ; Mike and Nicolas in apartment 7; the Zaccharas AND Johnny in apartment 6; Karen and Morgan in apartment 4.>>

<< they were all ASLEEP! some are on the bed, some on the floor....but ALL of them have just been JOLTED back to consciousness. its the dead of night...nearly dawn, but the building is intact, no damage, no noise...just a rain storm which seems almost gentle by comparsion, outside.>>



<< the vortex seems to swell in ANGER as the winds howl and thunder crashes...and the sisters are caught up as EVERYTHING around them crumbles and is pulled into the vortex and as they are now meeting their end, they find the sliced up, mutilated and SKINNED body of johnny writhing in the dark oblivion there in.>>

"I CAN'T HOLD ON!"

Screaming, Ava's arm ripped clear off as the rest of her body went hurling into the siege perlious, disappearing.

reality

Gasping, Ava's head jerked up from Haleigh's couch in a panick. Eyes shifting around trying to figure out what was going on and where she was, she realized she was in Haleigh's apartment. Laying sideways on the couch, Ava pushed herself up, looking next to her and seeing Haleigh laying back waking from the nightmare as well.

"It was a dream.."

She stated the obvious, but still....she never remembered falling asleep. Running her hands back through her hair, she looked to her sister through confound eyes.

"Are you alright?"

Glancing to the numerous monitors that were still floating in front of the couch, Ava watched as everyone in Melrose Place began to wake up. Everything they experienced was all orchestrated by Barbas. They all just lived through the same nightmare.

"How the hell did Barbas induce everyone to sleep?"
 
Apartment 8

Blaze’s scream were easily drowned out by the howling winds at the sight of Nicolas, Alison, and Ava pulled into the vortex. Their names being screamed out by the brunette.

As the dream had concluded Blaze was violently thrashing in her queen size sleigh bed only to fall hard onto the floor, waking her up. Both green eyes snapped open as she noticed she was on the floor. Looking around to see no skeletons, no fire, no vortex, and none of the others.

Touching her pounding heart, Blaze would gasp for a breath obviously shaken up as she moved to sit up. Her body drenched in perspiration that clung to her top. Climbing to her feet, she scooped up the comforter before placing it on her bed.

Quickly walking out of her bedroom door towards the bathroom. Blaze’s face looked flush now, still trembling with fright at the realism of the dream. The familiar sinking feeling of dread creeped up on her.

Moving into the bathroom, Blaze shut the door before turning on the faucet. Splashing her face with cold water.

From the bathroom, Blaze could hear Sharon’s voice screaming in her apartment. Almost an identical experience as the one Blaze had. Wiping her face, Blaze exited out of the bathroom.

“Sharon?”

Moving into the guest bedroom, Blaze moved to sit down on the edge of the bed. “Are you okay? What an awful dream...it felt so real.”
 
"I was trying to SAVE us, I didn't exactly have time to DISCUSS my intentions!"

"Well I don't need to suffer a damn heart attack seeing you pull away from me ON TOP of being sucked into the vaccum of HELL, okay."

Claudia sighed out heavily, shaking her head dismissing the whole subject.

"Come on, lets hurry up and get out of here."

Turning with Clara to head back down the hallway, suddenly the apartment began to roar back to life again. The black hole was sucked into the vortex and Claudia felt herself and Clara being pulled backwards toward the doorway.

"HANG ON!"

Claudia's hand reached for something to anchor herself and Clara with, but everything was moving with them. The whole apartment seemed to be tearing apart! Digging her finger nails into the wall in a futile effort to keep herself and her sister [whom she was still holding hands with] from being sucked into oblivion, Claudia's nails pealed back painfully causing her to loose her grip on Clara.

"CLARA!"

She had her by the finger tips, but the pull was too strong. Feeling her sister slip from her grasp, she watched in horror as Clara tumbled toward the vortex....and toward a mutilated JOHNNY who stood waiting within the darkness! Claudia wasn't far behind her sister. Loosing her footing, she flew to the ground and was sucked into the vortex as well.

Reality

Laying on the ground in her bedroom, in reality Claudia had just got finished getting dressed after her bath. Slowly, her eyes opened....everything was a bit hazy.

"Ooh...ow..."

Pushing herself up from the floor using her forearms, Claudia's head ached. Probably from collapsing to the hard ground. Lifting her hand to her head, the haziness soon began to lift and she realized what had just happened. The vortex...Clara being sucked into it!

"Oh God...Clara!"

Scrambling to her feet, despite feeling a bit dizzy, Claudia quickly left her room and ran down the hall seeing Johnny and Clara laying on the couch, both waking up as well. Claudia closed her eyes and sighed in relief.

"You're both okay...I thought..."

Stopping, Claudia opened her eyes realizing it was all a dream. Just like the other dreams she had been having. Unaware of the fact Clara and Johnny had experienced the same dream she had, for all she knew they could have just fallen asleep naturally and SHE was the one having weird psychotic dream episodes.

"Okay, i'm going to sound certifiable....but did you two just have a nightmare about all hell breaking loose around here?"
 
apartment 8

SHIT!

[ Sharon exclaimed as she bolted upright....she felt PAIN on the back of her forehead. she'd been hit...HARD...but the mutate was made of sterner stuff...what could have done this?]

[ she was in Blaze's apartment and she looked this way and that...]

where...where is everyone?

[ she said with a shaken tone as she pushed herself up and stood, just then, Blaze came in. it was quite dark, with only the faint moonlight showing through the cracks of the blinds. Blaze asked if she were okay.]

yes...i think so. something hit me in the head. are you okay, Blaze?

[ Blaze commented on the nightmare she had and Sharon looked at her.]

did you see or dream about ...the others? fire...skeletons...and that terrifying vortex? the gem that alison calls the "seige perilous"?


[Sharon had the same dream, but how had some come to be HERE? she was confused and truly dismayed. the sounds and voices...still echoing in her head.]

the others...

[ she wanted to stand up, but she felt dizzy herself. it came from being forcefully jarred awake. something or someone had seperated them from the nightmare, but who? so many QUESTIONS. while she was confident in her training from the Amazons, even THIS was not something they had really spoke on. Could they have encountered Barbas too?]
 
Apt 8

where...where is everyone?

"As far as I know everyone is in their apartment."

yes...i think so. something hit me in the head. are you okay, Blaze?

"You hit your head? I'm good but I had a strange dream well more like a nightmare. But in my dream you managed to actually hit your head.."

Frowning at the thought and the coincidence of everything.

did you see or dream about ...the others? fire...skeletons...and that terrifying vortex? the gem that alison calls the "seige perilous"?

"Yes! You had it too?!"

Blaze couldn't believe the two had shared the same awful dream.

the others...

"I'll call the others, okay? But you better keep your ass glued to that bed, I mean it Wonder Woman!"

Blaze reached across the nightstand for the phone before dialing Morgan's number. Hearing the number ring while looking over to Sharon, hoping her sister was okay too.
 
MP -- Apt 5

"I… I can't hold on much longer!"

She exclaims, as her nose starts to bleed… she was nearing her limits… something she didn't experience often… but she realized that if SOMETHING didn't give… she would HAVE to let go.

"Alison, turn it OFF!"

Alison WAS the one usually responsible for the siege perilous… it wasn't an outrageous idea to think she might have some control over it, and Haleigh didn’t have the presence of mind to consider that if Alison COULD have done something, she might have already. Nicolas started to help, Haleigh started to PASS OUT… the vortex only GREW. The metal screen disappeared into the vortex….. Then members of the Six began disappearing into it too.

[Whispered] "No…"

*****

Haleigh gasped as she woke up, sitting up sharply and groaning… her nose bled again, and she wiped it gently with the back of her hand as her sister asked her if she was okay.

"I… think so. This is just… from mental strain. Nothing to worry about. My systems have already begun correcting themselves."

Ava: "How the hell did Barbas induce everyone to sleep?"

I think a more important question might be… why did we all wake up? [standing slowly to make sure she'd be steady on her feet] I think we should all gather together again… in reality, this time."
 
Nicolas could feel Haleigh will slipping away, along with his own. He grunted with the strain of keeping everyone tethered to him.

Suddenly, Nicolas BURST open, popping like a pimple as his skeleton and muscles flitted away from the hull of his skin which was momentarily still holding everyone back. With a gasp, he flew forward into oblivion, barely registering with horror that he had failed to keep then safe even though he had given his...

...NOTHING. Nicolas fell to the floor in his own apartment, his body had been levitating off the floor as he'd gone through apparently this horrible DREAM. A quick scan told him Mike was here too, and that he'd shared the experience. Agitation throughout MP told him that they ALL had been there, that this was a shared event that they SOMEHOW managed to be spared the ultimate fate of.

The question was...HOW?! Even a being a powerful as Malice or SET had not managed to induce mass sleep in everyone, leaving them helpless in their dream. As Haleigh suggested that everyone meet, Nicolas concurred, cleaning himself up quickly and emerging into the courtyard to wait for the others in his dark suit and matching trench.

Haleigh...when everyone is ready, I will be waiting in the yard...
 
MP -- Apt 6

The vortex at the door won the battle all too soon…. They didn't even make it to the window when they were SUCKED towards it again. Clara looked over her shoulder into the vortex… Claudia fought HARD to keep them both together… but they were down to fingertip grasps now and it was clear they weren't going to be able to hang on this time. Clara looked back at Claudia… making reassuring eye contact.

"It's okay…. You can let go now…. I love--"

She was ripped out of her sister's grip and flew threw the air… Claudia came right behind her. Clara COLLIDES with Johnny… his body terribly mutilated, skinned! Clara's face contorts in grief, then HORROR as she realizes he's still MOVING!! He's gravely injured… to a point where he shouldn't still be ALIVE but she tries to steady him and coax him any way. It's a terrible thought, but it crosses her mind that the BEST thing she might be able to do for him at this point is to euthanize him….

****

Clara opened her eyes to the sound of a rainstorm… she was groggy and more than a little confused… and she was on the couch, snuggling with Johnny, leaning against his shoulder with her legs in his lap. She wasn't sure WHAT was going on…. She rubbed his chest gently to wake him.

"John?"

He opened his eyes… she breathed a heavy sigh of relief. It was JUST A DREAM… but still…. There were so many things she wanted to say… she thought he'd died! She wasn't sure how she would've handled it except to say it wouldn't have been good…. She opened her mouth to try and form the words but Claudia was RIGHT THERE upon them. Both Johnny and Clara began to awkwardly untangle themselves slowly, as if maybe Claudia wouldn't NOTICE they'd been cuddling in their sleep… and maybe they could separate smoothly enough that her sister wouldn't act like she'd 'caught' them doing something inappropriate… but that wasn't the focus…. and what Claudia WAS saying gave Clara chills.

Claudia: "You're both okay….I thought….Okay, I'm going to sound certifiable…but did you two just have a nightmare about all hell breaking loose around here?"

"Wait… YOU had it to? Earthquake, Fire, nasty slimy skeletal remains everywhere, screaming Vortex of HORROR, right?"

Johnny: "Yeah… that sounds about right."


"All right…. So, what? We had a JOINT nightmare? Why??"
 
apartment 1

:: Alison gasped in shock as her TIME STAFF snapped in two! that wasnt possible. even Nicolas couldnt effect the physical properties of the time staff...it was a talisman bestowed upon her by Hecate! she lost her grip and as Nicolas was torn from his own skin, she SCREAMED with horror before she slammed, HORRIZONTALLY into the doorway and her neck SNAPED much like the time staff. she was dead even as her body was sucked into the cosmic gateway.....dead....again.....::

:: but....::


NO!!

:: she shouted with fearfull survival instinct as she jolted away, on the guest bed in Delilah's apartment, she felt a pain in her neck..and immediately checked...it couldnt be broke, she'd be dead! she looked, Delilah was in the chair across from her and looked similarly startled and shook up.::

:: the TIME STAFF was in tact, the large garnett jewel at the top of the staff shimmered and hummed softly.::

a dream...so real...you had the same dream? the others must have too.

:: she looked in that mirror again and saw her BROTHER, Cameron again, looking mournfully at her.::

but something, someone pulled us out before it was too late!

Barbas is coming back, stronger than ever! its not just a "cycle"...its PERSONAL this time.

:: after they deem themselves okay, she and Delilah get up, slowly but surely and make their way to the door...the rain falls and the thunder rumbles softly but it seems like a naturally occuring night time storm this time.::

:: they both want to see about Karen and Morgan.::


:: and so, as the scene eeriely replays itself in some ways....they , along with everyone decide to converge upon apartment 4. what will they find? Even the precog feels like she's taking steps in the dark.::


:: the zaccharas and johnny are experiencing the same thing, but for now, the two groups remain seperated. the six KNOW that the the zaccharas are having a similar experience...but the zaccharas do not know all that is happening to the six yet. their paths will come together soon enough whether they like it or not. for now though, apartment 4 is the next stop for the rest of the six.::

apartment 4

<< Karen , laying on her side, jolts awake with a start of fear. she's still in her new costume. she was out in the front room of her daughter's apartment in the dark on the large sofa. >>


<< where were the others? it was so dark...the rainstorm was outside, but the apartment was undamaged...nothing had happend...and yet...it felt so REAL!>>

<< she looked around quickly, her breathing still more rapid than normal. but even as she realize she was awake she felt like Barbas was still in the room with her. but THIS TIME...she would not be immobilized. just as she remembered the dream, in frightening detail, so too did she remember Blaze and Mike's words of encouragement.>>

No.... not THIS time!

<< she stands to her feet, first thing to do is check on Morgan. TINKERBELL comes out of no where, meowing with intent. Karen bends down and scoops up the enchanted familiar.>>

we'll go together tink...and if there's anything wrong...you get the others...while I deal with it...WHATEVER it is!

<< was she afraid? YES...but would she be immobilized this time? NO...not if she could help it.>>

<< down the hall they went, with Tinkerbell's little heart beating more rapidly too. the door to Morgan's room opens....and Karen finds Morgan on her bed....AWAKE and visibly shaken, but her right shoulder and arm are covered with ELDRITCH armor and there is...a silver pentagram of protection around the bed!>>

Morgan! honey....

<< Karen rushed forward with Tinkerbell and embraced her daughter.>>

are you alright? the nightmare...


Morgan: Mom...I was SO SCARED!

<< Karen held her, much like she did in the dream>>

Karen: I know baby...I was too. But i ....that's what Barbas WANTS.

He's here ...and he's coming after US. Not just you and I, but ALL of the Six.

We just had...a terrible nightmare, but it was more than that. and yet despite all of it, we escaped! we were PULLED OUT!

<< Karen wondered if it was Grammie...or maybe Hecate?>>

Morgan: Who...who is Barbas?

Karen: << looking at her daughter and brushing some of her hair away from her face.>> we'll talk about that...but i think we should bring everyone together.

<< neither one was entirely thrilled with Nicolas, but they had less to FEAR from HIM than they did Barbas! and it seemed BOTH women took more from the astral nightmare than just the fear itself. the SUPPORT the need to COME TOGETHER.>>

<< for Karen...Mike reassuring her that she COULD rise to meet her Grammie's legacy in the face of this ages old menace...THAT stayed with her too. this was only JUST beginning, but at least they were able to stand...to FUNCTION now where is in the nightmare, both of them were overcome by fear...they were HYSTERICAL :p :D>>

<< at that moment, the front door sounded like someone was at it. Karen looked over her shouder and stood up. >>

stay here Morgan!

<< at that moment, the phone rang in Morgan's room. Karen was leaving the large bedroom, and walking down the hall, Karen paused in the sitting room once more, and caught sight of the Darkhold, before the knocking at the door came.>>

Barbas wouldnt try something so absurd as to pretend to knock...

<< She may not have been crippled by fear, but she was understandibly cautious. she came to the door and opened it to find Delilah and Alison.>>


Delilah...Alison....oh thank the goddess...

<< she brings them inside.>>

where are the others?
 
"Wait… YOU had it to? Earthquake, Fire, nasty slimy skeletal remains everywhere, screaming Vortex of HORROR, right?"

Claudia nodded as Johnny verbally agreed as well. Biting her bottom lip Claudia took a seat on the love seat placed next to the sofa.

"All right…. So, what? We had a JOINT nightmare? Why??"

Claudia shut her eyes, her hands cupping around her face for a few moments before she slid them back, combing her fingers through her hair. She knew she had to tell Clara about the voices and her other dreams. This wasn't just effecting her now, it was effecting Clara and Johnny as well. But for whatever reasons, Claudia had this nagging feeling of weakness if she confessed what had been happening.

"Someone's targeting us.....[looking over at Clara and Johnny] This isn't a coincidence, neither was my dream early in the bathroom. I've had them before...all the same....all terrifying.."

Standing from the loveseat, Claudia scoffed out in disbelief at how she was being toyed with. How she was so easily taken advantage of and manipulated. This was completely unacceptable in her eyes, and the last thing she wanted was for anyone to find out about it, much less Clara. But there was no hiding what had happening now. It was happening to everyone.

"I've been hearing VOICES and seeing things for Christ sakes."

With her hand on her hip, Claudia turned away for a moment, running her hand back through her hair.

"I thought I was going insane. I thought I was going insane like daddy.."

Her words trailed off, Claudia moreso talking to herself than to Clara or Johnny. Shifting her eyes over to a small decorative clock that sat on top of the fireplace mantle, it was nearly five in the morning. Sleeping was definitely not an option. Atleast not until they figured out what was going on. Changing the subject from her announcement that she thought she was having delusional episodes, Claudia sighed out.

"I'm going to make a pot of coffee."
 
"I think a more important question might be… why did we all wake up? [standing slowly to make sure she'd be steady on her feet] I think we should all gather together again… in reality, this time."

Ava nodded, standing from the couch as well. She felt a bit woozy but it was nothing she couldn't handle. Heading out of the apartment along side Haleigh, they crossed the complex and headed for Morgan's apartment.

Delilah...Alison....oh thank the goddess...

<< she brings them inside.>>

where are the others?

"We're right here."

Arriving just when Karen was inviting Delilah and Alison in, Ava stepping into Morgan's apartment, looking over everyone to make sure they were all okay.

"Is everyone okay?"
 
MP -- Apt 6

Claudia revealed that she'd been hearing voices and seeing things and Clara had the fleeting thought that maybe her sister WAS insane in a way previously only known to affect their father…. But she said she'd had the dreams before and she seemed to think they were linked… and since they'd ALL had the same dream, Clara concluded that it COULDN’T be a case of hereditary mental instability… because JOHNNY wasn't the spawn of Satan [aka Anthony Zacchara].

So that meant someone WAS messing with them… and Clara could only speculate as to why… perhaps them moving here was threatening to the local organized crime factions.. And SOMEONE had the power to intimidate through supernatural means… but they just didn't know who they were trying to mess with here. The Zacchara's weren't merely helpless humans…. And they weren't going to sit back and allow a bully to chase them out of town either. Claudia announced that she was going to make a pot of coffee… Clara wanted to hear about her PREVIOUS nightmares and why she thought they were linked.. But she knew it would be like pulling teeth. She saw an opportunity to corner her sister in the kitchen and give Claudia the chance to tell her out of Johnny's earshot, in case that bothered her.

"Johnny… will you give us a minute?"

He nodded, mentioning that he thought he'd left some things in Clara's room, and headed that way as Clara got up and headed in the opposite direction, following her sister into the kitchen. She watched Claudia for a few seconds as she filled the coffee pot with water and searched the cabinets for the coffee grounds… and then she took a deep breath and crossed her arms.


"So are you going to tell me what your other dreams were about…. Or do you plan to keep lying to me?"
 
Claudia made her way into the kitchen, grabbing the empty coffee pot and filling it with water. Searching through the cabinets for the coffee grounds and filter, Claudia glanced to her left seeing Clara leaning against the counter top seperating the kitchen from the livingroom. Claudia knew she wanted answers. It was only natural after hearing that her sister had been having nightmares and hearing voices.

"So are you going to tell me what your other dreams were about…. Or do you plan to keep lying to me?"

Opening one of the cabinets, Claudia became annoyed. Not so much that Clara was asking what her previous dreams were about, but that she knew she had lied earlier.

[sharply] "Why does that matter?"

Slamming the cabinet shut, Claudia walked over to the coffee maker and placed the filter in it before pouring the coffee grounds inside.

"They were dreams that were meant to scare me, which they did."

Putting the pot into the coffee machine, Claudia turned it on.

"We need to figure out who's behind this, not play twenty questions about what Claudia's dreaming about."
