Sweet dreams

[innocent_insanity]

WHO: Kurloz & Rhys Rhydderch
TONE: Probably dark
RATING: R for disturbing themes
WHEN: 19th May - night time
WHERE: Starting in Slytherin dorms
WHAT: After Kurloz's first rather disastrous dream sharing with Rhys, this is attempt No. 2, going the other way around.
STATUS: Ongoing

It had taken some time for Kurloz to make peace with Rhys Rhydderch, but he'd done it nonetheless. After witnessing Rhys' disturbing memory from his youth, Kurloz now knew that no one else on campus was more likely to understand what he was going through than the eccentric Potions Master.

He didn't know when his dreams would have another visitor again, but he knew it would happen.

So that night, Kurloz set up his quill and journal by his bed as per usual and went to bed, slipping into darkness as he fell asleep.

She laughed, and the sound was truly awful, pained and dry and rasping, and thenshe turned her hands to grab at his forearms, trying to pull him into the fire, too. Her grip was terribly strong, and when she touched, she burned him, too, excruciatingly.

The cat screamed, the way only cats can, like a terrible baby howling, and dug her teeth into the back of his pants, trying desperately to tug him back from the woman trying to pull him into the fire.

"You have to burn it away," Maeve croaked at him, barely audible. "It's bad, Kurloz, this is the only way we can be free of it, of you ... "

Grunting with pain, Kurloz tried to pull harder at Maeve's arms. His eyes stung from the smoke and pain but he just grit his teeth and kept pulling, turning his head to snap down at the cat, "Let go, you might get cooked too!"

Turning his attention back to his mother, Kurloz urged quietly, "Mam, you can't be staying here, come on, lets go home."
