Nightingales POV
nightmares are a cross between a figment of imagination and the demon realm if a child or even an adult has the same nightmare more than one hundred times they are possessed by the dream and never wake up.

Hi my name is Nightingale and I am a dreamwalker with my powers I can detect people who are at risk of their dream killing them and I can manipulate them into dreams saving the life of the targeted victim. For the last few months I have sensed a child who is close to being lost in their dream but he must have powers because somehow he's blocking me I cannot get into his dream. I've already asked Raven to help being the worlds most powerful empath I thought she might be able to sense him, but he seems to be blocking her as well so we cannot find him.

I do a bit more delving and find that in titans tower Starfire also known as Koriand'r is at risk and is on her ninety ninth nightmare so I prepare for a dreamwalk and enter hers...I thought I was ready but this dream freezes my very soul...

Starfires POV the dream
I wake up and stretch, Oh what a glorious day, I leap up happily and skip into the kitchen as I enter the scene before me brings tears to my eyes, there is Robin on the floor in a puddle of blood...Dead. I turn and go look for Raven and Beastboy knowing that they are usually weak in the mornings and I find them dead, decapitated. worried for the last of my friends I go in search of Cyborg and Nightingale... I find Cyborg first he is on his back with a knife in his forehead surrounded by a puddle of oil and blood eyes seeing sightlessy above him. Then I find Nightingale he is alive but only bearly he looks up at me and mouths the word run and he dies in my arms. Theres an evil laugh and I turn around and see the titans greatest enemy...Slade he smirks at me and throws the knife...

Nightingales POV the dream
This will not do if that knife hits her then even though this is not her one hundreth dream she could still die as this one is stronger than most so I have to put a stop to this.

Starfires POV the dream
As the knife flies towards me I see a flash of white in the corner of my eye and slade screams and covers his ears... transforming into a large shadowy mass and exploding in a ball of light and the knife changed into a flying silky and I catch him and bring him into a hug before being hugged by the titans saying its my birthday I spend the rest of my time with my friends before I awake
