As Jamie stepped out of her light blue car, locking it, in front of her
apartment building. Being a waitress was exhausting. Taking orders,
cleaning up, at one oint she'd even had to help Daren, the chef, cook
the hamburger suprise. She wearily walked over to the elevater and
pressed 2. When she reached her floor, she walked down the hall
and to her apartment and opened the door.
The place was clean, she noticed with relief, and the demons were
watching one of her favorite Anime shows. OHSHC. Tso Lan, who
was in the kitchen area looked up from the stove. "Hello Jamie."
"Hey..." she said tiredly "Whatcha cookin'?"
" Tea. How was work?"
Jamie put her purse on the table near the door, "Exhausting..."
She plopped down into the hard, wooden chair at the kitchen table.
"So, what did you guys do while I was gone?"
"We watched the television. We also considered how to improve
the sleeping arrangements."
"Oh, what'd you come up with?"
"We are, as yet, undecided."
"Oh...guess that means I have to sleep in the bathtub again..." Jamie
sighed.
"No. We did find a solution to THAT problem," Tso Lan said pouring
tea into two of Jamies flowery mugs. He placed one in her hands
Jamie took a sip.
"Mmm...this is good... What kind of tea is this?"
"Dream Tea. It promotes good dreams" Tso Lan said taking a seat beside
her. "So what exactly is your solution to me sleeping in the bathtub?" Jamie
asked, taking another sip of the warm, relaxing tea.
"We've decded that Xiao Fung will sleep on the fold-out couch with
Tchang Zu, Dai gui and I," he said sipping his tea quietly, "Shendu will
sleep on what you call the futon. That way, you may have your sleeping
chamber to yourself. But, again, this is only temporary"
Jamie drank some more of the tea, and yawned, "I'm gonna go to bed..."
She stood, stretching, and made her way to her bedroom.
000000ooooo000000
Jamie tossed and turned, her comforter was kicked to the floor. Whimpers
escaped her throat
000000ooooo000000
"Pathetic Human SCUM!"
"Rip her apart!"
"Feel our suffering by the very hands you humans banished!" Dai Gui
growled viciously, backhanding her, sending her flying. Tso Lan used
hs powers over graity and hurled her to the ground.
Shendu shot a stream of fire at her, burning her leg. She screamed and
she had ran...but there was nowhere to go, and she just kept running..
and running...and Running...
God it hurt SO bad...
but she had to get away...
and then she spoted the library. She ran inside. There was Drago!
"Drago! Help! Your family is after me! They're tying to KILL me!"
"Come on," he said pulling her into a small room she did not remember
seeing before.
Still, he slammed the door shut and baracaded it.
Jamie heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness...thanks Drago...I thought I was a goner..."
Drago turned and faced her, his red eyes gleaming with an unnatural
light she'd never seen before.
"Drago....?"
He cackled loudly, "Now I've got you all to myself..."
He sprung forward and pushed her against the wall. Jamie struggled to get
away. "Drago STOP! What are you doing?!"
Drago merely silenced her with a slap, sending her sprawling to the ground.
He leaned down and bared his fang-like teeth. Jamie kicked and flailed
but was overpowerd as Drago grabbed her wrists in one of his clawed, green
hands and held them over her head.
"Please Drago, don't do this! You're my friend!"
Drago gave her a smirk.
"You don't have any freinds..."
and then she felt his hand move to cover her mouth
"I'm gonna enjoy this..." He said, grinning evily, burrying his teeth into her neck
ripping out a chunck of flesh
"Nooooo!"
She sat up in a cold sweat, gasping for air. The door to her room burst
open, It was Drago. Jamie yelped.
"What happened?"
"N-nothing...Just a bad dream... I'm fine..." Jamie said in between breaths.
"You sure?"
"Yeah...just a...just a bad dream."
"You wanna talk about it?"
"No!"
Seeing Drago raise an eyebrow, she forced a smile, "I'm fine...really...
It was just that 'dream tea' Tso Lan made. That stuff may be good, but
it gives you some really messed up dreams..."
"You sure?" He asked, his voice full of concern.
Jamie looked at him.
how could he be the same monster in that nightmare?
He wasn't
That's how.
He was DRAGO. He'd never hurt her.
Embarass the hell out of her?
maybe
but hurt her?
Never.
Jamie smiled, a real on this time
"Yeah...It was just a stupid dream..."
"If you say so..."
He shut the door with a soft click. Jamie picked her blanket off the floor
and laid back down. "Dream Tea My butt..." she muttered as she slowly
fell back to sleep.
000000ooooo000000
Tso Lan woke up to find Drago glaring at him.
"What do you want?"
"That stupid Tea you gave Jamie made her have nighmares!"
"Oh...I don't see why, It was perfectly good Dream Tea. I was in the
middle of a wonderful dream involving ripping the heads off of - Oh."
" 'Oh' what?"
"It was Dream tea for Demons....In humans it causes violent Nightmares."
Drago slapped his forehead in disgust.
"Of course it does..."
