A/n: Hey all! This story came to me at 1:00 in the morning and I just had to type it. Mandy/Amanda is a character I made up. This is kind of a look in the past of John/Pyro. He has supposedly been friends with Mandy for quite a while. Enjoy!


The Dream


By the time he got there, she was drenched in a cold sweat and her covers were twisted around her leg because she had been tossing and turning. Her face had a look of pure fear. John slowly reached down and gently shook her shoulder. She awoke with a start and sat straight up in the bed.

"It's alright, Mandy," he said, trying to comfort her.

The girl abruptly burst into tears at hearing his voice.

"Amanda, what's wrong?" He asked her, worried about whatever she dreamed that made her this upset. He placed his hand on her back to comfort her. She flinched under his touch, but stopped crying.

"Amanda, are you okay?" John asked her.

"Go away," came the reply.

"Tell me what's wrong."

"No. Leave me alone."

"I'm not leaving until you tell me what's wrong."

She mumbled something that sounded like "Ijmklya."

"What?"

"Ijmklya." she said, louder this time.

"I don't understand you."

"I DREAMED I KILLED YOU! HAPPY NOW?" She yelled at him.

"Oh. How?"

"What?"

"How?" He repeated.

"How what?"

"How did you kill me?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Tell me or I'll never leave."

She paused a little, tilting her head in thought. "Okay." She replied.

"Hey!" John said.

"Fine, I'll tell you," She said, sighing. Taking a deep breath, she began to tell her dream.

"I dreamed you and I were in the park sitting on a bench, talking. Then you leaned over and kissed me. While we were kissing, you started to pull away, but I wanted the kiss to last forever so I didn't let you go. After a few seconds, you just went limp. I thought you were playing until I realized you weren't breathing and your heart wasn't pumping. You were dead." Her voice broke on the last sentence and she turned so he wouldn't see her cry.

"Is that the whole dream?" he asked softly.

She slowly shook her head no.

"Will you tell me the rest now?"

"Yes. After I found out you were dead these... shadowmen* came out of the bushes. They grabbed me and started to take me somewhere, but I bit one on the hand and kicked another on the knee. They both disappeared an one came at me with a sword and you woke me up."

"Wow." Was all John could think of to say.

"I guess we should go back to sleep now, huh?" She said sleepily.

"Yeah, I guess. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Then he paused, leaned over, and gently kissed her on the lips. "See you tomorrow." And he was gone.
