" Hello there." He said. I was surprised by his appearance… by how much he resembled
Jesse, that is. He had dark skin and hair, and eyes that reminded me of Jesse so much, I
could swear they were related. " I trust that you have been enjoying your little chat, have
you, Shifters?" Paul swore a bit, and Conner just laughed. It appeared as if he was
walking on nothing, but I guess it was believable considering I was floating on a chair
and all.
"Why are we here?" I asked, annoyed with myself for not figuring out why yet.
"Why are you here? That is easy miss…" He took out a small note form his suit pocket
and read it, " Simon. Miss Susannah Simon. You are here for one simple reason… to get
me out." I looked at Paul, and he looked at me.
" Can't you get out of the dimension yourself!" Paul spat out. " I mean, you sure as hell
got us in here easy, and yourself." Conner Hayden glared at Paul.
"If I could get out, I wouldn't have had to dream you into here! You see, that's my
specialty. I made this world…" He spun around, as if to show off a prize. " I was a young
boy, when a woman asked if I'd like to have infinite powers, I didn't take her seriously
you see, and I replied 'Oh yes of course I would Madame.' And she touched me. She
gently lifted her hand and touched me very lightly on the shoulder. A tap you could say.
And then I left, thinking she was crazy. That is… until I fell asleep. I found out that I could change things. It started out little, you know, things around the room, little objects here, and there." On the words here and there he skipped a bit. Man, he was whacko. " and then.. I changed big things, dates and times. Until one day, I thought to myself, why change the world, when I could make the world! So I did, and here I discovered how to alter dreams…and reality. Unfortunately…since I am in dream world… I can't sleep. So I can't dream myself out. I can change things in this world, oy yes, this is my play ground, but I can not remove myself from this world. And then I happened across the dreams of one Paul Slater. Oh yes my young fellow, I know your every thought. And I discovered there are those who can slip in and out of dimensions. So, I used my powers to dream you here. And I treid to get out… btu you weren't enough. Oh sure you talked the talk, but you just couldn't walk the walk. So I remembered how much you thought of dear Susannah. And I though ' Two are better than one!' So here we all are!" He laughed, and it didn't remind me of Jesse at all. " And the best part is, you have to let me out!"
" The hell we do!" Paul said. " Me and suze don't have to do anything for you! You, stupid coward!" He then turned his eery gaze to me.
"Is that how you feel?" He asked.
"Yes." I prayed that he couldn't hear the caustion in my voice. The fear.
