Chapter 5: She created a nightmare
Heh heh. This chapter is super short, please forgive me. Also this chapter was co-written by HathorsFavorite, my all wonderful friend. I hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: Ok I own only Moonriver and River. Otherwise nothing in this painfully short chapter is mine.
All went silent as the sound of the alchemy just behind Moonriver's door stopped. River finally got the door open. She and Keket looked across the threshold, only to be confronted by a horrible, bloody sight. Two bodies too horrific to describe lay gasping for breath. Moonriver sat there, a looked of shear disbelieve. "This has to be a dream. This has to be a dream. This just can't be real!" she cried. River stepped into the room, trying to keep her gaze from the bodies. She pulled Moonriver out of the room, Moonriver staring at those horrible things the entire time, not struggling at all as she was dragged. Keket only got one look, but the image burned into her mind. The sound of them trying to breath, the smell of blood also burned into her mind.
"Keket I'm sorry but I have to be alone with Moonriver for awhile." River said quickly, still pulling Moonriver, whom seemed to refuse to move.
Keket walked to her room, her head swimming. Fck questions, they were swimming with fear and horror. As soon as the door was closed, she vomited all over her floor. After a minute or two, she staggered up, only to collapse back down, sweating horribly.'Shit.' She closed her eyes, trying not to see what she saw. 'It's like...It's like when I was back in hell again.' She had been dead briefly before, but it had almost eradicated itself from her mind. The were-cat preferred not to remember or talk about that time. It put too much awake in her that longed to be forgotten. Sitting up, she brushed back her hair with a claw. 'I need to get out of here for a bit. Moments later, her window was open, the black curtains billowing. She wasn't to be seen for quite some time.
River lay in her bad. Moonriver sit not far from her, her eyes looking empty. An awkward silence lingered about the two. River stared out the skylight, unable to turn her gaze from the cloudy sky. "It has to be a dream. It has to be a dream." Moonriver whispered shakily. "It's not a dream Moonriver!" River shouted angrily. "If it's not, then… then…" Moonriver said. "Then what!" River spat. "Then I've created a nightmare." Moonriver said looking at her bloody hands. River looked at Moonriver. "Then exactly what is this nightmare you've created?" she asked. Moonriver looked at her, tears streaming down her face. "Homunculi."
