The Years Before

Chapter 9 : Dreamer Screamer

Harry stared blankly at Krayon. "Come again?" Said Harry.

"My, aren't you slow. I said 'it doesn't matter what you think, if you don't pass my tests. You'll never wake up." Said Krayon.

Harry sneered at Krayon and said "well, where are these tests? I need to get back to the real world, more sooner than later."

Krayon merely smirked and said "ah, but you have already started, chop chop! You fail, and Eclipse becomes my servant."

"Fine!" Said Harry, sticking his tongue out at Krayon. Who just rolled his eyes and lifted his hands into the air and clapped them three times and muttered an incantation. And Harry disappeared into thin air.

Krayon's face then twisted into a scowl as he snarled "call me a curly-haired little fop, will he? Pffttt..." Krayon yawned then, before muttering the incantation and disappearing as well.

Harry dropped out of the middle of the air, landing on his feet. He was in the forest again, surrounded by monsters. Giant things, around 8 feet tall with one large eye in the middle of their chests. Long arms and legs that looked like sticks. Their flesh blackened with age.

"Chhhiillldd... tassttyy sweeeetttt..." Moaned a few out of mouths that didn't exist.

"What does he think I am, a child?" Said Harry crossly. These were child's play. A very low leveled demon. Harry sighed, raised his arms and saying "Dark Arrow!"

All that came out was smoke. Harry blinked "Ah... Dark Arrow! Dark Arrow! Dark Arrow!" He tried over and over again. All that came out was smoke, and the demons charged. Harry looked around, before turning tail and running with a scream. He didn't have any weapons. And his magic..

The least he could do was out run them. But they weren't tiring.

And Harry could only run for so long..

Eclipse blinked, sitting up. Harry was tossing and groaning in.. what really seemed like pain on his bed. Eclipse stood up, "what could be wrong now.." He mumbled. He jumped down from the chair and padded over to the bed, jumping onto that and landing on all fours. And he walked up to the pillows, where Harry was tossing and turning. Messy black hair becoming more tangled than normal.

"Mmmnnaaaa... don 'ea meh..." Mumbled Harry. Eclipse sighed, before laying down, it should end soon.. hopefully, like most of Harry's nightmares.

Harry could hardly breath now. The trees were endless. And the demons were only catching up. "I.. don't.. no.. I won't.. die like.. this.." Panted Harry, as he passed by a tree, cutting him off from the other demon's view and throwing himself in-between two large tree roots and becoming as small as possible.

Once the demons ran past him, Harry could breath again, and he did the smartest thing he could do, he climbed the tallest tree he could, to the high upper branches and plopping himself down on a branch. Leaning back and closing his eyes, taking deep breaths, regaining his ability to breath again.

Eclipse smiled mentally when Harry stopped thrashing. He knew it would end soon. Eclipse opened his mouth and yawned silently. Resting his head on his paws and closing his eyes and falling asleep where he laid.

Harry looked down on one of the demons that had wandered under his tree. Harry scratched the side of his head, what to do.. what to do..

He grinned, he had to get going...

Harry jumped to the ground, rolled and started to run again.

He had seen another, large house off to the west.

He might find someone.. or something that would help him..
