My name is Eclipse. You can call me a demon, or you could call me an angel. But still, I'm only a girl.
Only a girl in charge of her nightmare.
Dreams are easy to catch. When you see them, you'll understand. They are beautiful and shiny. And they are all you'll ever need.
But you can die from dreaming. You can die if you make it too perfect.
That's why you shouldn't sleep too much.
Because soon someone like me will come along.
And We'll steal it away.
And leave you shivering in the dark.
"Amy!"
She turned. "There he is! Sonic!" She called, waving her arms wildly.
I smiled when he dodged her hug. He instead said, "I'm here to pick you up." Before his eyes settled on me. I guess it's strange…to see a wolf. "Who are you?"
I smiled. "A friend." I said.
He blinked. "Well. I'm Sonic. Sonic the hedgehog!"
Amy grinned. "He's my boyfriend."
"I am NOT." He protested.
Their hearts beat harmoniously. Yes, they were in love. How perfectly wonderful. It made me…jealous. And jealousy makes me steal… the dreams.
I hide jealousy with interest. But that doesn't always work, because sometimes it's not interesting.
And then I want to just take the dreams away.
"come on, Eclipse!" Amy said. "you have to come for lunch!"
I nodded. But…
If I was awake, it would be lunch now. I closed my eyes. Yes. The clock said, in fluorescent green, time for lunch, 3:20. If I woke up, would I die?
I opened my eyes. "Lunch…sounds good."
It always seems like everything's going around in a blur. I never take time to look at my surrounding, because when I do, they just blow around faster like a pile of leaves. I don't want to wait until the picture is clear. I just want to move ahead. That's how Sonic seems. Just like me.
But he's a super sonic speed runner, and I'm just a lone wolf. Just a silhouette in a picture, a shadow in the misty haze of memory. Nothing… is like me.
"So where you from, Eclipse?" Sonic asked.
I looked up from staring into my tea. "I just came from Diamond Valley." I said.
"Diamond…Isn't that where all those weird things were happening?" Amy asked.
"Weird things…" I repeated. Weird. When people lose their dreams, the word to describe them is weird. It's weird to be that way isn't it? "Like what?"
Sonic gaped. "You didn't see it going on? I saw it on the news!" He grinned. "I wanted to go over and check it out. Then Eggman had to step in, so I stayed here. But everything's quiet over there now."
"It was some hunter!" Amy said. "Hunting for precious jewels."
"I heard they were black," Sonic cut in.
"Yeah, and the hunter used their mind to like tear people apart. Like, they were screaming and crying about the worst thing that happened in their lives…" Amy continued.
The story wasn't all the way true. I was looking… for food.
"The weird thing is the hunter didn't touch any of the DV's other precous stones. You know, Diamonds." Sonic said.
"Yeah, it seemed funny." Amy sighed. "Can't believe you didn't notice it, Eclipse!"
"…" I smiled. "My surroundings aren't all that important."
Amy shrugged. "Suit yourself."
I looked down at my tea. I had stopped eating the solid food here, in this Nightmare, and I started only eating the dreams that I caught. No, I can't drink this tea…
Because this tea is spilt.
On the fabrics of my Nightmare.
