The new kid

Chapter 9: Dream-walking.

Next morning when Dominic woke up and had showered, he went down in the kitchen to get some water. When he arrived in the in the kitchen, he got a shock. Gannondorf and Link were making out and so were most of the people who sat at the table. Dominic had to grip the door for support because he was really dizzy and everything were a blur, then darkness as Dominic fell to the floor unconscious. Then Dominic woke up suddenly and saw Fox lying on the bed sleeping.

"Whew, just a nightmare." Dominic said to himself. He then slowly got out of bed and went silent down to the kitchen, looking around every corner. Then he slowly peeked inside the kitchen to see if anyone were making out, but nobody were there. He then crept towards the living room, no one there either. He then walked up to the rooms to see if they were there. He knocked on Zelda and Samus's door, but it slowly opened and Dominic peeked in.

"Hello, anyone home?" Dominic asked. He walked into the room, but couldn't see anyone and turned around. There stood the Grim Reaper with his scythe and swung it at Dominic hitting him in the left arm. Dominic woke up screaming and it woke up the others. Dominic sat in the bed shivering and pale. They others came running in and saw Dominic.

"Dominic what happened?" Zelda asked.

"First I dreamt that I woke up and went down to the kitchen to get some water, when I saw that everyone where making out, and the feelings overwhelmed me and I passed out. Then I dreamt that I woke up again and went down to look if it weren't a dream, but there were nobody anywhere and then I went to check on yours and Samus's room, however you weren't there and I turned and saw him." Dominic said still shivering.

"Who did you see?" Link asked.

"It was the Grim Reaper and he swung his scythe at me and hit me in my arm then I woke up." Dominic said and looked at his arm and paled much more, there on his left arm a half deep and long cut could be seen and it were fresh, because there were some fresh blood running from it slowly. In addition, it was the last thing Dominic saw before passing out.

"Will he be ok?" a male voice asked.

"It's not that bad, and it's more the shock of it that worries me, and we should keep him under observation for at least an hour." A female said.

Dominic slowly opened his eyes and to start were everything a blur, but he focused after awhile and looked at the people standing by his bed.

"What happened?" Dominic asked slowly. They people smiled at Dominic and he sat up.

"You passed out of because of the shock you got from the nightmare." Dr. Mario said.

Then Dominic remembered everything. He quickly looked at his arm but nothing could be seen. Fox sat down on the bed and smiled at him.

"Don't worry, it was just a dream." Fox said and gave Dominic a hug.

"But what about the cut?" Dominic asked.

"That can I explain." A deep voice said. In the door, a tall man looking like Dominic and his sisters.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Dominic asked.

"I'll tell you later, but now about that dream you had." Dominic's dad said and sat down on the bed besides Fox.

"It's called dream walking and it happens sometimes for people with gifts like us." His dad explained.

"Dream walking?" Dominic asked he had heard of it before, but didn't knew exactly what it was.

"Yes, it's a rare gift that comes from your visions and empathy mixed together with your control over Time and Space. If you haven't noticed it, your powers behave after your mental state, awake or sleeping." Dominic's dad said.

"But what is this dream walking, you got away from explaining that." Dominic said.

"It allows you to shape or change your dreams while dreaming." His dad said.

"So, that when I dreamt that I woke up from the first dream and the next, I was dream walking? But what I don't understand is what the Grim Reaper was doing in my dream?" Dominic asked confused.

"Your feelings my son." He simply said.

"Of course, then I had the first dream, I was filled with love and lust, and some fear. And the second dream was pure fear and then when I couldn't find anybody it turned into angst and then I thought about death, the Grim Reaper appeared." Dominic said as it dawned on him. Then another male voice called out.

"Baryl, where are you?" someone called.

"Coming Evan." Baryl said and looked at his son.

"Evan is here?" Dominic asked happy. His dad, Baryl, nodded. Dominic then smiled happy, got up from the bed, changed quickly into some clothes, and ran out of the door. Dominic ran down the stairs and saw a man on his father's height, standing there. He was quite handsome and that were Baryl too, according to the top ten polls in Draconia.

"Evan!" Dominic yelled happy and tackled Evan in a big hug, and then Baryl came down the stairs also and hugged Evan.

"Hi, handsome." Evan said and kissed his lover. Dominic just rolled his eyes and went over to Fox and gave him a small hug.

"So, how have you been?" Evan asked in his deep voice and ruffled Dominic's hair.

"Fine, except this morning, I was apparently dream walking as the Grim Reaper attacked me and such." Dominic said and looked at Evan.

"Wow, a Dream Walker, they are really rare nowadays." Evan said. Then Dominic's empathy caught some faint feelings, but it was enough for him. His powers strength had increased some more since he came here, and his empathy's interception range had expanded so he could feel the most of the mansion at once, but it would be faint at the end of his interception range. However, Dominic's eyes caught the mirror, he saw something moving in there, he walked over to it and looked, then two familiar looking arms grabbed him and tried to pull him in, and he tried to fight back; however, two more arms grabbed him and pulled him in the mirror. Then loud yelling came from upstairs and Dominic came running fast down, blushing scarlet red, and ran into the living room, and where followed by the girls. Then they stopped and looked at the two males, and then Eva smiled broadly.

"DADDY. EVAN" Eva squealed and jumped in her dads arms giving one of her famous hugs and Hellena smiled and gave Evan hug. Then the girls switched and Hellena gave her dad a hug and Eva gave Evan a hug too. Dominic used this time to get away from the girls and ran into the living room while laughing at the girls.

"Excuse us dad, while we murder that bastard for messing with our stuff." Hellena said and ran with the girls after Dominic with hair combs and other make up stuff. Baryl and Evan just shook their heads and walked into the living room with Fox. They walked in and saw that Dominic were about to be caught.

"Dominic, why don't you stop Time?" Evan suggested.

Dominic nodded and made the throwing pose at the girls, however it didn't work because Hellena had blocked it with her magic. Then he jumped over the girls, jumped up the walls and out of a roof window and jumped down and landed on all fours and was about to run into the woods, but were thrown back by a magic shield that Hellena had casted.

"Now girls, don't be too rough with him, he is still weakened from this morning." Baryl said smiling at his daughters. They had a tendency of trying to kill Dominic whenever he messed with their make-up stuff.

"Why is he that?" Eva asked.

"Dream walking." Her dad answered.

"Congratulations brother." Hellena said grimly. She had heard that it were dangerous to dream walk, and that you could be killed by it.

"Not funny, maybe you wanna get killed by the Grim Reaper." Dominic scowled at his sister. He then walked into the kitchen and took some water, when Fox came up behind him and hugged him.

"You haven't eaten anything yet, should I make something for you?" Fox asked as he kissed Dominic's neck.

"Yes thanks you sweetie." Dominic said as he turned towards Fox and kissed him. Fox smiled and made some food for Dominic who happily ate it. Dominic cleaned the dish and walked with Fox out of the kitchen again.

"I will be outside most of the day, training." Dominic said as he walked towards the front door. He walked out in the garden, where there was a pond, grass, some trees, plain soil and a fireplace. Dominic smiled at this and made a fire in the fireplace.

"Let's go out and watch him." Baryl said and had his arms around Evan's waist.

All of the smashers went out in the garden to see Dominic train. When they arrived Dominic were about to begin and he didn't see them. He held a hand towards the pond, while his eyes were closed, when a snake of water appeared. Dominic let the snake move around him and then he held his arms over his head and shot it up on the air and towards the smashers who were terrified. However, his family was calm. In addition, just before it would hit anyone it flew up and back at Dominic who let it upwards once more and making images with the water. He then guided it high up in the air and made a big dragon, making it move and then let it fall down in the pond again and made a water golem. He then finally let go of the water and it fell back into the pond and were calm once again. Dominic then opened his eyes and saw the audience he had gotten and smiled at them, they clapped at him demanding an encore and whistled at Dominic. He then closed his eyes again and then held the same hand towards the fireplace that began to flare and were bigger now. Then a snake again appeared, but it divided in three smaller snakes that flew around Dominic and now were three rings instead and they moved up and down changing from white to dark blue. Then Dominic moved his hand up in the air, and the rings followed. Then they connected with each other, making various signs and mystical symbols. Dominic then extinguished the flames and opened his eyes again and they showed a little tiredness, but he continued. Dominic made two stonegolems and let them fight, and after awhile, they fell down. He then walked over to the grass, kneeled down, laid his hands down, and concentrated hard.
Then suddenly big colorful roses grew from the grass and then Dominic stood up.

"Step back a little, it's gonna being dangerous now." Dominic said to the audience. They stepped back and Dominic went out in the middle of the garden and held his hands over his head and started spinning round fast and a small, slender tornado formed around Dominic. He then spread out his hands while spinning faster and the tornado increased in strength and size, and then the soil began to tear up and flew around the tornado too.

"Watch this." Baryl said. Then Dominic's hands glowed red and then flames were flying around with the wind until it became a tornado of fire, however then water and earth flew into the tornado too and it changed color and substance. Now it was a white tornado but it suddenly began to sway violent and were beginning to get out of control. Dominic where on all fours and panted. He fell to the ground but lifted himself up slowly, Dominic stuck his hand out at the tornado's wall, it slowly began to shrink, and Dominic used all his energy on it and collapsed when the tornado stopped and disappeared. He had exhausted himself on stopping it and slipped unconscious. He could feel someone lift him up and carried him inside, but he didn't knew how it were and fell asleep in the persons secure grasp.

Meanwhile was it Evan who carried Dominic and sat with him on the couch while he was resting. Dominic where now dream walking again, and were trying to learn how to control it, when he walked around in a meadow and saw a little spring. He took a little phial that he had in his belt and put it under the water and filled it, and then his dream changed and he were at the mansion, but this time everyone where there. He saw Evan hold him and Dominic blushed, Dominic loved him much and Evan knew it. They had even shared the same bed because some years back Dominic were afraid of the dark and his dad weren't there so he got comforted by Evan and Dominic could tell him everything, and if Dominic were feeling down, Evan always cheered him up again. Dominic went over to Evan and looked at him, he was smiling sweetly and then Dominic's dream changed again this time he were in a forest, walking when he saw a new spring and took out a new phial and held some water in it and then Dominic woke up while holding the small phials in his hand. Dominic nuzzled more up to Evan and felt secure here and smiled.
