River was sexually frustrated, to say the least. She couldn't look at Amy without feeling extremely turned on or embarrassed. When Amy had said they'd had that same dream, she told her the summed up version: you turned into a monster, then you were you, then I woke up. If she went into any detail, she would jump the redhead and take her right there. So she used defensive and bitchy, so everyone felt how shitty she did. The doctor had sprung into their tent almost as soon as she'd acknowledged that they'd had the same dream, he demanded if they'd had bad dreams, and River was sure she was going to burst. Amy saved her though saying that apparently she and River had had the same dream but they'd seen the other turn into their own respective monsters. After looking deep in thought for about two minutes, the doctor rushed out.
"Everyone meet at the fire in TEN MINUTES!" He'd hollered.
Now the entire dig team, save for Trinity and Marcum (who was watching her), were all sitting on the chairs around the big fire. The doctor had managed to make everyone coffee and now River and Amy sipped at theirs and waited for him to say something. Lea rushed into the circle and took a seat next to Chris, who handed her a mug, and then nodded at the Doctor.
"My earlier assessment of Miss Trinity's condition was wrong, I am very sorry. However, this is good, because even though she is in this coma she is not at any risk!" He grinned and then returned to pensive.
"I've got you all here because you all had strange dreams." A murmur of understanding passed through the group.
"It started off cheerful or pleasant? But then it was one of the worst dreams you've ever had, but before anything terribly horrid could happen it was pleasant again."
More like orgasmic. River and Amy thought at the same time.
"Because of this, I now know what we are dealing with! I've live long enough to know that bad dreams leave a black and flashing wise haze around your eyes, and pleasant dreams are more of a navy blue. These are living entities, and they must have formed over the six hundred and thirty one years of being unable to inhabit anyone's dreams. I also believe they are fighting, that the Nightmare Entity is trying to feed on the adrenaline these dreams produce, and that the Dream Entity is trying to stop it." No one spoke everyone was focused intently on the Doctor.
"We can't have anyone going near the dig until this is figured out. Everyone gets a day off, and Chris, River, Amy and I will go check out the dig site."
With that, everyone started to chatter, except River and Amy, who were too deep in thought to really register anything.
"Alright! You heard him, you can go back to your respective tents to sleep longer or you can stay around camp you can also go to the lake. No one leaves camp. Lea if anything happens you're in charge." The tall tan brunette jumped up and saluted.
"Yes Sir."
The walk wasn't long but the sun had started to rise by the time they were half way there. River and Amy were still wearing practically the same thing, jean shorts and opposite coloured tank tops with cream button down shirts on top. They were also both sporting rather big sun hats, along with their packs. As the dig site came into view, River stopped walking. Amy paused too, and after a moment, she reached over and tapped Rivers wrist. That brought the blond completely out of her reverie and almost jolting away from Amy.
"What're you doing that for?" She asked beginning o walk again.
"You spaced out." Amy said, and they neared the dig site after a few more minutes.
It lay undisturbed from when they had vacated the afternoon before, tools; even some packs were lying on the dry dirt. Chris and River went over to inspect the monitors, and Amy and the Doctor stood a little off to their left inspecting the big dig hole. The Doctor pulled out his Screwdriver and started scanning the air. As if on cue, a fit of tremors began, not quite as hard as the day before's but enough that they were struggling to keep their balance. Just as the tremors started to calm down a black mist started seeping out from the hole leading to the window. The four of them staggered backwards and away from it. It came to a swirling halt near the tree line and started to take a shape. Starting with a right foot it grew to about mid thigh before the Doctor spun around.
"Run!" He exclaimed and they all took off, in no particular direction, just away from the being that was already starting to look like a large shadow of a big man. Like a crack of thunder, it spread out and filled the air with a terrifying darkness. It crawled after them, twirling and spinning with tendrils of black smoke that looked like deformed claws and torn up fingers.
"Drop you packs!"" Chris shouted. River and Amy discarded their packs and kept running, River grabbed Amy's hand. If Amy fell behind the bracelet would stun her, which would not be very handy. They were running so fast that they couldn't see the drop coming up. Amy could hear the wind drumming in her ears and her eyes watering from how fast they were going. She and River let out screams of fright, as they suddenly didn't have ground under their feet.
"Amy!" The Doctor shouted, skidding to a stop over a cliff edge. River and Amy were suddenly underwater, and thrashing to find air. Chris and the Doctor turned to see their pursuer the black tendrils of smoke that seemed to stretch high into the sky suddenly sucked themselves into the form of a large black being that marched toward them with impeccable speed. Almost as suddenly the smell and sound of rainfall struck the two men and a dark blue being ran out from the tree and tackled the black one sending them both into the forest. As soon as they thought the beings had gone another black cloud emerged out of nowhere blinding them. This one was still, and the two torn their eyes form it and turned back to the cliff. Amy and River were climbing out of a small pool of water that led into a large lake, red rocks made up a sort of bed, it was somewhat chalky and both girl sat down and were instantly covered.
"What happened?" River called wiping her brow and getting red chalky dust on her forehead.
"The Nightmare started fighting The Dream, and now there is a huge fog of Dreamless blocking the way..." The Doctor called back, suddenly, their packs were thrown out of the mist and a long path was cut through the blackness.
"Dreamless? What's that?" Amy called streaking the red dust on her cheeks.
"When you don't dream. Just a black entity, completely neutral." He called back. Chris walked over to the edge.
"You two alright?"
"Yeah." River and Amy called back in unison.
"We need to go back to camp to get you guys back up here, it might be a while the Dreamless got us a path but you never know..."
"We're okay, just toss down the packs, and we can eat the travel snacks and drink the water until you get back." River called, standing up sending red dust all over. Amy sneezed and stood up too, both girls were now fully covered in red dust. Chucking, Chris threw the packs down to the girls.
"We'll be back, try to stay in the shade, this is one of those hot springs, the water is going to get really hot so clean off quickly." Chris waved, and he and the Doctor disappeared.
Amy took off her shoes, threw her hat onto the ground and removed the cream button down, then waded into the water splashing it over her face.
"Come on rosy or you'll turn red." Amy said taking a dive, a red trail leading out behind her. River smiled and shook her head, before removing her shoes, tossing her hat aside and taking off her button down and jumping it too.
Chris hadn't been kidding when he said it would be hot. A little away from the water was a grassy patch where the two girl now lay, the water was now steaming and contributing to their great discomfort, everything was hot. They'd been dozing in the shade for almost an hour and Amy was getting restless. She stood up and started pacing (something that had become a habit) starting from the grass and up until two feet from the water. She did that for twenty minutes. After that she sat down on the grass, pulled the hair band off her free wrist, and began to tie up her hair, she finished with a messy bun on the top of her head with a few strands falling out just beside her ears. River got up and started pacing, following the same path as Amy. Amy watched her, the rhythmic padding of her feet against the ground and the repetition of her going back and forth, made her drowsy, in a few minutes, she was dozing. River was suddenly completely tired of pacing and sat down next to the redhead, just planning to rest her eyes.
Amy and River opened their eyes at the same time, wondering what must have woken them. When they didn't hear anything Amy sighed and got up, River did too, and they both started pacing in opposite directions but following the same path. Amy fought the urge to jump the blond, the dream they had shared, it had been so vivid, so real. She wanted...She didn't know what she wanted; to touch, to be touched, feel affection. She wasn't sure, but if River didn't stop waving her goddamn gorgeous ass around she was going to get it. River tired to make herself justify the way she was currently feeling with some hormonal damage from time travel, it wasn't working and she was trying very hard to resist taking the redhead right then and there.
"River?" She turned around at the sound of her name, and out of nowhere, her wish was granted. The redhead threw her arms around her neck and kissed her hard, tangling her fingers in her hair. River kissed back, her hands finding their way to Amy's hips, and pushing her up against the rock wall, earning her a quiet moan. Amy's fingers roamed moving down to the hem of River's tank top and sliding up her slick tummy, getting her a chuckle and a deeper kiss. River stepped back and tugged off her tank top; Amy leaned against the brick wall and appreciated the view. River got all close into Amy's bubble letting their lips touch in the slightest and just stay that way until Amy got impatient and wound her arms around the blonde's neck and took matters into her own hands, pressing a needy kiss to River's lips asking for entrance. River agreed and deepened the kiss and starting to feel Amy up. River pulled Amy onto the grassy patch so that they were in much the same position as they had been in their dream, only now Amy was straddling River's hips and it was River's hand snaking into Amy's underwear. Pausing River's actions Amy kissed her hard getting her hands to the back of the blonde's neck and sort of massaging it, getting her a well-deserved moan. Amy choked out a broken moan as River's fingers slid over her heat.
"We've got to be dreaming." She moaned her hips pressing into the touch.
"Does it matter if we are?" River asked kissing along Amy's jaw line.
"No..Just, I'm never this bold, especially..." She stopped mid sentence moaning as River ghosted her fingers over her clit, and also making her think of one thing she really didn't want to. I'd be doing exactly what he did. I'd be just as bad as him. Amy wanted to stop, and she wanted so badly to continue. She didn't want River to be some sort of demented rebound thing. River slipped her fingers into Amy and she almost cried out, only a broken moan escaped her lips, and River started moving her fingers in and out.
"No...Stop..." She moaned as her hips rocked and she felt waves of pleasure course through her veins. River leaned forward a little to whisper in Amy's ear.
"Not likely, sweetie." She whispered and that was almost enough to make Amy give into the pleasure, almost. Her head rolled back and another moan escaped her parted lips, her hips moved on their own now.
"Don't...Bad as him...Stop." Her chest shook with tearless sobs and River picked up the pace, only making Amy moan again.
"If we're dreaming, you haven't done anything." That was what she needed to hear.
"Gawd, don't stop." She rocked on River's hand and kissed to wicked blonde with a fiery lust she hadn't ever felt before.
"That-a-girl." River said, and it must have been one of the sexist things she'd ever heard, because she could feel herself getting closer with every movement River's talented fingers made. A strangled moan left her lips and she leaned her head on River's shoulder.
"River..." A moan broke her sentence and a pleasured cry took its place, and she tightened around River's fingers.
"Gawd River!" She bit down hard on River's shoulder.
Amy rolled over gasping, momentarily blinded by a cloud of red dust she had kicked up. The adrenaline and pleasure she'd just experience was almost as vivid as if it had been real, and she lay gasping for a few moments trying to compose herself. She sat up a moment later to meet River's shocked gaze, her hand was covering her neck, just where her shoulder met. She moved her palm and a decent amount of blood was there. Amy shot over and had the blond in a kiss before the thought, blood, even occurred to her. River (momentarily forgetting the blood) wound her hands into Amy's hair and kissed her back, letting out a quiet moan a how nice if felt to kiss the redhead for real.
"Oi, Pond! River! Rescues here!" By the time The Doctor stuck his head over the side of the cliff the girls were separated and looking only slightly dishevelled.
"Well, Allons-y we have a long trek back to camp.
