Reid thought he'd been flying forever. He was surrounded by swirls of color. Like lights in a circus tent they use for spotlights.
"Wait a minute." Reid said, and then he dropped like a stone.
He hit the hard dirt of the center ring.
"Ow."
"What happened?" JJ asked, breathing hard, getting up slowly.
"We're... in the maze?" Reid asked.
"Heeheehee!"
Thump!
"Oh no! No!" JJ backed into Reid, grabbing and climbing onto him, trying to get away from what had to be coming!
"Reid don't let her get me!" JJ whispered, panick stricken.
Reid's eyes darted every direction, where were they?
"Leave us alone Lyssa!" he screamed.
"L-look, look JJ, you see the tent flap? It's open! We can make a break for it!"
"Lets do it!" JJ and Reid sprinted towards the opening of the Circus tent.
They ran out into the sunlight.
The burning sunlight.
"AAHH!" JJ was screaming. She was on fire!
Reid was too!
"Heehee!"
thump
"JJ! GRab my hand!"
"Your on fire!"
"That's not important! You are too!"
JJ grabbed his hand, and he pulled her close.
"Just breathe and fall."
And they fell to the ground.
Where they kept falling.
"Heehee!"
Thump!
Wait a minute!
Reid's eyes snapped open and he stopped screaming, "How is she thumping?"
"What?" JJ screamed.
"How is she still crawling? Were falling through bthe air! If she were this close, she'd be falling to!"
"SO?"
"So, were safe!"
And with that, Reid landed ontop of JJ with a thud!
"Off!" JJ demanded, "Now!" Pushing Reid off.
"JJ were safe. We're gonna be okay. We're just dreaming."
The ground shuddered, "More like a nightmare." JJ mumbled.
"I have those all the time." Lyssa said sweetly from the darkness before her burned and mangled appearance crawled from out of the shadows. Heading straight for JJ.
"REID!" JJ screamed as Reid fought Lyssa off, struggling from the little girls strength.
"RUN! Find a way out!"
JJ nodded, running toward the light as, what they hoped was a door, opened.
"Your more fun anyway Uncle Orbus." Lyssa smiled, hugging him. Breaking his arms in the process. Reid screamed in pain.
"Why am I feeling pain?" He whispered, "You dont feel pain in-"
"-nightmares."
Reid woke up, sitting up quickly in his bed. The sheet flew to the floor.
Morning sunlight shown through the window, warming his face.
"What?"
Was this all a dream?
