Dreams and Nightmares
6. Dream IV
As for entering the city that stole children's souls…she'd never dreamed she'd do it. That sounded like something her sometimes stupid brother would do instead, with his friends playing adventure while fighting away the shadows that followed them into the countryside.
But not her. She was the good girl who didn't go around chasing scary shadows…but then those shadows became more than shadows. The countryside they lived in seemed to get emptier and emptier…and then their friends started vanishing. And others followed…and, eventually, Sorincha followed her friends in following them, making a mask for herself because that was the rule.
