Day 374 | Shared dreaming
[ Something that is red is....?]

[It's snowy. The wind is strong, pushing against your body. It makes it difficult to stand against the blizzard that blots out the sky turning everything to white. It's cold, too, the area mountainous with only scattered trees. The only thing you can be thankful for, is that you seem to be dressed appropriately for the weather. But the more you wander, freezing in the elements, you'd really like to get out of the storm and into somewhere warm. Looking down to try and keep the snow from hitting your face, you glance down, and that's when you see it.

In a world covered in white, red stands out.

Blood.

It covers the ground, staining the snow in a bright color that can't be missed. That's when you hear it, though. There's a voice up ahead. Looking up, you can clearly see a man. Smiling as though he had just won a prize, he speaks down to a little girl no more than five years old who stands in the midst of the blizzard.]

Are you lost, little girl? [The smile widens and he reaches down toward her. A snarl overtakes him, and lips parting, pointed fangs are clearly visible as he grabs her roughly] If that's case, then may I drink your blood? [The child is petrified, her eyes widening as the man grabs her, forcing her head to the side as he easily restrains her within his grip.]

...! Sto-- [She starts to cry in a young, terrified voice. You know and realize immediately that if you don't do something, he'll bite her.]

[Disciplinary Committee]

Hold it right there!

[With a hand held out dramatically, she points at you. It's dark, but thanks to the lamps that decorate the many crisscrossing paths of Cross Academy, you can both see each other clearly in the dark. Upon inspection, the one who's suddenly stopped you is a long haired brunette, dressed up in a black school uniform. You might not know her, but usually she is recognized as being the Headmaster's adoptive daughter and the younger sister to the infamous Kaname Kuran.

Adjusting an armband near her shoulder, she places her opposite hand on her hip.]

Don't you know it's past curfew? I'm going to need your name and class number.

	[The bullet hits its mark, and as it pierces through the vampire he only has a moment of surprise. His eyes widen before he explodes into ashes and dust. Yuuki herself collapses into the deep snow when released. Blood sprinkles her jacket, with dots of it splattered across her face. Catching herself, she tries to rise up to her feet.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He doesn't holster the gun — not yet — but makes a point to keep it away from the girl as he makes his way over through the snow. ] Are you okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[At the very least no one else seems to appear as he moves forward. As for Yuuki, however, she doesn't speak, as though the words are locked up tight inside her. Eyes watering, her lips tremble as her gaze lifts up to find his.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Well, that just about does him in. It's not a smart thing to do but what choice does he have? Gun lowered, Reid kneels down by her, arm outstretched to offer up a hug. ] You're safe. He's gone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Swallowing thickly her small hands clutch onto him as he holds her. While she doesn't speak, the cold is biting. He might notice a mansion up ahead, coming into view despite the blizzard and snow!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Well, that seems like a plotpoint if he ever saw one. Holstering the revolver to get both of his hands free, he scoops up the girl and makes a start for the mansion. It's really freezing cold out here. No other options, really. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[As he approaches the steps to the manor house, a large black wolf with red eyes is standing at the ready near one of the doors. It remains rather still, it's gaze watching Reid as he carries the girl. If he watches closely enough, he'll notice it faintly shift from time to time, the outline of wings appearing before it merges back together to form the shape of the gigantic dog.

It doesn't growl or move, but Yuuki shifts in his arms to get a better view of it, and after a moment struggles to be released.]

	[ He's not too happy about there being a wolf around, even with it being as still as it is. There's some reluctance at letting the girl go but she's the boss and so he kneels down to set her safely onto the ground. ] Be careful, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Grasping his sleeve, she smiles a little before giving it a tug and pointing toward the black beast. Running forward she wraps her arms around him, and compliantly his tail wags, ears perking up a little. Giving him a pat on the head, she directs him forward toward the doors.

Lifting up she tries to reach for one of the handles. But the door's so large and heavy, she doesn't have a lot of luck with it. Glancing back to Reid, she patiently waits for him.]

[ He follows with extreme caution but nothing seems to happen and then the teeny tiny little girl is trying to open such a massive door and okay maybe he'll follow her to the end of the road at this point. He's not the strongest man in the world but he's also not a tiny girl — it takes some effort, perhaps more than he's willing to admit, but he does get it open for her. ]

Do you know where we are? [ Yes, he guesses. ]

[She nods, and as the dream shifts just slightly from the one consisting of her first memories-- after losing them, she glances around.]

This is Yuuki's home.

[Despite all of what happened, she can talk again. It had taken her quite a while in the past to begin using words again after that night on the snowy mountain.

The home itself is elegantly decorated however. It's clear she comes from wealth. It's almost a little too picturesque, however. There's no pictures. There's nothing to indicate at all that a family is living here, almost as if it's staged, with nothing out of place.]

	You live here? [ The recognition of who this little girl actually is isn't so much a sudden blast of memory as somehow having known all along. Of course it's Yuuki. Who else could it possibly be? He takes a look around the room. It feels like a movie set. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	resinkept 2016-06-03 11:17 am UTC (link)
	[She nods, glancing around. Fingers curled up into the wolf's fur she keeps him close to her.] But we aren't supposed to be up here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-06-03 04:42 pm UTC (link)
	Right. [ Still feeling uneasy, but- ] Is there anyone else here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	resinkept 2016-06-03 06:10 pm UTC (link)
	[She looks troubled for a moment by his question.] Yuuki doesn't know. [Because something seems wrong. Moving ahead, she wanders up one of the halls and into another room, pausing for a moment in front of a wall. Glancing around, it's clear she appears a little lost, however.] . . . Yuuki can smell mother in the place that Yuuki lives. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He follows close by, not wanting to be left behind in this strange house. It's unsettling, even more so when she seems confused by the surroundings. ] Is, uh... is that a bad thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She shakes her head. She loves her mother. It's only that while she's accustomed to the scent of blood by now, even despite the fact that her fangs haven't grown in yet, it seems like more than normal.]

. . . [Remaining where she is and frowning in upset, she continues to glance at the wall, and bookshelf and objects around it. After a moment she turns around and moves back to him, lifting a hand up to catch his sleeve.]

Open it.

	thisiscalm 2016-06-04 07:34 am UTC (link)
	[ Open what is what he wants to ask and then he gets it. Secret door? Secret door. Has to be. He's always been good with this kind of thing and after some uhm-ing and frowning and gently touching objects before immediately changing his mind, Reid pulls out a book from the bookshelf. Did it work? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It works! The bookshelf slides, moving forward and opening up into a small room. In it is simply stairs that lead downward, as though moving into the cellar of a castle. Everything is brick, with wood paneling along the hall and stairs downward. It's wide, however, and spacious.

Everything is dimly lit from above.

Yuuki herself pauses once she reaches the bottom of the stairs and glances up and down the long hallway to either side.]

It smells like the place Yuuki lives over this way... [And as she moves forward and spots a door she dashes up ahead.] This! This is the door that father comes through every day.

[Reaching up she grasps the handle and pulls down. This door is heavy too, but it creaks open, and dim light pours out into the hall. Pushing it aside, she immediately moves inside into what appears to be a large family room, despite the lack of natural light or windows. And unlike above, while well decorated and designed, elegance clear, it's obviously lived in. Crayons can be seen scattered across a desk with childish drawings, and a couple of toys are seen throughout. There's snacks sitting on a table stand and some books lying around the room.

Aside from them, however, it appears empty.]

[ The basement gives him a flash of an intrusive memory, not strong enough to jostle the hold of her dream but disruptive enough to make him pause before following her down the stairs. The Fisher King, Randall Garner, creeping through a house much like this and not knowing what's waiting at the end of a corridor or at the bottom of a staircase.

He trusts her to lead the way though, trusts her to not lead him into danger and when they enter the one room that actually looks like it's been occupied, his shoulders sag slightly as he relaxes. ]

It's nice. [ More to fill the uneasy silence. He moves through the room, hunching down to look at a drawing. ] Did you make these?

[From peeking in another room, Yuuki turns around and nods. Spotting one of her stuffed animals along the way she pick that up. It's a silly looking bunny shape with it's tongue out. Glancing down to her art work she picks up all of the papers to show him, explaining them as she puts them down in a pile.

Most are just childish doodles. And all of them are of people or indoor activities.

Putting aside one, there's a picture of four people--- more like blobs, but the hair and eyes and stick arms and legs hanging off their bodies makes it clear regardless of her age what they are. On one side of a line drawn down the middle of the page is three of the blobs. On the other side is the smallest person blob.]

And this is Yuuki waiting for everyone every day... [She puts it down atop the rest, before putting her last bit of work down. This one is just a person blob with mix-matched eye colors. He has pointy teeth, and his eyes are drawn at a downward slant. If anything the blob appears angry.]

And this is the scary man.

	The scary man..? [ He asks carefully. You can tell a lot from a kid's drawings. ] Was that the man out in the snow? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She shakes her head no.] This one is different. He always watches. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-06-06 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	Is he here in the house? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She shakes her head.]

Yuuki can only smell mother and big brother Kaname. But Yuuki can't tell if they are here.

[Bounding up from the table she crosses the room and moves down the hall.]

Brother! [Moving into his room she glances around.] Brother...?

[As she moves further inside it appears normal. But, in the corner of the room, is a blood stain. At least it appears old.]
