The nightmarish creatures pursued me relentlessly, their grotesque forms moving with unnatural speed and agility. Their claws scraped against the pavement, sending shivers down my spine.

I had never seen them here before. Never, in the dozens of times I came here have I seen them.

Fear fueled my every step as I weaved through the labyrinthine alleys, desperately trying to put distance between myself and the pursuing horrors. My breath came in sharp gasps, my legs burning with exertion, but I pushed myself to keep going.

Mother's 'lobby' was part of the dream fabric, yes, but any fabric of the dream world altered by a dream walker often had weird rules pertaining to the physical world laid down. Knowing mother, I did not want to find out what dying here had in store for me.

Resting my head against his shoulder, I found solace in his embrace, grateful for his unwavering presence.That said, his action had caused a lull in their discussion, and as the cause of the disruption, I thought it only normal that I pushed it along hence I nudged Lin gently with my elbow."Come on, do not be like that, Leon was only being playful. You of all people should know how he is," I said. "He just couldn't help himself when he saw me. After all, it is not everyday you get to see someone both as good looking and forgiving as me.""I would say have a cadre of girlfriends who are just as good," Leon said, affecting a thinking pose."Are you saying my mate is average?" Lin demanded with a barely withheld smile."No, of course not," Leon replied. "I simply have good tastes in women."Snorting, Lin buried his nose into my hair."You gu
