Dreaming
”Kyra! Kyra!”
A young cat demon bounded towards her through the forest, ears perked and eyes wide with something that resembled excitement.
“What is it Kota? I’m busy, can’t this wait?” She replied flatly, eyeing the badly crafted spearhead between her fingers skeptically. She sighed, withdrawing a short knife and running it with swift precision along the blunt edge, trying desperately to ignore Kota’s rapid panting. She looked up, however, as a frightened whimper escaped the cub’s lips. Her eyes narrowed in concern. “Kota… what’s wrong?”
“Kyra, come quick! There… there are hunters in the forest; they’ve picked up our trail! Please, we gotta hurry!” He pleaded, grabbing onto her wrist and dragging her to her feet. The spearhead tumbled soundlessly onto the damp ground but neither took notice, already sprinting off towards the camp, thick smoke curling from above the trees.
When they arrived, the sight before them was not a pretty one. The various make-shift homes they had built were now reduced to nothing but useless piles of black ash, a few pieces still smoldering in hungry flame. Screams rose up, agonized and scared. Bodies were sprawled on the ground, lifeless eyes staring, fear still lingering within now dull gazes. Blood flowed in rushing currents, drenching everything in a dark sheen of crimson and black. Kyra inhaled sharply, her stomach giving a violent twist. She swallowed hard, fighting the nausea that threatened to overtake her.
Kota let out a sob and clung to her, hot tears already spilling from his widened eyes. His entire form was trembling. “K-Kyra… what have they done?”
It took her a moment to reply. “Kota… go to the caves. Run. I’ll try and help the others…” she commanded in a sharp whisper, eyes still fixated upon the gory scene before her. When the cub didn’t move she pulled him away, crouching down. “Kota, listen to me,” she murmured, taking on a softer tone as she held him by the shoulders. “You have to get to the caves; your parents are probably there already. They’ll be worried sick about you, now go!”
The young cub worried his lip between his teeth, hands fisted. “But Kyra, I-” he began, although stopped, finally giving a defeated nod and turning around. With great reluctance, he sped off, disappearing through the thick foliage.
Kyra exhaled and turned back to the village, her heart beating wildly in her chest. The noise was almost deafening. Blood was rushing through her ears, eyes narrowing into slits as she leapt forwards. Suddenly, a hand snaked outwards, catching her by the throat. She let out a strangled cry as she was slammed into the ground, snarling as she tried to pry the cold, vice-like fingers from around her neck. Her eyes cast a heated glare up into the face of her captor.
Aerin?
He leaned down with a low chuckle, lips brushing over her collar bone and leaving a searing trail across her flesh. She writhed and struggled but to no avail. Sweat dappled her brow.
“My beautiful Kyra, my Kyra. All mine. All mine, mine, mine…” He chanted the word over and over, like a mantra, all while reveling in the feel of her flesh against his own. He smirked as she screamed, pain shooting through her body at every selfish caress. “No…” She cried, twisting in agony.
“No!”
The dream came to an abrupt end, leaving the horrified cat demon sprawled and trembling upon the bed. His bed. Her fingers clung to the sheets, tears glittering in her eyes. It had all seemed so accurate, so real, all up until the end. That was not how things had taken place, and yet somehow that only added to the terror she felt.
Sitting up, she blinked back the tears that clouded her gaze, trying desperately to compose herself. Her heart was aching. She missed her family, her friends. She missed Kota. Drawing in a quivering breath she stilled, shutting her eyes. You will see them again, she reassured herself. You will.
Releasing the bundled sheets from within her grip she forced herself to calm, eyes falling closed as she leaned backwards. Before she could even obtain a moments relaxation her head gave a sudden throb, the pain exploding behind her eyes. She whimpered, clutching it in her hands. Her fingertips brushed over the shallow gash near her temple and her lips curved into a sharp wince. “…Nn, it hurts…” she growled lowly, a groan issuing from deep in her throat.
“Well, that’s what you get for being a naughty girl,”
The sudden voice caused her to start and the pain only doubled, this time a cry escaping her open mouth. She stiffened, coaxing her eyes open, not having realized she’d closed them during her bout of pain.
“You should have seen yourself, pet…” Aerin continued, his tone cold as he watched her from his position in a nearby chair. “Thrashing about in your sleep, whispering words and names… were you dreaming of me?”
A grin played across his face, eyes twinkling with bitter amusement. Slowly, he rose from his seat, relishing in the infuriated glares he was being shot so generously. “You must have been, for your breathing was terribly rapid and your back was arched up off of the bed... I believe I may have even heard a soft moan leave those pretty little lips of yours.”
Kyra snarled. “You must have been the one that was dreaming then,” she hissed, huddling her exposed body close, hiding it feebly from his searing gaze. He chuckled, although the sound was filled with no matter of happiness. It was merely hollow and dark, resonating loudly about the spacious chamber.
“Well then, I suppose I won’t have to dream any longer, will I? I’m quite sure I can achieve the same results in reality…”

Author\'s Note: XDD I\'m sorry for all of these cliff-hangers. I just can\'t help myself, but I know how annoying they must be for a lot of you. Don\'t worry, though, I\'ll try my best to get the next chapter up soon. ^^ Anyways, please R&R if you can and thanks for reading!
