Just Another Day...

" Sophie! SOPHIE!" Dex screamed as he ran through Foxfire, no one walked the empty silent halls. He ran and ran down the seemingly endless expanse.

Did it end?

Did it ever end?

As he ran, he heard the screams of his friends. They were in trouble. And he had no idea where they were.

" Dex! Help us!" Biana's voice screamed through the halls. Dex tore his hands through his strawberry blonde hair.

" Biana? Where are you?!" He pleaded as he ran through the halls once more, dashing by doors and turns, his cape flying behind him.

" DEX! HELP!" Sophie screamed. But no matter how much Dex turned corners and ran, he couldn't find them. Tears streamed down the boys face as he screamed for his friends.

It was no use.

He couldn't get to them in time.

" Looking for them?" Fintan cackled as Dex quickly turned around to see his worst nightmare.

Biana, Sophie, Keefe, and the rest of his friends strapped down to machines. Fintan and Lady Gisela walked up to them, opening a box.

The box was hauntingly familiar.

He hoped and prayed that it wasn't what he thought it was.

Dex's eyes widened in horror as Fintan pulled out a crown size jeweled circlet.

No.

It couldn't be.

Dex threw it into the fire. Everblaze burned it. It wasn't possible.

" Mr. Dizznee, I thank you for putting these Ability Restrictors together for me on such short notice." Fintan said as he pulled out more. All suited specifically for his friends. Dex's legs wobbled Sophie Style when he realized what Fintan said.

" I- i didn't make those! I vowed i never would ever make one of those again! I would NEVER hurt my friends!" Dex screamed as he stumbled back from the nightmarish scene that was happening before him. He was restrained by black cloaked figures as he watched in horror when Fintan put a circlet on each of his friends as they screamed their pleas. He cried out as he watched his dear friends sob as they writhed in pain.

" You were too weak to help Dex." Fintan said as he came up to him with a cloth in his hand. Dex sobbed as Fintan raised his cloth to his face.

" Now sleep."

" NO! PLEASE! NOT AGAIN!" Dex screamed as Fintan pressed the cloth over his nose.

Dex gasped for air as he woke up.

It was a dream.

A horrible, horrible, dream. Dex let a few tears fall as he caught his breath.

" Hey- everything ok in here? I heard you gasp pretty loud." Lovise said as she popped her head in the room. Dex quickly wiped away his tears and forced a smile.

" Yeah! Just thought I slept in for a moment there." Lovise nodded and went downstairs to help Juline gather the triplets for breakfast. Dex reluctantly trudged out of bed.

He had been having these nightmares ever since he and Sophie got kidnapped.

Every.

Single.

Night.

At first he let his parents and bodyguard know. They tried, they really did. But- it wasn't enough. Eventually Dex just lied and said that the nightmares were gone.
