welcome to my nightmare

Indigo didn’t often nap during the day, but he was exhausted today. He’d been all over Boreas and spent much time with Aslatiel and Duchess. Now that he returned to the Hallows he had thrown himself back into his duties and responsibilities. Especially looking after Gypsy. She had been sleeping when he came back to the rooms and when Indigo lay down beside her sleep swiftly overtook him. He’d curled around her snuggled into the prime furs he’d given to her for her bed. The soft cushions and plush furs assisted in Indigo's swift trip into dream land.

The castle was quiet during mid day everything was warm and comfortable and a soft breeze gently disturbed the air. Indy didn’t often dream, or he didn’t remember his dreams. When he did he wished that he hadn’t remembered them. On that pure peaceful day Indigo would descend into dreams. At first everything was beautiful, exactly like he wanted. Vibrants green leaves and beautiful flowers everywhere. Indigo’s huge form raced through a flower field, all the faces of those he loves surrounding him. Happiness filled him.

In an instant everything changed. A shrill scream filled his senses and all of the color drained from his surroundings. All through the screaming his gaze shifted to each loved one to the next and as his gaze rested on their features cracks filled the image and blood seeped from within before they crumpled. The screaming continued until Indigo realized it was him screaming, and suddenly he woke up.
