To Dwell In Nightmares and Dreams

Time Flies Quickly When You're...

The hands were easy to avoid but they always made Stiles feel very uneasy. The fact this cell was a copy of the one he used to be in also messed with him as well. He couldn't stop flashbacks from that time, coming back to him.

But it was easier to get through, easier to ignore because whenever he felt nightmares leaking into his mind, Flower would lean into him or write something in the dust, bringing him back to this strange reality.

That's right Stiles would tell himself, it wasn't just him in danger. This was all for Alicia and he also had to protect this child.

He promised everything would be okay after all and he intended to keep his promise.

It seemed like she was being used by the curse and he definitely could relate to the feeling of being used.

It was strange feeling to lose complete track of time, so it was even stranger when what he had thought had just been a couple of days, turned out to be a week. 

Without warning and without any sound before like what usually happened, Stiles tensed in surprise as the shadow of the hand slithered out behind the door but what had him in more shock was the object the hand was holding. 

Somehow despite being a non physical shadow, a mirror piece was moving on the shadow, like it was physical thing. 

Wait, the mirror piece?

Had it been a week already?

The hand then left the room, leaving the mirror piece on the floor. 

Then the door appeared behind them, creaking open. 

They had done it Stiles realised wish shock but had all that time really been a week? He felt like time had moved so quickly, mind you an idea as to why things had been over so quickly popped into his head. 

He had spent most, if not all his time talking to Flower in the dust. 

Assuring her, comforting her, having mean-less conversations about what her favourite animal was and what she wanted to be when she grew up. 

She had told him she wanted to be a farmer and own lots of horses or a sorcerer like him. 

Stiles had just smiled at that, deciding to not to damper any of her dreams. 

He had, had fun talking with her, maybe thats why the time had passed so quickly. Stiles picked up the glass peace and with Flower clutching his clothes, they walked through the door. 

Just like all the other times, the glass piece flew from his hand and fitted into the frame. 

Alright, two doors left, Stiles thought. 

Compared to the second one, the third one had been easy, he hoped it would continue like that but he knew it was unlikely though it felt nice not needing to be aware of how much sound he was making. 

Stiles and Flower opened the forth door, stepping inside with some hesitation.

As soon as he saw where they were Stiles stiffened, eyes widening. 

"No way" He muttered. 

They were back in the sorcerer realm but something about it all felt wrong... 

Sorry for this being a day late, I just wasn't feeling very well. I can't remember if I have said this or not but we are on the last part of the story, how many chapters will depend on how much detail I put into the events that'll happen so unfortunately I am not sure how many chapters to go, likely definitely more then ten chapters left but thats all I know so far, anyway hope you enjoy and you are all well x
