I followed the team down to a tunnel. I was trying to listen to what they were saying and missed a step, slipping and whacking my back against the stairs. I let out a groan as I sat up to be faced with an arrow pointed in my general direction.
"Who's there?" Punz demanded as he pulled back on the string.
"It's me" I said and drank some milk to prove it.
"Hey Dream, you want to deal with this one?" Punz asked and Dream turned around.
"What are you doing here?" He asked as he motioned for the others to continue.
"I couldn't stay locked up in the house" I said as I took his outstretched hand and he helped me up.
"You know I was doing that for you right?" He asked.
"What leaving me without knowing what was going on?" I asked.
"Keeping you away from the fight-"
"To protect me" I mimicked, "I wasn't going to fight"
"So you didn't have to see the guy your in love with getting hurt" Dream stated.
I hadn't thought of that.
"I was only trying to help you" he said and I nodded. "It's too dangerous to go back just in case someone is waiting out there. So when we get to the end of this hall, you stay around the corner understand? You don't want to see it" Dream said and I nodded. With that we headed down the hall.

I could hear the voices from the other side of the wall. Suddenly the wall opened up and the Dream team barged into the room. Sounds of pain and fighting came between calling Eret a traitor and that it was all a trap.
"Down with the revolution boys, it was never meant to be" Erets voice echoed in the room.
"George! GEORGE!" Dream shouted and I poked my head in to see George on the ground looking on deaths door. Dream looked over at me,
"Come here" he said and I walked over. He grabbed my hand and placed it on George's wound, the warm sticky red liquid going between my fingers. "Look at me, I need to you listen carefully and repeat after me..."

Flower, gleam and glow
Let your powers shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt

Change the fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine

What happened next both surprised and scared me. The blood that coated George's shirt and my hand seemed to be sucked back into his body. The large gash on his chest closed, almost like I was watching it in reverse. George gasped as he sat up. I pulled away looking at my hands, that was me. I looked over at Dream who was focused on George and asking if he was alright. I looked up at Sapnap, Eret and Punz, all who looked as equally shocked as me.
"Eret" Dream said standing up, "our king" what? Eret was king now?
"Yeah! King Eret!" Sapnap cheered.
"Maybe now they'll surrender" Dream said. "You four go check on them and meet me back at Tommys house" his eyes turned to me, "I feel like we need to talk"
"No shit" Sapnap laughed as they left.
"What was that? And why didn't you tell me?" I asked as Dream helped me back up.
"It was a side effect from when I saved you when I found you, you were close to death and I guess I over healed you" Dream said as we started to head to Tommys.
"And why didn't you tell me?" I asked.
"Because I know you, there is a balance between life and death that needs to be kept. You can't save everybody Kiara, you need to know that, and I didn't want people using you" he said and I nodded. "I remember you were so small when I found you, I really thought you were dead, but I had gotten to you just in time" I could hear the small smile on his face as he spoke. We sat on some dirt by Tommys house.
"You make me sound like a puppy you found" I said with a small laugh.
"Your not a dog, your family" he said.
"A dog can be family" I said.
"Ok you're more like a little sister" he said a playfully nudged me. "Although you're not quite as little anymore" he laughed.
"You're telling me" I said with a small laugh stretching my legs out.
