She didn't sleep again for the rest of the night, she was shattered but she didn't want to risk getting pulled back to the dream room again so soon. Her energy was low physically and spiritually and the pull was strong she wanted to see him again but she didn't know if she could until she had refreshed herself.
Ray was snoring lightly next to her his hand draped across her like he was worried she would disappear, once he was awake they would head back to the shop and see if Frank and Haylea had uncovered anything though she wasn't sure how distracted they might have been seeing as Frank never returned home last night.
Later that morning they headed through the shop doors. Haylea was sat behind the counter her head in a book but she looked up and waved as they walked in and was all smiles as always. Frank was sat in his usual seat and his hair was a mess and he had a huge grin on his face, something definitely went down last night she thought exchanging a look with Ray.
'Hope we aren't interrupting anything but did you find anything out yet?' She said with a smile looking between Frank and Haylea and barely holding back a giggle at their blushes.
'Well we have something that might interest you, it seems this Gerard may be able to do some sort of astral projection? That or your doing it subconsciously. We need to look further into it I called an old friend who's dropping some books off to me later' Haylea had managed to compose herself to speak.
'Ok hopefully the books will have some info because it happened again last night and it drained all my energy, I'm still not even sure how we are connected enough for astral projection we haven't even met before. I have names to search up though! Gerard and Mikey Way, if we find them in real life we might be able to do something to stop the dreams.' She looked between them all hopefully as she spoke.
'I'll get on searching their names could take me a while depends if they are on any databases. I'm good at this if they are there I'll find them!' Haylea said with conviction. She believed her she had never let her down before.
They had got into so many scrapes in the past with spells gone wrong and Haylea was the one with all the knowledge ready to help them. Her Internet skills surpassed anyones she had ever met she could track anyone and anything down with a few clicks.
Between the four of them they set about reading and researching. Haylea was busy tracking Gerard and Mikey down, Frank was sticking close to Haylea with his head in a book about astral projection and kept scratching his head looking confused. Some of this supernatural stuff was beyond him but he never let that stop him, powers or not he was fully part of the gang.
Ray had gone off into the books to find protection spells she could use while sleeping he had wandered off muttering about protection symbols and amulets. She had decided to pull out her laptop and sat down in one of the big chairs at the back of the shop where they had coffee sometimes. She needed the comfort today as she was feeling so wiped out from last night.
She started typing his name into the computer and had zero results. She should have known better but she was so tired it was hard to concentrate. She needed to stay awake she couldn't risk sleeping again yet but it was a struggle. She looked over at her friends all deep in their research and realised how lucky she was to have them all. She was thinking about how much they were putting them selves out to help her and before she knew it her eyes were closed.
Fuck! She thought as she opened her eyes and she was in front of him again.
'Gerard do you ever stay awake? I'm here again' She said with a nervous laugh. She found she could move her arms a little this time and wiggled her fingers in delight.
'Your moving! Need some help?' He asked and stood and made his way over to her.
'Please, but we need to move quicker this time I'm so drained of energy I don't know how long I can last' His expression changed when she spoke and he hurried over and engulfed her in a hug as he lifted her to a standing position. He didn't let go once she was on her feet though and held on tighter.
