Rain poured heavily, tapping consistently against the windows of Constantine's apartment. Dream stared as she wriggled in her sleep, "She's having a nightmare, it's a memory about a little girl". I frowned "What happened to her?", he glanced at me with his usual sad eyes. He shook his head staying silent, something bad must if happened. I hate it when children get hurt, they're innocent little spirits broken and lost.

Before I could ask him again, Johanna woke up in a cold sweat. She breathed heavily as she tried to ground herself. She spotted Dream and sighed, "For fuck's sake". "Language" I warned even though she couldn't hear, "You know how humans are with their colorful words" Dream rolled his eyes. Johanna's traumatized expression turned into an annoyed one, "Is your wife always such a prissy thing?".

Dream stepped forward in a threatening manner, "Watch your tongue" his voice was more menacing then I was used to. I quickly grabbed his arm, it must have looked weird to her since she couldn't see me. "My love, please don't. Let's just get your things and leave", he took a sharp inhale and nodded. "I can make your nightmare..your bad memory go away", she scoffed slightly "Only if I help you find your sand".

Dream looked around in disgust, "Though, finding anything in this place may require more magic than even you can muster". I playfully hit his arm, he hid his smile and instead crossed his arms. "Maybe your Angel is not as bad as I thought, I'll check my office", I raised my eyebrow "Pretty sure that's the whole point of us but thank you". "She said thank you" Dream informed the woman passing by, "Try not to clean up while I'm gone".

He turned to follow behind, "We're coming with you, you gave a gift for disappearing". She shrugged "Alright, but if the mess in here offends you two, wait till you see my office", not sure if I want to. I observed her little home, it was dark and cluttered. There were a lot of books and paperwork scattered. In the midst of it all was a small box that looked to belong to a child.

Perhaps the little girl Dream described, I picked up a pink teddy bear. Soft to the touch and full of childish love and admiration. "My queen?Are you alright?" Dream placed his hands upon my shoulders, "Yes, I can just feel her pain of loss for a friend and daughter figure" I carefully placed the toy back into the box.

I've spent so many centuries playing with the children in Dreams realm but not once has he mentioned having one of our own. I wonder what they'd look like, be like. Best not to think about that during these circumstances.

From her office I heard things clatter, "Why do you humans love objects so much?" Dream questioned. Constantine looked up for a mere moment before continuing to search, "They do come in handy sometimes. You seem pretty attached to your sand and ring". Dreams facial expression grew offended, "They're not just an objects, they're a part of me". She turned "If that's true how did you manage to lose them?", "They were stolen by another magic user called Burgess" he explained.

She paused and stared at him with a surprised look. "Wait not Rodrick Burgess, the old demon king himself, eh?. Everyone used to say he was a fake. Said he had the devil locked up in his basement. How the fuck did you.." she froze, her eyes flickered to Dreams with realization. "Shit" she whispered, she walked closer as if to get a better look. "Wasn't the Devil he had locked up in his basement, was it?.", tears threatened to spill from his eyes.

Bad memories were flooding his mind I could tell, I grabbed his hand and kissed it. His heart instantly calmed as my magic touched it, "You feel calm and safe" I whispered in his ear. His breaths became normal and the bad memories melted away. "We're you down there?All this time?, Why didn't you wife help?", he turned his head to look at me. "She tried, but my realm needed a source of energy. She sacrificed herself for 600 years, she was just as trapped as I was", his voice was filled with guilt and remorse.
