I dream of her again this night.

The dream starts are usual, she holds my hand, running through the crowd. The sudden darkness, the lights, and finally, Morrigan.

She lays as she always does in her misery and fear and sticky scarlet. I feel my own terror rising, but this time, right before i run, i hear an echo of my own voice, im suddenly hit with the memory from today's meeting with her,

"Are you.... Doing alright?" My voice echos nervously in my head.

"I'm fine" But this time, the words dribble from dream-Morrigan's mouth, her lips twitching around the syllables.

I knit my eyebrows and the fear in my chest evaporates for a moment, long enough for me to kneel down by her side and reach out my hand. I wipe a smear of blood mixed with tears off her cheek, and she leans into my touch, closing the eye she still has.

"No, you're not" I whisper. 

Not long after the words leave my lips, the terror takes hold again in my chest and a thousand screaming voices fill my head with their obnoxious cacophony.

I hold my head in my hands and run away, the dream continuing and ending as per usual, except this time, i wake up with the image of Morrigan leaning into my touch for comfort, and i find myself pondering this more than the pain of the dream itself.
