Werewolf In Smallville

27: weird as hell nightmares with dad

Eli hale, I looked around, seeing trees around me. I shook my head as I pushed myself up, feeling the grass in-between my hands. "another dream" I mumbled, one I'm fully aware of, thanks to Nat's scent under my nose. It's very helpful, reminding me I'm asleep. "Dad?" I asked, I slowly walked around, taking in my surroundings, beacon hills woods, the nemeton close by. "Dad?" I repeated, Oh I wonder if Dad will be Dad! Since we've been sharing dreams, then maybe he'll be here! "Dad!" I yelled Happliy, or maybe the shared dreams are over... oh well. I shrugged, I have the real thing, I've had the real thing this whole time, I didn't even realise. "Dododo" I mumbled, I'm bored. I walked around. Wow my dreams are a lot more boring without Dad and a psychopath. I looked around, and Saw smoke. "Huh?" I mumbled, I walked towards it. Why's there smoke?

Oh. A house was on fire. Wh... why am I dreaming this? I was hearing faint noises, like I normally do before the words click in. "No, no, no, no, no!" I heard, I walk-ran over to the no-ing. It was a teenager, staring at the buring home. "No!" He yelled, I looked at him, his feet were stuck in the ground. "Hay, you okay?" I asked, I walked over to him. He looked terrified. "E- Eli? Eli run!" He yelled, -how does he know my name? He pushed me to the ground, holding my arms. "You need to run!" He yelled, I could hear the crackling of the fire, and the screams of people in the home. "I can't lose you to Eli, you need to go- run!" He yelled, he shoved me away. "No you-" I started, I need to get him out of here. "Wolf pup please listen to me!" He yelled, wolf pup? My eyes went wide. "Dad?" I asked, he nodded. This is him when he's a teenager. The house... it's the hale house. This isn't a dream, it's a nightmare, Just not for me. "Dad! Dad you have to wake up, this is a dream" I yelled, I grabbed his shoulders. He shook his head. "No- no it's not" he disagreed, he can't wake up. Can he? "Dad-" I said, he doesn't have something reminding him this is a dream. "I did this!" He yelled, he was pointing at the burning house. "This is my fault! They're dying because of me!" He yelled, I looked down and Saw a gasoline bucket, except on it, it had 'KATE' scrolled on it. Wow. "If I just didn't date her" he Whispered, he fell to his knees. "If I just.." he mumbled, he wrapped his arms around himself. "dad" I said softly, I went on my knees and hugged him "it wasn't your fault" I said, he shock his head. "Yes it was" he disagreed, I thought he wasn't in this head space anymore. "No, it wasn't Dad-" I said, he shook his head and shoved me away. I fell a little far. "Yes it was! Now get away from me before I hurt you anymore than I have!" He yelled, he hasn't hurt me at all. "Dad.." I whispered, I walked towards him, he tried to pull himself away, but he couldn't. "Dad, you haven't" I said, I pulled him into my arms despite his struggling. "Yes I have, when you were a kid-" he started, is he talking about when I found out he was a werewolf? "You mean when you shifted infront of me?" I asked, he nodded. he counts that as hurting me? "Dad you didn't hurt me, I would of been hurt if you didn't" I said, I knew he hated he did that, but counting it as hurting me? "But you were terrified of me!" He yelled, I shook my head and wiped his tears away. "No, no I wasn't, don't you remember we talked about this in a dream?" I asked, that is a weird sentence. He shook his head. "No, what are you talking about?" He asked, damn it he doesn't remember the dream. "It doesn't matter, what I'm saying is I've never been scared of you" I said, he put it a lot better. "You are my dad, and I'm not leaving you here" I said, he tried to push me away before slumping down. "Please" he sobbed, I tightened my arms around him. "I'm not leaving you" I whispered, his arms slowly went around me "Eli" he sobbed, I lightly shushed him as I rubbed his bad and hair. It works for me. "Shh~ it's okay, you're okay, I'm okay" I reminded, if this really is him then it means we still have access into each others dreams. "I- I shouldn't be okay" he said, I sighed. I really thought he didn't feel like this anymore. "Yes you should, you're Derek hale, you sacrificed yourself for everyone you care about" I reminded, he shook his head against my shoulder. "And you're Clark kent" I asked, he stopped shaking his head and made a few noises. "W..who?" He asked, he doesn't remember who he is? I pulled his head off my shoulder. "You're the hero of this world, superman, you've saved hundreds of thousands of lives" I told, he looked confused, he shook his head slightly. "What are you talking about?" He asked, I won't be able to get him to remember. I ran my hand down his hair. "Nothing, but you're not at fault for anything you think you are" I said, he shook his head, I held his head softly. "You trust me Dad?" I asked, he nodded his head. "Ya" he said, I smiled slightly. "then believe me when I say you're not at fault" I said, I thought he didn't feel liks this anymore. "I- I'm not at fault?" He asked, I smiled. "No, no you're not" I said, he let out a shaky breath, and laid on me, head on my shoulder. "I'm not at fault" he said, I sat myself against a tree, Dad still in my arms. "You're not at fault" I repeated, how do I get us out of this dream?
