Cassia and Thomas sat on the bed of his truck in silence for a moment. He was letting his words sink in. She looked at her frozen treat as it all came crashing down on her that she wasn't actually crazy, and that this whole thing was really happening to her. Someone believed her!

She looked at him. "Then what are you? No one saw you or heard you at the hospital other than me. No noticed you at my school as well. So, don't try and tell me you are human like me." She told him.

He sighed and looked at her a moment before looking away to think on how to answer that. "I'm what is called a hybrid. I have two different 'supernatural' parents." He told her. She took a bite of her ice cream as she waited for him to continue. 

"My mother is a witch, and my father is a shifter, a dragon shifter. It's how I can come into the human world." Thomas told her. "My mother can come into this world, so naturally I can as well. He cannot." He continued.

Cass shook her head "I can't wrap my head around this. Supernatural is a fake thing. Something people made up." She told him. That's what she was told growing up. He smiled softly. "It's a lot to take in, I'm sure. But it's true. We exist. Alot of us live here in your world. Mainly witches and gargoyles as you call wizards." He told her.

She looked at him. "I want to help you. I can train you to fight him. Train you to be stronger." He said looking her in the eyes. Dark brown meeting green.

"I may not make you able to kill him forever, but that can get him away from you for the rest of your life." He told her. "Can't he die?" She asked. He shrugged. "Many have tried, and just as many have failed." He told her. 

"Most kings aren't able to die. I don't really know why. But it's true." He explained with a shrug. "But I want to help you, Cassia. I want to help you free yourself from his sights. You don't deserve it. He's a monster so I can't just NOT help you." 

She could see how serious his words to her were. He really did want to help her. 

"Come on. Finish your ice cream so I can make sure you get home safely." He told her. She looked down at the ice cream. "I don't want to go back. It just means that I will be tempted to go to sleep again." She shook her head. She couldn't sleep any more. She didn't want to go back.

He reached over and placed a hand on her shoulder. Hoping to comfort her in some way. 

She looked at his handsome face but then looked away again. Unable to hold his gaze. 

"How are you going to help me if he goes into my dreams? You can't enter my dreams. Or can you?" She asked him. "I want to be able to help you fight him in your sleep. I will have to find a way to get in your dreams as well. I can put myself somewhat in your dreams, just not physically, it's why you were able to feel me holding your hand in the dream." He told her. 

She nodded and sighed.

After they got to her home, Thomas followed Cassia inside, and back up into her room. He assured her that her parents wouldn't know he was there. 

She looked at him when the door shut. "I want to try something. I want you to put this on." Thomas said holding a vile out to her. She gave him a look. He grinned. "It's nothing bad. It has iron in it. Fae can't stand the stuff. I want to see if it transfers into your dreams." He told her, as he put it into her hand.

"You want me to go back to sleep?" She asked worriedly.

"Again. I will be here to protect you. I will wake you up. Hopefully before you start screaming." He told her. "So, I need you to put that on, and change into your night clothes. I won't look." He went and sat on her bed and face the wall.

She sighed and grabbed her night clothes then went to the bathroom to change. She also put the cream on her pale skin. When she finished, she went over to the bed and sat down. "Ok..." She was a bit embarrassed as her night clothes weren't really cute. They were gym shorts and a big t-shirt.

He smiled at her and nodded. "Ok. Just remember. I will be here for you." Thomas promised as he got up. He grabbed her gaming chair, bringing it in close. He sat down and waited for her to get comfy and fall asleep.

She closed her eyes and felt him take her hand. Sleep quickly coming for her.

He was waiting.
