Damn. Hasn't this happened before. I, passed out, now I'm lying in bed while plenty of people stood around waiting for me to come to.
Shayla's pov~
But I just couldn't bring myself to do it. So I'll just lie here until I figure out how to get away from these people.
Then I felt a hand grasp mine in a all too familiar natural way. It was nice, it was of someone I've known before, it made me never want to let go but part of me had to. I didn't know what was going on but I know something was being kept from me. And from the moment I saw that black mass in the store's restroom. I had some kind of inkling that something definitely was wrong with that situation. And of course during the same time I thought I'd saw something or someone. I tried to put it down on me being stressed of daily life.
Which my life wasn't all that bad. I guess if you count verbal abuse in. But this, this had me scared to learn more of what was going on.
" Don't know why she's faking it. She has to know the truth anyhow, " I heard the guy named Tae hyun say.
" Shut up ! Can't you be considered for once in your damn life ! She seems to just had a fright. Leave her be. If you weren't my brother I'd cut you down like I do to the nightmare seeds, " the girl called Hana exclaimed then I heard movement.
" Ow ! And if you weren't my sister, " he said annoyed.
At this point, I couldn't hold back my laughter. I don't know why I was doing so. If I lost my mind or was I trying to make light of the situation.
I was laughing so hard the room grew quiet. And how I could tell is because I heard my laughing echo at one point. So I slowly dialed it down, felt super embarrassed as I opened my eyes....
Four pair of eyes were staring at me in shock and pity. I sunk back in bed, pulled the covers over my head. Until heard someone walk closer to my bed side. And with that deep, almost melodious voice that I heard in my nightly dreams which seemed like it's been forever but it could have been just yesterday.
" It's okay. It's all fine. I know this must be a lot for you to take in. But I promise I'll protect you, " he said assuring me as he slowly pulled the covers down, off me. And I saw his face, I couldn't believe that what I was seeing was real.
Or maybe I'm still asleep, think I'm up. But then he brung his hand to my face, caressed it gently. And I couldn't help but to lean in to it. It felt so warm so safe. Like I could trust him but what about everyone else.

Jisoo pov~
I wasn't expecting this type of reaction. But I see I'd have to work for her trust. Because as of how she still had quite an Incredulous look as I pulled the sheet from her face. I would rather see her beautiful smile but being this close to her kind of felt unreal.
So when I began caressing her face. It took all what was in me to stop myself from leaning over, kissing her. Because I couldn't stop myself from looking at her plump ever so soft lips. And I couldn't believe my thoughts were going where they were going. Even in an room full of people. Then I look back to them.
My family, friends and comrades then they instantly got the message, they left the room. And Shayla looked on with a frightened look on her face. And it kind of upset me that she would think I could or would ever hurt her.
" It's alright Shayla. I just wanted to speak to you alone. If that's okay ? "
And she shook her head " Yes "
............................
After trying to convince her about some of the things that's going on, the things that went on between us too. I asked the kid called Jordan to bring us some tea. Maybe it'll calm her nerves so she wouldn't be so nervous around me.
........................
" So what you're telling me is that actually you were in my dreams because you wanted to see me ? And we met years ago ?
" Yes and Yes, " I answered truthfully.
" And that you are from an race of warrior protectors called The Nightmare Collectors ? " she confirmed again still probably trying to wrap her mind around what I told her.
" Yes Shayla. "
" Well if you're in the real world now, I can see you that must mean something seriously dangerous is going on then ? " she asked running her chin.
" Most definitely, the fate of my world, your world will effected by what course of action our foe decides to take. But we'll be here to stop that from happening. "
" When you mean we ? As in The Collectors ? " she questioned.
" The Nightmare Collectors, The Day Dream Setters and selected humans with powers, " I explained to her.
" Who are the Day Dream Setters ? What powers do humans have ? "
" We are The Day Dream Setters, " as Kiet, Jordan and even Master Tang, a few others came into the room.
Wow it's been a long ass time for this one. And Shayla is finally seeing everything for what it is. Well sorta.
Who's excited for Jisoo real world debut of sorts.
