8 days later...

I was feeling better now, just tired. Everyone was buzzing around the house, getting things ready for güvenli hafta, which was tomorrow. I just sat on the couch feeling helpless. Allegra and Rachel came and talked to me a couple of times, which I appreciated. Lili came over to me after lunch and started chatting to me.

"So, how are you feeling?" She asked with a smile.

"Ok, just tired now." I answered, "Hey, do you know anything about hallucinations or symbols."

"No, sorry, but there is a dream dictionary hanging around here if you want it."

"Yeah, that would be good."

"Ok, I'll just get it." She got up and left the room. She quickly came back with a book in hand. She sat back down next to me and gave it to me.

"Here you go, I'll leave you to it." she walked off and I opened the book to the B section. I kept flicking through the pages and found what I was looking for.

Burning

To see something burning in your dream indicates that you are experiencing some intense emotions and/or passionate sexual feelings. There is some situation or issue that you can no longer avoid and ignore. Alternatively, it may suggest that you need to take time off for yourself and relax. Perhaps you are you feeling "burned out" or "burned up".

To dream that you or someone is being burned alive suggests that you are being consumed by your own...

It continued on but I wasn't interested, I'd read enough. I put the book down and pondered. Intense emotions? Maybe it means that I just needed a break from this situation... I was burning up last week, literally, if that counts. I was day dreaming now. Oscar came over to me and shoved the thermometer into my mouth, not even saying anything. It beeped and he read it.

"Yep, your pretty much fine now. Do you feel good"

"Yeah, just a bit tired."

"That's good. We've got a meeting later today in the dining room, if you're up to it. We're going to discuss our strategy for güvenli hafta, and where we're going to go."

"Sounds good." There was a silence, which I quickly broke. "Why does he even do this? Is there an actual reason? Or is he just being a dick?"

"A bit of both. From what I know, he does it for power. The more minds he controls, the more information he has, the more power he has. He isn't the only one that does this you know. There are many of his kind. They're called iblis. They are awful creatures that can control anyone, or anything. They can't be stopped, apart from their weak point. Everything's got a weak point, right? There's is themselves. They have venom that can kill themselves if they are injected with it. However, they will only die by their own poison and not someone else's."

"Weird..." I said wondering about what I was just told. He could be stopped. He had to be stopped.
