|Chapter 22| Two Drops of Blood

Comet

"Sh... sh... its okay Genesis, I'm here," I opened my eyes hearing Dream's quiet voice echo through the home. My door was left slightly open, leaving it as the only way I could hear his voice. Exhaustion tried to pull me back asleep.

"I... it's just a nightmare..." Those words alone pushed me out of bed. The blankets dragged behind me as the cold of the night nipped my skin. I carefully walk up the stairs, looking into the room Genesis was in. The door was open, inside I could see Dream standing next to Genesis who was fast asleep in bed.

"Dream? Is everything okay?" I watch him turn to me. His eye glowing softly in the darkness of Genesis' room.

"No, I think.... Genesis is having a nightmare..." He didn't step away as he kept his fingers locked together with Genesis as a quiet comfort.

"I see... why not wake him up?" I walked by his side looking at Genesis who had his eyebrow furrowed down, and panic over his face. It looks like a bad one...

"I tried..." His voice quivers as he looked teary eyed. I rested my hand on his shoulder.

"That's okay, you are doing a lot for him already." I squeezed his arm, but his worried didn't disappear.

"Not really... I can see what's happening and I can't get him out..." I paused at his words, looking at him once more. He seemed serious as his gaze focused on Genesis.

"You can see what's happening? In his dream?" I looked between the two of them, feeling this vague connection between the two. He nods and closes his eye. I could feel that connection grow.

"He's surrounded by fire... and he's running. Running through a forest. Calling out to all of us. I... I have to- He's-" He stammers, and I stepped back sharply as his energy spiked. His single eye glowed in a golden light, so brightly I covered my eyes with my arm. The energy disappeared all at once.

"Dream?" I pulled my arm away from my face, looking around the room... only to find a fading golden light left... with Genesis still deep in sleep. Oh no.

"Dream?!" I looked around the room, his golden light now gone. I found myself looking in the closet, under he desk and bed for him, but nothing. Panicked settled underneath my skins, before I rushed over and went to get Origin. I rushed down the stairs my feet echoing against the walls as I went to his room. I opened the door and went to the bed where he was fast asleep.

"Origin! We have a problem!" My voice trembles as I watch him quickly get out of bed, his blue glowing eyes filled the darkness in the room.

"Comet what's going on? Who's hurt?!" He was already out the door and rushing up the stairs, I followed close behind.

"Dream just disappeared into thin air! He said something about seeing Genesis's nightmare. I think he just used his powers for the first time." When we both got into the room, Genesis was still asleep in bed, but his face now remained calm. The fear taken away into the ripples of the covers.

"I can still sense Dream here in the room." He walks up to Genesis' side, letting his hand float over his face. His eyes glow brighter for a moment before stepping away from him.

"Maybe that's why I was called to his name...." He lingers on his words before looking at me. "I think he will be back soon. We just have to wait Comet." He sits down at the edge of the bed, his head slightly faced towards Genesis. I sat down next to him, crossing my legs to the side and straightening out my nightgown.

"Do you know why you name them the way you do?" I rested my hand over his, before he gently shakes his head.

"It's as if the words come out of me before I know I'm saying them. I wonder if The Everything has something to do with it." The name of them flashed their towering imagine in my mind.
