Lighting up the Shadowed Dreams

He closed his eyes, he felt the Shadow stir just a bit but then relax. Things had happened, things neither of them expected. The Shadow had agreed to sleep, or at least try to, with the help of friend. Tiny Hacker, who would be the key to it all.

So as James' mind faded into a dream, or rather a nightmare, the Shadow sat waiting, doing his best to stay calm. Waiting for Tiny to appear, to help him join James in the world of dreams and nightmares.

Tiny flopped down on James's bed, spread across his legs like a dog. It looked like he was asleep. Maybe his friend was too? It was hard to tell. The pull to fall asleep here, to dive into the boy's subconscious and root around until all the fears were gone, was stronger than the pull to any other room. James was exhausted, but he wasn't what Tiny cared about. She could honestly care less about the human host. The 'parasite', that was what Tiny wanted to help.

Tiny yawned, then snuggled in to burrow deep, into the nightmare james was seeing. Indigo-hued feathers ruffled, and her crow's beak squawked to announce her arrival. The nightmares paused, any monsters or demons turning to look at this tiny little crow, challenging the fears. She was tiny. Weak. Nothing was impressed. The Nightmare resumed.

The Shadow was on the edge of the nightmare, this was how it always was, he could always peak in, but never join. Always to scared to try, and in truth he didn't know how to.

James was in the center of the nightmare, the eye of the storm, the awful images of his past flashed around him. So many awful things. It was so hard, people looked at him and often forget, that he was just a kid, maybe not small, but he struggled with life, struggled to understand it.

Then the storm seemed to pause, and they heard it, a sqawk, as if an alien bird had invaded the nightmare. They both reached for the sound, and Shadow fell in. Plummeting into the torrent of emotions, James a could feel his emotions and vice versa. They were both lost, but as their emotions came together, so did their strengths, their hopes and they were surprisingly similar.

Tiny launched from her perch, the little feathered bird flapping its fragile wings straight through towards James. It didn't matter what got in the way, be it person or building or anything in between or completely different. The little bird flew un-phased by the nightmares, talons scratching at James' scalp to get his attention.

Tiny flew circles around the human, the nightmares all hesitating to touch him or act upon her presence. They didn't understand. They didn't know what this bird was, challenging them for possession of the boy's subconscious. She squawked agian, the sound vibrating against the inside of James' skull. The shadow was here. It was time to leave.

Tiny dipped down to brush a wingtip along the top of James' head and flew through a wall, returning to wait for James. This was the way. He had to follow her.
