Something tells me, it's only going to get worse. "It does." Stephan says with a menacing gleam in his eyes. "It does." It shouldn't be as cold as it is. Or is it hot? The dreams he dreams are of a stranger in black coming to meet him in the dark, it is raining but Only - dreaming - doesn't care. The stranger begins to move toward him and he does not panic, he just waits. The world bends in pitches, colors, and temperatures - it is as if the dream breathes the way Only breathes. Why would it do that? And why does the grass feel like velvet? Why is his head moist? Wake up. Something inside of him stirs. The body in the trunk is not dead but it is alive, very very alive. He drops his shovel as the stranger comes closer - closer... 'Emrys?' Only feels his dream pull away from him at the sound of the stranger's name, a mutual energy exchange is all it takes for him to wake up from a dream that is not his but Stephan's. 'N-' No! He wants to shout in disbelief but sees 'Emrys' beside him. Only's eyes widen in shock as they take in the deep black of the stallion's face curled in, the runes are his only clue to know that he himself must have never left the creek to go back home last night. Did I check the Rapax? Did I make it? He doubts it. The dream burns off like late morning smog leaving Only with the short pieces he knows but he is sure he knows enough by the way his body aches all over. The taste of blood is sweet on his tongue, still fresh and he realizes it comes from a split lip. A fight? Perhaps. He goes to pull up as quietly as he can but meets resistance. Grudgingly, Only feels his ears curl inward as he noses into the runes on Emrys's neck, he does not understand why he inhales the wild fire smell on the man with such reverie. Its when his own skin crawls remembering pleasure that Only's stomach lurches with the anxiety. He has to be free, he has to find the Rapax! "Emrys - Emrys, get up. You are on my tail."
