Raven wasn't exactly sure what she dreamed, but she was pretty sure it was like one of those dreams people were supposed to have when they went to school and stood in front of their classmates naked. Only, she had a problem. She was in front of her classmates not only naked, but blue. Everyone could see. Everyone could see her for what she truly was and they weren't laughing at her, they were screaming. They were running in fear and calling the police and she was just terrified because they were going to come for her just like those news reels she'd always seen before the movies. She was different and they were going to come for her.

She didn't really remember the details, though, she only remembered the sense of being hunted and the feel of a tight hand gripping her wrist when she woke. She thought about staying in bed, but the fear wasn't going away. The slightest creak of the house and she was jumping, heart racing, sure that there was someone walking down the hall.

It didn't take her long before she was running down the hall, into Charles' room. For as fast as she was moving, she shut the door very quietly for fear that Charles would wake up. She just wanted to slip into his bed for a little while and calm down and then she would go back to bed. Carefully, she moved the sheet and blanket away from the side he wasn't on and started to crawl in next to him, hoping he wouldn't wake. She really didn't want to bother him.
