"However best you can sleep." She'd offer herself to help with that, but since meeting Dream Reaper she'd been more conciouscious about that. She was definitely sure that Dream Reaper was the one for this life. Ponies could be frail, and die before their time. but She wasn't afraid to stake loyalty towards one in particular. She'd have to see what Dream Reaper thought about Mistresses. nonetheless, they could be friends, which was fine with Lovecraft now that Dream Reaper was here in her life. Shush! She didn't care if that was cheesy.

Nocturne

Nocturne thought about it for a moment.

He could take the couch, and stay completely still as he slept.

He could go to the treatment room... But he had trouble sleeping in a bed alone, now.

He could also take the regular bed... But, same problem. Nocturne sheepishly rubbed his head.

"Erm... I... I guess I could take one of the beds... Whichever's easier for you; you look like you need some sleep too... Um... I..." Nocturne stopped, shaking his head with an embarrassed and ashamed expression.

"Nevermind..."

"Hm, I guess we all could squeeze in my bed. Lovecraft's presence makes me feel better, but the migraines remain. So, I'll do like this: Once you fall asleep, I'll get into your dream, inducing myself into sleep." Dream Reaper explains to Nocturne. She did really have to mention the thing about her migraines again? For the sake of post length? Sure, why not?

"What?" Lovecraft asked, not having got it like Dream Reaper had about him having trouble in sleeping alone. "Oh Dream Reaper! I also have this mix of herbs that may help out with your migraine." She opened a pocket and offered Dream Reaper a pinch of the herbs. It was a decent sized dose for the mare. Definitely not the dose Lovecraft took. She'd gotten tolerant to this powerful stuff, so she had to take doses that would kill the typical pony.

Nocturne

.................Wow. It looked like she'd caught on.

Nocturne nodded as he gestured to Dream Reaper in the 'After you' gestureand settled in to wait for her to show him the way.

Soon after eating the herbs, Dream Reaper led them to her room. The bed wasn't very big, but, hey, when she cuddled with Lovecraft before they had fit and left some space for somepony to join. So, still, she laid first with Lovecraft, and patted the free space, saying "We'll be squeezing ourselves in, but it will be fine, right?"

Lovecraft still didn't get why Nocrurne had said nevermind, but supposed it didn't overly matter. She was really going to have to remember to buy a new mattress for Dream Reaper. No one under her metaphorical and totally nonexistent wing, had to sleep on such a bed when they could have a more comfortable one easy. She took off her saddle bags from her back and put them on the bed, then coiling protectively around them. It was a position that was tried and true, she knew the eggs would be safe in the night.

Nocturne

Nocturne nodded, getting into the bed and getting comfortable.

He was a little uncomfortable with sleeping with a mare who wasn't his fiancees... But he needed to sleep. He had to get to sleep so he could lose this nightmare...

Dream Reaper could only await until he was fast asleep, which would be also when she would try her spell to get into his dreams and purge the Nightmare in there, the place where laws of physics doesn't exist, where anyone can be God: The dreamscape. So, it was only needed he'd fall asleep.

Nocturne

Nocturne breathed regularly, his eyes closed as he shifted slightly every so often. He eventually fell asleep, his forelegs instinctively moving to wrap around Dream Reaper.

"Snowy... Lega..." he murmured.

There.

He had to get there.

Home.

He had gone off, to help the Princesses defeat Morpho.

He had trusted that Snowbird and Legacy would be safe in Canterlot, with his father and his traps. His little brother and his mother were with him, safe and sound behind his father's array of traps...

Nocturne heard a scream.

He ran even faster, his breath tearing at his burning lungs, his legs and wings screaming for relief.

Icefox... He'd been unable to save his friend from being crushed under the rockslide. Icefox had asked him one thing with his last breath: To take care of Snowbird and Skye.

Nocturne ran, pushing his body to keep running as he flew into his parents' house...


The door.

The door was broken down.

Nocturne's eyes widened in fear, as he ran through and into the house. It looked like a tornado had come through. Things overturned, broken...

He had to find them.

Nocturne hurried through the house, praying, praying with all his might-

"So, you're home..."

Nocturne whipped around to see his father, lying on the ground and surrounded by his own blood.

"D-Dad!!!" Nocturne hurried over, only for his father to wave him off.

"Go! Your mother and your mares need help! GO!"

Nocturne hesitated for a moment, but took off, casting a concerned glance at his father, who gave a last sigh before his eyes closed forever.

He ran through the house(When had it gotten this BIG?!) and took the twists and turns, eventually finding a room where he heard grunts and sobs from behind the door.

Nocturne kicked the door open, just in time to see the stallions finishing up with Legacy... and then putting a knife through the back of her neck. Looking around the room, his eyes burned and blurred with tears.

There... There was his mother, glassy-eyed and not breathing, a bit of some white gunk leaking from her mouth...

And Snowy... Snowbird...

SHE MOVED!

Nocturne flew at the stallions and drove them off, before turning to Snowbird...

She was gone.

Everyone...

They were all gone...

Nocturne fell back against the wall, slowly sliding down until he hit the floor, his tears flowing freely.

Everyone...

He'd failed them all...

Everyone he loved...

Was gone.

"This is all a fake. All that is seen here... Is a product of your subconscious or induced by something else. Fears, doubts, somepony's words." Dream Reaper was in front of him in the dream. However, there she looked different: a cape and her scythe in mouth. One would compare her to the Grim Reaper incarnate. She turned around and said "That which haunts this pony's slumber, rear your ugly head to me.". In a single swipe of the scythe, she began to consume the nightmare itself, hoping this would bring out the actual cause somehow.

Nocturne

Nocturne couldn't hear her.

"Stop it... I don't want to see this anymore... Stop it..." Nocturne whimpered.

"STOP IIIIIT!!!!!" he wailed, his eyes wide with terror and despair.

Nocturne screamed and sobbed; he cried out in anguish and fear. He scrabbled at his eyes, trying to tear them out and stop the sights of his family, raped and dead.

"MAKE IT STOP!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!!"

Soon Dream Reaper pulled at an invisible string with her scythe, causing the nightmare to start flickering off into more pleasant sights for Nocturne. "So, you don't want to show yourself? Fine, I'll tear you out!" and so she pulled with full force. Whether the nightmare source would reveal itself for her or not, she tore this nightmare off him, its energy being absorbed into her scythe.

Nocturne

Nocturne found himself wrapped in a warm embrace, and when he hesitantly looked up, he saw Snowbird and Legacy, on either side of him looking at him with concerned gazes. He looked slightly confused, but held them close, his tears starting to dry.

"I'm sorry... It... It was the dream again..." the two mares simply gave him affectionate smiles, warming his heart as he felt the sick sensation of fear leaving him, coalescing into a black, shadowy version of himself. It screeched as it left him, growling at Dream Reaper.

"Who the hay are you and WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

"I am the one who harvests nightmares and troublesome objects from others' dreams..." Dream Reaper aimmed her scythe at this shadow "And I give you an ultimatum: Cease to exist and leave him in peace, or else I shall harvest you from his dreams. And it won't be good for you.". The unicorn was up to no joke.
