Dream/Life

Rheya herself had personal issues with fire, and honesty the fireball incident still gave her some unfun nightmares, and the other girl she sometimes saw in her dreams seemed to be affected too...
In fact, Rheya was currently exhausted, and for some reason felt so comfortable... It was simply inevitable that she dozed off...

"I'll see you again soon, visit any time Lycan".
She flashed a real smile for a moment before returning to formality.
She would not return that day, her mother fussed about and dinner took till quite late, she fell into bed before the flustered maids could even get her clothes off.



The next day Emma got up rather early, and after getting ready all by herself (she was completely able to normally but her father usually insisted on helping) she managed to make a respectable enough breakfast on the electric stove and made sure her father ate before driving her to school.

Things were less happy for the others as Ash went away I'm the closet and Mike came back, after a pair of shorts and a shirt with cat face on it was vetoed, they instead donned a pair of stretchy fake denim pants, a black shirt with a purple heart and the usual assortment of hair clips.
 
Mason was growing more accustom to living in a house, even though he still insisted on the couch as a bed, and still adored his most comfortable attire of all black. Black jeans, a white t-shirt with his black hoodies and his sneakers. Though now Masons' hair was getting much longer now and he actually could pull it back into a small ponytail now. His brother, Oliver, was thoroughly enjoying living in the house and wore normal clothes of bright purple and basketball shorts; happily humming to himself as he made breakfast of toast.

Connie was dreading going to school, and Red sensed her sadness as she dressed herself and made her way to school. Her parents where gone already by the time she was up, and it was just a quiet walk to school with Red pulling her along. Despite knowing how to get to school already.

Mike greeted Mason in the morning, though was clearly subdued, Ash was a happy, affectionate girl while Mike was quiet, withdrawn and seemed to fear physical affection in case it caused a slip up.
After a filling breakfast that Mike ignored they were actually dropped off, no arguments, and Mike's mom went to discuss the new arrangement with the principal.

Emma was waiting for Connie to arrive, only small bags under her eyes from too little sleep, sure she woke up before dawn, but gaming instead of going back to sleep didn't help.
"Hey Connie! Mor...".
She didn't even make it through her greeting before a bully shoved her over, not even stopping to taunt her.
 
The young man looked down at Mike and went 5o hold his hand silently. Interlocking their fingers in the house and the ride to school, idly tracing Mikes hand as he had soft skin. Mason stared out the window and seemed to be thinking about a multitude of things; yet stayed quiet as always.

The red head hadn't even stepped onto school grounds when the clattering of a wheelchair sounded. Connie gave an annoyed growl and went to help Emma up, having to pull the chair up before her so she could get in safely, "Its too early for this bullshit," she muttered, "You okay Em?" Those cloudy brown eyes seemed concerned.

Masons attentions seemed to relax Mike, and he was soon mostly back to his usual self, well as close as he could be in Mike mode anyway.
Once at school he looked to Mason for direction, they hadn't been noticed by any bullies yet, and he would really rather not deal with them that morning.

Well, that was one way to start the day... It was rare for a male bully to do that so she assumed it was someone she had pissed off somehow.
"Yeah... Way better now that you're here".
Emma was glad that Connie couldn't see her blush then, what the hell was that?
 
The taller male seemed to disband his more hide away and stay silent; his posture was more protective and domineering. Holding Mikes hand tightly and glanced around the schools lot in preparation for whatever asshat stepped out of line. Mason never fought or anything to a bully; but this time it was going to be different. He wasnt afraid of them and their weak attempts at making themselves feel better was enough. It was honestly enough of this bullshit and Mason doubted he would graduate in the year anyway. Then he looked down at Mike and placed a soft kiss to his temple before spotting the two red heads; Connie and Emma, "Lets go see those two," He suggested as they where friends right? At least semi so.

"Always going to be the hero," Connie mused and struck a playful pose before laughing. Red wagged his happily at seeing Emma and licked her hand softly, "But you are okay right? Dont need a bandaid or anything?"

Mason's actions very clearly helped Mike cheer up and calm down, though the kiss turned him into a sputtering, blushing mess, as well as drawing a lot of attention from other students... No one did anything right away but that would certainly change when the bullies all arrived and heard about it.
"Okay... Friends are good".
Mike would have been fine hiding all day with Mason but understood that was probably impractical.

"Hmm... Luckily I'm not bleeding... Probably, it's not like I can tell easily".
She replied before seeing the others approaching them.
"Well those two seen to be doing better".
 
"Well its not like I can help much either in seeing the wound," Was Connies' response with an eyeroll. Disabilities where so fucking fun sometimes. Though upon hearing footsteps coming, Connie got a bit defensive until Emma said that they seemed better. Must be Mason and Mike joining them again. Seems their little group was now more so friends than anything else? She wasn't entirely sure, but it seemed to be an unspoken of status.

There was probably no reason to go over to the two red-heads, but Mason had no idea what else to do? Hiding away would be fine as well, but nwo he sorta had friends? Or people of similar interest and caliber? The black haired male gave a small inner shake of his head, "Mornin', everything alright?" Emma seemed to have gravel dust on her clothes now.

Mike was pretty amazed himself at having friends... Not to mention a boyfriend! Sure Ashley still has to hide away, but that wouldn't be forever.

"Morning, glad to see you two are doing better... Couples quarrel dealt with then?"
She asked, at this point she was assuming they were a longtime couple or something that had just been on the down low.
Of course she still had the whole Mike is Iliya thing on her mind... But decided asking right then wasn't smart.
 
"Yeah, yeah, it has been dealt with and smoothed," Was Masons' response to Emma and stuck his tongue out at her, "Now its just a matter of dealing with school for a few more months," With being in a better home, he was looking forward to graduation from school and getting to college. He wanted to be a therapist for children like himself and Oliver, whose parents have given up on them.

Connie gave an amused chuckle, "Well that is good at least," she mused and went ahead to stroke Reds' head for a moment.

"Yeah... I can't wait till I'm done with school... No idea what exactly I'll do afterwards but anything's gotta be better than this place... Of course, school isn't all we gotta deal with..."
Emma was of course talking about the strange melding of dream and reality that was affecting them.

Mike didn't say it but he also couldn't wait to get out of that school, his parents had wanted to switch him to somewhere else but the superintendent had gotten uppity, apparently he didn't like people leaving schools due to 'bullying' which he claimed didn't exist.
 
Mason was glad that they all agreed that things would be better after this brick hell. Though briefly wondered if they will all still continue to speak and be friends beyond the school and dream world. Giving a small nod in agreement, "Emma is right, the progression of the kingdom entering real is alarming. I wouldnt be surprised to see the king or the castle at this point," If monsters could come through, then what would stop an entire kingdom?

For Connie, life after school wasnt exciting. Her parents wanted to send her to college for something in the arts. They where determined to have a normal life for her, but it will be hard because she was blind. Though she was optimistic at least.

Mike was sure that he'd try and stick with Mason after school... He certainly didn't want to lose his first boyfriend anytime soon! And even if they did break up... Mason was his friend!
"Umm... Iliya is looking into why it's happening... If that helps... It's probably something on that side..."
Mike managed to squeak out.

Meanwhile a group of kids were gathering near the noticeboard, covering all the other notices were several pictures starring Mason and Ashley at the mall.
 
"Well thats good at least, id rather not fight another beast in this world," Mason responded with a small shake of his head, and put his arm around Micheal. Though was unaware of the kids gathered and was more interested in his friends than anything else. But as always the world never let it be a good day.

No one bothered them at first... But soon a thuggish looking kid decided to try his luck, he had been on suspension for the last week and hadn't heard about the recent fights.
"Hey fag boy! You like dressing your boyfriend up in skirts?"
He asked, the grin on his face suggesting that he thought he had just made an ingenious joke.
 
Ah of course, the peace was never to last. Could never just be human. Mason seemed to visibly tense his arm that was around Mikes' shoulders, and he didn't acknowledge the lowlife at first but then gave a glance at him. Giving him an up and down judgement look, before snorting in vast amusement, "I mean, better than you in one. Be like dressing up a bear with no ass," Was his retort. The taller man always let the jabs and what not slide, give some back on their intelligence, but Mike...was a different story. All three of them where. Mason would happily throw him through a god damn glass window if the rocks for brains even moved to threaten.

Mike was terrified now, he hadn't missed that comment... Then again it could just be a general comment, the whole school pretty much saw them as a gay couple so slurs were normal.
The boy was actually as stupid as he looked, and tensed up to deal with his problems the only way he knew how, by punching it.
However before he could do more than tense up, Emma ran into him from behind, the weight of her chair knocking him off balance and setting him up for any retaliation by Mason.
 
Mason knew some sort of violence was going to be the answer, cause normal male teenagers, and had already moved his arm from Mike. Putting the other more towards Connie and Red, and well this smirk crossed his face. Even in this world Emma was very handy to have around. Though what was suppose to be a normal kick to the stomach as the guy tettered soon flashed. The unknown burst of strength had Mason stepping forward, instead of kicking, grabbing the guy by the arm and throwing him over Masons' shoulder. The unfortunate part was there was cement they stood on, and small cracks form upon impact.
As of late, Mason was the only one of the four to control their dream powers and show them at will. This burst of wolf strength and speed was not normal in the slightest, and was evident by the look of fear in Masons' face at his action. He didn't wanna break bones, but he feared more than that has occurred. Those cerulean hues looked to Emma then to Mike in utter confusion, but for a brief moment brilliant swirls of crimson circled that blue. Then was gone in the second Mason took to blink and back away from the bully.
 
The whole crowd of students that had gathered around like circling vultures went silent at the terrifyingly display of strength and what they assumed to be fighting ability that Mason had just given them, the boy now laying on the floor was conscious, blinking as it became obvious he had pissed himself, crotch going dark.

Before anyone could speak they were interrupted.
"Mr Romero! Mr Lewis! Come to my office Now".
The voice of the guidance counselor rang out from behind them.
 
So the idea of just bolting for it into the woods was completely squashed. Mason was startled at the guidance counselor, an abnormal reaction to someone to vigilant even in sleep. He looked at Mike and was so unsure of what to do. Everything was falling quiet fast and he could not keep up with it. The counselor actually noticed? Said something? The black haired teen looked at his hands for a moment in seemingly fear, but then the cool composure forced its resurface. Then the slow follow after the counselor; as expulsion was not the worst of endings.
