Golden Girl
“The warmth of sleep cradled me close. One thought, then another, rolled under its dark quilt, but they didn’t mean anything. An image drifted past in lazy, tumbleweed fashion. I didn’t need to worry about that either.
Little niece. Little niece.
Who was calling me? I tried burrowing deeper under my covers, but it was no good. Something crawled right into the place where I was dreaming. Eyes opened underneath sleep’s darkness, shining up at me: one amber and starlight, one milk white.
I knew you...’d be back, said Lorcan.
I opened my mouth to scream, but no sound came out. I struggled, but I had no sense of direction that would allow me to flee. The only things in existence were my uncle and me.
What are you doing here? I forced the words out of my confusion and anger.
I’m your prisoner, niece, Lorcan reminded me in a tone that was grim and gleeful at the same time. You put your sleep onto me, and then you came into sleep yourself. Did you think you wouldn’t find me here?
No, I hadn’t thought it.MoreLess
