Red Devil (Dangerous Spirits)
“Warm arms around him, a voice in his ear that is not a hundred years old, warm breath, warm blankets. He shudders, the ice around his heart slow to melt, and clutches at the arms, presses his head to the chest. Still he feels the decrepit landscape around him.
It is Sol’s voice that reaches him. “Hey, you were having a nightmare.”
He lifts his muzzle from the black-furred chest into the gleam of green eyes in a dark room. “Yes,” he says. Automatically, he adds, “I am sorry I woke you,” even as ...his mind races with the terror of the dream. He sees Konstantin behind Sol, for a moment as clearly as if a lightning flash had illuminated him.
“Ahh!”
He yelled and scrambled to the nightstand, grabbing for the light. The lamp toppled over and fell with a crash, and Alexei came completely out of the dream. In the darkness, he could see very little in the room. Even Sol’s green eyes had disappeared. The wolf was still grabbing at him, but the image of Konstantin burned into Alexei’s eyes made him hypersensitive to touch, and he shoved Sol away.MoreLess
