you don't own me ❄ open, nightmare

[pallid-i]

The small kit was barely here for more than two days, and he was already having a nightmare. He shifted around, wrapped tightly in a sweater he had "borrowed" from his father. The dream he was having.. It was odd. He was being dunked into a river by something.. Someone. They held his head tight between their paws and just forced him under. He screamed and screamed before the world melted away and there was only white. He found himself back in the snow, with someone calling out to him. "Harrison.. Come home. Harrison..." The kit's legs started moving on their own, but the more he walked, the darker the snow grew in color.. until it turned red and sticky. That's when the kit cried out in fear as the red snow clung to his fur and slowed him down. Horrible screeching filled his ears. Familiar voices.

Harrison woke up with a startled mewl and found himself crying, and then he pressed his face into the sweater and began to wail out loud.
