The small pink hind sat in the meadow, looking at a patch of struggling strawberry plants. She was a gardener, but she was a strange, and rather unintelligent girl. She had gotten so absorbed into watching the plants she had had forgotten how long she had been there, though if Ellie had to guess by the amount of time mister moon had come out it had been at least three days. Ellie didn't normally sleep, but this didn't stop her from getting tired, and three days of watching this strawberry had left her incredibly tired.
"If Ellie stops watching, little berry will grow up without me..." she said sleepily, her eyelids beginning to grow heavy on her eyes. "Little... berry..." she murmured.

Morpheus was having a very busy day, easily frightened herla were aplenty and he was feeling good. Slowly drifting through the forest, visiting one sleeping herla after another. He created nightmares wherever he went, drawn to the herlas that were dreaming.
As he made his way out of the forest, he began to sense another sleeping form in the nearby meadow. His blue eyes gleamed in the darkness as he entered the strawberry patch.
"Oh, my dear, you seem to have quite a talent for gardening," he snickered. "I just hope your dreams are just as wonderful."

Ellie's body easily slipped into a deep sleep, her mind turning to a dream, and just as fast as it went to a dream, it became a nightmare.
Ellie was standing at the edge of a dark forest, a small fawn once again. Dark shadows lurked in the depths of the forest, and she was alone. Lightning crashed. Whimpering, the small dream-Ellie backed up against a tree.
"Where are Ellie's friends?" Ellie asked, her voice tiny and off-sounding, as if she'd been crying. "Mister Nuke?" she called, her mate being the first Herla to come to mind. "Please don't leave Ellie alone..."

"Oh? But my dear, you are alone."
Morpheus' grating voice echoed through the darkness, as he remained hidden in the shadows. He sneered to himself, at least this girl had created an environment that he could make full use of.
And better yet, she was hoping for help from her friends, how pathetic!
It took all his willpower to keep from bursting out into laughter. This girl would be easy to frighten, as she had already managed to work herself up.

Ellie looked up, trying to find the source of the voice. It sounded so much like something she'd heard before, like a voice from another dream...
Demon! Demon! the voices echoed her thought throughout the forest.
"No! Ellie's not a demon and Ellie's not alone! Elllie has... Ellie has..." she turned a tight circle, trying to look at her back. Where was Cupcake? He didn't leave her, did he?
"Ellie has... someone... somewhere..." she whispered. Her friends would help her, wouldn't they? Just like they always did... Like how Nuke saved her from the scary monster, he could do it again right?

Morpheus' claws clattered against the bark of a tree, they dug into it and pulled it apart. It took all he had not to just wrench the bark off the tree, but his overcame this urge. He knew that if this girl was so afraid of being alone, alerting her further to his presence would only make things harder for him.
"My dear, you have no one, you scared them all away." He smiled, making note of what her own mind was conjuring up. "Monsters don't deserve things like friends."
His whisper still managed to echo throughout the trees, as he silently drifted closer.

Ellie started crying. "Ellie's not a demon, not a monster. They told Ellie Ellie was but Ellie's friends said Ellie wasn't." she said stubbornly, through her tears, but was finding even her own thoughts hard to believe.
Maybe Ellie... didn't have any friends? Then that means no one told Ellie Ellie wasn't a demon or a monster... so maybe Ellie is a demon.
Demon! Demon! the voices echoed again.
"But Nuke said it to Ellie... said Nuke loved Ellie, when Nuke and Ellie was about to get eaten..." Ellie sniffled, not feeling consoled. Nuke wasn't here, no one was. Her words didn't mean anything in this forest of darkness.
