Ellen tugged on her overall straps. "Hey Seth, can I ask you a question?"

Seth nodded, a soft smile gracing her features. "Yeah, of course." Dang, she was becoming fond of this little gal.

"Can demons invade dreams? Like, actively step into a dream?"

Seth's brow furrowed. "I'm sure there's some kind out there that can dwell in dreams, I'm not sure about the ones we faced." she looked at Ellen, more than slightly concerned. "Why?" she asked.

Ellen stared at the ground. "I had a dream a few minutes ago, when I passed out." She drew a shuddering breath. "It was one I had before, but the demon showed up, and started talking to me."

Seth's face became relaxed, almost unnaturally, with no trace of emotion. "It could just be trauma, and if not I sure hope it's not a demon living in your dreams. Many people who experience traumatic events—" she glanced at Ellen and her face returned to normal, and she cut herself short. "We should probably talk to Ellis, just to make sure the demon isn't literally inside your dreams. I don't know if that's possible, but I really hope not. What exactly did it say to you?"

Ellen looked Seth in the eyes. She felt she trusted Seth enough to tell her. "Well… it was actually a nightmare. One about when my mom died. The dream was getting to the part where mom and I get separated and-" Ellen drew a shaky breath. "It enveloped us in a cloud of mist. I told it it couldn't hurt me. Then mom screamed from somewhere in the mist, and I told the demon this was a dream, it wasn't real, it couldn't hurt me, or mom. Then it cackled and said don't be so sure."

Seth pulled Ellen into a hug. "I'm sure… at least 87.5% sure it was just a dream, but we'll check with Ellis when he gets back to make sure that it is gone for good. And I—we— won't let that demon hurt you, in a dream or while your awake."

Ellen hugged Seth back, nodding. "Okay, it just felt so real. I mean, it felt like mom was actually screaming, not like a dream scream." She shuddered.

Seth pulled away from Ellen. "I've had dreams like that too. It always feels real, but you can't let that get to your head. The past is done, and if we let that back into our minds it consumes us and we can't get back to the present."

Ellen nodded, still uncertain. "Okay." She smiled a bit. "Thanks Seth."

"Any time." Seth smiled back.
(I gtg, there is only a slim chance that I will be on tomorrow)
