He was dreaming of the lamia, poisoning his body, but also his dreams... It was when they'd first met two days ago, yet he let her get so close to him...
He had been waiting inside a mall, waiting for it to close... He was sobbing in the restroom, pondering what he'd done to get all his friends killed... He stepped out, and began walking out, when he walked straight into the Lamia...
"Oh, I'm sorry, I should've watched where I was going..." The lamia said, behind a dozen shopping bags. He'd been knocked to the ground, looking up at the source of the voice. She was a tall, beautiful woman, brunette locks of hair tumbled around her shoulder, perfectly framing her face. She had deep red eyes, slit pupil like a reptile's, but he didn't seem to notice, or didn't want to... She helped him up, but he was too awestruck to say anything, captivated by her perfectly narrow cheekbones accenting her cherry red lips. She wore tight leggings, and a thin blue sweater, jewelry draped on her neck, ankles, and pierced to her ears, golden snakes spiraling up...
"Hello...?" She asked, directing his gaze away from her very low v neck...
"Hello... Who're you?" He asked, his cheeks flushed as he slowly stood up, trying to rub the dirt off of his face, and combing his hair with his hands...
"Ah. I am Allanna,"
"Allanna? I'm Theo..." He muttered, staring at the woman...
"What are you doing all on your own?"
"Uh, I was shopping..." He replied sheepishly,
"Where's your shopping bags?" She asked.
"Um... I didn't have any money to buy anything..."
"Why'd you come to the store silly?" She giggled. "Where are your parents?"
"I don't have any."
"Oh... I'm so sorry... Here, come to my house, I'll get you fixed up, maybe you could be my dinner?"
"Yeah. Food'd sound nice..." He said. The lamia had him under her spell, and he helped her with her bags, and they left together...
He wasn't able to continue the nightmare... For he had woken. He looked around, and found Maroe staring at him. What made matters worse was, he talked in his sleep...
