Reacruing Dream(open)

[Yamamoto]

Bamre was laying in his bed asleep. The barracks seemed quite and Purth was laying in his bed beside Bamre's bed. The 6 fireliazrds of Bamre's fair were laying in Bamre's bed and were curled up all around there pet. Yet the white riders sleep was not as peaceful as it normally was. Bamre lay there in a cold sweat as a he had anthoer nightmare.

Trapped by people he did not know form out side the weyr. He scearmed for Purth yet the white was no where to be found. The people were hitting him and then out form bettewen came his fair yet the firelizards were subudued and before his eye's and then killed. His percious fair killed just like his friend Steel. Then before he knew it they countied to beat him and it was soon he was beging drug away.

Purth had climbed up halfway in the bed and was nugding Bamre say reasurringly Mine wake up. Don't worry they won't hurt your fair. I will protect them. I will protect you. Bamre's fair was sending the white rider reasurring thoughts as he sat talking in his sleep saying " No help me. Please don't kill them. They are my family. Please don't hurt me." Purth was getting desperate and had clawed his way up into Bamre bed and was barley purched up there trying to get his rider to wake up by nudging him. Mine please don't be scared. I am here for you so there is no reason to fear. We will all protect you. The white was worried because these dreams had been occuring nightly sinice the little bronze flit Topaz was born.

R'yan, what's that noise? Douxth nudged at R'yan , who flung an arm up in defense. "G'way, mm sleeping," came R'yan's mumbled reply. R'yan! R'yan sighed and rolled over, rubbing his eyes as he focused on his dragon. "Douxth, it's not even light out yet," R'yan said, groaning at the early hour. R'yan, it came from over there, Douxth persisted. R'yan sighed, knowing that Douxth's curiosity would not be satisfied until he agreed to go investigate with her. "Come on," he said, standing up. They made their way toward where the noise was. R'yan didn't really pay attention to where they were going; he was more focused on simply following Douxth and not falling asleep on his feet. Finally, Douxth stopped. R'yan frowned and tilted his head as he looked at Bamre. Bamre's dragon, Purth, was huddled next to Bamre, who was moaning and muttering things in his sleep. Bamre looked quizzically at Douxth, "Should we try to wake him?" he asked. R'yan looked at Purth, but he was unable to tell if the white dragon was awake or not.

[Yamamoto]

Bamre still lay the there the image of his fair being killed was running thorugh his head over and over again. The little white was getting very worried that was when Purth saw Douxth and R'yan he quickly looked up at the two and siad to them Mine is asleep yet he is very scared and I can't seemed to wake him up. I don't know what to do. This has been happening alot now lately. Bamre fair aslo looked at R'yan which showed that all of them where unable to sleep becusae of worry over there pets dreams. The flits then started to crawl over Bamre. Diamond laid by Bamres head. Emerald and Iron where curled up togther down at his feet and the three babys were curled up together somwhere in the middle.

R'yan and Douxth looked at each other worriedly; if Bamre's own dragon couldn't wake the rider up, there wasn't much chance that they could either. But still, they had to try, for it looked to R'yan like Bamre was having some pretty bad nightmares. He kept mumbling and shifting, and his bedding was pretty tangled around him. R'yan sat down on the edge of Bamre's bed and shook the rider gently. "Bamre? Bamre, wake up, you're just dreaming." R'yan shook him a little harder when there was no response, "Bamre, wake up," he said sharply. Obviously the normal methods for waking someone up weren't going to work. Something a bit more dramatic was needed. R'yan looked over at Purth, "Maybe some water?" he suggested.

[Yamamoto]

It was at the moment that water had been suggested to wake him up. Bamre sprung awake and in fear clung to the closest thing avialibe which happen to be R'yan. He was very scared which was obvious by his tremibling. His fair quickly found any purch that they could on the white rider and Iron and Emerald sat on ethier side of Bamre. Purth then said to Bamre Mine it will be alright now. You are awake and me and your fair are here with you so there is no reason to be afraid anymore. Bamre's flit began to send comfronting images to Bamre to assure him that they were all safe and that no one had hurt any of them or had hurt him. Bamre still clung tightly to the greenrider and just muttered " I was so scared. I thought Purth and all my little ones were dead and that I was next." He began to cry bruying his face in the others chest.

R’yan let out an ‘oof’ as Bamre crashed into him, his hands desperately clutching at R’yan’s bare shoulders. Douxth let out a squeal of panic and dashed out of the room. Still curious though, and worried about her own rider, she peeked back around the edge of the door. Mine, is Purth’s all right? she asked. Douxth rather liked Purth. She considered him very pretty because he had a tendency to shine in both sunlight and moonlight, and Douxth loved everything shiny. “He’s going to be,” R’yan answered. R’yan’s warm brown eyes widened at Bamre’s wild fear, his tears, and rather bruising hug. R’yan was normally at ease around people, but this bizarre situation confused him. He awkwardly patted Bamre for a minute, allowing himself to calm down as well. The white rider’s violent awakening had startled R’yan, and his heart was just starting to beat normally. However, he could still feel Bamre’s thundering against him. More controlled now, R’yan ran a soothing hand over Bamre’s back and hummed like his mother used to when he had a bad dream. “It’s all right now, it was just a nightmare, nothing's wrong,” R’yan said in a soft, sing-song voice, “You’re fine, everything’s fine.”

[Yamamoto]

Bamre was soon started to calm down though there were still tears coming down his face and he still clung to the green rider who was comfronting him. Diamond climbed up on Bamre's shoulders and she chriped a her pet lovlingly. She then rubbed her head angist his cheek. Purth then siad to Bamre R'yan is right Mine. You will be fine. Everything is ok. I am here for you and so is your fair. We are all ok and so are you Bamre siad to them in his trembling voice " It seemed so real. I thought that I lost all those that I cared for. Oh R'yan I was scared that I was going to forced to live alone again. Without my fair or Purth." Purth quickly said reasurringly to his rider Mine I won't ever let you be alone ever. I won't leave you. We will be togther always. I promise.

[cherryberry]

“You’re not alone, Bamre,” R’yan said, holding the older weyrling and rocking like Bamre like he was an agitated toddler. R’yan was not used to having the comfort others since usually people were so buoyant in his present, so the experience was a little unsettling. “You won’t lose them, not here in the Weyr,” added R’yan. Of course, with the threat of Thread in the air, there was always the possibility of losing everything, but R’yan didn’t think that now was the time to talk about Thread. The whole idea was rather unhappy-ish to him. R’yan let out a soft croon and brushed Bamre’s hair back from his forehead. “Purth would never leave you, and I doubt your firelizards would either, hun.” R’yan glanced over to the many flits that decorated Bamre’s room; Bamre was the only person he knew of who had every one of the main colors. “You don’t have to live alone, especially in the Weyr. We’d never let you be alone.” I would never leave you, mine, Douxth said adamantly from the doorway. R'yan gave her a soft smile, I know you wouldn't, darling.

[Yamamoto]

R'yan's words were extemrely comfronting to Bamre. Bamre then let go of R'yan and sat back on his bed and crossed his legs and let Purth rest his head in his. Bamre began to rub the white's eyeridges. This was also comforting to Bamre, but mostly the green riders presance's. He then looked around his bed just to make sure that all of his firelizards were there and they chriped at him to show him that they were all also here. He then looked at R'yan and though his look of fear was still on his face he was no longer crying. He then siad " I have been having this dream for awhile now. I don't know what to do becuase it is inturppting my sleep. I know that me and my fair and Purth are safe here in the Weyr. Though somthing keeps making me think that I will lose it all and that it is all just a dream and that one day I will wake up back home again and I will be all alone."

[cherryberry]

R'yan rubbed his hand in circles on Bamre's back, trying to be comforting. He supposed he'd entertained fears like Bamre's every now and then, but he'd never allowed them to take a hold of him like this. But it was obvious from the amount of flits Bamre had that the white rider had a special bond with them, so it was no wonder the thought of losing them all, and his dragon, terrified him. "I wish I could help you," R'yan said sadly, "but I never had many nightmares; I don't know how to deal with them. "I think when you have the dream you're just going to have to recognize that that's all it is." He frowned with concern at the fear he could still see in Bamre's eyes. He slung an arm over Bamre's shoulder, "Look honey, I'm here for you if you need me, ok? Whatever you need to help you get over these dreams, I'm there for you."

[Yamamoto]

Bamre then though he was still scared was beganning to fill a bit safer. He then leaned his head onto R'yan's shoulder. He then siad to him "Thank you R'yan. You are right it is just a dream. Maybe I should not be so scared." He then siad to R'yan after he said he would be there for him the white rider smiled abit that he had found anthoer person that he could trust. He then said " Thanks R'yan that was very sweet of you to say." He found the green rider to be a very nice person. Emerald climbed onto R'yan's shoulder becuase she was happy that the green rider was being so nice to her pet. Purth then siad to Bamre See Mine you have friends and you won't be alone.

[cherryberry]

"Oh, I just like to be helpful," R'yan said, blushing at the complement. He was sure that if any of the other riders had woken up they would have offered the same assistance. When Douxth had relayed what Purth said, R'yan nodded firmly. "Of course you have friends here." R'yan smiled at the green flit and stroked her a bit with his free hand. He peered down at Bamre to see if the rider was still afraid, but all R'yan could see was the top of his head. But at least Bamre was relaxed enough to rest his head against R'yan. "You ready to try sleeping again?" R'yan asked. He didn't want to push the guy, but poor Bamre would have to go back to sleep at some point. "Or do you want to tell em about the dream? Would that help? It's up to you Bamre."

[Yamamoto]

Bamre left his head on the green riders shoulder and he siad " Well it would be nice to talk about it with someone." He then sighed and siad " Well there where these people who I did not know so I assumed that they came form out side the weyr. The beat me up and hurt me greatly. When I screamed for Purth to save me he did not come. So I assumed somthing must have to happened to him. Then my fair appeared out of nowhere and they tried to stop the people yet where sububded and then in front of my eyes they were killed. Then the people countied to beat me up and then drug me away." He then sighed very sadly and siad " It reminded me of how my blue flit Steel was killed when I was back at the cothold I lived out. He tried to protect me yet was killed in the process by some very mean kids." He then felt better and he said " Your a very nice person to talk to you know that R'yan."

[cherryberry]

"Wow," R'yan was stunned. He had never known about Bamre's past. No wonder the guy was having nightmares if he'd had a flit die once while protecting him. "What a horrible thing to dream about," he murmured, "It must be because of your past history that you're having these dreams. But I'm sure your flit, Steel, wouldn't want you to be upset over his death still, after all, he died to help you, not harm you." He glanced at the little green flit on his shoulder, "And now you have many others that need your care."He squeezed Bamre's shoulders gently, in semblance of a hug. "I'm glad you can talk to me," R'yan said.

[Yamamoto]

Bamre thought and and looked at R'yan and siad " You are right. Steel would not want me to be sad. I have all my flits to take care of and I have Purth down. Plus I have all my friends who I need to take care of." Purth looked at his rider and siad See Mine you will be fine now. Purth then looked at R'yan and siad I am gald that you came to help Mine. He really needs people who care for him Bamre then smiled at R'yan and reached over and hugged the greenrider and said to him " Thank you so much R'yan for helping." Bamre the looked at blushed abit becuase he had not really meant to hug him yet had felt the need to. Yet why he did not know.
