I think it'll help set my mind at ease a little. I'll be over soon.

Jade shows up a few minutes later, almost frantically pounding on the door. She's still dressed in her pj's which consist of a tank top and shorts. Her hair is a mess and she has dark circles under her eyes.

As soon as she sees him she pulls him into a tight hug, thankful that what she saw wasn't actually real. She closes her eyes for a moment and immediately sees him covered in blood again.
Her face pales and she's quick to hold him at an arms length to really study him to make sure he's okay. "There was so much blood... DJ. I.. I thought she'd killed you..."
@magustempus
DJ?!
Are you okay??
Are you hurt???
She nods slowly, still trying to differentiate reality from her nightmares. She allows him to lead her inside. She looks around quickly while he locks the door. It doesn't look or smell like Lilith has been in here. That helps her to relax just a little.
"No. I don't think so anyway. I don't know... I had a nightmare. It all seemed so real. Some of it was real. The stuff that had happened to me. I was being forced to watch her do it to you." Jade isn't sure if anything she's saying makes any sense.
@magustempus
DJ?!
Are you okay??
Are you hurt???
"Yeah... Yeah... Just a nightmare..." She mumbles but it still doesn't seem like she's fully back in reality yet. She can still see the blood if she closes her eyes, she can still hear the screams echoing. She can hear herself begging Lilith to stop, to let him go.
Tears begin to form in the corner of Jade's eyes and slowly roll down her cheeks. "DJ... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. It's all my fault."
@magustempus
DJ?!

Are you hurt???
Jade sort of collapses against him, holding him as tight as she can.
"She.. She hurt you and... And I... I couldn't.... Do anything to stop her."
She does her best to speak between sobs.
@magustempus

She looks at him. Really looks at him this time.
"DJ! Why can I still see all the blood... Why can I still hear the screaming..."
She's still scared but this time for an entirely different reason. This isn't normal.
@magustempus
DJ?!
Are you okay??
Are you hurt???
"Yes!
She's trembling.
"Do you think it could be more anon magic?"
@magustempus

"I don't think time-frames matter to them.."
She pulls out her phone to check her messages.
"Fuck!"
@magustempus
DJ?!
Are you okay??
Are you hurt???
She tosses her phone over to him, dejectedly.
"Certainly explains everything.."
@magustempus
DJ?!

What DJ would see was the magic anon for Jade to have vivid nightmares regardless whether she was awake or not.
@magustempus
DJ?!
Are you okay??
Are you hurt???
Jade slumps down on one of the couches with a sigh.
"I don't know... I mean.. I guess you can remind me that whatever terrible things I'm going to see aren't real."
@magustempus
DJ?!
Are you okay??
Are you hurt???
She smiles softly at him.
"I'll never turn down a reason to hold your hand."
@magustempus
DJ?!
Are you okay??
Are you hurt???
She interlaces her fingers between his and leans her head on his shoulder.
"I guess I should try to get some more sleep..."
She seems hesitant to close her eyes.
@magustempus
DJ?!
Are you okay??
Are you hurt???
"I'm scared to go to sleep. I don't know what I'll see. Well, I know some of what I'll see."
She tightens her grip on his hand.
@magustempus
DJ?!
Are you okay??
Are you hurt???
"Okay. You promise you'll still be here when I wake up?"
She really, really doesn't want to go back to sleep but she's so tired.
@magustempus
DJ?!
Are you okay??
Are you hurt???
"As long as you're here with me I know I'll be safe."
She smiles, her eyes closing as he kisses her forehead.
@magustempus
DJ?!
Are you okay??
Are you hurt???
She cuddles closer to him and it isn't long before she falls asleep.
A few hours go by before she begins to writhe in his arms, mumbling in her sleep.
"No... Please... Stop..."
@magustempus
DJ?!
Are you okay??
Are you hurt???
Jade instinctively grips his hand but she doesn't wake up just yet. Instead, her feet find purchase on the couch and she uses the leverage to try and push herself away from Lilith. With her still holding onto DJ's hand she isn't able to get far.
"No... No please.... No!"
She startles awake, her face and hands are clammy. It feels like her heart is going to beat out of her chest with how hard it's pounding.
@magustempus
DJ?!
Are you okay??
Are you hurt???
Jade clings to him. She can't help it. She's still so terrified and disoriented from her most recent nightmare and DJ is solid and warm. She does her best to keep herself together so she doesn't start sobbing all over again but her entire body trembles.
"DJ.."
