A Simple Dream... Right?

You've changed...

You became so distorted, I couldn't recognize you anymore.

You weren't always like this.

I... I used to remember, during the scariest and darkest of nights, you found me.

Despite your urge to leave me, you fought against your bitter half.

Suddenly, you took me in, but you still despised yourself on that action.

Yet... You didn't show any sign of regret.

That was when I saw it; I saw the weakened flame flickering inside you.

So bleak, I thought it was bound to die.

But as months went on, I noticed the flame growing.

At the same time, your bitterness was slowly fading.

Soon you became... more nice. More kind.

You treated me like family. You grew to... Grew to love me.

From then on you changed from the miserable man I once knew and became a father I never dreamed of having.

You were so compassionate. So understanding. So loving.

Most of all... So happy.

And I, too, was happy.

As years went, I couldn't have found a better father.

But everything changed on that day.

That day you met someone.

Someone wicked.

After that day, I noticed something different about you.

Whenever we're alone together you'd stay silent.

Whenever I'd get hurt, you wouldn't get concerned.

And when I tried to love you, you'd just avoid me.

Eventually I began to realize that you weren't the father I once looked up to; I began to realize you were becoming something... sinister.

As days went by, you started doing all sorts of terrible things. Awful, horrible things.

Yet, despite all that, I still loved you.

One day though... You got so angry that- *sniff* that you tried to do something horrid to me.

When I looked into those eyes of yours, and through them I saw nothing but anger and hatred.

I was so terrified that I woke up. I broke out in shambling tears.

You then ran into my room, asking what was wrong with me so worriedly.

The moment you touched me, I recoiled.

But then I soon found out that whatever happened earlier was just a nightmare.

I dived into your arms, holding you so tight, explaining what I experienced.

With loving words, you said you'd never hurt me.

The caring sound of your voice, the affectionate feeling of your hand brushing my head.

Inside I was so relieved that it was only a bad dream.

Foreshadowing, eh?

Smitten by evil? Taken as a thrall to Chrysalis?

Favorite team lost?
