I was sitting in the kitchen reading when Michael finally crawled out of his pit. I looked at him over the top of my book. His eyes were red and blotchy, like they had been in my dream.
"I had a bad dream." He grumbled as he switched the kettle on.
"You too, huh?" I replied then smiled when he switched the kettle off and reached into the fridge for a coke can. He passed me one as he sat down opposite me at the table.
"What happened, Mikey?" I asked as I placed my book onto the table.
He shrugged, looking at the can in his hands. "The usual. Fangs, me, running and you. It was different though. I was standing there, in the darkness, and I was watching you and me. But it wasn't me. It was a monster imposing as me. You was comforting him and the look in your eyes, those eyes, you just ... You realised he wasn't me though and you ran. Gosh! You impressed me. You leapfrogged the sucker! He looked so confused and I was laughing. He didn't run after you though because he came after me." Mike said then smirked.
I nodded. "You was watching us" I whispered.
Mike looked up now. "You saw it too" He mumbled.
"Yeah, I thought he was you but then he smiled and those teeth." I shook my head then added, "You are late for work."
He looked at me for a while, registering what I had just said, then he rushed away. I smiled stupidly to myself, that's when I heard a crash.
