Night Stalker: Randy-Dreams Invaded

“What the hell did you do to us?” Randy demanded, pushing Thomas against the side of the castle, the man’s head smacking solidly against rock.

“Get your hands off me!” Thomas roared, shoving Randy away and bearing his fangs.

Randy stood his ground, leaving the men chest to chest. “Come on, asshole, I’ve been waiting for this for a long time,” he goaded, snarling in Thomas’s face.

Thomas smiled when a group of Stalkers surrounded them. Stepping back, he brushed himself off and ordered, “Take him to the dungeon.”

“What?” Sophie, who had been quiet until then, demanded. “You can’t be serious, Thomas.”

“Oh, I am very serious,” Thomas replied, evil emanating from every pore of his being. “Randy needs to learn who is in charge around here.”

“But, Thomas, he just wanted to know what you did to us. How did you invade our dreams?”

At her question, the Stalkers dragging Randy away stopped and faced Thomas. “That’s right, boys,” Randy quipped, “pretty soon, you’ll really be puppets on a string when Thomas is controlling your every thought…awake and asleep.”

“I didn’t control your thoughts,” Thomas scoffed.

“But you were in their dreams?” one of the Stalkers asked, clearly disturbed by the revelation.

Thomas sensed the mood shifting and decided he better put an end to the speculation quickly. He knew he should have gotten rid of Sophie and Randy long ago, but sentiment held him off. He vowed to remedy the problem soon.

“Yes,” he answered the man, “I connected with Sophie and Randy during their dreams last night. I’ve been connecting with others as well. I told all of you we were all connected. That I know what is going on with every Stalker, no matter where they are.”

Randy could tell by the disbelief on the faces of those in the yard that nobody had believed Thomas’s claims. He had to admit that he hadn’t fully believed them himself until last night. Now he knew the man was even crazier than he thought. He also knew something else. He had to get the hell out of town and fast, and if he wasn’t mistaken, Sophie had better go with him because Thomas didn’t look any too happy to have his actions revealed.
