20 Nightmare

Lorraina beamed at Isadora when she saw Isadora in the night gown. Isadora was a bit shorter than Lorraina, but her naturally tan skin and shoulder length black hair gave her an exotic look. Her big beautiful eyes would sparkle lightly while her plump lips were inviting. Her breasts weren't as large as Lorraina's, but they were perky and perfectly proportional to her smaller frame.

"Are you and your brother from a different region?" Lorraina asked.

"My father was from the far south outside of Feldland, I do not know where exactly. Dion's father is from southern Feldland and was married to our mother. Dion's father is quite a righteous man so once he noticed I looked nothing like him, my mother confessed to infidelity. Surprisingly, Dion stood up for me and our Mother and all 3 of us were banished from our house. After 5 years, Dion's father had us run out of town by the church when he saw how happy we were together. While making our way north, we crossed in to Agistania and crossed paths with a caravan with Duke Agist. Dion, stood between us and the Duke, without backing down even, at the age of 10. Duke Agist took a liking to Dion and gave us a home here in Agistania, put Dion on the path to becoming a knight, and also hoped Dion could become a friend for his son which is about the same age."

"Awww, that's cute! I bet you were better off without Dion's father as those religious types can be very stuffy."

"Dion once told me his father became obsessed with the church to the point where he couldn't go out of the house without consulting the church first."

"Pfft... that has to be an exaggeration!"

Isadora also laughed slightly, "Probably, little boys tend to do that, but I do not doubt he was obsessed."

Isadora and Lorraina chatted happily for a bit. Eventually the candlelight faded and Isadora felt it was way past her time to go to sleep. Lorraina and Isadora both laughed when the candles went out as they realized they had been talking a long time.

"Lady Lorraina, I am so sorry for keeping you up so late, let me walk you back to your room."

"Isadora, don't worry about it! Actually, I'd feel bad having you walk back so I'll just stay in your room for the night."

"Um, so you want me to use your bedroom with Lady Lillica?"

Lorraina laughed aloud and said, "No silly! I'll share your room! Come on, we're both girls! You can consider it as returning the favor for the night gown!"

"Um, I've never been with another woman before... I do find you attractive Lady Lorraina but I've never considered... THAT... with another woman." Lorraina said while blushing slightly.

"You don't know what you're missing, but that isn't what I meant. I meant actually sleep!"

"Oh, forgive me!" Isadora covered her face with her hands as she blushed even more from embarrassment.

"You're so cute!" Lorraina walked up and hugged Isadora, "Now get in bed, I'll change into my sleepwear and join you!"

Isadora nodded and then climbed into her bed, the nightgown felt smooth and light compared to her usual night attire that was fairly thick and baggy making it easier for her to relax. She turned and peeked at Lorraina and saw that Lorraina had taken off the thick and baggy shirt and pants she normally wears to bed, leaving her nothing but stockings and her underwear.

"L-Lady Lorraina, why are you getting undressed?"

"Cause this thing is hot and itchy, I don't know how you slept in it before... now move over, I'm coming in!" Lorraina playfully pushed Isadora over in the bed and then they laid there together facing each other. Lorraina seemed very calm as she looked into Isadora's eyes while Isadora's mind was racing.

"G-G-Good night, Lady Lorraina!"

"Good night Isadora, and please call me Lorraina when we're alone."

"Ok... then good night Lorraina."

Lorraina closed her eyes and relaxed, Isadora was struggling to relax as she watched Lorraina in front of her. She knew she had to relax otherwise she wouldn't sleep, looking at Lorraina was very distracting so she rolled over to face away from her.

When she rolled over, she heard and felt Lorraina shift towards her, then felt Lorraina's arms wrap around her waist and then felt Lorraina kiss her shoulder. Isadora felt her whole body start to relax, feeling the warmth of Lorraina holding her was the most comfortable thing she had ever felt.

Isadora tried to fight it, but sleep soon overcame her. Lorraina then moved one of her hands up Isadora's body and pressed it on her forehead. Lorraina's illusion dropped as she started casting her dream on Isadora.

"About time, I was getting ready to attack her directly!" Kayne said softly from under the bed.

"I'm sorry, I've never done this before." Lorraina whispered back angrily.

"What? Coerced a female human into bed? You must be quite a natural at it!"

"Not that! I've never had to cause a painful dream..."

"Whatever, just get on with it." Kayne then stood at the foot of the bed, reached under the covers, and took hold of Isadora's ankle.

Lorraina held Isadora tightly, Isadora started to sweat and twitch, her nightmare was underway.

_________

Isadora was back in her home town, she was happy with her mother and Dion. Suddenly Dion's father burst in with dozens of men in hoods carrying torches and chanting to burn the heretic.

Isadora watched as they took away Dion and her mother in shackles, but Isadora was dragged away to a public square where a large pole was surrounded by a pile of wood that smelled of oil.

"Burn the witch! Burn the heretic!" shouted Dion's father and many of the hooded men.

Isadora tried to say something, tried to scream, but no sounds came out. They tied her up to the pole, then set the wood and oil ablaze.

Isadora tried screaming again and yet no sounds still came from her, the flames consumed her flesh, burned her long hair, and she still was conscious even as the pain became so great she wished she was dead. She could still see Dion's father and the hooded men watching the fire consume her as if her eyes were saved for last. Her legs had burned to bone as the fire seemed to be magically controlled to slowly burn her to the bone from her feet slowly up to her head.

By the time the fire reached her head, she no longer tried to scream, instead she felt joy from the fact that she was about to die.

"More! I need more!" Kayne shouted to Lorraina.

Lorraina cried softly as she cradled Isadora, her whole body was rigid and she was screaming continuously, her voice had gone hoarse yet she continued the loud guttural scream.

__________

Isadora thought it couldn't get worse and started to resign herself to her death, but suddenly her mother and Dion rushed into the fire to try and save her.

Isadora once again started to scream, wanting them to stay back, but they started to climb the wood pile to get to her and their flesh and bodies were consumed by the flames, the pain from seeing her family die was worse than the flames.

Finally, the whole world went black and Isadora's eyes shot open, her whole body aching and covered in sweat. Isadora saw she was still in her bed, her body was not burned away.

Isadora then felt Lorraina's hands on her again and remembered she had fallen asleep with her.

"A-Are you ok Isadora?" Lorraina said tiredly.

"I had... I had the worst nightmare... it felt so real... am I alive?"

"It's ok... it must've been just a nightmare... I'll stay awake this time until you can sleep again, alright?"

Isadora looked down to see Lorraina's hand on her, it looked a strange shade of color but she guessed it was just from the darkness.

Kayne blew Lorraina a kiss teasingly then walked away and faded into the darkness.

Lorraina swore to herself that she would kill Kayne should he show himself again.
