Shade wakes up at the sight of the sad dreams. He looks at Tess sadly. "That little girl.....in the vision.....is that you?" He asks with a sad and surprised expression in his eyes.

She sniffed. "Yeah. I used to be abused." She pulled up both sleeves to reveal tons of scars and since healed cuts.

"Wow......That....That's terrible......" He puts a hand on her shoulder. "I'm so sorry about your past...."

"Yeah, well it's not like you could've done anything." At first it wasn't noticable, but there was a large scar going down the left side of her cheek. "Anyways, you looked like you were.. watching something. What happened?' She didn't seem to know that Shade saw the visions of her dreams. And, she appearently didn't put two and two together that Shade knew she had that dream.

"Those people though.....they look awfully familiar. That lady looked like the lady that ran the orphanage me and my sister were at for quite some time. And the man.....he looks like, my foster dad. I'm not saying they are who I said they look like but, it's kinda creepy..."

"W-Wait, how did you know I had that dream? Or the other? If you saw that, then you must've seen..." She blushed a dark red. "A-Awkward.."

Shade turned red. "Nope, I did not see that. At all. I saw NOTHING of the sort." He prays in his head she would believe him.

"If you said "that" and are blushing, then you must've.." Oh dear lord he thinks I'm weird. God kill me now. She blushed more, putting her head into her hands to hide it.

Oh no! I'm doomed for eternal awkwardness!!!Shade shrugs and turns a darker red. "I want to say I didn't see it, but I.....kinda sorta maybe a little saw a tiny fraction of it. Then it was gone. I wish I could mine erase just about now..."

"Oh dear lord, you think I'm weird don't you? I don't know why I dreamt it, it's not like I, um, LIKE you or anything.." She gave a nervous laugh. "My brain has been working weird lately, ahah.." She continued blabbing on and stuttering nervously.
