Yesh, writing again so soon:) But I had ideas and they will not rest.

KEEFER
A bright, blinding light jerked me out of a dream. I snarled, about all I really could do.
"Awww did I scare the poor mutt?" Anders' insane laughter echoed around me. "Poor Keefer. Such a hard life. A father who beat you, a mother who left you, an uncle who betrayed you....but at least I was trying to help you, dear boy."
A deep growl echoed in my throat. "When have you ever helped me?"
"If you had come willingly, I might've found a way to make you human again. But now...." He began preparing a syringe as he spoke. "Now my dear little wolf boy, you are going to become a weapon. To be used for whatever purpose they see fit."
"In your dreams."
"Oh Keefer, you have no idea what I see in my dreams." Red liquid. Red as blood. It filled the syringe in his hand. I startled struggling, thrashing, trying to get loose. "Settle down, you'll only hurt yourself." He began to laugh again as though it were a joke and laid a hand on my arm.
"Get the h*** away from me, monster!"
He blinked. "Monster? Do you look at yourself, Keefer?" As he spoke he sank the needle into my arm. Instantly my veins started feeling like they were on fire, and it spread fast. Anders moved close to me and grabbed a handful of my hair to force my head back.
"You are a monster in every sense of the word, Keefer. You drove your mother away because of it. You killed you own father too, didn't you?"
The fire inside couldn't drown out those words. The words I'd been running from, hiding from....
"That's right. I know all about that. And it's judgement day, Keefer. You will suffer for it."

MELINA
I was safe within my dreams again, walking the halls of the house I'd seen a few times in other dreams. But now it seemed empty and sad. No laughing, no happiness...no people. Where was everyone?
Suddenly, it felt like someone, something, was pulling me out of the house, away from it. I could see figures, shrouded by fog. Some sounded like they were crying.
What had happened here?
A girl with pretty blue hair saw me, her face streaked with tears.
"I know you....don't I? I feel like I do..."
I blinked. "You do?"
She sniffled and wiped at her eyes. "I think so..."
"Are you okay?" I asked, sitting beside her.
"I...I'm..." She started sobbing uncontrollably at the same time that a stream of words came pouring out. I couldn't make out much, but I caught "kidnapped", "never find them", "die", "alone", and...."Keefer"?!
"Wait wait what about Keefer?"
"They took him!" And my friends and I'll never see any of them again!" She started crying harder.
"Ssh..." I hugged her, not knowing what else to do. "It'll be okay...everything will be okay."
"You don't..." *sob* "...know that!"
"Yes I do." So I was lying. I didn't know that. I was terrified. But I couldn't tell her that. She needed hope. "They'll get away, I know it."
The girl sniffled again, starting to calm down a little. "Who are you?" she asked, brushing a strand of blue hair out of her face.
"My name is Melina." I smiled, and as I did, she began to fade into darkness.
No, not yet, please! Don't make me go back!

Ah mysteriousness....well now you know what Keefer did. Bet you didn't know Anders was his uncle, huh? Hehehe. And if you didn't guess, Melina's dream is about Kateri. Don't know where that'll go, guess that's up to Ponyochan
