Like last night on the roof with Cathair, she felt herself both within and above the dream world. She was aware it was a dream, and also aware that she was not entirely in control of it. She had never dreamt about an animal before. While she had seen many creatures in her dreams, one had never been the focus before in the way she was actively pursuing this wolf. As if it was the star of the dream. When the wolf reached the perimeter guard station she finally understood why. Helpless to do anything but scream, Winnie did just that—screamed and screamed—as a woman stepped into the wolf’s path and the beast immediately launched onto the fae guard. It clawed at the frail body, tearing at her chest and shoulders. The wolf’s massive jaw clamped over the guard’s throat. In one fierce movement, teeth slashed flesh and suddenly there was blood everywhere. The wolf released its prey, leaving the guard limp on the ground, lifeless.
