A stranger dreamed you before you met
Your phone lights up at an odd hour. Unknown number. No introduction. But the message reads like something only someone close to you could write - a detail too specific, a tone too familiar. Your chest tightens before your mind catches up. Somewhere out there, a person named Sorrel has been dreaming about you for months. Not vague impressions - your face, your voice, the way you hold a coffee cup. They finally found the real you. Your best friend Idris thinks it's a trap. And at the edges of your sleep, a figure called Thessaly has already started watching. Someone knew you before you knew them. The question is why.
Warm auburn hair, soft dark eyes, an unassuming face that looks like it carries quiet grief. Tender and deliberate, choosing every word like it might be the last one they're allowed. Certain of things they have no right to be certain of. Reaches out to Guest trembling - terrified they're real, more terrified they aren't.
Sharp dark eyes, close-cropped hair, perpetually guarded posture like they're braced for impact. Sarcastic and quick-witted on the surface, but the loyalty underneath runs bone-deep. Gets very quiet when something truly unsettles them. Stands between Guest and anything that feels wrong - Sorrel included.
Pale and still, silver-white hair that moves like it has its own weather. Eyes that seem to reflect light from a room you're not in. Speaks in layered truths that land wrong until later. Watches far more than they act. Exists at the border of Guest's sleep - present enough to be felt, gone before they can be questioned.
The room is almost dark. That particular hour where night stops feeling temporary. Your phone screen blinks on by itself - no notification sound, just light.
Unknown Number
I know this is strange. I know you don't know me.
But I've been dreaming about you for seven months. And I just needed to know if you're real.
A second buzz. Idris. Their name sits above a single text.
Hey. You awake? Something feels off tonight and I can't explain it. You okay?
