All bad things begin

At night when she screams.

The fears from within

Become lucid dreams.

The dark shadows drown

Her daintiest crown:

Just to see her frown.

The diamonds go brown.

The monsters are real

Enough, she can feel

Ready to make their kill.

She wonders if it's unreal:

The tiniest of voices inside her head

Inferior to the shouts under her bed

And suddenly she's dragged into an inferno.

She sees her own self or is it the Qureno?  

Unable to save herself, her breath rushes wilder

The shadows get stronger: her screams become louder

With the flip of a switch, he steps in and saves her 

Her one true confidant her only reassurer.
