She let his fingers slid her eyes close and she calmed herself down. For a moment, nothing happened. She could hear the ticking of a clock somewhere nearby and the slow breathing of hers. She told herself to relax abit more and that was when she felt something happening. Her body felt heavy and her hands limp. She became tired and soon she fell asleep. In her mind, she opened her eyes and when she looked about, there was nothing, nothing but darkness. She turned around and tried to see if Nightmare was there but he wasn't. Telling herself not to panic was not easy but Natalia was not a female prone to panic. Instead, she calmed herself down and and waited patiently. She felt a little giddy but Natalia recalled what Nightmare had told her and reminded herself that was just a side effect.

Just as she was getting adjusted to the dark, Natalia found the environment around slowly taking shape. The darkness slowly but surely disintegrated into a green background. She looked down at her feet and was surprised to find grass. As everything took shape, Natalia was well aware of the fact that everything seemed bright and extremely vivid. She knelt down, unable to resist, and touched the grass with her bare hands. It felt so real and if she did not continuously tell herself that it was all a dream, she might actually believe she was standing in a field.

Amazed, she smiled to herself and gone was the worry and panic. In its place was curiousity that compelled her to want to find out more. She whipped around slightly startled at hearing Nightmare's voice. She considered his question before answering him slowly, "I still feel slightly fuzzy up here," she pointed to her head, "but other than that, pretty good."

Waving her hand at their surroundings, Natalia addressed Nightmare, "This is amazing. It seems so real that I have to keep reminding myself it's not."
