What Dreams May Come ((Mephistopheles))

Without realizing she was doing so, Rachel wrapped her arms around Meph in a hug.

"Thank you," she spoke, grateful that someone was willing to help her.

It was strange; Rachel was accepting all this rather easily. Then again, when she woke up, she would chalk it up to being the dream seeming perfectly normal.

Nevertheless, her sense of gratitude was real, and because of this, should Meph indeed turn out to be there when Rachel went to this 'Round Table Pizza' restaurant, she would feel obligated to the woman.

Which made things all the more dangerous, given Meph's real motive for helping Rachel.

Mephistopheles quietly held Rachel, fingers drumming along the other girl's back as she let herself be hugged. The Hallmark moments were sappy and too sentimental for the demon to normally practice or endorse, but they had their uses.

It was perfectly evident that Rachel would remain loyal, and her abilities would not only be an asset, but damn entertaining to watch when put into effect. Insanity, after all, was always fun to observe. Someone going insane, all the more so. A hunter going insane, pure gold. Meph had made two vows upon learning of this girl; one was finding and training her to use her powers more skillfully, and the other was making sure the first time she used them on a hunter would be immortalized on youtube.

For now, though... the little things like getting her to California in one piece. The payoff would come soon. "Anytime, sweetie. Seeya soon." Meph answered, and the dream came to its end...

Rachel would indeed remain loyal to Mephistopheles, due to her obliviousness regarding her guide's true nature. As it stood, she saw Meph as a figment of her subconscious, or someone similar to herself who had managed to get into contact with her. And, to Rachel, that was enough for now.

As she gave a smile to Meph, she felt herself drift out of the dream and back to the real world. Checking the time and finding that it was 7:30am already, Rachel washed before changing into her clothes. After placing her piercings back in her ears, she remembered what Meph had told her, and looked in the nightstand's drawer. Sure enough, there was quite a lot of cash there, plenty to get her to where she had been told to go.

So, that was one thing settled. The person who appeared in her dreams was indeed real. Things had just gotten even stranger.
