Skoliro wandered into the kitchen, a little late for following Nika. He had gotten a little distracted along the way by that bat he had called earlier to the meal. Somehow the poor thing had become tangled in the carpet, and he had to free it.
There were more mutants then he had expected in the kitchen,so he figured he better just stay were he was to help resist the temptation of their blood.

(omg no muse...)

Little Millie wiped the tears from her cheeks and looked up at the new boy. When she spoke, her voice was raspy and hardly understandble. Any mispronounciations that Millie had were lost when Gris spoke as she had other mispronounciations. "I Gris. I always sad. I bad dream, Millie's bad dream. She can't help, she's trapped in here." She pointed to her head to where Millie still dreamt of Gris touching her and Nightmare prowling in the background.

Before she was able to say anything else, she was lifted into the air and she squealed in confusion before she was held tightly. A slight panic attack came upon her as she realized that she had dropped her teddy. Her eyes grew wide with fear until the other that Gris did not know passed her Merlin again. "I not Millie. I Gris. Millie is with Nightmare. She not come out right now, she sleeping." Her voice was still raspy and slightly frightening for a girl her size. Her fingertips stopped glowly, well, at least they stopped glowing white as they were replaced with a black skin tone that was slowly taking over her fingers. Gris squealed and threw her arms around the girl that held her. "Nightmare want out! Don't let her out! Keep her sleeping! Keep her gone! No control! I in control, not Nightmare. Millie awake soon. Please Millie awake soon." With that, her arms went limp as she began to cry again, trying to push Nightmare back in her dream.

Raina looked around at the others a little worried. "Do we know what Millie's power is?" she asked in a hushed tone.
She rocked Millie back and forth in her arms. "It's ok Millie, nothing's going to get you... we're here with you." she held the child close and could feel her heart racing. Raina began to hum soothingly and she rocked the child. She pushed her hair from her face. "Gris?" she asked quietly. "Why does 'nightmare' want Millie? And where is Millie?" she shot the others a 'remain calm' look and tried her best to keep her tone soothing. She hadn't realised it... but when she had started to hum her chanting caused the room to get a bit colder and the inahibitants would have had goosebumps.

Just before Gris was going to correct Raina and restate that her name was Gris, the compassionate girl had spoken to the gray-haired child as Gris. "Nightmare want Millie's body. See? I Millie's body. Nightmare want Millie's body." She said, pointing to her black fingers. "Millie sleeps now. She in our mind, dreaming, Nightmare keep her safe in there and me, too." She lowered her voice and began to whisper. "Nightmare not happy. She a sad girl, she make everyone else sad, too. Not Millie, we don't hurt Millie. Millie be the body, we don't hurt the body. We hurt the body, we get owies."

Her whole hands turned black as the skin difference crept up higher. "Nightmare don't want me talk about her. She think it mean. I think it needed. Millie need to wake up, but me and Nightmare, we dunno how to wake her. Nightmare don't want Millie awake, anywhooies. She want the body, I the body, not Nightmare. Nightmare can't be the body." She spoke raspy still before watching her breath leave her lips. Raina's humming had caused some sort of coldness. Nightmare liked the cold, the black along Gris's arms stopped dead in it's traps and waited for it to be colder to fuel the fire. Millie's worst fears are night time, spiders, and being cold, she hates the cold. So, naturally, Nightmare's fears are the exact opposite. She hates the light, she hates heat, and she hates furry animals. Gris, however, is the middle child, she is afraid of everything. So the cold made her clutch Raina more tightly, burying her face in the girl's shirt.

Michael stood up as Raina swept up Millie. He followed to the stool where Raina sat her down and gave the kid a reassuring smile. As he listened to her try and explain he became more confused. Then as Raina began to hum he felt the drop in temperature, and saw Gris/Millie clutch tighter to her. “Raina,” he said softly, so as not to frighten the girl, “you’re starting to chill the room, and I don’t think Gris likes it.”

He took Gris’ hands in his, “Gris, stay with me ok? Don’t let Nightmare out.” He had no idea what was going on, but guessed letting out Nightmare would be bad. All he could think to do is to try and give her support.

“We’re all here with ok, all of us and teddy. Is there anything we can do to help you keep Nightmare in?” He really hoped that there was because he felt powerless to do anything to help her.

Raina stopped humming. "whoops, sorry" she smiled. "Sometimes I forget." As Gris held on even tighter Raina gave Michael a worried expression. She patted the child's back. "Gris? How do we bring Millie back?" she asked a little afraid of the answer.

Ted watched Millie come out from under the table, and had no idea what to do. He watched Michael and Raina look after her, and decided that it was best to let them handle it. After all, he had no idea whether anything he said would be helpful, or just make things worse.

Gris looked up at Michael and spoke again. "Emmy. Mama Emmy gotten in, she help Millie and me and Nightmare. And Jeremy, he too. But he not here, he fired. Mom fired him, but now mom gone. No clue where she hides." She stopped for a moment as she switched back to her dream. Her body went limp as her dream form let go of Millie. Nightmare approached little Millie, ready to grab ahold of her, but Gris jumped in front of Millie. Little Gris was gray all over and Nightmare's skin had turned black.

"No! You not be the body!" Gris shouted, pointing at Nightmare, who just smirked and tried to push her aside as she darted for Millie. Millie screamed in her dream and dropped to her knees. Nightmare barely missed her as Millie began to glow. Nightmare flew at Millie as Gris tried to stop her, which resulted in the two of them touching her at the same time and Millie waking up in human form along with Gris and Nightmare in control. The three had never been in control, nor did they know how their tint and shade differences would affect the body. Millie, of course, was completely oblivious to what was going on. However, when her eyes shot open and her teddy dropped to the ground, her eyes had gray pupils and the rest was black, plus they were glowing. Her hair was changing between blonde, gray, and black and her skin was also going through many variations in color. Millie screamed for a second as Gris and Nightmare fell back in her dream and let go of her body. Her hair turned blonde and her eyes turned blue. Her skin returned to it's normal color and she lay, partially concious as she breathed heavily. After a few blinks, she lifted her head towards the fridge and simply said "Cookie?" Before closing her eyes again and passing out, no one was in control, not even the innocent Millie.

Michael was starting to get really scared for Millie as he saw her undergo the transformation of her eye, hair and skin colour. Not knowing what to do he just gave her hands a reassuring squeeze. When she finaly trued back to normal he felt so relived, but began to worry again when Millie passed out.

“I think we need to go see the resident Doctor,” said Michael, taking Millie in his arms, “Someone care to point the way?” He really hoped that the Doctor could do something, because he couldn’t think of anything.

Speaking of Mama Emmy, the wolf girl walked into the room, tail wagging back and forth slowly. She had caught Millie's scent earlier but realized it seemed a bit diffrent than normal.

Emerald looked at the scene before her eyes widening. The split personalities that the little one had must have done something to her little firefly.

She didnt really know the other people in the room that well but the fact they were helping millie at least meant they had a vague understanding of what was going on.

The canine bolted over to the girl that held millie, "Man i should have been here earlier I could have stopped ethier of the personalitys from taking over." The wolf girl growled aloud, guilt easy to see upon her lupine features.

She placed a hand on Millies cheek.

"Firefly its me Mama Emmy. Wake Up little one, come on you can do this."Emerald said to the six year old softly.

With the “Mamma Emmy” that Gris had spoken of here Michael began to relax. Finally there seemed to be someone who knew what was going on. “So, should I take her to see the Doc or will she be ok?” Michael asked. He really hoped a trip to the Doc wasn’t necessary and this could be dealt with easily.

Raina heald Millie tighter. "Mamma Emmy?" she looked at the wolf girl confused and feeling very protective of Millie after watching what she had gone through. "Who are you? And what just happened to Millie?" she looked down at the girl in her arms with the blonde hair and bright blues eyes. It was so much like psychosis that Raina would have believed it was had it not been for the physical change. It was literly like 3 people were fighting inside Millie. "Millie how do you feel?" Raina could almost feel tears in her own eyes threatening to spill over.

Emerald looked up at Raina a small growl escaped her lips at the sudden proectiveness that this girl had over her young charge but fought against it.

"Emerald Lupin, aquakentic and wolf metamorph. Millie's 'Mama Emmy. Millie treats me as a surrogate mother since hers is such a...well you know." The wolf girl intoduced herself hastilly.

"As for whats going on with Millie she has multipule personality disorder, its heriditary in her family, when her mother disowned her and after I slapped her mom she exibited the first signs of the disease. But had managed to get her out of this trance then and I can do it now."

Millie sat in her new dream, engulfed in a completely white environment. She looked around and crossed her legs before playing with her Wonder Teddy. A small noise sounded from behind her and she looked to see Nightmare, sitting down, an exact mirror image of Millie. Millie struggled to her feet and moved over to Nightmare, but she realized that her actions were not mirrored by Nightmare, not in the exact sense, actually, Nightmare did the exact opposite, so when Millie stepped forward, Nightmare stepped back. Millie spun around in a circle and watched as Nightmare did the same. She giggled and spun around, this time, she spun 180 degrees to find Gris on the other side, she was sitting down. Suddenly, she got up and walked towards Millie, then smiled and turned a cirlce. While Nightmare was doing the stuff that Millie did backwards, Gris was doing it a bit late. Millie frowned a sat down before hearing a familiar voice ringing in her mind. She got to her feet and followed the sounds until she fell through the white floor while Nigthmare fell up.

Millie's eyes opened partly and she saw her Mama Emmy. "Mama Emmy?" She asked in a small and tired voice. "My poorhead hurtet!" She complained as she was barely able to lift her arm and grab her forehead.

Emerald smiled gently at the little girl ruffling her hair gently. She turned into her wolven form and let out a small happy bark of joy before turning right back into her human form.

"You gave all of us quite a scare Firefly, you wanna go to bed or something? Whatever you want you can have it." he wolf girl said smiling lightly at the younger girl.
