So I dreamt my best friend Kairu and I were in a world where at a certain age (I think 23 was the age) people were FORCED to marry another person. If you had a person you loved by then, good for you, but if you didn't get married by then the system would choose you a partner. Oh and divorce was illegal. In this dream I saw it like a movie playing out. It started with a man. Tall, dark skinned, bleeding from his right arm quite badly. He was running somewhere. Away from people. Then we showed up. I appeared first and got his attention. Grabbed his good arm and started pulling him along behind me as I ran off. My hair was longer and back to its original sandy blond. It was strange really lol After we get far enough away from people Kairu appears. He's driving a beautiful car. I think it's purple roadrunner but I didn't get a good enough look at it. We pile in the back and he drives us away from there. Kairu has his silver hair but his hazel eyes occasionally gain glints of violet behind them as we're going. The man is in complete disarray. I've started cleaning up his arm and wrapping it with clean bandages. "They took her. They took Jezibelle." He whispers as we drive. Kairu shows me an image on a holographic screen. I glance between it and him. Nod. And he puts it away. "That's where you're wrong. We took her. To safety. And that's where we're taking you." Kairu tells him as we continue driving off. He goes quiet. His name was Phillip. He and Jezibelle fell in love just a year prior but she was a year older than him they were going to take her and force her to marry some rich bastard that had been eyeing her like a piece of meat. She then learned of the group we worked with. A group fighting to help people get their happy ending. We had "kidnapped" her and then she told us who he was. By the time we'd found him he was already bloodied from asking the wrong people the right questions. Our problem came when the first stop on our journey got discovered. We hadn't been there long. We just barely had time to get some food and supplies picked up before needing to leave. Kairu started up the car and it was like he set off a beacon because suddenly there were a bunch of that rich bastards goons on the road ready to throttle him. Kairu opened that holo screen again and it linked up to the one I had. Phillip watched as his face appeared on it. "Grab the ride out back. Wait till you can't hear me anymore. Then go." Kairu stated and then showed us the view of the road. "You better get back to base in one piece." I more or less snapped. Kairu just laughed at that. "I always do." Then hung up. Phillip and I were inside. We listened as Kairu took off and the goons followed him. When we heard nothing more we worked our way out back and over to my Chevy sedan. We drove off after a couple more minutes and that's when Phillip decided to speak. "So is he--" "My husband? Yeah. And he's the craziest bastard I've met." I tell him with a laugh. "But you two seem... So different." "We are in most ways. But we have a lot of similarities. We were fast friends when we met. Didn't want the government to decide our fates so we married. Not saying there isn't love there but it ain't like you and Jezibelle. It's more just two friends who knew where we'd end up if the government had us and knew how deadly those options were." "And the organization?" "We found them a few years later. We chose to work with them and help as many as we can. He and I work off each other so well that we just stayed a team like we always have been." "Do you two plan to find love?" "He doesn't seem to want to. I have someone else I love in such a manner. We didn't marry out of love so it doesn't bind us as it would others. It's our friendship that binds us." "You two are strange. Stranger and crazier than most." "We get that a lot."
