Dreams. They're a mystery. No one knows where they come from or how your mind actually processes them. No one knows... but me.

Everyone always said that nothing is as it seems. Maybe it would've been smart for me to have believed it because now, I'm someone I don't want to be. In a way, I'm a zombie. The living dead. Brought back to life through a simple dream.

I walked the streets with people giving me occasional glances. As a zombie, my entire body takes a somewhat new form. All my features are made better and my skin becomes darker. It's natural for us, but at the same time, we stand out.

"One coffee, no sugar please." I said as I sat down at a table, waiting for someone to come.

My coffee came on time and I sat there waiting in anxiety. I hadn't seen him in years because of certain issues, but now, I was so near to him. So close I could almost feel him next to me.

Hours past and he was late. Very late, but I still waited.

Soon I heard a nice gentle voice tap me on the shoulder and speak to me. "Excuse me, but we're about to close. I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

"I'm sorry, I'm just expecting someone. Do you think that I could wait about 5 more minutes?"

"Okay," the waiter said as she smiled and walked away.

5 minutes had passed and I kept my promise like I had said. I left the coffee shop feeling a little depressed, but then, I saw him.

I could smell his familiar sent and I smiled at the sight of his teeth and clothes.

I ran to him with tears of happiness and sarrow and he wmbraced me with the same love.

"Daddy," I cried into his shirt.

Rules: since this is a long term colab I need you to stay in this until the end. Other than that, you can pretty much do anything you want.

Info needed: There are creatures of the living dead that roam the surface of this earth. They watch you when you dream at night, but in the day time, they're just like you and me.

The change: When a Night Walker sees you in your sleep and thinks you are worthy of becoming a Night Walker, then he/she will basically take you from your dream. When they do, they take your real body too. All a Night Walker has to do is stare into your eyes and you become a Night Walker. You stop aging after you have been changed for 20 years and you can change people after 5 years.

Cause: There is something disturbing the balance of earth. Only the highest Night Walker knows what this is. Everyone else just knows that they needed more people.
