*Chapter 10*
Saved by a sex dream.
Murry had never been so worn out, but sleep wasn't going to happen any time soon. Repeatedly, Rhylent made him meditate and connect to Kel. When Murry would find the thread, Keltrix was always sleeping. Rhylent forced Murry to explain what sensation he felt around the area where Kel rested. The questions were never-ending and boarded on bizarre. After hours, Murry could barely keep his eyes open. Rhylent was unrelenting.
A slap flashed across his cheek. Murry's eyes fluttered open with the sting. That tentacle packed a punch.
"Thanks." He inhaled and walked back and forth.
"You are a strange creature. I have never been thanked for hitting a species."
"No, it's good. I have to stay up." Murry passed a skinny alien and then walked under a map. He rubbed his eyes and his throbbing cheekbone.
"See him again." Rhylent pointed to the chair. "There has to be something I can use. Tell me anything you see or feel."
Murry sat and then hunted for the connection. In minutes, he came across Kel. Murry was getting much faster at finding the brain meld. The alien's mind was more active this time. Keltrix was dreaming.
Curious as always, Murry followed the thoughts until he came to a clear vision. The picture was as if Murry was staring at Kel through a large square single-pane window. He yelled for Kel, but the alien didn't respond. A dream version of himself walked into the scene. Now Dream-Murry and Dream-Kel were talking in a dark room. It was odd to see himself as Keltrix did. Was Murry's hair that long? He should cut it or get a comb.
Abruptly, Kel pressed Dream-Murry back against the wall and pulled off Dream-Murry's robe and pants. Damn. Murry exhaled in a whoosh. Keltrix was having a sex dream. The vision was so surprising that Murry's eyes snapped open. He licked his lips almost able to taste watermelon on his tongue.
"Is Keltrix awake?" Rhylent asked. "Please tell me Keltrix is awake." The alien sounded hopeful.
"No." Murry shook his head. "He's dreaming."
"That might help. What is the dream about?"
