Well, here is the second chapter in the series, hope it meets up to your expectations.
*****
Colin and Alecia proceeded to make small talk and though she never outright accused him of mentally peeping at her thoughts, more than a few of the things she said seemed like little innuendoes regarding the daydreams Colin had witnessed.
It would likely be unnerving enough for someone to know said daydreams amounted to borderline rape fantasies involving the two of them- who knows what that someone would think should they learn in all of those fantasies SHE was the aggressor!
Eventually Colin made a feeble excuse of going to get another beer. He stood up and headed to the bar. As he ordered his drink Gavin stepped up to ask, "Well, have we learned anything?"
"Well," Colin started, "Her real name is Alecia Merriam, she is aspiring for a post in the space program, and..."
"And?"
Colin sent the rest to Gavin telepathically, 'She knows I've been snooping around in her brainbox, I'm sure of it!'
Gavin glanced toward Alecia's direction; she showed no sign of the anger he would expect from her knowing what Colin did, "She doesn't look too upset about it," he whispered, "You sure you're not just being paranoid?"
When Colin looked back Alecia gave him a smile that could have been completely innocent; but just easily could have not been, "I'm sure."
Downing half his drink in one gulp, Colin walked back to her and said, "Look, I got a lot of work to do in the morning, so I'm gonna call it an early night."
"Oh," Alecia looked disappointed, "Well, it was good talking to you. Maybe we could do this again?"
"Maybe, we'll see."
In truth Colin had fallen behind on a term paper, but that night he had trouble concentrating on his typing. Most of it was what Gavin had said- assuming Alecia was aware of his actions she had been acting rather calm about it; were their positions reversed he probably would have been furious, or at the very least embarrassed. And the things he daydreamed about were g-rated compared to what he saw in her head.
Still the talk with her had freaked him out almost as much as what he'd seen in his telepathic intrusions. Colin decided then and there that making more contact with Alecia, whether in person or in a 'meeting of the minds' was asking for trouble. Better to quit her cold turkey.
When he had finally finished as much work as he was going to that night, Colin tried to get some sleep. The last thoughts on his mind when he eventually nodded were of the other girl he saw in the last of Aleica's daydreams he peeped on. Who was she? Who was she to Alecia?
'Maybe it's better I don't know,' he thought as he closed his eyes.
Colin dreamt he stalked toward a castle under cover of a moonless night. He wore armour made of hardened leather, a short sword in one hand, a grappling hook in the other. Stopping half a foot away from the castle walls he hurled the grappling hook toward an open window; when it caught he pulled himself upward, scaling the stone barrier like Adam West in a batsuit.
Heaving himself over the widow sill and dropping to the floor soundlessly he froze straining his ears for the sounds of any guards or servants who might be close by. After long moments of hearing nothing he carefully stalked forward, eyes darting in all directions until he saw what he was looking for.
Had Colin been awake and somewhat objective he probably would have questioned how a medieval castle could have a functioning electronic elevator, but in the surreal world of dreams it seemed to make perfect sense.
The anachronistic elevator doors slid open as it reached the dungeon level; Colin sprang between them and brought his blade down on two animate skeletons flanking an oaken cell door. The undead guards disposed of, he gripped the steel ring bolted to the door with both hands and heaved it aside; the light of torches on the walls showing a fair maiden who was a dead ringer for the mystery girl Colin had been contemplating when he drifted off to slumber.
The girl had been mute in Alecia's daydream but she spoke here, "How did you get past the sorceress?"
"If we move quickly and quietly she need never know I came," Colin said as he used his dagger to break a link in the chain at the girl's ankle, "But we have to move now."
