In the past, Eron has broken rules to protect Julia, but now, when she seems to need him more than ever, he can't reach her. Eron was human once too, many years ago, and he remembers how it felt to lose the one he loved. Just weeks ago, her boyfriend died in a car accident, and Eron can tell that she feels more alone than ever. But he can't deny that he feels something for Julia, a lonely girl with fiery red hair and sad dreams. After all, becoming too involved in one human's life could prevent him from helping others get their needed rest. Though he can communicate with his charges in their dreams, he isn't encouraged to do so. He is a Sandman, a supernatural being whose purpose is to seduce his human charges to sleep. When I rise past the leaves to the branch she’s lounging on, I realize that she’s not just in a joyful mood she’s in a joyful mood because my student is … Oh, how improper.Chimere has her shoe off, and her skirt is pulled up to her knee.Eron DeMarchelle isn't supposed to feel this connection. Here I thought she’d be in a sour mood like me, scolding our newest member for his transgressions. If he is not behaving himself like a proper Sleepbringer, then I cannot be human.Before I can climb Julia’s tree, I hear Chimere’s giggles. His interference with the human world caused me to fade. If he hadn’t swatted me there, I might have had a few more moments with Julia.
And all because of my student, who can’t for the life of him follow simple directions.I grimace, rubbing my sore head. Instead, I barely had time to orient myself before fading. By now, my time on earth should be stretching to at least three or four hours each day. It’s less than five days before I’m supposed to return to the human world for good. To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:Īt the most.By the time I’m back on Julia’s front lawn, I’m in a dither.
