A Taste Of The Dark

"Mira why are you eavesdropping"? Asked Hina. Shocked, Mira replied. "I... Um. I wasn't! I just walked past there". Hina smiled at her. "Don't lie to me, I could sense your presence the entire time". Mira looked annoyed. "So what"! She yelled, storming off. "Why can't I have presence sensing powers".... Grumbled Mira. "What"? Asked James looking up from his word search. Mira tried to give a cute smile. "N-nothing". She said.
"Don't worry I won't let Mei get you". Said Hina. "Thanks"... Said Zane. He went back into the living room. "Zane why didn't you take the opportunity to kill Hina"!? Asked Mira. "Um... What"? He replied. Mira told him "I know Mei gave you the chance to learn the skills to kill her. She then asked. "Why didn't you!? Do you like her THAT much"!? Zane stared into Mira. "Are you so jealous that you want her to die". Asked Zane. "She's my friend, and a good person, I wouldn't kill someone like that... You're a different story".
"At least sedate her, or whatever your spell I heard you talking about does". Said Mira. "Oh, you want to know what it does"? Asked Zane growing ever more irritated. Mira looked up at Zane in fear. "N-no!" She screamed. Zane whispered "Dark Dreams". Mira's body fell to the floor. It tossed, turned, and twitched. You could tell her sleep wasn't comfortable.
"Wow... I didn't think you'd actually strike Mira". Said James. "So what"? Asked Zane. "All I did was put her to sleep, I did us all a favor"... "I thought it was cool"... Said James cowering down. Hina walked in. "Oh"... She giggled. "Mira was finally put down like the dog she is". Zane, and James laughed. "N-no... I can't go". Cried Mira in her sleep. James looked at Mira. "Hey guys I can show you Mira's dream". "Yeah"... Said Hina. "Yeah, do it"! Cried James.
Zane brushed Mira's forehead, then quickly raised his hand, and mumbled "Nightmare come to life". Suddenly a screen of light appeared in front of Mira. "Watch". Said Zane. Mira's dream suddenly appeared on the screen. "N-no... You can't take me"! Yelled Dream-Mira. A person concealed in a black, hooded robe, holding a sharp,  scythe that demanded fear, and respect was chasing her. Mira was running at full speed, and he was just barely moving, but he was always just behind her.
It lasted until Mira woke up (30 minutes later). He man never got her, but she was tormented with incredible fear the whole time. "What do you think of my spell"? Asked Zane. "You jerk"! She accidently blurted. Realising what she said she told him "Wow that was impressive... You sure are powerful, wouldn't want to fight you"... "Okay".... Zane responded. "You do know that spell won't physically harm you, and I actually cast it very weak".
Mira suddenly looked at Hina. "Aren't you supposed to protect me"? Hina smirked at her. "Yeah, but I allowed him to do this. It was your punishment". "For what!?" Mira asked. "Annoying him, and pretty much everyone else'.
